A66360	Ho Antichristos the great antichrist revealed, before this time never discovered, and proved to be neither pope, nor Turk, nor any single person, nor the succession of any one monarch or tyrant in any policies, but a collected pack, or multitude of hypocritical, heretical, blasphemous, and most scandalous wicked men that have fulfilled all the prophesies of the Scriptures ... and especially have united ... together by a solemn league and covenant to slay the two witnesses of God, Moses and Aaron ... that is, the supreme magistrate of the Commonwealth, and the chief pastors and governours of the Church of Christ, and the Christian world is requested to judge whether the Assembly of Presbyterians consulting at Westminster, together with the independents, Anabaptists, and lay-preachers be not the false prophet ... and whether the prevalent faction of the long Parliament ... that killed the two witnesses of Jesus Christ, 1. Charles the First ... 2. William Laud ... be not the grosse and visible body of the same antichrist / by Gr. Williams.	Williams, Gryffith, 1589?-1672.	1660 (1660)	Wing W2662; ESTC R25201	504,825	313

mean_v by_o the_o apostle_n to_o be_v the_o grand_a liar_n and_o the_o great_a antichrist_n that_o deni_v jesus_n to_o be_v the_o christ_n and_o so_o you_o have_v see_v what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o deny_v jesus_n to_o be_v the_o christ_n 2._o the_o other_o point_n to_o be_v consider_v be_v to_o inquire_v and_o search_v if_o we_o can_v find_v turk_n 2._o who_o can_v we_o find_v to_o have_v

you_o shall_v find_v out_o the_o antichrist_n and_o i_o believe_v we_o shall_v find_v he_o neither_o in_o rome_n nor_o in_o constantinople_n for_o the_o pope_n i_o be_o sure_a of_o it_o deni_v not_o

monarch_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o a_o king_n of_o king_n as_o his_o own_o letter_n testify_v but_o whether_o the_o long_a parliament_n and_o their_o adherent_n apostle_n let_v the_o reader_n judge_n whether_o the_o long_a parliament_n have_v not_o fulfil_v this_o say_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o in_o word_n do_v constant_o affirm_v and_o profess_v that_o jesus_n be_v the_o christ_n and_o themselves_o good_a if_o not_o the_o best_a christian_n that_o be_v on_o earth_n have_v not_o by_o their_o deed_n in_o oppose_v their_o king_n the_o substitute_n and_o vioeroy_n of_o christ_n and_o

to_o live_v in_o those_o office_n i_o leave_v it_o to_o they_o that_o can_v judge_v who_o be_v the_o liar_n and_o the_o antichrist_n and_o that_o deni_v jesus_n to_o be_v the_o christ_n only_o i_o
