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

the children of Pharez the son of Judah and Nehemias Nehem. 11.4 in the 11. ch v. 4. speaking of the same persons that then were inhabiting at Hierusalem saith that at Hierusalem dwelt Athaiah the son of Vzziah the son of Zecharia the sonne of Amaria the son of Shephatia the son of Mahalaleel of the children of Peres And how can these places that are so different and as it seems so fully contrary one to another be reconciled by him that takes no care and hath no learning nor leasure from his secular affairs and calling to search after it But the learned Tremelius was able briefly to resolve this doubt Tremel in loc saying that it can be none otherwise but that hi omnes binomines erant all these men had two names apiece or else one of the two places of the Scripture must needs be false which would be most absurd for any Christian to imagin And so of the very Kings of Juda 2 Chron. 22.6 Achazia is called Hazaria 2 Chron. 22.6 and in another place he is called Joachas and St. Matthew calleth him Ozias Matth. 1.8 Jerem 22.24 Matth. 1.8 and so Vzzia is called Azaria and Jehoiakim is called Jechoniah and by the Prophet Jeremie he is termed Coniah and abundance of men more have two or three names apiece in the holy Scripture And therefore it will require no small diligence nor any less judgement to find out the right persons that are spoken of by reason of this diversity and multiplicity of names that are given to the same persons 4. 4 The different Genealogies The different Genealogies of the persons spoken of in Scriptures do bring more doubts and require no less pains unto the reader then the diversities of names as where Jehoram is said to have married Athaliah the daughter of Ahab 2. Reg. 8.18 vers 26. 2 Reg. 8.18 yet in the 26. verse she is said to be the daughter of Omri and if she was the daughter of Omri how was she the daughter of Ahab It is answered that she was indeed the daughter of Ahab that was the son of Omri and she was the grand-child of Omri and according to the Hebrew manner of speech onely she was called the daughter of Omri for this was the customarie language among the Jews to call the Grandchildren the sons and daughters of their Grandfathers and to call brothers children brethren and this manner of speech is to be found most frequent in the holy Scriptures as where James Galat. 1.19 that was afterwards made Bishop of Hierusalem is called the brother of the Lord which made many men mistaking the Hebrew manner of speech to think that he was the son of Joseph by another wife when he was onely the Cousin-German of Christ being the son of Mary that was called Maria Jacobi Matth. 27.53 Mary the Mother of James and was the sister of the Virgin Mary And this difficulty of finding out the right Genealogie bred many doubts amongst the most learned Aug. tomo 6. l. 23. c. 3 4. cont Faustum manichaeum about the Genealogie of Christ himself for he was to come of the seed of David and of the tribe of Judah and as St. Augustine sheweth the Manichees stifly held that although Joseph descended from David yet Mary was the daughter of Joachim the Priest of the Tribe of Levi Luke 1.36 because St. Luke tells us plainly that Elizabeth the wife of Zacharias the Priest was her Cousin behold thy cousin Elizabeth To this Origen answereth That the Priests might marry wives out of any tribe that according to the common received opinion Mary was the lawful wife of Joseph according to the law and therefore of the tribe of Judah and Elizabeth was called her Cousin not in regard of tribe but of nation but I say that Elizabeth was her Cousin not onely by nation but also by tribe otherwise all the Jewish women might be called her Cousins as well as Elizabeth for Elizabeth was of the tribe of Judah though married to Zacharias the Priest of the tribe of Levi because it was lawful for the Priests to marry wives out of any tribe as Aaron married the daughter of Aminadab of the tribe of Judah Exod. 6.23 2 Chron. 22.11 and Jehoiada married Jehosabath the daughter of King Joram of the tribe of Judah and so Zacharie married Elizabeth of the tribe of Judah and to prove that Mary was of the tribe of Judah St. Luke makes it manifest because he saith that Joseph was the son of Heli that is his son in law the father of Mary his wife as Naomi calleth Ruth her daughter Ruth 1 22. Videtur Matthan pater fuisse Jacobi Alphaei Heli ex Jacobo Joseph ex Heli Maria descendisse Tremel in loc 3.23 because she was her daughter in law for otherwise St. Matthew tells us plainly that Jacob was the naturall father of Joseph and Heli which as St. Jerom thinketh had two names and was called Joachim and Heli was the natural father of Mary and the son of Matthan who was the father of Jacob the father of Joseph and of Heli the father of Mary and of Alphaeus that were three brethren all sons of Matthan as Tremelius saith And therefore also this requires a sedulous secrch to find out the truth of such Genealogies as are useful and necessary to be found out for the understanding of the right Line of the Messias that was to spring from the loins of David and from the tribe of Judah for though Titus 3.9 The Apostle speaks of needlesse Genealogies as the Apostle saith it is not requisite that all Genealogies should be looked after yet these and some others are very useful and necessary to be knwon and yet cannot be known without a great deal of care and search to find them out 5. The 〈◊〉 Chronologies of the ages and times therein specified 5. The Scripture Chronologies that in very man respects are most requisite for all sound Divines to know are more difficult to be understood and bred more doubts and brought forth more errors then the Genealogies have done as the weeks daies howrs and times specified in the prophesies of Ezechiel Daniel and the Revelation and as among the rest of the Chronologies where St. Steven saith that the children of Israel should so journ in a strange land and be evil intreated there 400. years and yet if you do rightly compute the times Acts 7.6 you shall find as Helvicus well observeth that from Jacobs going down into Egypt untill they were delivered by Moses they do scarce amount to 250. years 215. fust in the description of Canaan therefore it is answered that St. Steven meant not from Jacobs passage into Egypt to inhabit but from the time that Abraham went thither to sojourn and from that time to their deliverance out of Egypt it is just 400. years Genes 15.13 as the Lord had formerly

Christ which was the true substance and to be understood in and by those shadows and so for the Antichrist I sind no Prophesie concerning him in all the Book of Daniel but as he is typified in the person of Antiochus Epiphanes and you know that as Theologia Symbolica non est argumentativa symbolick divinity will not hold argument so types and figures non currunt quatuor pedibus do not hold correspondency in all things but only in such particulars whereunto they are applied and therein you shall find how the Antichrist is typified and declared unto us in the person and by the doings of Antiochus For The Prophet Daniel describing the four Beasts Dan. 7. that typified and signified the four great Monarchies of the world the Assyrian the Persian the Graecian and the Roman and the little horn that sprang up among the other ten horns saith the 10 horns are interpreted by the Holy Ghost to be ten Kings that is saith Tremellius 1. The 10 horns in Dan. 7. who they are Seleucus Nicanor 2. Antiochus Soter 3. Antiochus Theos 4. Seleucus Callinichus 5. Callinicus being expelled Ptolomeus Evergetes 6. Ptolomeus expelled Seleucus Ceraunus 7. Antiochus magnus that was surnamed Hyerax the Hawk for his speedy expedition of the greatest affairs and was the Father of Seleucus Philopater and of Antiochus Epiphanes 8. This Antiochus magnus being ejected Ptolomaeus Philopater 9. This Ptolomaeus Philopater being ejected by Antiochus magnus and his Sons Seleucus Philopater 10. This Seleucus being killed Antiochus Epiphanes that was the little horn that sprang up among the ten horns and was not another horn besides the ten horns but cornu ultimum the last of the ten horns and was at his first beginning but a very little horn indeed that had no right at all unto the Kingdom and is the most lively type of the Antichrist that is to be found in all the Scriptures both in respect of his entrance into his Dominion and of his dealings with the Jewish Church just as the Antichrist should enter into his rule and deal with the Church of the Christians And the Prophet tels us of this Antiochus and under his person of the Antichrist That 1. 1. The things that Daniel saith Antiochus should do As you see how he comes to his power and dominion by the suppression and destruction of others the lawful Kings so should the Antichrist do and we know many of the Popes came to that dignity and authority by the ejection and destruction of other Popes as the Histories do sufficiently declare unto us but whether the Long Parliament came to their rule and dominion by the expulsion and destruction of their lawful King I leave it for my Reader to judge And 2. 2. An opposer of Monarchy and very successful Dan. 7.24 The Prophet tels us that Antiochus shall be diverse from the first Kings that is as some Interpreters do expound it he shall be a grand enemy of regal Government and Kingly Majesty so will the Antichrist ex diametro contradict and oppose the Monarchical Government which the Pope never did but upholdeth the same to the uttermost and you know who turned the Regal Government of these Kingdoms to a Commonwealth or as Montanus reads that place ipse erit major prioribus he shall be greater than the former Kings that is in his successes in his victories in his reve●ues in his taxes in his absolute authoritie and in his esteem among his Neighbour-Kings and Princes so was Antiochus so the Antichrist will be So is not the Pope when as many former Popes were greater than this is in all the foresaid respects but whether the Long Parliament laid greater taxes upon the people and had more victories and better successes in their proceedings than many other former Kings 3. An overthrower of three Kings or Kingdoms let them be their own Judges 3. The Prophet saith this little horn that is this Antiochus Epiphanes tres reges humiliabit shall bring to the ground or humble three Kings as Montanus reads it Or tres reges deprimet he shall depress and overthrow or subdue three Kings as Tremellius translates it For he drave out of Syria 1. Ptolomaeus Philopater 2. His own eldest Brother Seleucus And 3. Demetrius the Son of Seleucus to whom the right of the Kingdom did appertain So the Antichrist shall overthrow three Kings saith Cornelius a Lapide And I did not read that any of the Popes have done so yet but I know who is said to have suppressed tres reges in uno rege and to have subdued three Kingdoms as some do expound these words and may well be the mystical meaning of this Prophesie 4. A great blasphemer 4. The Prophet goeth on and saith he shall speak great words against the most High that is saith Tremellius blasphemus erit in Deum he shall utter such blasphemies against the most high God as the Jews could not endure to hear them So the Antichrist should do saith the Evangelist Rev. 13.6 And so no doubt but many Popes have done Rev. 13.6 I will excuse none of them and I have shewed to you before and shall yet shew to you hereafter what intollerable blasphemies have been broached and are published in many places by the Sectaries adherents and off-spring of that Long Parliament which may therefore very well go hand in hand with Antiochus and with the Antichrist whosoever he be 5. 5. A destroyer of the Saints and Servants of God 2 Ma●h 7. The Prophet saith that this Antiochus Sanctos excelsorum deteret as Tremellius reads it i.e. saith he contumeliosissimus atrocissimus Tyrannus erit in populum Dei he shall be the bitterest and the cruellest Tyrant that ever was far worse than Pharaoh against the people of God And so the Books of the Maccabees and especially the cruel butchering and torturing of the Mother and her seven Children only because they would not eat swines flesh which the Law of God forbad them to do do sufficiently declare that neither the Aegyptian Pharaoh Dan. 7.25 nor the Chaldean Nebuchadnezzar nor any other forreign or domestick enemy was ever so bloody and so cruel unto the Jews as this Assyrian Antiochus was and our Bibles read it he shall wear out the Saints of the most High and so the Antichrist shall do And our Histories tell us the Popes have worn out and been the death and destruction of many of the Servants of God this cannot be denied and it grieves me much to think and it would grieve me much more to set down a Catalogue of what and how many worthy noble and faithful Servants of Christ have been worn out of these three Kingdoms within these few years 6. A changer of the Lawes and of the times by whom and by what meanes you know And I fear that when God maketh inquisition for bloud the Long Parliament will not be found guiltless 6. The Holy Ghost
