next Place you shall receive of her Plagues Death and Mourning and Famine c. Rev. 18.8 And these shall drink of the Wine of the Wrath of God which is poured out without Mixture into the Cup of his Indignation Rev. 14.9 10 11 12. The Motives and Incouragements I shall propound to the People of God to Come out of Mystical Babylon and to Seperate from the Church of Rome are these 1. You cannot come to Sion until you come out of Babylon Isa 35.10 And the Ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with Songs and everlasting joy upon their heads 2. You cannot worship God in Spirit and Truth unless you first seperate your selves from false Worship and Worshipers John 4.22 23 24. Ye worship ye know not what The true worshipers shall worship the Father in Spirit and Truth 3. You cannot enjoy Communion with God whilst you hold a Communion with Idols and Image-worshipers 2 Cor. 6.14 15 16 17. What Communion hath Light with Darkness And what agreement hath the Temple of God with Idols Wherefore Come out from among them and be ye Seperate saith the Lord. Consider whilst you continue in Babylon the Church of Rome you are under the Guidance of the Pope and Roman-Priests who are so far from being infallible Guides as they pretend that they are erroneous false and blind Leaders of the blind into Perdition The Roman-Priests are those false Teachers Seducers Deceivers which were foretold by the Apostles of Christ 2 Pet. 2.1 2. and 2 John 7. and 2 Tim. 3.13 and 1 Tim. 4.1 and 1 John 2.26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that Seduce you Therefore look to your selves saith the Apostle 2 John 8. vers Beloved saith he (a) 1 Epist of Joh. 4.1 2. c. Believe not every Spirit but try the Spirits whether they be of God for many false Prophets are gone out into the World You may do well to Consider also what Diversities and Divisions in Principles Opinions and Practices in Religion there are at this Time in the World especially among Teachers false Teachers who privately bring in Damnable Heresies And many follow their pernicious ways 2 Pet. 2.1.23 By Reason of whom the WAY of TRVTH is evil spoken of Now God hath in great Mercy unto the Souls of his People out of the exceeding Riches of his free Grace and marvelous loving Kindness towards them That they might not be led away with the Errors of the Wicked appointed them a threefold Guide which God hath plainly declared in the holy Scripture of Truth to direct lead and guide his People in the WAY of TRUTH until they come to Heaven namely 1. His holy Spirit 2. His written Word and 3. his faithful Ministers First God hath given his holy Spirit unto his People Gal. 4.6 To lead them Rom. 8.14 and guide them into all the Truth John 16.13 and to Teach them all things John 14.26 and 1 John 2.20 27. And least his People should be deceived deluded or seduced by Satan's transforming himself into an Angel of Light or by false Apostles deceitful workers who are his Ministers transforming themselves into the Ministers of Christ 2 Cor. 11.13 14 15. God hath Secondly given his People a Sure Word his written Word to Guide them Psalm 43.3 2 Pet. 1.14 Unto which they do well if they take heed as unto a Light that shineth in a dark place c. And thus God Councelled and Cautioned his People of old by his Prophet Isa 8.20 To the Law and to the Testimony If they speak not according to that Word it is because there is no Light in them And the Apostle testifies 2 Tim. 3.15 16 17. That all Scripture is given by Inspiration of God and is profitable for Doctrine and for Instruction in Righteousness c. And thirdly God hath also given his people able Ministers of the New-Testament not of the letter only but of the Spirit 2 Cor. 3.5 6. and Ephes 4.11 12 13. And he gave some Apostles and some Prophets and some Evangelists and some Pastors and Teachers for the work of the Ministry c. Heb. 13 7 17. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 c. And God Set them in his Church 1 Cor. 12.4 28. to be Guides unto his people b Heb. 13.7 17. Remember your Guides ver 7. Obey your Guides ver 17. And submit your selves for they watch for your Souls as they that must give account Will any godly wise Man or Woman judge in themselves that it is safe for them to forsake and refuse this threefold Sure Guide of the Spirit Word and Ministery of Christ Math. 24.4 5 11.23 24 25.21 Act. 20.29 30. 1 Tim. 4.1 2 3. 2 Tim. 4.3 4. 2 Pet. 2.1.2 3. 1 Joh. 4.1 2 3. which God hath ordained and to give up the conduct of their Souls unto the Church of Rome to be guided by her Laws Canons Councels Popes Cardinals Jesuites and the rest of the Roman-Clergy who are blind Guides and Anti-Christian Ministers and so to hazard their own eternal Salvation which false Teachers and their false and damnable Errours Doctrines and Practices our blessed Saviour and his holy Apostles have forewarned us of in the Scripture of Truth 2. A Call to the Kings of the Earth to hate the Whore to make her Desolate and to burn her with Fire MY Warrant to give this Call to the Kings of the Earth is that Prophecy Rev. 17.16 And the ten Horns which thou sawest upon the BEAST these shall hate the Whore and shall make her desolate and naked and shall eat her flesh and shall burn her with Fire The ten Horns are those ten Kings which had formerly agreed and given their Kingdom Power and Strength unto the Beast Rev. 17.12 13 17. until the Words of God shall be fulfilled These ten horns are the Europaean Kings of Italy Spain Germany France England c. who have formerly submitted themselves and their Kingdoms unto the BEAST the Popes of Rome and to the Church of Rome that great Whore and Mother of Harlots As was here fore Prophesyed and as all Historians have testified But it is the Revealed Will of God recorded in the Scripture of Truth That the ten Horns shall hate the Whore c. And upon this Scripture Ground I take this humble boldness to give this CALL unto the Kings of the Europaean World to hate the Whore c. And the Reasons which I shall humbly Propose to them are these viz. 1. Because it is the Revealed Will of God that they should so do in this very Scripture Rev. 17.16 and They shall do so 2. Because the great Whore the Church of Rome hath given her golden Cup full of Abomination and filthiness of her Fornication into the Hands of the Kings of the Earth and caused them to drink and they and the Inhabitants of the Earth have been made drunk with the Wine of HER Fornication Rev. 17.1.2 4. 3. Because SHE the Church of Rome hath Raigned over the Kings of the Earth Rev. 17.18 Deposing Emperours and Kings putting down one and setting up another at the Pope's Pleasure who is HER Head Lord and Law-giver as hath been proved pag. 3.10 11. of this Treatise and appears (a) Century 8.

Because SHE hath shed the blood of the Prophets Saints and Martyrs of Jesus Rev. 16 6 7. and 17.6 and 18.24 Therefore Reward her even as she Rewarded you and double to her double according to her Work Rev. 18.1 2 3 5 6 7 8 20 21-24 And of all the Nations in Europe no Kings or Kingdoms have more just Cause to hate and to be Avenged on Mysterie Babylon the great the Mother of Harlots that great WHORE the Church of Rome and her Head the Pope that BEAST and the Roman-Priests the false Prophet than this our Nation King and Kingdom If his Royal Majestie and his great Council Assembled in Parliament seriously consider all the Papists former Plots and Conspiracies against the Kings and Kingnom of England but most especially this late bloody traiterous design of Popish Recusants even this damnable and Hellish Plot (b) The Votes of the House of Commons approved by the Lords in a Conference Novemb. 1. 1678. contrived and still carrying on by them to Assassinate the King to subvert the Government and to Root out the Protestant Religion and all the Protestants in England All which I most humbly submit to the Wisdom of the King's Majestie and his great Council when Assembled in Parliament for whom I daily pray FINIS

Bohemicos sub Felice Papâ pag 1447. saith The Pope may Change the holy Gospel and may give to the Gospel according to the place and time another Sense Michael Medina Gratian Abb. Panorm Felinus and all the Roman Priests assert and Teach The Pope may dispence against jus divinum and against the New Testament and thereby deceiving and seducing them are become the false Prophet like Thyatira's Jezabel Rev. 2.20 which called her self a Prophetess viz. The false Prophets in that Church who taught and seduced the people of God to commit Fornication so the Roman Priests do teach them that worship the Beast and his Image to worship Saints deceased yea to worship Idols Crosses Crucifixes and Images which the Church of Rome hath set up and Commanded to be Adored and Worshiped especially their breaden God and Sacrilegious Host teaching the People and Seducing them to Believe That the self same Body of our Lord Jesus Christ who was once in the fulness of Time and but once made of a Woman Gal. 4.4 by the Power of God is every Sacrament Day made of a Wafer by the power of a Romish Priest By all which and by several other false Doctrines it is plain and evident to those that have understanding in the holy Scriptures of Truth That the Roman-Priests are the false Prophet meant and intended by Christ Rev. 13 14. and 16.13 and 19 20. As for their Doctrines of Purgatory Pennances Pardons and many other false Doctrines taught by the Roman-Priests I pass by as not worth mentioning Having thus far unvailed Mystical-Babylon that is Rome-papal I shall now proceed to Call the People of God to come out of Babylon fand to forsake Papal Rome to Renounce the Church o Rome as the great Whore and Mother of Harlots to Deny the Popes Imperial and Pontifical Supremacy as the Beast with his two horns like a Lamb and not to hear nor hearken unto the Roman-Priest that false Prophet which teach the false Doctriness of the Church of Rome and Seduce the Servants of God And this Call I give the People of God especially in England in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ A Call to all the People of God to come out of Babylon REvel 18.4 And I heard another voice from Heaven saying Come out of HER my People That ye be not Partakers of her Sins And that ye receive not of her Plagues This Call is the Call of God our Saviour unto all his People in Mystical Babylon Papal-Rome to come out of HER. Come out of her my People which Call of Christ was given by an audible voice And I heard another voice from Heaven saying c. And this Call from Heaven is urged and enforced upon the People of God by two Cogent Arguments or Reasons 1. That ye be not partakers of HER Sins 2. That ye receive not of her Plagues Two things in this Call need Explanation 1. What this voice was 2. What it is to come out of HER To both these I shall speak briefly and then proceed to speak more largely of this Call First This voice hath Heaven's Authority It was from Heaven to wit the voice of Christ in the Ministry of the Gospel ordinarily and by the powerful Efficacy of the holy Spirit also 1 Thes 1.5 For our Gospel came not unto you in Word only but also in Power and in the holy Spirit and in much assurance So had the voice of the Angels of God by whom Christ then Spake unto his Servant John Rev. 14.6 13. with a loud voice ver 7. which St. John heard from Heaven ver 13. And so have the voice of the faithful Ministers of God by whom Christ also now speaks unto his People Luke 10.16 He that heareth you heareth me c. to wit Heavens Authority Secondly To come out of HER is to Seperate themselves from the Church of Rome which is now become a false Church called the great Whore and Mother of Harlots 2 Cor. 6.14 18. ver 17. Wherefore Come out from among them and be ye Seperate saith the Lord. The Lord Jesus Christ would have his People to be Seperated under the Gospel from the unbelieving Jews and their false worship which Christ calleth vain worship Matth. 15.8.9 And St. Paul did Seperate the Disciples from the Jewish Synagogue of unbelievers Acts 19.8 9. And also from Idolatrous Gentiles that worship Images as the Church of Rome doth and from their Idol-Temples Churches and Chappels For the Gentile Papists and Church of Rome their Pope Cardinals Jesuits and all the Roman-Priests do tread under foot the holy City Rev. 11.2 Jerusalem viz. the Church and People of God 2 Cor. 6.16 17. What agreement hath the Temple of God with Idols For ye are the Temple of the living God as God hath said Levit. 20.24.26 and 26.12 I will dwell among them and walk among them And I will be their God and they shall be my People wherefore Come out from among them and be ye seperated saith the Lord and touch not the unclean Thing c. The Papists Images Crosses Crucifixes their Consecrated Wafers holy Waters and Saints Pictures the Image of the Virgin-Mary and of our Saviour upon the Cross unto which Images the Papish Priests and people fall down and worship yea their Ave Maria and prayers to Saints deceased all their holy Bells Beads Prayer-Books and Candles c. are all as an unclean thing and ought to be seperated from and not touched by the People of God whom Christ calls upon with a loud voice to come out from among them These two particulars explained the Argument which Christ urgeth to inforce this his Call unto his People followeth That ye be not Partakers of HER Sins and that ye receive not of HER Plagues As if Christ had said I do by the voice of my faithful Ministers Call and Command you my People to Come out of Mystical Babylon Papal-Rome and to Separate your selves from the Church of Rome which is fallen is fallen from her Apostolical Purity in Doctrine Worship and Discipline or Ecclesiastical Government and is become an Harlot a false Church the great Whore the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth The Synagogue of Satan the Habitation of Devils the Hold of every foul Spirit and a Cage of every unclean and hateful Bird. But if you my People as if Christ had said will not obey my voice nor hear my Call If you will not come out from the Church of Rome and seperate your selves from the Papists and leave going to and worshiping in their Popish Temples Churches Chappels and private Cloysters Nunneries Priories Religious Houses Meeting-places and holy Roods of Auricular Confession c. then in the first Place you will be Partakers of their Sins that is you will become guilty of their Will-worship and spiritual Fornication Rev. 17.2 of their Idolatries Adulteries Thefts Murders c. Rev. 9.20 21. And of their Impenitency added unto their Iniquities And in the
