cause_n why_o the_o church_n require_v chastity_n in_o the_o clergy_n and_o annot._n forbid_v not_o only_a fornication_n but_o all_o carnal_a copulation_n even_o in_o lawful_a wedlock_n be_v to_o

church_n of_o rome_n be_v mystery_n babylon_n therefore_o she_o be_v not_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n the_o eight_o reason_n maintain_v 1._o i_o know_v that_o general_o all_o that_o dissent_v from_o rome_n do_v account_v she_o as_o in_o her_o present_a state_n to_o be_v mystery_n babylon_n and_o true_o for_o my_o part_n i_o have_v consider_v of_o this_o matter_n and_o i_o find_v it_o be_v so_o clear_o mean_v of_o rome_n that_o even_o the_o papist_n do_v not_o whole_o exempt_v she_o from_o this_o name_n yet_o they_o deny_v that_o rome_n as_o now_o consider_v be_v mystery_n babylon_n only_o say_v they_o it_o be_v to_o be_v refer_v to_o rome_n in_o her_o heathenish_a estate_n but_o thus_o i_o reason_n 2._o if_o the_o present_a papal_a church_n of_o rome_n be_v not_o mystery_n babylon_n then_o either_o the_o papist_n or_o some_o body_n else_o can_v show_v we_o a_o people_n which_o better_o deserve_v that_o title_n but_o this_o no_o man_n can_v do_v so_o far_o as_o yet_o i_o have_v learn_v and_o therefore_o as_o yet_o i_o must_v say_v the_o present_a papal_a church_n of_o rome_n together_o with_o her_o daughter_n church_n be_v mystery_n babylon_n and_o for_o further_a proof_n in_o this_o point_n i_o thus_o reason_n 3._o the_o present_a papal_a church_n have_v the_o mark_n of_o mystery_n babylon_n therefore_o she_o be_v mystery_n babylon_n i_o prove_v it_o thus_o one_o mark_n of_o mystery_n babylon_n be_v a_o regiment_n over_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n rev._n 17._o the_o woman_n which_o thou_o see_v be_v that_o great_a city_n which_o reign_v over_o the_o

empress_n etc._n etc._n another_o mark_n of_o mystery_n babylon_n be_v great_a riches_n and_o worldly_a pomp._n that_o rome_n in_o her_o present_a church-state_n have_v this_o mark_n her_o doctor_n

of_o the_o reach_n of_o the_o best_a arithmaticks_n to_o pass_v a_o entrado_n upon_o it_o add_v to_o all_o other_o witness_n that_o of_o expeperience_n and_o it_o will_v show_v we_o that_o when_o their_o church_n have_v her_o domination_n in_o this_o land_n they_o know_v where_o the_o best_a ground_n lay_v as_o the_o ruin_n of_o their_o abbey_n do_v evince_v compare_v all_o these_o with_o rev._n 18._o and_o see_v if_o they_o do_v not_o agree_v another_o mark_n of_o mystery_n babylon_n be_v she_o sit_v upon_o nation_n tongue_n and_o peoples_n rome_n have_v this_o mark_n t._n b._n in_o

church_n of_o rome_n have_v this_o mark_n i_o need_v only_o to_o refer_v my_o reader_n to_o those_o large_a history_n of_o sleidan_n fox_n and_o benzo_n the_o italian_a last_o as_o i_o note_v it_o
