in_o which_o the_o doctrine_n of_o babylon_n of_o long_a time_n have_v triumph_v and_o it_o be_v our_o part_n to_o pray_v that_o her_o credit_n may_v daily_o more_o &_o more_o decrease_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n may_v be_v perfect_o establish_v among_o we_o &_o the_o kingdom_n of_o antichrist_n may_v be_v overthrow_v even_o from_o the_o foundation_n that_o no_o superfluous_a relic_n of_o babylonical_a religion_n mai_fw-gr remain_v where_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o building_n but_o that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o babylon_n may_v fall_v altogether_o thus_o have_v i_o declare_v that_o babylon_n in_o wealth_n and_o substance_n in_o power_n &_o authority_n in_o credit_n &_o estimation_n of_o her_o doctrine_n be_v fall_v &_o that_o with_o out_o hope_v of_o recovery_n for_o her_o credit_n be_v crack_v not_o only_o among_o her_o enemy_n the_o protestant_n but_o even_o among_o her_o best_a friend_n and_o great_a archpapist_n for_o i_o suppose_v there_o be_v none_o in_o the_o world_n so_o blind_a so_o superstitious_a so_o devout_o addict_v in_o all_o point_n of_o popish_a idolatry_n and_o superstition_n as_o they_o be_v thirty_o or_o xl_o year_n past_a although_o they_o close_v their_o eye_n never_o so_o obstinate_o against_o the_o light_n of_o god_n word_n yet_o some_o effect_n of_o the_o beam_n of_o force_n will_v pierce_v even_o through_o their_o eye_n lid_n and_o that_o they_o themselves_o can_v dissemble_v although_o they_o will_v never_o so_o fain_o but_o that_o they_o have_v be_v deceive_v with_o gross_a error_n &_o shameful_a superstition_n their_o pardon_n their_o pilgrimage_n their_o legend_n who_o be_v now_o so_o blind_a that_o see_v not_o how_o the_o world_n have_v be_v seduce_v by_o they_o and_o the_o simplicity_n of_o the_o people_n abuse_v to_o satisfy_v their_o unsatiable_a covetousness_n as_o for_o the_o great_a patroness_n of_o popery_n that_o be_v learned_a they_o can_v deny_v but_o that_o great_a error_n have_v be_v receive_v &_o teach_v for_o truth_n yea_o the_o pope_n himself_o have_v acknowledge_v that_o many_o error_n have_v creep_v into_o the_o church_n yea_o even_o into_o the_o mass_n but_o the_o reformation_n of_o they_o pertain_v to_o he_o alone_o &_o the_o general_a council_n but_o what_o hope_v of_o reformation_n be_v to_o be_v look_v for_o at_o their_o hand_n let_v it_o be_v see_v in_o the_o decree_n of_o the_o last_o council_n of_o trent_n what_o little_a mouse_n those_o great_a mountain_n in_o so_o many_o year_n travail_n have_v bring_v forth_o in_o forty_o or_o fifty_o year_n consultation_n two_o great_a matter_n reform_v one_o for_o pardoners_n not_o to_o be_v common_a pedlar_n another_o for_o the_o communion_n in_o both_o kind_n to_o those_o that_o desire_v it_o so_o they_o confess_v it_o be_v as_o good_a in_o one_o kind_n and_o agree_v with_o they_o in_o all_o other_o point_n of_o popery_n yet_o all_o be_v not_o well_o they_o confess_v by_o their_o correction_n and_o as_o for_o the_o great_a pillar_n and_o proctor_n they_o have_v if_o they_o be_v press_v never_o acknowledge_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o as_o one_o that_o land_v late_o at_o yarmouth_n before_o witness_v of_o good_a credit_n restify_v that_o if_o he_o may_v be_v satisfise_v in_o two_o point_n concern_v you_o pope_n supremacy_n &_o the_o real_a presence_n for_o other_o matter_n he_o will_v not_o great_o strive_v so_o that_o i_o will_v conclude_v that_o babylon_n be_v fall_v in_o riches_n in_o power_n in_o credit_n of_o doctrine_n not_o only_o with_o protestant_n but_o even_o with_o papist_n themselves_o but_o now_o i_o know_v what_o will_v be_v object_v against_o i_o that_o i_o have_v travel_v all_o in_o vain_a to_o prove_v that_o babylon_n be_v fall_v &_o that_o babylon_n be_v rome_n and_o that_o i_o have_v abuse_v the_o text_n of_o scripture_n and_o sentence_n of_o old_a doctor_n to_o prove_v the_o ●ame_n for_o what_o soever_o be_v contain_v either_o in_o ●he_n scripture_n or_o in_o the_o write_n of_o the_o ancient_a doctor_n to_o prove_v that_o babylon_n be_v rome_n be_v to_o ●e_z understand_v of_o rome_n under_o the_o heathen_a em●erours_n &_o not_o under_o the_o pope_n and_o that_o all_o ●his_n while_o i_o have_v wrest_v the_o scripture_n &_o enforce_v the_o doctor_n to_o affirm_v that_o which_o they_o ●ever_v think_v of_o in_o deed_n i_o will_v confess_v the_o some_o prophecy_n contain_v in_o this_o revelation_n be_v fulfil_v in_o the_o heathen_a emperor_n &_o that_o the_o heathen_a empire_n be_v a_o introduction_n unto_o an●ichrist_n but_o that_o antichrist_n the_o great_a enemy_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n &_o which_o be_v principal_o call_v antichrist_n can_v not_o be_v any_o of_o the_o heathen_a emperor_n neither_o the_o state_n of_o the_o heathen_a monarchy_n i_o will_v make_v it_o manifest_a by_o plain_a demonstration_n and_o first_o i_o will_v retain_v this_o principle_n sufficient_o prove_v before_o that_o rome_n be_v the_o see_v of_o antichrist_n and_o that_o by_o authority_n of_o scripture_n and_o consent_n of_o ancient_a writer_n we_o can_v seek_v he_o no_o where_o but_o in_o the_o roman_a empire_n and_o now_o the_o controversy_n rest_v in_o this_o whether_o that_o heathen_a emperor_n or_o the_o pope_n we_o they_o first_o s._n paul_n in_o the_o second_o chap._n of_o the_o second_o epistle_n to_o the_o

that_o the_o heathen_a emperor_n do_v not_o sit_v in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n therefore_o that_o heathen_a emperor_n be_v not_o this_o antichrist_n and_o by_o that_o same_o reason_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o mahomet_n be_v not_o that_o especial_a antichrist_n because_o he_o sit_v without_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n as_o there_o be_v diverse_a that_o will_v have_v these_o thing_n to_o be_v understand_v of_o mahomet_n or_o ottomanus_n but_o it_o be_v as_o clear_a as_o the_o sun_n at_o noon_n day_n for_o as_o much_o as_o neither_o the_o heathen_a emperor_n nor_o mahomet_n nor_o ottomanus_n sit_v in_o the_o temple_n or_o church_n of_o god_n that_o none_o of_o they_o be_v that_o great_a antichrist_n o●_n who_o the_o prophecy_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v to_o be_v expound_v and_o where_o as_o some_o of_o they_o interpret_v the_o abomination_n of_o desolation_n whereof_o christ_n speak_v to_o be_v mean_v of_o antichrist_n or_o at_o least_o wise_a to_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o he_o that_o can_v be_v understand_v of_o the_o heathen_a emperor_n or_o any_o other_o that_o be_v without_o the_o church_n for_o that_o stand_v in_o the_o holy_a place_n which_o be_v the_o temple_n and_o signify_v the_o church_n now_o the_o pope_n sit_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n &_o boast_v himself_o to_o be_v god_n challenge_v to_o himself_o such_o authority_n as_o be_v proper_a only_a to_o god_n &_o usurp_v such_o honour_n as_o be_v peculiar_a only_o to_o god_n therefore_o not_o in_o the_o heathen_a emperor_n but_o in_o the_o pope_n be_v this_o prophecy_n accomplish_v another_o reason_n to_o prove_v y_fw-mi antichrist_n which_o in_o this_o revelation_n be_v foreshow_v to_o come_v into_o the_o world_n can_v be_v understand_v to_o be_v the_o heathen_a
