of the Protestants whom he knowes to be Father Sonne and Holy Ghost is the most vnciuill and euill-mannered God of all those who haue borne the names of gods vpō earth yea worse then Pan God of the Clownes which can indure no Ceremonies nor Good manners at all Reading these with diuers such like my bowels trembled within me and my zeale for the Lord was set on fire and I said vnto my Soule Spare no arrowes but shoot against Babylon for that shee hath sinned against the Lord And I say more againe Anathema Maran-atha to him whose zeale for the Lord is not with such blasphemies incensed and set on fire against the blasphemers I dare not once suspect that Royall Maiestie though the blasphemous Pamphlet be dedicated presumptuously to it or Parlalament-Excellency or Senate-Integrity of this Christian-State hath euer had any speciall notice or information of so blasphemous a Pamphlet formerly in time of Conniuency and yet still to the ioy of the Aduersaries and vnspeakable scandall of the Pious and Godly hunting vp and downe this Kingdome Arise O God and put into the knowledge and heart of our Soueraign to auenge such thy blasphemous Aduersaries and all their witting Abettors with deserued reproach Amen! Wee pray againe Arise O Lord and auenge thy owne Cause and as dust before the face of the wind so scatter thou the Enemies of thy Glorious name Amen Amen And so humbly praying the God of Truth to make you all perfect in the knowledge and loue of Truth I rest a reuerent Euer-admirer of your Admirable learning in Truth and humbly pray that wee all may bee zealous Euer-imitators of our Glorious and Angel-like Predecessours for the Reformation and constant defence of that Pietie and Truth The Testimony of IESVS Amen Yours and euery one of yours in the LORD IESVS Richard Sheldon A Sermon Preached at Pauls Crosse the first of September c. APOC. 14. 9. 10. 11. And the third Angell followed them with a lowd voyce saying If any man worship the Beast and his Image and receiue his marke in his forhead or in his hand The same shall drinke of the wine of Gods wrath which is powred out without mixture into the Cuppe of his indignation And he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy Angels and in presence of the Lambe And the smoke of their torments ascendeth vp for euer and euer THe words which I haue read in the eares of this most Christian and honourable Assemblie are an obscure partiall prophecie of that mysticall Booke which to vse Hieromes Epist ad Paulin phrase hath no more words then it hath mysteries How then shall I who am of a dull apprehension of a stammering speech and of a weake spirit bee able to lay open the sence of the same except the Lyon of the Tribe of Iuda giue me a spirit of courage confidence vnlesse the Lambe slaine which hath the seuen eyes that manifold light of knowledge impart vnto me some gratious measure of wisdome and vnderstanding O thou Gratious Lambe who scatterest of thy graces where thou pleasest illighten my vnderstanding that I may truely interpret this thy Scripture O thou Powerfull Lion of Iuda who openest no man shutteth open thou my mouth and set on fire mine affections that I may confidently and constantly with a lowd voice deliuer this thy truth to the glory of thy great name to the confusion of Antichrist and to the eternall comfort and consolation of our owne soules And the third Angell fellowed them with a lowd voyce saying If any man worship c. MY Text which in the whole is a most dreadfull Edict Diuision sent from the Court of heauen may be diuided into three Generall parts 1. an Inscription or Title And the third Angell followed them saying with a lowd voyce 2. Into an Hypothesis or Supposition If any man worship the Beast and the Image of the Beast and receaue his marke in his forhead and in his hand The 3. a most fearefull Threat and Denounciation the same shall drinke of the Wine of Gods wrath which is powred forth without mixture into the Cup of his indignation and hee shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in presence of the holy Angells and of the Lambe And the smoke of their torments ascendeth vp for euer and euer Thus our diuision And though for the auoiding of confusion and for breuity sake I doe onely thus in generall distinguish my Text into an Inscription a Supposition and a Denounciation yet if you shall be pleased to lend vnto me religious and attentiue eares you shall well obserue that in the prosecution thereof I shall lay open vnto you great secrets of highest consequence and necessitie prepare not your eares for any oratorious florishes for such from this and like places I for my part rather despise then honor or admire Wee begin with the Inscription And the third Angell followed them saying with a lowd voyce c. FOr Declaration hereof I prefixe certaine suppositions 1. Supposition First I suppose that which is most manifest according to the exposition of all to wit that this inscription doth present vnto our considerations an imaginary forevision of our Prophet foreseeing certaine zelous Preachers typed vnto vs Zealous Preachers typed by the 3. Angell by this third Angell who were with lowd constant and perspicuous voyces to denounce Gods fearefull iudgemēts against the adorers and worshippers of the Beast Secondly wee suppose a like manifest truth concerning 2. Supposition the circumstance of time that these zelous Preachers typed vnto vs by the third Angell were immediately to follow other Preachers Pastours represented vnto vs by other two Zealous Preachers ioyning hand in hand for reformation Angells described in the 6. and 7. precedent verses of this Chapter The summe is a certaine ranke of holy Preachers fore-typed vnto vs by these three Angels immediately following each other through the middest of Heauen that is publikely and manifestly were to ioyne hand in hand in the consormity of the Doctrines sounded out by the three Angells for the reformation of the world for the repaire of decaied Christianity and for the beating downe of all manner of Antichristian superstition and idolatry For the clearer opening of which truth of the last branch of this our second supposition I suppose In the third place that the Preachers which the Holy-Ghost 3. Su●p●sition doth represent vnto vs by these three Angells were not to appeare neere the daies of the Apostles in the time of the Primatiue Church nor for a long time after no they These zealous Preachers when they are to preach 2. Thess 2. were not to appeare vntill the Diuells being let loose the Antichristian state was to be reuealed and the mistery of iniquity by the breath of Christs mouth was by degrees to be dissolued a truth so manifest that there is no colour to gainsay it

A SERMON PREACHED AT PAVLES CROSSE LAYING OPEN THE BEAST and his MARKS Vpon the 14. of the Reuelations vers 9. 10. 11. By RICHARD SHELDON a Conuert from out of BABYLON Doctor in Diuinitie His Maiesties Chaplaine IEREM 50. 14. Put your selues in array against Babylon round about it all yee that bend the Bow shoot at her spare no Arrowes for shee hath sinned against the Lord. AT LONDON Printed by William Iones dwelling in Red-Crosse Street 1625. TO THE TRVLY REVEREND AND RELIGIOVS Doctors and Pastors of the Reformed Churches of Great Britaine and namely to Iohn D. Boys Deane of Canterbury Iohn D. Young Deane of Winchester Francis D. White Deane of Carlile and to William D. Kingsley Archd. and M. Iohn Sanford Prebend of Canterbury c. R. REVEREND YOu cannot but haue obserued how when in time of ignorance errour and transgression a Riddle was proposed in the Court of King Darius what of all things was greatest and strongest there were who stood for Wine some for Kings a third sort for Women but Zorobabel inlightened by the God of Truth gaue his verdict for Truth That Truth was of all things greatest and strongest Which his opinion if it were then applauded by the people approued by the Senators of State honored and rewarded by King Darius himselfe we who beleeue the manifestation of the Word-Truth and the illightning of the World by the Word of Truth may not maruell to obserue that Truth now in this last houre iustified of her own children sits Ouant and Triumphant not onely ouer Wine Women and Kings as they are in the common vsance of mankind but also ouer and against Wine Women and Kings as they are abused by that vsurping King of Kings Who sits in the Temple of God out-shewing himself as if he were a God who though by sly contempt of Coniugall Chastitie in his seduced Votaries seemes to pretend Virginall purity yet how vaine such his pretences haue beene the pennes of his owne haue euidently discouered though hee and his would be thought not to ouer-delight in any delicacies or delicious Wines yet in this respect precisely taken they doe carke and care for the flesh posting from all quarters and coasts delicacies and delicious viands and Wines for their Holy Father and his Purpurats yea prouiding for English Seminarists in Rome not plaine Romanisco the common and vsuall briskish Wine of Italy but Vino deripa Wine of the Bank fit to beget Spanish Iinnets must bee their cotidian liquor Though inwords he pretend himselfe to be Seruant of the Seruants of God yet Truth euinces him to assume vnto himselfe either directly or indirectly that is the lest an ouertopping Soueraigntie ouer all that is sacred and venerable The preuailing of Truth against this Man of vntruth hath not in any thing more euidently appeared then in a gracious precedent illustration of Truth before the powerfull and illustrious comming of the God of Truth whereby he who formerly by the Inhabitants of the Earth was admired and adored as a Vice-God a Vice-Christ is now by the consent of renowned Peoples by the approuance of sagest Peeres of States by opinion of iudicious Kings and Princes by censure of learnedest Clerkes in Christendome found to be the Apocalistticall Beast himselfe and their Pontificious Omnipotency and Burghesian Eternity to be naught else then the very top-crowne of Antichristianisme For the laying open and professing of this kind of Truth the Spirit of God who in the thickest of Egyptian darknesse did here and there in times past excite some Worthies hath in this last houre the third fourth and fifth Angells euen yet powring forth their Vialls Like as in other Churches others so in this renowned one of Great Brittain raised vp you an Armie of Valiants arightly ordered who with tongue and penne do happily and dexteriously without ceasing performe the same To which seruice it hath pleased him who brought me from out the Babilonian Vr to call me an vnworthy one and one farre lesse then so great and gracious a miseration wherein how farre and graciously the Spirit of Truth hath enabled me in this and my other writings I doe with all lowly reuerent and indifferent respect referre and remit to you all all Louers of Truth and to the thrice Reuerend and venerable Sees and Chayres of your learning the renowned Vniuersities of this I le I said with indifferent respect for although I may not account 〈◊〉 them Twins in euery respect alike yet in regard of that Light for the discerning betwixt Truth and falshood which they haue happily receiued from the God of Light I dare write them Semblable and Symbolizing O●bs illustrating this famous Church of Britaine yea emaning forth their illustrius Beames to the vtmost of the world And by how plentifull and liber all a hand he hath imbreathed of his Spirit into and hath powred of his dew of Hermon vpon the Head of the most Gracious Primat of England A thrice-worthy and best deseruing Patron of all Conuerts and vnder God the only Feeder of Me and Mine vnto the very skirts of the Garment it doth most linely appeare by many not wandring but fixed Starres seated and resplendant in this most illustrious Church of Great Britaine Amongst whom with speciall and deserued respect I haue presumed before this my Epistle to prefix the names of some by them speaking to you all From them from you all humbly desiring a fauourable and gracious countenancing both of Me and Mine in particalar of this my Argument of Truth and Ingenuity for following my Text closely I haue endeuoured such is your wont to open the genuine sense of the Holy Ghost therein contained in the prosecution whereof if some bitter and tart speeches against the Beast c. do occur from the Lord they are Secondly of duty for according to my bounden duty and seruice I haue herein endeauoured to blazon the deserued honor of my Soueraigne Lord and Master for his vndoubtable integrity in the thrice holy Religion he professeth which by some not peircing into the secrets of State may vnworthily haue bin questioned Thirdly of Sincerity for in regard of the sincerity of my conuersion from out of Babylon I dare boldly stile my selfe A Nathaniel in whom there is no guile Fourthly I said of Zeale for zeale against a certaine blaspheming Rabshaketh of the Beast hath brought forth this argument of zeale against the Beast and the obstinate Admirers and Adorers of the Beast It was my hap to receiue from the hands of a worthy Knight and his Lady a certaine blasphemous Pamphlet put into their hands by Seducers intitled A humble Appeale to his most Excellent Maiestie and written by one Iohn Hunt calling himselfe A Roman Catholike This blasphemous Rabshaketh I find in the sixt Chapter of his Pamphlet formally and vnauoydably I say
