perfect felicity This is chiefest of their ●rokēnes this is chiefest of their fornication and this is the iust iudgement of God that they which haue shut vp their eares from hearyng the truth should be deceiued with strong delusions that they myght beleue lyes Furthermore by the names of these vices the Angell comprehendeth all other vices that followe of them as intemperancy arrogancy impudency and such like as are woont to follow dronkennes and incontinence For these crimes go not vnaccompanied for wher either of them is commonly both will be they haue either of them and both together their trayne to wayte vpon them And all these we sée to haue ouerflowed in Rome the Westerne Babylon as she her selfe though she haue a brasen forehead and be past al shame cannot deny altogether And because of these so great and haynous enormities the iust sentence of God pronounced here by the Angel is come vpon her that she is now in her fall and decay as she was once in her ruffe and glory But this especially is to be noted that the Angell here saith that She should deceiue al nations with the fury of her fornicatiō For thys is the great vniuersallity that they make so great bragges of and would haue it to be a certaine Note and Marcke of the catholike church to be vniuersal Behold the Angel here saith in playne wordes that all nacions should drinke of the wyne of the fury of her fornication Wher is then the vniuersall consent and vnity of all nacions in religion that maketh a true religion And yet vniuersallity and vnity be two great pillers of the Church of Rome And for my part I do not enui her those marks which shee challengeth of vniuersallity and vnity although wee might stand in law with her for them but let her peaceably enioy them for they may helpe to proue her to be that false church of Antichrist but they cannot make her to be the true church of christ We see playnly that Babylon hath here vniuersallity and vnity for she maketh al nations to drinke of the furious wine of her fornication but the church of Christ as he himself saith is a smal flocke and him self by Symeon is said to be a signe of contradictiō a marke that is gaynsaid of most men And here also is answered one great mighty obiection wherwith they thinke to chekers That séeing the church of Christ is the Spouse of Christ how could it be that Christ should forsake his Spouse and suffer her to continue in damnable errours so many hundred yeares Why Christ him selfe declareth that the deceites and errors of false Prophets should be so great that if it were possible the very Elect should be deceiued Yea ther should be such a miserable dispersion that scarse two true Professors of his name should remayne together in one plac● and yet the holy hand of vnity should be in the head which is our sauiour Christ for wher soeuer the carc●sse is thether the Eagles would be gathered And S. Paule in manifest words declareth that the second comming of Christ should not bee before ther were a generall Apostasy that is a departure from the true faith religion of Christ and that the sonne of perdition Antichrist were openly shewed And ●n this Reuelation how often is it sayd that ●ntichrist should deceiue all the world all na●ions people and tonges and that the Church of Christ should be driuen into the wildernes ●ut of the sight of the world and ther remayns a space vntyll she should be brought agayne to light and open knowledge of all men As it is come to passe this day Gods name be therfore euerlastingly praysed But because I haue occupied long tyme I wyll draw to an end For by that I haue sayd I trust it doth sufficiently appeare that God according to his righteous iudgement hath determined vtterly to ouerthrow Babylon because shée hath deceiued all nacions wyth the wyne of the fury of her fornication And now it resteth onely that I speake a word or two of the voyce of the third Angell which is a consequent of this my text and serueth verye aptly for the conclusion of my Sermon The third Angell followed crying wyth a loude voyce and saying If any man shal worship the Beast or hys Image or receyue hy● marke on his forehead or in his hand or shal● acknowledge anye obedience or reuerence to him as willing to drinke of the cup of Babylon● fornication thesame shall drinke of the wyn● of the furye of Gods wrath whych is poure● forth vnmingled into the great cup of God anger and they shall be tormented wyth si● brymstone before the Lambe and his holy Angels and the smoke of their torments shal● ascend for euermore and they shall haue n● rest d●y nor nyght from extreme tormentes that worship the Beast or shew any reuerence vnto Antichrist The effect is in few wordes That horirible intollerable and eternall tormentes remayne for all them that now especially when Babylon is now discouered wyll haue any thing to do with her damnable errors and pernicious doctrine For howsoeuer ignorance before her fall though it were inexcuseable yet semed to diminish the greatnest of the crime Now that her wickednes is openly displaied no pretence can saue men from the extremity of Gods wrath if they wyl styll obstinately continue in her heresies Let vs therfore pray vnto almighty God instantly that al men in their vocation may seeke the vtter ouerthrow and destruction of Babylon that Princes and Magistrats may according to the prophecies of them hate her with a perfect hatred and vtterly abolysh what soeuer belongeth to her that they may reward her as she hath rewarded vs and geue her double punishment according to her workes and in the cup of affliction that she hath poured foorth for vs they may poure forth double as much to her And looke how muche she hath gloryfied her selfe and lyued in wattonnes which was without measure so much they may bestowe vpon her of sorrow and torments That Preachers and Ministers of Gods word may plainly and without dissimulation or halting discouer her wickednes earnestly to vrge whatsoeuer hath yet néede of perfect reformation That all Subiectes may continue in holye obedience first to GOD and then to theyr Prince to the aduauncyng of the honour and glory of GOD through IESVS CHRIST To whom wyth the holy Ghost be all honour glory power and dominion both nowe and euer AMEN The nu●●ring of Beastes name by Greeke ●●●ters 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Imprinted at London by Iohn Awdely dwellyng in lytle Bryttayne streete without Aldersgate 1571.
