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.

Transubstantiation The Doctrine is Damnable For the Church of Rome teacheth her Children the Papists to believe in to fall down unto and to worship a breaden-God which their Priests have made an Idol with Solemn and Sacred Adoration And the Practice is also damnable For the Papists eating that Bread with a firm Belief that it is not Bread but the Body of Christ do eat that Bread and drink that Cup unworthily and so eat and drink their own damnation 1 Cor. 11.29 Secondly It appears that the Church of Rome is the great Whore Because She is become the Mother of Harlots (k) Prid. de mille annis Apoc Lect. 13.
