Come, and see.  
A CONSENT of Scripture, by H: BROUGHTON.    

TO THE MOST HIGH AND MIGHTY PRINCE ELISABET, BY THE GRACE OF GOD, QUEEN OF England, France, and Ireland, defender of the faith. etc.  
THE whole Book of GOD (most gracious Sovereign) hath so great an harmony, that every part of it may be known to breath from one Spirit. All soundeth the same point: that by CHRIST the son eternal, we are made heirs of life: whom they that know not, abide always in wrath. Prophecies in every age, the first larger, the later narrower, all briefly told, all for event fully recorded: these show the constancy of this truth. The like revolutions are of Abraham, jacob and his children together, of Sems' house: & again to japheths' sons, and all families: wherein the former be stamps of the later: so that in one speech, an other thing also is spoken. These show the eye of JEHOVAH, and his spirit. The kindreds, places, and times, the lights of narrations, are registered so profitably: that it should be a blasphemy to affirm any one to be idle. Our LORD his Fathers are recorded from Adam, by David and Nathan, to his Grandfather Ely: likewise they, after whom he is heir to the kingdom of David, salomon's line so long as it continued: and afterwards they who from Nathan were heirs to salomon's house. So other Families, who came all of one, as from them all come: they by Moses and the Prophets be plentifully expressed. In like sort the places of their dwellings are clearly taught. The course of time is most certainly observed: even to the fullness, the year of salvation, wherein our Lord died. Of which time the very hour was foretold by an Angel, not seven years before, but seventy times seven years. Dan 9 24. To this all, other hebrews and profane Greeks, bear witness strongly against themselves. These helps be stars in the Story. The frame of all this, with coupling of joints and proportion of body, will much allure to study, when it is seen how about one work all Families, Countries, and Ages, build or pull down: and find the kindness or severity of God. For this work I endeavoured, to call ancient hebrews and Greeks, to further the building of justice and peace, to come from Salem and Athens, to these ends of the earth, the possession of Christ: to speak in England the tongue of Eber and javan. This my pains, I humbly present to your Majesty.  
Your majesties Subject, HUGH BROUGHTON.   

To the Reader.  
FOR the better understanding of DANIEL, who mentioneth large Kingdoms, and pictureth them: this Table of the North part will give some light: which showeth where NO his' sons dwelled, by the notes which you see at them. Those Families give names to great Realms, and are found in Greek Heathen writers: placed of them as in this Table. The Kings which DANIEL speaketh of are joined to their pictures. A short Chronicle is added: but the brevity will require diligence. A. B. C. D, printed in the Pictures, are expounded over the Bear, and placed in the Chronicle over the tree.

THE holy writers have a perfect consent, 
The sum of the Scripture. john. 17.  in their doctrine of life eternal: which as from one mouth teach, how that standeth in knowing the true GOD, who is but one; and the sending of JESUS CHRIST. All Families were hereby to look for grace, in all Countries and Ages. Some special the holy Writers do mention, 
The old world, & the world now.  for the old world, and the world now. Ten of the first are Fathers, not only to our LORD, but to all Nations. They were all faithful, and should move their Children to bear in their breasts urim and THUMMIM, Faith and love. They had Abel an ensample of being faithful unto death for Christ, to find an eternal crown of life. Cain and his house warned them of their corruption, taken from Parents, that they should look for regeneration. 
job. 22, 16. 1. Pet. 3, 19  The destruction of the men that delighted in Cain's ways, whose bodies wrinkled by the deluge, whose spirits are in prison: These show that the eternal spirit of Christ, hath in long patience a ●ust kingly anger. Of this old World, the Writers old and new, teach the same. Their places are little mentioned: but 
§ Our Father's ages. The beginning of Genesis is fitted to the capacity of children.  our Father's ages are wonderfully laid down by the heavenly Father, teaching us as babes be taught. Thrice they are reckoned: how old they were when they begat their son: how long they lived after: and how much those two numbers make. This showeth that the Story is penned for the simple and children. The sundry comparisons will occupy the wisest. The old Families of the world now, are set forth sufficiently. 
‡ Sem keepeth a name until Christ Luk. 3.  Sem keepeth in one line a name until he cometh, who is blessed for ever: whose name none knoweth but him 
† Apo. 19, 12.  self. 
* Gen. 9 Babel.  Unto Sem and his blessing all his Families, japheths and Cham's were to look: they soon turned aside. For, building BABEL to make themselves a Shem or name, despising SEM, they found a Shame. Their tongues became seventy of one: their dwellings were parted accordingly: their whole state was a Confusion, and they perished for ever, that repaired not to Sem's Tents. The first Families Moses nameth, and their places: which the Prophets describe where they dwelled, by their merchandise, 
Virgil Geor I 〈…〉 under Assur & Catrim are comprehended the general oppressors: and the Churches chief stories are in the lov● & high jerussalem.  as to Tyrus Eze. 27. or by their Wars. The Heathen kept still a memory of these first points, but full of fables. Coeum and japet, they bear in mind, whom they call the sons of the earth: Sem they forgot, and all above. The Families scattered from Babel, left their names upon their Countries, which yet abide in Greek writers. Their wars general against the faithful, Moses prophesied, under Assur, and Cittim. The Prophets and Apostles record what fell out. City's here, chief two for name are to be marked: the low JERUSALEM, (which the faithful still held, or looked to hold, until the LORD came) and the high JERUSALEM built by the GOSPEL every where, which Cittim or Italy, that destroyed the low, should labour always to besiege, till GOD sends his enemies a final destruction. The course of times with the Lord his nation was truly kept of the faithful and faithless. From the creation to Abraham's promise: thence to the coming from Egypt, to the foundation of salomon's Temple, to the Captivity & burning of the Temple, to the return to build it: 
‖ The generatie is in Math, 〈◊〉 and Luke 3. for the 490 year. Dan. 9 shake the Greeks account, who overreach 100 〈◊〉.  and thence to the death of our Lord. For every partition of these times, ancient consent of Hebrews and Greeks may be brought. I will labour to set forth all these points briefly, from the beginning, following the order of time measured by Stories of our Lord his kindred. The places of ancient dwellings shallbe joined in one Map, of the north part, when Cham's house, Sem's, and japheths, all three in Daniel fight with the ancient kingdoms against the blessed of Sem and kingdom of Christ. That Map was to be larger in breadeth then the quantity of this Book. 
One Map was to be made of the oldest names: & an other with later names of dwe●lers. The Romans are not in the Image Dan. 2. or beast. Da. 7.  In it Pictures are graven, only of the tyrannous kingdoms that Daniel speaketh of, who are consumed by the birth of our Lord, whereof the Romans are no part. For all the Image, and fourth Beast was to perish before the incarnation of Christ. jews do conclude against us, against truth, and their own salvation upon that our error. Doubtless Rome in the end reviveth their impiety, following their manners very near: whereby many have thought daniel's Prophecy to blame the Romans. For plainness and distinction herein, I will in a Map of an other quantity set down Rome, and some other later names of Countries, with some ancient, as the story shall require: and compare also by most lively Pictures out of Scripture, the Romans with daniel's Kingdoms. This whole View I call A CONSENT OF SCRIPTURE, because it would show that. Through the book are other Titles touching time & person, for the present matter. And whereas I often compare briefly, later writers with former: to show the Reader how he himself may do that more at large: I lay down first in this Preface a table of the jew, showing how they read the Prophets. Pharisees they are at this day, who keep a record of this: and of the Pharisees of old, 
Math. 23, 2.  for this much the Lord gave a testimony that they sat in the Chair of Moses. Elias in Thishi in the word PETARAH, recordeth this occasion, to have been the beginning of Petaroth: that when Antiochus Epiphanes forbade to read MOSES law (
* Isaac been Arama. fol 2 b  which was the parted into so many 
‖ Those sections they call Petaroth expositions. Directions for the Reader.  Sections, as be sabbaths in an year.) In stead of Moses they chose a part of some Prophet like unto it: which custom of reading they kept still, after their liberty restored to use Moses and his ceremonies freely. Before you come to that Table, I will here give direction for the reading of this Book, touching the two Tables containing the Father's ages, and certain other points. The number under the Father showeth what his age was when the Son set in that line was borne. The other numbers show his age at the nephews birth over against it: or at the issue of the matter, noted in that line. Afterwards you have sundry titles of their times parted: as Promise, Egypt, Temple, Division, Captivity, sevens, whereupon the chief knots stand. Also the times are noted by our lords birth, 
Manifest faults as Luke for Mat. Asa for Achaz, and such, many the Readers gentlens must amend.  by the age of the World, and sundry particular men, which the Reader may know in marking what man famous in Story is against the first number. Moreover, touching the Column, understand that you shallbe often to mark by the matter, that the sayings depend not upon the next above them, but upon those that be on the other Column overagainst them. A mark you have to note an uncertaynetie in the time of some Stories, that touch not Chronicle: this is the form of it. ‡ as in Hezron: but there the Corrector was deceived, who placed his birth near josephes' death, though he was borne before jacob came to Egypt. Other notes touching times, two of one kind show, either that the Narration is driven from the due time: and should look to the mark of the same form: or compareth one kings reign with an others, as you oft shall find in judah & Israel. Testimonies I cite short: and in one clause drawn from sundry, I name but one Author, when about that place I had named some other, for most of the matter there laid down. The common Latin translation, whose soever it is, I named it as the Title goeth, jerom. Abbreviations chief be these. b. for borne, d. for dieth, y. for years. Once faulty C. for Ch. Christ's. For other names, Antiochus Epimanes, and Epiphanes, Appian Archelaus, Artaxact, Athenaeus, Carthusianus, Clemens Alexandrinus in Stromatibus, Cedrenus, Dio. for Dionysius, Hal●carnasseus, Diodorus Siculus, Hystaspis, Elias Levita, Epiphanius, Eusebius, Florus, Herodotus, Homer, Iliads Horace, Jerome, josephus, Ireneus, justin the historiographer, Juvenal, Massecheth, once faulty for Halacoth in Maymony, Nazianzenus, Pausanias, Plato, Plutarch, Polybius, Ptolemy in Almagesto, Rabbi Abraham, Sadaias, Strabo, Thucydides, Tully, Valerius maximus, Virgil, these be the most names, noted by abbreviations: other words shortly named, by the matter may be guessed at, or be so common, that every one knoweth them.  
Now I will return to speak of the ancient manner of reading Moses and the Prophets. S. james showeth Acts 15, 21. that Moses was of old time read in the Synagogue in every City every Sabbath, Maymony writeth of that in Volume I. Birchath Cohenim from Cham 12. that Moses ordained that custom: and that Ezra renewed it after the return: and that in his time, 
The Rabbins commonly make Ezra the author of the Petarothes distinctions: not agreeing with Elias Levita.  (long before Antioch Epiphanes) Lectiones of the Prophets were by him chosen out, agreeable in number and matter to the Lectiones in Moses. They beganin the Feast of Tabernacles, and in a year finished all. After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, they that would, having leave of the ruler of the synagogue, spoke upon those Scriptures. That we see was retained Act. 13, 15. I have set down their Sectiones, and Lectiones, as they part Moses, and have put forth their Petaroth at Venice by Bombergius in one Book.

The jew that readeth the Section now in the jews synagogue, beginneth with praising GOD, who chose Moses and the Prophets, and delighteth in their most true words: likewise endeth praising GOD, who speaketh and performeth: saith and stablisheth: so that no one word faileth. Then he prayeth for ELIAS to come, and for the kingdom of DAVID in CHRIST. If the caitiffs would read Mel●●hies last end, and first oration of the new Testament, and try all the new Testament with the old, the Gospel with Moses, the Acts with the Kings, and the Apocalypse with all, they might see how ELIAS, and that kingdom of DAVID is come: And see that the perfourmawce which they extol, is not clear, without the new Testament. And for an exposition of all their expositions, may they use the oration of the Angel delivered at their delivery from Babylon: Which I will translate agreeably to the Hebrew, that the Reader may see that, plainly at the first, to which through this Book he must have recourse. Dan 9 24.  
seventy SEAVENS (of years) are cut out, for thy people, & for thy holy City: to consume wickedness, and to abolish sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring righteousness everlasting, and to seal Vision and Prophet, and to show CHRIST the HOLY of HOLY. Know then and mark: from the outgoing of the word, to return and to build jerusalem, unto CHRIST the governor, shallbe seven sevens (of years) and sixty and two sevens: in th' other it shallbe restored and builded, Street and Wall: and troublous shall these times be. In that after the sixty & two sevens CHRIST shallbe killed: and not for himself: thereupon the City and holy place shall be destroy, the GOVERNORS' own people to come: and their end shallbe with a Flood: and at the end of war, it shall have a final judgement to desolation. But he shall confirm the Testament for many the last Seven: when in HALF THAT SEVEN he shall end the Sacrifice and Oblation. Afterwards by an Army abominable he shall make a desolation: even till utter destruction and final judgement flow upon the desolate. And this much for the Preface.   

A Consent of Scripture.  
THe heavenly Consent of holy Writers, who have penned for us the book of Truth, is needful to be known for to strengthen our Faith, that we may see a constant agreement in several ages, 
Ebr. 1, 1.  for matters often told in divers parts and manner. Touching that, I labour in this Book to lay down certain principal heads drawn through the whole body of Scripture. The beginning ought to be from him who is A and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉, 
Apoc. 1, 8.  the beginning and the end: who filleth all with his goodness. Thereof this is a true saying, and found entertainment of all the faith full that GOD is one, and there is none but he. Of this, that is graven on the Gate of that first and great Commandment: 
* Deut 6, 4. Mark. 12, 29.  Hear ISRAFL, JEHOVAH, our GOD JEHOVAH, is one. Whom if we love with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength: and hold them happy whose 
☽ Psal. 33, 12.  God JEHOVAH is, we must learn to know him aright. The name JEHOVAH importeth BEING, which the Eternal saith is his name.

§ Ramban the Cabalist noteth that Christ is called jehovah, upon Gen. 34. from jer. 23 6. and 33, 16.  JEHOVAH, as john Cham 12, 41. expoundeth Esay. 6, 9 The holy Ghost is

c 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉  (I, AM) are of the same force. Though men's blind hearts can not thus know God: The Scriptures are manifest, that teach the Trinity, and the holy Tongues of all ages so spoke of God. Most plainly is that showed in the beginning & end of our Lord his preaching. Mat. 3 1. & 28, 19 For that purpose God giveth himself a named ELOHIM: which is in meaning MIGHTY, 
† The form plural in Elohim is rightly noted of many learned in Ebrew, to import the divine people, That should not have been blamed of others.  in form plural, as grammarians speak: which as Profane men speak it, by frame of language soundeth GODS. God would never so speak of himself, unless he would have us to consider thereby the divine persons. For the form were dangerous, if necessity required not knowledge of distinct divine persons. The enemies grant a mystery in that form, with attributes plural: Aben Ezra upon Psal. 11. who also citeth R. japhath, there.  
This name hath also a form singular 
e 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉  ELOAH, & a shorter 
f 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉  EL. These forms singular are fit to teach, of the unity of Godhead: and likewise the other when the attributes speak of one, as ELOHIM, (GOD) he created. But to manifest distinct persons often do the terms joined speak in the number of many, as if I should say THEY God.

Ebr. 11, 6.  and that he regardeth all them, that feeke him in spir●● and truth: who is a spirit eternal, infinite, holy, just, and merciful. Unsearchable are his judgements: 
john. 4, 24. Rom. 11, 33. Deut. 29, 29. Ephes. 2, 4. Act. 15, 18. Exo. 20.  but the open things are for us. GOD hath chosen us in CHRIST, before the world was made: and of eternity knew all his own works. In six days God made all creatures, Man last, and gave them a commandment: which how soon they broke Moses turneth to tell after mention of the Sabbath. The Lord rested the seventh day from creating, and appointed that day for holy rest: which the Fathers observed before Moses.  
Now the man and his wife were both naked, & were not ashamed.

Over them God gave his Angel's charge: but some Angels stood not in the truth, nor kept their standing, but fell as Starre● from heaven, and became an enemious company, and staunderers of God. In Hebrew Satan, & in the Grake devils. Of beasts the Serpent was subtlest: into whom Satan entered: spoke to the woman against God, and his commandment: persuaded her, who drew the man also to break the commandment. Then they both became dead in sin. So from the beginning, as soon as man was, Satan was a liar and a murderer: and therefore marvel not that the wrath of God is so vehement upon ADAM through all his generation:, because quickly sin was committed to the extremity. The circumstances show the spedines of it. Satan would omit no time: the woman if she had been practised better would not so soon have erred: their speech showeth that no Fruit had been eaten before. Doubtless the woman fell a Virgin: and if they had stood but a short time, the blessing of God had not been in vain for propagation. Above all reasons this must be considered, that the Redemption was to be showed presently upon the Creation. For that is the fittest to move men to hold it: and God omitteth nothing that best helpeth to that. This should move all men to put no trust in themselves: for that 
* That in Psal. 49, 20. is holden of Clem. R. Nathan, R. Menachem, and Midrad Tillin, to be spoken of Adam.  Adam having once justice, and true holiness, did not lodge one night in honour, but became like the Beasts that perish. And the light that shineth in darkness, moved men of all religions to hold this. For this opinion hath been every where received, that they fell the day of their creation. So the jews generally hold. I heard never of one that was of an other judgement: and yet many of them see not how fitly they say, for the Redemption by the second Adam. The Heathen

Thereupon Adam nameth the Woman LIFE: seeying how she redeemed from death should be the mother of Children that by CHRIST might live for ever. The affections of Children to their Mothers should move them to know the truth of this point. I will once again in fit place repeat this: and hence to Christ his death will by years express the direct state of the World, repeating these last poyntes● of the speedy fall, and comfortable Redemption.

 who not only make two Tribes, 
 whereby they had officers double, 
 and authority according: but also 
 increased so in number, that Ephraim 
 overmatched sun whole

 with this jacobs' speech, the

BY faith Moses, when he 
 was come to age, refused 
 to be called the son of 
 Pharaohs daughter, & chose 
 rather to suffer adversity 
 with the people of God, 
 them to enjoy the pleasures 
 of fin for a season, esteeming 
 the rebuke of Christ

 choosing strange Gods. Therefore 
 shortly the Lord sold them into 
 the hand of jabin King of Canaan: 
 that the servant of servants 
 should rule them, that 
 forsook the blessed God of Sem: 
 having tasted of such great salvation 
 continually. Now their 
 path failed: their villages 
 failed: the warrior was at 
 their gate: the noise of the 
 Archer was among the 
 drawing wells. Yet God 
 gave that remnant of Canaan 
 to the courageous Barak: 
 the Lord made Deborah 
 rule by the mighty jud. 5.  
 
SAMVEL repeateth this story, 
 and others about it saying: when 
 they forgot the Lord, he sold 
 them to Sisera, the Philistines, 
 and the King of Moab. But 
 they cried unto the Lord to deliver 
 them. Also the Lord sent 
 jerubbaal, and Bedan, that 
 is, Samson of Dan, jephte,

 from your enemies 1. Sam. 12, 9

Samuel is a new Moses: & 
 comparable to him in many points. 
 Both of Levi, were kings 40 Y.  2841 Ephraim needed no glory: 
 & yet for joseph & josuahs' 
 sake God would give them one 
 judge: Ephraim despised Manasses: 
 nothing regarding jair 
 for iudgshyp: nor his Cities nor 
 sons: nor Gideon for discomfiture 
 of Madian & Amalek: 
 nor jephte for Ammon though 
 for their lisping pride therein, 
 42 thousand smarted. Michas 
 Idolatry from mount Ephraim 
 infecting Levi & Dan, might 
 have humbled them: whereby 
 they three have the last and least 
 glory among the judges: until 
 their idolatry is by Samuel removed, 
 after the transmigration 
 of the Land. Also that Idolatry 
 might be a great cause, that God 
 gave up 4000 of Israel in a 
 better cause to Benjamins' 
 sword. That History is joined 
 to Samsons death, to give a 
 close warning of God's displeasure 
 in Samson: & Ely: & in 
 removing the Ark from Syloh. 
 Yet for due time is must be placed 
 as I have set it: though great men 
 old & new think otherwise. 
 This one reason of many may 
 serve: Phinehas was then alive: 
 and about 90 Y. aged: In 
 Chusans' first year, to have 266 
 years more by Samsons fall: it 
 were strange. The Ebrews 
 that gave him so many, spoke as 
 the phrase lieth, according to 
 their manner, not as they think, 
 in proper truth. So they make 
 Naamah Noah's wife: and 
 Dina jobs: Thamar Melchisedecs' 
 daughter: because in 
 open phrase better men cannot be 
 named▪ though in truth it cannot 
 be so. So in Phrase Melchisedec 
 continueth for ever as God.

THE state of the forty years of JEREMY is more largely handled in God's book, 
Ezek. 4, 6.  than that every years story may be touched once in one line: wherefore I will so far break of the Chronicle, as to make some discourse of things falling out within it. 
jere. 7, 14.  All JOSIAS days JEREMY taught freely, 
2. King. 23, 21. 2. Chro. 34, 21. Sophe. 1.  that JERUSALEM should be as SYLOH. The king reform his state, kept a most solemn Passeover, and looked for captivity: but God reiourned it until his death. SOPHONY after reformation, warneth the kings sons of God's judgement, 
2. K in. 23, 29. The fifth calamity.  and blameth many for close Idolatry. On EGYPT they stayed, whose king NECHO killed at MAGEDDON, JOSIAS the uncted of JEHOVAH. That ZACHARY remembreth. 
2 Chro. 35, 20. 2. King 23, 34 The sixth calamity.  Cham 12. and showeth, that such shallbe their mourning for killing of CHRIST: but to better comfort. Then Necho held CARCHEMIES against ASSUR, and displaced king JOACHAZ, carrying him into EGYPT, and placed ELIAKIM king in JUDAH, changing his name unto JEHOIAKYM. In the first year of jehoiakym jeremy doth prophecy, that SALLUM or JOACHAZ shall not return from EGYPT but die there. Chr. 22. That NABUCHADNEZAR shallbe king of BABEL: 
jere. 27, 12.  & TZEDEKIAS of JUDAH: that JERUSALEM shallbe made as SYLOH. VRIAH is killed, & JEREMY quit. His third year ending, and much of his fourth, 
jere. 26, 23. Dan. 1, 1. jere. 25, 1.  is the first of Nabuchadnezar. Then jeremy prophesieth that NECHOS Garrisons of CARCHEMIES, and all EGYPT shallbe subdued by Nabuchadnezar. The former presently took effect. Nabuchadnezar cometh against jerusalem, and jeremy telleth again more particularly of Nabuchadnezars' power and kingdom to be great for seventy years: 
Dan. 1. The seventh calamity.  and of jerusalems' desolation for seventy. Then jerusalem besieged his taken, JEHOAKIM, DANIEL, ANANIAS, AZARIAS, and MISAEL, with others of the kings stock, are brought to BABEL. The king is sent home again, & made tributary to Nabuchadnezar. 
jere. 36, 15. jere 22, 19 2. King. 24, 1, 2. Chro. 36, 6. Dan. 1, 8. Levit, 11.  The same year: and the next jeremy lamenteth jerusalem. BARUC is his Scribe, readeth his Lamentations: which JEHOAKYM cut in pieces: thereupon God telleth that he shall be buried as an Ass. Three years jehoakym served Nabuchadnezar, the next herebelleth. Three years Daniel, Ananias, Azarias, and Misael, bestow in Chaldean studies: having showed rare care and courage in strait obedience to MOSES ceremonies. When jehoakym rebelled, than the other are found ten times better learned then the Chaldeans, by the king: and appointed of him to serve in his Court. 
Esa. 39, 6.  So Esay's prophecy is fulfilled. 2. King. 20. DANIEL had also skill in Visions and Dreams: whose case I compared before with joseph's for time of showing skill, for kings affection, for excelling Magicians, for advancement to the maintenance of their brethren. Two year after he had showed the king the dexterity of his study, 
Consider Daniel, Chap. 2. with the 7, 8, and 11.  The king in one dream seethe how BABEL alone, MADAI and PARAS jointly, JAV AN first jointly, after parted, in EGYPT and BABEL should rule many Nations, & afflict EBER until the birth of our Lord, the king of all kings: as Esa. 9 This he saw in one Image, and forgot his dream. DANIEL saw the same: remembered it: taught it the king: is made a great man: preferreth Ananias, Azarias, and Misael, to be rulers in BABEL. Sun after the king setteth up a great Image: and casteth Ananias, Azarias, 
Dan. 3.  and Misael, into a Furnace of flaming fire, accused to refuse the worshipping of it. 
Esa. 43, 2. ●hr. 11, 34.  When they went into the Fire JEHOVAH went with them: and Nabuchadnezar saw one like the son of God. By faith they quenched the force of fire. The king is amazed, maketh it death to speak amiss of their God: yet jehoakym in judah repenteth not, of oppression, & bloodshed, 
The eight calamity.  and sacrilege, and unloyaltie. jerusalem is again taken: jehoakym bound first: at the last, cast away unburied, as an Ass deserved. JEHOIACHIN his son is now fifteen years old, 
2. King. 24, l. The ninth calamity.  who was ten when HE (the Father) was made king: he was king three months: of him jeremy told, that none of his seed should sit upon DAVID'S throne, and that he should die chyldles. 
jere. 22, 30. 2. Chro. 36, 10. 1 Chro. 3, 15. 2 King. 24, 17. jere. 27, 5. jere. 28, ●. verse 17.  MATHANIAS his brother by general term of cozenage: His father's brother properly, in succession his son is made king by Nabuchadnezar, as God told jeremy. Four year jeremy laboureth to teach how nations must bear the yoke of BABEL: After jechonias and Mordochay were carried away. In his fourth year ANANIAS prophesieth falsely: that within two years God will break the yoke of the king of BABEL, and restore JECHONIAS home, and all that were carried with him: jeremy telleth Ananias that for his false prophecy he should die that same year: which death of his fell out as it was foretold. The same year jeremy writeth to Israel carried to Babel, that they should look for the end of seventy years before they looked to return. Also, he sendeth to Babylon a prophecy of the fall of Babylon, 
jere. 50. and, Chap. 51.  larger than that in ESAY. Chap. 13. & 14. & 21. Or that in ABAKUK Chap. 2. and charged the bearer SARAYAS' ruler of Menucha, who was sent from TZEDEKIA● to Babel that he should read the Prophecy at Euphrates: then should he tie it to a Stone, and cast it into the middle of Euphrates, saying: Thus shall Babylon be drowned. 
Apoc. 18, 21. Apoc. 17, 5.  The like are we taught, Apo. 18. touching ROME, called BABYLON in a mystery. Then a mighty Angel took up a Stone like a great Millstone, and cast it in●o the Sea, saying: with such violence shall the great city Babylon be cast and shallbe no more found. As jeremy writes to Babylon to keep Israel in true patience, 
jere 28, 17.  and hope of deliverance: so false Prophets in Babylon resisted him: One ACHAB and TZEDEKIAS, 
jere. 29, 22.  of whom he prophesieth that Nabuchadnezar will make them an ensample, and a byword of miserably cursed: burning them in fire. We may be sure so it fell out, because they stirred men to fall away from his obedience. He that spared not the Chaldeans, Dan. 2. would not spare them. Also in Babylon there was a man called SAMAIAH, who wrote to jerusalem against jeremy, that he should be clapped up in Lytle-ease, for writing to Babel that their captivity should be long. JEREMY from God sendeth him a bitter answer: He calleth him a Neclemite: which is, a Dreamer. It may be his family came of NACHAM 1. Chr. 4, 19 and as he pretended, that the punishers of jeremy should follow jehoiada: 
jere. 29, 32.  so might jeremy taunthim, that he was rather to be called a dreaming Neclemite, than a Noe-like Nachamite: for of Nacham, (which meaneth comforting) had NO his name. Gen. 5. Of him jeremy writeth, that in Babylon his family shall perish.  
When jeremy had been thus resisted, 
Ezek. 1, 1.  by false Prophets, God stirreth up Ezekiel to persuade the remnant by writing, that they should be carried to Babel. 
Est 2, 6.  He was captived when jechonias and Mardochai were. His example, 
Eze. 40, 1.  and the experience of two Captivities might have warned them not to store up wrath: but to mark how Israel pylde by PUL, captived and pylde in part to straight slavery by Tiglath-Pel-esar, had full payment to bondage by Salmanasar. So judaht City already surprised twice by JEHOIAKYMS frowardness, was now past hope of ability to resist one set up a Conqueror for their sins, when they daily more and more provoked Christ against them. 
Ezeki. 1.  The thyrteth year after the solemn Passeover, & finding of MOSES original, EZEKIEL seethe the glory of God and Christ: also he seethe the ministry of the Angels, which in wit excel, in might are strong, in service unweary, in quickness flit: them he saw in form of bodied weights, bearing in part the form of a Man, of a Lion, of on Ox, of an Eagle: they had also wings: and a voice was heard: of the blessed glory of JEHOVAH from his place. The Christians redeemed from the Heathen, 
Apoc. 8, 7.  have much the like. Apo. 4. Here were also wheels within wheels with fellies full of eyes: whereby the creature ruled by an endless foresight, aught to be meaned. There appeared besides upon a Sapphyre throne the likeness of a man, with the sight of fire mixed with the Raynebowes colour. So Christ showeth himself afore the end of ten Calamities named Esa. 6. 
Ezeks. 3. & 4.  Now Ezekiel in Table, Diet, and lying on his Sides, betokeneth that jerusalem by siege, and famine, shallbe taken: wherein note specially the time, applying a day to a year. Three hundred and ninety days represent so many years from the falling away by JEROBOAM. By so many years shall jerusalem be destroyed, and left defolate. In the end of them, when you are within forty of the last, on the other side, was Ezekiel to lie forty days for a new remembrance of the sin of JUDAH: who should be destroyed as aforesaid: and that when forty years should be accomplished in the preaching of jeremy, whom they so much despised. Famous would God have the pains of that his servant. 
Ezeki. 5.  The same time Ezekiel shaving his head, and parting the hear, showeth JUDAH'S case. One part ●he burnt with fire: an other part he cut with a sword: the third part ●he scattered into the wind. One part he bound up: and soon after ●he brent also that part. So Israel should perish in besiege by famine, pestilence, and such dispertion, and a small remnant for a while left with Gedaliah, should soon by Ishmael come to nothing. 
jere. 41, 2.  The next year again he seethe the glory of Christ, leaving the Temple, the Cherubin accompanying, and going to Mount Olivet. The like forsaking of the Temple Christ showed with his Disciples in the days of his ●●eshe. Mat. 24. But judah knew not God in Christ, reconcyling the world unto himself. Thus the two years confute Ananias the false Prophet. In the seventh of Tzedekias Ezekiel telleth that Israel brought from the Wilderness into the PLEASANT LAND, shallbe brought again into the Wilderness of the Heathen. Note that to be the name of Chanaan, 
Ezeki. 20, 7. Dan. 8, 9 Dan. 11. 16. Ezeki. 21, 26.  the PLEASANT LAND in Eze. 20. & Dan: 8 and PLEASANT Mountain. Dan. 11, for Zion or jerusalem. In that year Ezekiel calleth Tzedechias a profane bad man: and telleth of his abasing, & je-chonias advancement: & the Crown overturned, & that the kingdom shall be no more until HE cometh to whom it belongeth. He meaneth thereby CHRIST: 
Luk. 1, 32.  who shall fit upon the throne of DAVID for ever. Luk. 1. To this place of Ezekiel respected Nathanael, when he saith to the Lord: 
john. 1, 49,  Thou art the Son of GOD: thou art the king of ISRAEL: acknowledging that he was come ●o whom it belonged. 
Deut 15, 12, jere. 34, 14.  In the year of Rest, Servants were made free according to Moses: whom their Masters made bound again against the Law: thereupon jeremy telleth of their bondage.  
In the ninth year of the second Captivity, 
Est. 2.  that is since jechonias Mard●chai, and Ezekiel, were carried captives, and Tzedechias was made king: the tenth month, 
2. King. 25, 1.  the tenth day of the month, 
jere. 52, 4.  Ezekiel is told in Mesopotamia that, 
jere. 39, 1.  Nabuchaduezar that very day in judea laid siege to jerusalem. 
Ez. 24, 2. 6, 16.  Then God lykneth jerusalem unto a pot seeing full of flesh, until all be marred. Ezekiel's wife dieth: for whom he is forbid to mourn, as his people's sorrow for the children of jerusalem should be greater than open mourning might express. Notwithstanding all this, at jerusalem little thought they that their City should be destroyed: and jeremy is in Prison, for saying that God would deliver jerusalem into the hand of the king of Babel. First in strait prison. 
jere. 37. & 38  Cham 37. after in the court prison, after that in a dungeon, thence is brought again to the court prison, wherein he tarrieth until the City is taken. 
jere. 32, 7. The 19 of Nabuchadnezar.  In Tzedechias tenth year the Prophet buyeth a piece of ground of Chanameel his uncles son, 
jere. 32. and 33.  in token that after their carriage to Babel, there shall be for judah a return, and policy to buy & sell. The same time he confirmeth the people in expectation of Christ: which covenant is stronger that the heavens order. The same year Ezekiel● prophesieth that Pharaoh king of Egypt (who had been as a Reed to the house of Israel) should be overrun, as before jeremy had told. Cham 44. And in these times of siege, 
Ezek. 5, 10.  extreme sorrow befell in Israel by plague, famine, and sword. Fathers did eat their children, and children their fathers. Moses foresaw and foretold that. 
Deut 28, 53.  A greater desolation is after told, 
Dan. 9, 27. 2  whe●● CHRIST is utterly denied by them. 
King. 25, 2.  In the eleventh year of Tzedechias▪ the fourth month, 
jere. 39, 3.  the City is taken: 
jere. 52, 5.  Then Nergal, Sarezer & other Noble of Babylon enter into it. The Heathen make Nerighsarus one of the kinge● of Babel: a petty king well he might be under Nabuchadnezar, but none o● the chief three, for whose reign only judah should be in Babel. These Potentates of Babel executing the judgement of Christ, 
jere. 26, 8.  by the close assistanc● of his Angels, are performers of that vision which Ezekiel saw in Tzedechias sixth year: when Angels like men come from the north Gate, the● another man marketh them in the Forehad that mourned for the sinn● of the City, 
Ezek. 9, 3, 4.  that they might be kept safe. That falleth out in jeremy, Bar●●● Abdemelech, and such godly. So in the spiritual fall from the faith to Idolatry, which the Apocalypse revealeth: An Angel cometh from th● East,

Of Adam's day agreed hebrews, Chaldeans, Arabians, Greeks, Latins, Barbarians, of all Religions and ages: and sundry Scriptures that may not be wrested. The Startuppe● that would not have Christ proclaimed heir of all, the first day of man, blaspheme that which they know not. Our first Mother's name might teach them that ancient way to the doctrine of life. The Sabbath wholly the Lord resteth, which Adam never saw wholly kept. Therein he finished that Ceremony. The first day of the week his resurrection maketh the Lord his day. Apo. 1. He appeareth forty days: is taken up into the Heavens, and sitteth on the right hand of the majesty in the highest, until he maketh his enemies his footstool. His openest enemies now, were the jews that denied him, and the Romans, by whose policy he was crucified. The King was upon this to destroy the kings own Nation, City, and Sanctuary. Of that he foretold them, that their place should be desolate. Mat. 24. and of the proper token: when jerusalem should be besuged of an host. Luk. 2●● And referreth men to Daniel. 9 wherein Gabriel teacheth the full doctrine touching Christ, and of the destruction of the jews. The whole state spoke the same, saying: if we let him go (by his resurrection they could not choose) all men will believe on him and the Romans will come and destroy our Place, and Nation. joh. 11. Yet when Stephen said, that JESUS of Nazareth would destroy that Place: they held it blasphemy in an other to speak so of their Place, though he had the countenance and words of the Angel Gabriel. Act. 6. The Lord closely limited the time, telling how that generation should not pass, until all those things should be performed. By the most men's account it was forty years: so it falleth a day for an year, for misbelieving the resurrection. Of the Romans speaketh Paul of the removing of the Empire, and of the sinful rising, in am of him. Of that mischief spoke our Lord. Mat. 24. and the matter might tell that the City by which he was killed, wasworthiest to be in this curse.

ROME, BABYLON in a mystery, which crucified CHRIST. Apo. 11.  
In the deluge of jerusalems' destruction do end daniel's last sayings, 
daniel's book containeth 600 y. 70. 490. 40. Gen. 5, 29.  touching order of tyme. Chap. 9, 27. His whole book conteyheth so long a warning given to the jew, as GOD by Lamech gave to the old world, when he named Noah A special Comforter. But the jew went in the misbelief of the old world. The Lord by these times had shaken not only the Earth, 
Heb. 12, 26. Him that came not in the name of the father, but in his own name, they receive. joh. 5. Dan. 9, 27. Math. 14, 15. Mark. 13, 14. Zacha 11, 1, 2. Ezek. 47.  and earthly Emperors, but also the Heavens & the old Ceremonies, that figured the doctrine of the kingdom: that such as should not be shaken might be settled. Yet the jew denying the true Messiah, cleave to Bar-chozba, who said that he was Christ: for him they rebelled, though after he reigned two years and an half, they killed him. Talmud in Sanedrens. Cham Chelek. Pa. 93 & 97. Thereupon the Roman abominable infidels with force of desolation come to the mountain and place once holy: and work a final judgement upon it. Then Libanus did open the gates: fire brent the Ceders, the Fir, and Oak houled: when Nations warred against jerusalem, took the City, rifled the houses, defiled the women. And now is the day of lively waters issuing from a jerusalem from east to west: To which City they who will not come from all the families of the earth to worship the king JEHOVAH of hosts, their flesh, eyes, and tongue shall consume. Zach. 11. 14. according to this, after the fall of that jerusalem God revealeth to john being in obscure Patmos: 
Apo. 20, 19 Apo. 21.  How the Romans will fight also against the heavenly jerusalem: the glory of which he seethe most goodly. Concerning the Romans: these two things he discovereth, the profane emperors tyranny: and after their fall, the Popet double impiety poisoned with hypocrisy. The Stories of both, be most manifest of any Stories: and the Pseudo-catholikes own testimonies will confirm the matter. 
Apoc. 1. Trens 5. Eus. Chr. 3, 18  That Rome is condemned in the beginning for banishing john, all grant, that know Domitian. That Rome holdeth on to the end, in the Cup of the last wrath it is evident: 
Apoc. 12, 3. and 13, 1, 11. Apoc. 8, 3. Apoc. 17. Kings. 1 consuls. 2 Decemuires. 3 Dictator's. 4 Triumuires. 5 Caesares. 6 Popes & Emperors 7 & 8 Levy. 1. Tul. Off. 3. Apoc. 17. Dan. 7.  when the city shall perish which had the reign over the Kings of the earth. Cham 16 & 17. Let us consider the state of Rome, and mark how sit arms it hath, in two beasts of small difference: both seven headed: in one horned like a Lamb: in a Woman, Locusts, and in the Serpent: whose power extremely is executed. Rome stood upon seven Hills, and had the policy altered five t●mes before Casares, they make the fixed: After Emperors and Popes together, made a seventh, which after a sort should be an eight. That power is noted by a beast of seven heads: whereupon the Angel expoundeth it of seven Hills, & seven Kings. Any political state is in the Hebrew phrase called a King, as Dan. 8, 21. Rome was infamous for cruelty ever since Romulus killed his brother: but specially in the ten Persecutors and the Popes. The one beast the later hath for that, purple colour. The beast Chap. 13. hath a clear note from famous stories. Whereas the Image of the Emperors in Daniel were a Lion, Bear, Leopard, & abeast with ten horns: Rome having subdued all those Countries, thereaftet is a Beast with ten horns, like a Leopard, footed like a Bear, 
Apoc 17, 12. Steuchns' against Laur. Valla book. 2.  mouthed like a Lion. Also the other Beast hath ten horns very fitly: both for the ten Persecutors, and ten Kingdoms that john foresaw should be under the Popo: and Steuchus doth prettily confess: and the Greek Scholiast foretold that it would fall out so. The kingdoms 1. of Spain and Portugal. 2. of Hungary. 3. of England. 4. of Denmark. 5. of Ruscia. 6. of Creatia and Dalmacia. 7. of Arragon. 8. of Bohemia. 9 Suevia and Noruegia. 10. of Dacia: These Steuchus recordeth to have given their power to the Beast. For they paid tribute to the Pope, who called his throne the Apostolic seat, 
Apoc. 13, 5.  & had the mouth of the Dragon. The Greek Scholiast speaketh most fitly upon this place: saying, that the ten Horns are ten Kings, which in the later times shall arise from the Roman power, among whom the A●tichrist shall rise. Areth●● was no Prophet, yet the plainness of the matter caused him to say this much. And in these ten Kingdoms is revived a spice of the government of the people of Rome: Which then when john wrote had divided their Countries of Lieutenantshyppes into ten: as Srabo, who saw johnt days, lately had recorded Geo 17. This Empire notwithstanding their strength was overthrown for the emperors filthy life, specially for killing them that had the testimony of JESUS. For the Lord jesus fought against them in justice and power, 
Apoc. 10. Apoc. 6, 2. The white Horse, the 1 and 5 seal.  as riding on a white Horse, with a Bow, and Arrows sharp in the heart of the kings enemies. The holy Martyrs, who had hearts like Lions, they laid under the Altar, stirred up the holy and just LORD, to judge and revenge their blood, upon those beasts that ruled the earth. They in patience, as Oxen sacrificed, yielding their blood, saw a just recompense of bloodshed. For all their profane Emperors almost (some somewhat favoured Christians) brought their heads, with blood to the grave: as they came not up without great bloodshed. The vengeance of God was to them as a red Horse, 
The red Horse the 2 seal.  with a rider having a great sword▪ and a commission to take peace from the earth: that men should kill one another. Famine in great wars is not greatly strange: but here scarcity exceeding plentiful did they see who were men in deed, a punishment of the Gospel rejected. Many learned men of the heathen noted the pitiful state: but had not the judgement of a man to know that for savage cruelty against the Gospel, this punishment was sent. The wise might see a black Horse sent from God, 
The black Horse the 3 seal,  with a rider having a balance weighing Corn, as Spice for dearth: though Oil and Wine, and some sustenance of the earth was granted by the patience of God. God's patience not being regarded, he sent among the Caesaret upon the persecution by Diocletian, threefold judgements to the Emperors, as sword, hunger, and death all together. They who with eagle's eyes, would come to see Christ his justice, might now behold a pale Horse▪ having death and hell riding upon him. 
the pale Horse the 4 seal. Sozimus, book 2. noteth that Licinius one of the strivers at once of his 130000. soldiers lost all saving three. The 6 seal.  Then such slaughter made the Caesaret, and the Augusti, of themselves and of their people, that the Kings, and Dukes, and Earls, and every free man, and servant, were fain in all places to hide themselves from them that favoured Christianity, whom God made the stronger. The profane men for Idolatry felt such wrath as did Samaria, when Isra●h kingdom ended: when they well might say to the Mountains, fall upon us, and hide us. Yea, they that thought themselves to be the Sun, Moon, Stars, Heavens, and Mountains of the World, and to rule all Islands, are brought to such destruction, that the whole world as touching them is altered: The Earth is shaken, the Sun black the Moon bloody, the Stars fallen, the Heaven rolled as a roll, 
Apoc. 6, 14.  and every Mountain and Island have such alteration of dwellers as if they were moved from their place. These speeches may fitly be applied to the times of Constantius and Constantinus, the first Christian emperors. The like tropes are in Esa. 34. of matters fallen out before these times: though most properly it will fall out, when upon the Pope's utter destruction the whole world shallbe ended. But once it must be meant touching the destruction of the Empire.  
CONSTANTINUS hating the idolatry of old Rome, 
The Beast hath one head wounded to death. Apoc. 13, 3. Sozimus book. 2. Orosius. 7. jerom to Placidia. Rome became a prey, & sk●ffe to most nations. Sigibertus. Homer. Iliad. 8. ver. 448. Appi. in Libyc. The wounded head healed. Steuchus against Valla. Book. 1. Apoc. 13, 3. Apoc. 17, 11.  made Byzantium the prince's seat: called it NEW ROME, and endowed it with the privileges of OLD ROME: and gave it also another name. CONST ANTINO-POLIS. The Empire being there placed, the OLD ROME that in Italy was little set by, and by God's just judgement often overrun. For Alaricus and the Goths spoiled it, and so prevailed there, that they purposed to have named it GOTHIA. Genserieus and his Vandals rifled it, that they bestowed fourteen days in ransacking it. Odoacer with many nations surprise it, & reign there many years. But many more years doth Theodoricus with his Ostrogothes rule it. Totilas the Goth brent it, as Scipio did Carthage. Then Scipio spoke verses of Homer: which Hector had forespoken of Troy's ruin. Polybius demanding of what City he spoke: he said, of ROME: that the day should come, that it should be made like Carthage. That saying of Scipio is applied to Alaricus his time: it might be to Totilas, who brought ruinous Rome to an extremer ruin. And so the city there was defaced. But when the pontificality is set up by the decree of GOD, than all Heathen from east to west worship the Pope no otherwise, then of old t●●e they did the Emperors: whereas if it had not been for the pontificalt●ie, ROME should never have been revived, but left a most filthy habitation of hogs. This Steuchus confesseth. So by the POPE the Beast that was dead, is made alive. Chap. 13. And that which. Cham 17. for estimation once had been and after had not been, now again for estimation is: and the POPE ruling over the Empire, maketh the seventh and the eight Policy in ROME. 
Apoc. 13, 11.  To make that point more plain, of reviving Rome by the POPES, we have a new vision. For they are a Beast with horns like a Lamb, and the mouth of the Dragon: who maketh the image of the former Beast to have life, spirit, voice, and worship of nations, with killing the men, and confiscating their goods, 
Read the forged donation of Constantine.  that yield not to their joined power. Hereupon it hath been clearly showed by the Learned, that for Laws, Apparel, and Idolatry, the POPES are a lively image of the profane Emperors: with a religion more after Homer, then after the Scripture. Moreover to declare what should be meant by Horns like a Lamb: in the usurping Vicar of Christ, we have a certain name pointed at: whose frame and force will show the matter. Many men's names there be in the HOLYBOOKE, of fit marks for things that men conceive of God, or would find in themselves. And in the supposed barren places, 
Ezra. 2, 13.  as in Ezra great fertility of wisdom groweth. From thence hither God giveth us a number attributed unto a man, which will show us what man's name being opened for the force will utter the state of the Beast: and we should make more account of the golden wisdom herein contained, than SALOMON would of the 666 Talentes of Gold, 
As in the book of Numbers, so in Ezra the names & numbers are to be diligently regarded.  which he received yearly. 2. Chr. 9, 13. The book of Numbers, as Jerome marked, containeth the mysteries of Arithmetic. For that Book Midrat Tillin rightly observeth great Religion contained, in the names that be therein: that they are not egyptical, but fit for God's children. As doubtless they are apt touching notation for the first borne, recorded in the Heavens. Heb. 10. ELI-TZUR, GOD-IS-MY-ROCKE: TZURI-SHADDAI, MY-ROCKE-IS THE ALSVFFICIENT, These show how the sum of Religion is contained in their names, whereby that nation would not soon understand the term ROCK, Math. 16. of a bare man of Abraham's seed, nor join with POPES for the supreme Rock of the Church. The book of Ezra is much of the same kind: but in that age men had less regard to the disigent wisdom of their Fathers, as the Mid●a● also remembreth. Thence we have a name marked by a number: wherein both must be considered. The number ordained is 666: by which we find out a man's name fit for the woeful POPES. In Ezra Chap. ●▪ 13. it is written, The sonnet of ADONIKAM were 666. Here then a name of a man by a number is showed: And what might his name mean? Adonikam, is by interpritation A God standing up.  
What name can better agree with the POPE, the man of sin that speaketh with the mouth of the Dragon most tragically, I am a God upon the earth. 
Baldus in C. ecclesia ut sit peudeat fol. in cap. ego N. de jurciur. Dan. 11. ●. Thessa. 2. 1. Macha. 1, 57 R. Abr. Adon●●. Zonaras. bo●ke. ●.  The Pseudo-catholikes themselves say: the POPE is GOD upon the Earth. The POPE is Lord of Lords, and hath the authority of the King of Kings over his Subjects. And is not he then the only man to whom properly belongeth the name ADONIKAM? Seeing he setteth up himself in the Temple of God, as if he were God. Antiochus Epiphanes who started from Rome and set in the Temple the Idol of jupiter Olympius, did not so much exalthym self above God. The POPE began to stand up a Lord, when impudent Boniface gate the supremacy by the murderer Phocal. But that mystery of iniquity wrought further to the quickening of the Beast, in that sad time of Gregory the third. For he to strengthen Idolatry, excommunicated LEO the Greek Emperor, putring down Images, though he did that by the consent of council, upon the express commandment Exod. 20. That excommunication kindled sedition, which inflamed the Longobardiet against the Emperor.  
After that he lost first the Exarchy of Ravenna, and in process of time the government of Italy. When the Longobardi increased stirs in Italy, and the Greek Emperors troubled at home, upon the former sedition for Images, were less able to help Italy & Rome: Charle● the great is moved to wars upon an injury done by Desiderius king of the Longobardie● to himself. And (as defenders prosper) He put Defiderius besides his own kingdom, and holding Italy then by that conquest: kept it still. This breach in the Empire came by the POPE, and his Idolatry. Charles the great gave much revenwes to advance holy knowledge, being taught by English Alcoinus: and sundry of hi● posterity followed him. All their liberality the POPE'S labour to turn● from painful study, to superstition and their own power: And a● the last persuade the people, that they had authority over the Empire: and prescribe Idolatry through all the Empire: reviving the old Beast.

Now for the other point, 
To bear the number of the beasts name what it is.  the bearing of the NUMBER of his name: it is all one as to have a mark in hand or forehead, work or any profession: but that the allusion is fetched from Ezra. 2, 13. For as the sons of ADONIKAM make up the number 666: So they that be the POPE'S babes, and hold him to stand up as GOD in the Church, are said to have his names number. And for most clear condemning of Rome, mark who the Woman is that rideth upon the Beast. Apoc. 17. One running by may see. Any living when john wrote would grant Rome to be there condemned. 
† Tertul. against the jew, and jerom. Ep. 17. Cham 6. and the Greek Scholiast deadly condemnyng Rome, made the lesuites mad to seek ridiculous distinctions. See their Testaments notes. Apo. 17. There they bite their twne tongue.  In S. Ieromes days it was doubtless, the Greeks still are of that judgement: Rabanus and Albertus note how manifest it is: the jesuits can not deny it: but they shall strive against their owneselues. And that place is a key to open a gate to the other visions: through all which Rome is condemned extremely.  
From this BABYLON came Idolatry, which caused CHRIST to cast fire into the Earth. And though as it were seven Trumpets sounded all points of dealing and doctrine, men would not hear what GOD spoke to the congregations. 
* 1. Trumps.  Full often did the emperors badness (specially in Mauricius and Phocas) cause hail and fire to be mixed with blood.

The Star fallen from Heaven, was an Angel of a congregation: his sedition is a Torch: his deadly corrupting Scriptures is Wormwood making bitter waters. In a short time they that seemed to be as those in Gen. 37. 10. the Sun, 
4. Trumpet. Gagneus a Papist condemneth here Pope's Cardinals, and Bishops. 5. Trumpet.  Moon, and Stars, be much darkened. After this the Star that fell from the heavenly congregation, the Pope worketh strange things: by the Keys of the Pit he loosed out a smoke of heresies, that darkened Sun and Air: all brightness of Scripture. Thence ariseth his Clergy, which most lively is expressed. They be Locusts for their idle bellies, and troops of loiterers: they be Scorpions for close poisoning doctrine: 
Esa. 9, 15.  And the Tail is the Prophet that speaketh lies. They are for the Wars which they make, and strengthening of their own Authority: as Horses ready for battle: with wings of charets: with teeth of Lions, with habergions of Iron. For overrunning Magistrates, they have crowns of counterfeit Gold: for private state in pretence: they have faces of

These notes all agree most fitly to the Pseudocatholiques.  
Now consider Moamed or Muchumet, whom God gave up to a blind mind, and effect in error, that by him Christians might see, what mischief might aswell come by Pope's supremacy. This Moamed an Ismaelite being a poor man, till he married a widow wealthy and of high countenance: having the Falling sickness, whereby the widow was sorry that she matched with him, persuaded her by himself and others, that his fits were but atraunce: wherein he talked with the angel Gabriel. The woman made women believe that her husband was a Prophet: afterwards men by help of certain Haeretiques set the false Prophet forward. From judaisme, Arrius, Nestorius, and his own brain, he frameth a doctrine. Much he was opposite to the Pope, as in polygamy against his Monachy: much in the same kind, as that he hath the Keys of PARADISE: as the Popes were then, somewhat talking of S. PETER'S keys. Both had Keys of the Pit. He prevaileth so by force of his wild company, and guile deceiving the simple: that before his death he winneth

The sons of Ishmael ashamed of Agar's name, borrow from Sara the term of Saracenes. The Pope was bolder, that taketh from God the title HOLINESS. His sons of darkness follow him that appropriate the name of Catholics, being but Psendocatholiques. Both in their deceit increase much: the one by success in wars, and one point of plain truth: that Images might in no wise be worshipped. Th●other prospered by teaching a short way, supposed of Salvation, to know and fear God so far as an Idol did move to understanding and reverence.

But God would have there a throne for a vicar of pilate's holiness: and Cittim to hold such Abadd●● until the end. At the last thus the Turks join with them. When the Saracene● had conquered much they make five mighty Empires. In Spain, Lybia, Egypt, Babylon, and Persia. Muchumet of Imbrael king of Persia having war against Babel and India: hireth three thousand Turks,

In Herodotus the name jyrkes is recorded: where the place somewhat argueth the men to be the same. These helping Muchumet, at last fell to a mutiny, and to avoid punishment, shrunk to a place of great vantage for safety. Whom Muchumet seeking to repress, by unheedines lost 20000 of his men: being angry, pulled out his Captains eyes, and threatened to put all the other Soldiers to open shame. The Soldiers fearing, fled to Tangolipex. Muchumet with all his power cometh against him: is killed in the field, and Tangolipex proclaimed Sultan: (That is, Ruler) of all that Muchumet had. The term Sultan is in Daniel 3. 
In the Caldy. Dan. 3. The Saracens description it much after the Papists.  That Israel was scattered near the Turks: I showed before. Thus from Euphrates, Saracenes and Turke● spring to have thousands of thousands: to be four Angels of God's wrath upon Idolaters, ready for hour, day, month▪ year: as Idolatry & other sins provoked God. As their conversation, so their description is after the Pseudocatholiques rate. which through these find measure for measure. Their force is Horses: their courage is Lion's heads. Their great desolation which they make, burning where they go, is Habergions, fiery blue and brimstony. Their might, and doing this upon a word, is fire, smoke, and brimstone, coming out of their mouths. Their false Doctor, guiding their rule, is the tail like a Serpent, that draweth as Papistry to the second death.  
The Greek Emperors understood that for Idolatry they were punished: 
Cedrenus & Nicephorus tell this, though with malice.  and by learned counsel did repress it vehemently: From Leo Isauricus to Theophilus: who could not abide any Picture to allure the mind: which ought to regard not shadows, but truth. Yet after his death Idolatry confirmed in old Rome, came so to new Rome: that Saracenes Angels from Euphrates were let lose. 
Papas is Father, & Pope's Devils. Eust. upon. Homer. The description of Satan by Rome's arms openly argueth Rome to be Satan's throne.  This came from Papes turned to Popes: from Fathers to Devils. The description of Satan the Dragon is therefore like the Roman power, with red colour, seven heads and Diadems, and ten horns. Though Satan strived by might and guile: yet from the time of our Lord his death he was tied a thousand years from deceiving generally. For Martyrs and other faithful that thousand years learned the life of Christ: and reigned with him. As for the faithless dead in sin, Satan was not tied to them, who would not be holy and happy, in knowing the first resurrection. But after a thousand years, Satan was let loose every where, and few found Martyrs that held clear the testimony of Christ. Gregory the seventh manifestly held the throne by Satan. And Vrbanus that confirmed his decrees, was in the same condemnation. He no less besieged the holy city of Christians in all his proceedings, and became a mountain of Fyrein the mids of the Sea: Specially in kindling the

Wars for jerusalem: and causing that place to be counted still holy. There nigh 200 year fell the force of the West: whereby Emperors & Kings were weakened, to be under the Popes. Upon the same the Saracenes more hated the Christians of the east: When they marked our Idolatrous and superstitious conspiracies. So long sharp wars never were in the world, of such calamities to both sides. The places by old names, fall properly within the text: for plaguey Antioch was built by that GOG Ezek. 38. And jerusalem was called the Holy City: notwithstanding here the four quarters of the earth, & troublers of the Christians be meant. 
* So ●hat, Ap●: 14 the blood reaching to the Horse bridles 1600 furlongs, fitly is spoken of this wars for the land of Israel: for in salomon's Temple blood reached to the horse bridles: and the whole land of Israel, (through all which this war went) is holden 1600 furlongs large in R. Menachem upon Gen. fol. 60.  Now the Pope king Abaddon of Gyges' sleight by man's help cannot be overthrown. But Michael that stood on the waters, & calmed the old God's waves, standeth and sweareth in like sort against him. Seven thunders declare the thunder of his power: seven Angels power upon the beast going to destruction, the last Plagues from seven Cups of God's wrath.  
In quietness they have filthy boils, in troubles less and more, their waters are turned to Blood. That holiness throne is vile in Satan's darkness, and for treachery they find burning affliction. For Idolatry still they from East and Euphrates mightily prevail: and when they stir their Kings against us in the West: their three froggy spirits, that of imperial power, that of false prophecy, that of Satan's sleight: all three bring their Navy, and other force, as to the waters of MAGEDDON, to be cut in pieces. They shall feel the seventh Cup of wrath, and hear the seventh Trumpet: when Nations oppressed by them, learn skilfully to sing, HALLELUIA: and with understanding can praise the Lord. Even the Lord must consume this bad king Abaddon of Cittim Italy in the end, at his glorious appearing. 
§ For light & comparison of both, you shall have a fuller. Map, and Pictures.  As those Beasts in Daniel by the first coming of CHRIST into the world, were wholly consumed: for whom God sat on a fiery Throne: So the Beast compounded of those Arms, shall perish at the second: For whom a white throne of justice is openly revealed. By sentence thence the false Prophet POPE, and the Beast of his authority shall aye feel God's wrath until they both be cast to the Dragon into Brimstony fire. Even so, Amen. Holy and just are thy judgements O Lord, the king of the Saints.  
After the destruction of Babylon, let us behold the salvation of Zion: which mountain the lords death lyftted above all Mountains: 
Esa. 2, 2. Mich. 4, 1. Apo. 14.  that all Nations might follow the Lamb upon it. At jerusalem the Disciples received power from above: being together about an hundredth and twenty souls: to declare the great works of God, in raising his son from death. Then were jew from all Nations under Heaven at jerusalem. Saint Luke reckoneth them much after the countries, into which men were first scattered upon the confusion of tongues, for the building of Babylon: and according to the kingdoms that oppressed the faithful Ebrewet after Babel's ruin by Sem and japheths posterity. The number of an hundred and twenty to speak to all jew, that from far Countries came to jerusalem: was fit to revive the story of their dispertion under Darius and Cyrus: 
jerom upon Dau. 6. Dan. 6. and 9 2. Chro. 36, 22. Ezra. 1 3. Luke. 19, 11.  when by decree of Madai and Faras the God of heaven was preached: Cyrus sent judah to build jerusalem: and Gabriel told what year, day, and hour, CHRIST should die. That Prophecy made them come that year to jerusalem, to look for the kingdom of Heaven to appear. Then from Zion was the Law to go forth, 
Esa. 2, 3.  and the word of the Lord from jerusalem, even when the most Holy by his death had confirmed the testament for many. The learning of salvation by Greeks hence first taught: was that dwelling of japheth in Sems tents. Hitherto was that place glorious by the blessing of Sem, 
* That Melchisedec was cmmonly holden to be Sem, these Authors of sundry religions I had at hand to name, to stay such as think that a new opinion. Hebrews upon Gene. 14. Rabbi Levi, Ben-gerson, Aben Ezra, Baalhaturim, R. simeon been jochai, Ramban, S. jarchi from Hagada, Moses Hadarson in Pet. Galatin, Midras' Tillin Psa. 76. Cimchi, Psa. 110. Seder-ol. Talmud in Nedarim, and Aboth R. Nathan, ●. Bochai upon Gen. fol. 21. who noteth for the phrase that in Sems generations, Dying is not mentioned until Thara (which was mentioned in all from Adam to Noah) because CHRIST should come of Sem, who liveth for ever. Consider Syrach, 49. The learned Latins also commonly hold Sem to be Melchisedec. Selneccerus upon Gen. 14. Namely take th●so, jerom, Luther, Melanthon, Carion, Peucerus, Chytreus, Nau●clerus, Lyra, Gul●elmus Tyrius, Lib. 23. Cham 9 Rigistrum Chroniearum, Aquinas, ●assamus, bad Genebrard, often upon sundry occasions in Chro. fol. 27, 28, 36, 38, 39 41, 46, 54, 58. Contemn not our own nation, English writers 400 years old, Bale votar. Page. 3. Lanquet in his Chro. and the Tables joined to the Bibl, collected by R. F. H. Also the Calendar translated from Arquery. A jew would loathe him that would hold any man then alive, greater than Abraham, not being of the right line of the Fathers. Of the like mind is S. Aug. in qu●st. ex utroque mixtim, Cap. 109.  who under the person of Melchisedec, was still alive in description. Gen. 14, 18. To which description the jew were to look, that CHRIST might be known to be God the just king, heir of the world, faithful over his own house, a fynisher of Aaron's office, of all Sacrifice & Offering, an eternal sacrificer by once offering himself. In this City they received power in a strong wind, in fiery cloven tongues, were filled with the holy Ghost, and could speak to every one in his own language. So the jerusalem from above was to be built, that all nations might work in it, as contrariwise by tongues not understood, the work was but Babylon a confusion: and men scattered caused the name Synear: and were estranged from the Tents of Sem: and life of God, without whom being their guide, they perish for ever. Hence the Disciples went forth to teach how CHRIST was to suffer: to arise from death, and to give salvation to the world.  
That work they performed by the strength of God: who confirmed their doctrine with signs, wonders, powers, and gifts of the holy spirit, according to his will. Some of these godly Angels soon did seal their doctrine with their blood: some later ended their goodly combat: some lived to see CHRIST come in his kingdom with power: when the word was fruitful in all the world: & that city was built by fishers of Galilee, which is called JEHOV AH-THERE.  
Then Tongues, Nations, and people of all Kingdoms departed from the power of darkness, by faith and obedience to the kingdom of Christ, giving honour and glory for ever to the king everlyving, holy, unuifible, God, only wise. Of the jew there held still the faith an infinite number, termed by thousands 144 after their reckoning of many. These with us Heathen come to the feast of Tabernacles with Palm, crying HOSANNA, Salvation to God, and to the Lamb. This company of faithful s●●les, called to the blessed marriage of the Lamb, are a jerusalem from Heaven. Apoc. 3. & 21. Ebr. 12. Though such glorious things be spoken concerning this city of God: the perfection whereof cannot be seen in this vale of tears, yet here God wipeth all tears from our eyes, and each blessing is here begun. The name of this City much helpeth jew and Gentile, to see the state of peace. For this is called JERUSALEM: and that in Canaan hath Christ destroyed. This name should clearly have taught both the Ebrewes not to look and pray daily for to return to Canaan: and Pseudocatholiques not to have fought for special holiness there. We live in this by faith, and not by eye sight: and by hope, we behold the perfection. Of this City salvation is a wall, goodly as jasper, clear as Crystal. The foundations are in number twelve: of twelve precious Stones, such as Aaron ware on his breast: all the work of the Lambs twelve Apostles. The Gates are twelve, each of Pearl: upon which are the names of the twelve Tribes of Israel: of whose faith all must be, which enter in. Twelve Angels are conductors from east, west, north, & south: even the stars of the Churches. The city is square: of Burgesses settled for all turns. Here God sitteth on a Throne, like a jasper and Ruby, comfortable and just. The Lamb is the Temple: that a third Temple should not be looked for to be built. 
Now that Melchisedec representeth GOD, these very hebrews grant. R. simeon in Zoar, and R. Menachem, fol. 45. that he represented CHRIST. R. Isaac been Arama upon Gen. 47. and Mose● Hadarson vpo● Num. 16. they hold that. Yet their darkness cannot comprehend the light of God dwelling in Christ.  Thrones twice twelve are for all the Christians: borne of Israel's twelve, or taught by the Apostles: who for dignity are Seniores: For infinite, are termed but four and twenty, in regard of so many Tribes and Apostles. Here the Majesty is honourable: as at the delivery of the Law, from whose throne thunder, voices, and lyghtninges', do proceed. Here oil of grace is never wanting: but burning with seven Lamps, the spirits of

Here the valiant patient, witty, and speedy, with sharp sight, are winged as those Seraphim that waited on Christ: when ten calamities, and utter destruction was ●olde for the low jerusalem. They of this City are not as Israel, after the flesh, which would not see for all the wonders that our Lord did. But these redeemed by his precious Blood are full of eyes, lightened by Lamps, the glory of JEHOV AH, and beholding Christ through all the Prophets: a perfourmer of our faith,

Hither kingdoms bring their glory: Hither the blessed Nations carry their jewels. This is a kingdom uncorrupted, which shall not be given to a strange and unclean people. They must be written in the book of the Lamb, and chosen of eternity, sanctified of God, which here be citizens. Through this there gusheth a stream better than the four in Eden: a stream of lively waters by belief in Christ, as those waters flowing from Lebanon. Here is that Tree of life in the mids of the Paradise of God, with leaves to heal the nations, that will be cured, while it is said to day: with twelve fruits, to give food continually: to such as feed also upon the h●d Manna: who after death, receive the crown of justice and life,

And as Moses began with the terrestrial, so the holy word endeth in the celestial: that to wheels full of eyes, may the writ of truth be compared. The full consent and melody of Prophets and Apostles: how their haps are tuned on Mount Zion, it will fully appear in the full sight of peace: when our bodies are made conformable to Christ his glorious body in the world to come: 
Phil. 3, 21.  and our eyes shall see the Lord in that Zion. For that coming, O thou whom my soul loveth, be like to the Roe upon the mountains. 
Cant. 1. &. 3.  Amen, even so come Lord jesus. Then we shall in perfect holiness worship thee: to whom the Angels always give holy worship: saying, praise, and glory, and wisdom, and thanks, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for evermore.  
Amen.
