A46359	The accomplishment of the Scripture prophecies, or, The approaching deliverance of the church proving that the papacy is the antichristian kingdom ... that the present persecution may end in three years and-half, after which the destruction of Antichrist shall begin, which shall be finisht in the beginning of the next age, and then the kingdom of Christ shall come upon earth / written in French by Mr. Peter Jurieu ... ; in two parts ; faithfully Englished from the new French edition, corrected and enlarged by almost a third part, with the explication of the visions of Daniel and the Revelation.; Accomplissement des prophéties.

nations unto the obedience of the Church of Rome But besides that in this there is no shadow of resemblance between the Prophetick Emblem and that which is pretended to be signified by it this contradicts the evident Principle that these plagues never signify good to the Antichristian Empire The reduction of so many Nations under the obedience of the Pope is the greatest advantage that hath happened to the Antichristian Kingdom 3. According to Mede it is the popish sea slain and turn'd into blood by the Reformation which was done in the last Age. 4. According to De Launay it is the government of soveraign Princes allied with the Pope which shall become tyrannical and odious to their subjects 5. Testard thinks that it signifies that many States shall withdraw themselves from the jurisdiction of the Pope so that this domination shall become like a bloody carkass which putrifies the waters 6. According to Durrham the waters are Ecclesiastical constitutions decrees Canons worship Mass c. And that the viol shall make all these become deadly to those who use them 7. Lastly in the judgement of Dr. More the fishes here signify men and the sense is that men shall withdraw themselves from the dominion of the Pope so that no more any men shall be found under that dominion Interpretation of the third plague The third Plague is The Rivers turned into blood 1. According to Forbes these are the Doctors Bishops and Priests of the Church of Rome which must become stinking unto the people even as Rivers of blood 2. According to Cocceius this signifies the wars and divisions which have spilt so much blood among Christian Princes since the time of the Waldenses and Albigenses 3. According to Mede the Rivers are the Emissaries Agents and Protectors of popery whose turn shall come to suffer the deaths and torments which they had caused the faithful to suffer which he says came to pass in England in the reign of Queen Elizabeth 4. According to de Launay this is the Doctrine of popery that shall become odious to all its followers 5. Testard follows the Interpretation of Mede 6. Durrham does the like 7. And so does Dr. More Interpretations of the fourth plague The fourth Plague is The Sun whose heat and scorching beams do burn men 1. According to Forbes this is the Light of the Gospel which is renewed and doubled by the Reformation and which fills the Papists with despair 2. Cocceius saith almost the same thing that the Sun is Jesus Christ the beams are his efficacy and light which destroys the superstitions of popery by discovering them 3. Mede thinks that the Sun in this fourth Plague is the Emperor or some other great Potentate who shall abandon popery and torment it 4. De Launay judges that the Sun is the Pope and this is the only thing in which he hath guessed right and that the burning caused by the Sun signifies that remorse of Conscience which Papists subjects of the Pope will feel 5. Testard who every where follows Mede does leave him here and follows Forbes 6. Durrham follows Mede 7. And Dr. More is of the opinion of Forbes and Cocceius Interpretations of the fifth plague The fifth Plague falls upon the seat of the Beast which is darkned by it 1. According to Forbes this is the diminution of credit and authority which happened to popery by the Reformation 2. According to Cocceius the throne of the Beast signifies a multitude of Nations upon whom the Pope did sit and this throne was overturn'd by the Council of Trent which by its excommunications hath seperated a multitude of Nations from the See of Rome 3. According to Joseph Mede this signifies that the City of Rome shall be utterly destroy'd a considerable time before popery be compleatly ruin'd 4. This is also the opinion of de Launay 5. Testard hath followed them both 6. And Durrham likewise 7. Dr. More saith that the plague which falls upon the seat of the Beast and darkens it is the discovery of the falshood of the pretended infallibility of the Pope Interpretations of the sixth plague The sixth Plague falls upon Euphrates whose waters are dryed up that a way may be open'd to the Kings of the East 1. According to Forbes Euphrates signifies the Papal power and domination the Kings of the East are Turks and Jews this Papal domination is an obstacle to the conversion of these Kings of the East when it shall be abolisht that which is signified by the drying up of the River Euphrates the Turks and Jews shall be converted 2. According to Cocceius Euphrates signifies also the power of the new Babylon This Euphrates saith he this Roman power hath been much weakned in this present age by the wars which have happened between the Spaniards the French the Germans the Hollanders The Kings of the East are the Turks which must come but he knows not how far they must come 3. According to Joseph Mede Euphrates dryed up signifies the ruin of the Mahometans and the Kings of the East who shall come are the Jews who shall be converted 4. De Launay says almost the same thing save that by the Kings of the East who shall come he understands all the Nations which are on the other side of the Bosphorus who shall be converted to the Faith. 5. Testard exactly follows the conjecture of Ioseph Mede 6. Iames Durrham does not much differ 7. And Dr. More conjectures that here is signified the conjunction of the Turks and Iews as well as their conversion They all agree in interpreting the three unclean spirits like unto Frogs to be the Agents and Ambassadors of the Pope or Monks Interpretations of the seventh plague The seventh viol falls upon the air and the plague consists in thunders lightnings earthquakes the division of the City into three parts 1. Forbes explains this to be the total ruin of popery but knows not what to make of the division of the City into three parts 2. Cocceius applies this to the wars which have happen'd in this Age in England Scotland to the massacre in Ireland to the death of King Charles I. to the War between the Hollanders and Spaniards He confesseth also that he knows not what the division of the City into three parts means by the City he understands the true Church 3. Mede also explains all this to be the final destruction of popery but saith nothing of the division of the City into three parts 4. De Launay understands it after the same manner he says that the three parts of the City have relation to the three great judgements by which God will destroy the Antichristian Empire 5. Testard follows Mede and knows no more then he the meaning of the division of the City into three parts 6. According to James Durrham this Plague comprehends all the calamities which must happen from the fall of Antichrist unto the end of the world the

was establisht with a terrible havock such as a hideous monster that should rise out of the sea and of an enormous greatness would cause making the waves to foam blowing the water with his nostrills and sending out terrible bellowings 'T is the emblem of the manner wherby the Roman Empire was establisht This Beast hath seven Heads The Spirit explains this of so many Kings and so many mountains The seven heads are seven Kings and seven Mountains See here the Character of Rome together with its Empire It sits on seven Heads that is to say on seven Mountains and it had seven Kings that is to say seven forms of Soveraign Governments We have already reckon'd them up in the foregoing Chapter 1. Kings 2. Consuls 3. Decemvires 4. Tribunes of the people 5. Perpetual Dictators 6. Emperours 7. Popes He hath ten Horns The Prophet doth not say how these Horns were distributed on the Heads But however it is certain The ten Horns are only on the seventh head that they were all on the seventh Head that is to say on the Head of the Popes For 't is under the Papal Dominion that the Roman Empire is divided among ten Horns that is to say among ten Kings Europe that obeyeth the Pope is divided into ten Principal Kingdoms 1. Germany 2. Hungary 3. Poland 4. Suedeland 5. France 6. Spain 7. Italy 8. England 9. Portugal 10. Scotland The other Kingdomes and States were dependencies on these From the first division of the Roman Empire that happened in the fifth Age the partition was made among ten Kings also as we shall observe afterwards Horns always signify power in the Scripture this is known So that these ten Horns must be powers But no signify that these Powers are Soveraign ones and not subordinate the Spirit gives them Diadems They are Soveraigns in name but in truth they are dependents on the seventh head which is the Pope and the Papism For the Papism subjects all Kings to the Pope On the heads there is a name of blasphemy This is not on one of the heads but on all of them And the name of blasphemy is that of the Queen of the universe which she vvould always bear since she attained to her greatness Terrarum Dea Gentiumque Roma 'T is the title of Rome eternal as Saint Ierome hath observed Ad Algas quaeft 11. The Roman Emperours made themselves be called your Divinity They built Temples to them they burnt incense to their Genius they sacrificed to them The seventh head hath also its names of blasphemy The Pope is called his Holiness Vice-God God on Earth Vicar of Jesus Christ Rome under his Dominion is called infallible Rome eternal Rome The Dragon give him his power 'T is the Devil which gives to the Roman Empire the false Religion the idolatries and heresies by which it makes war against God the ambition the cruelty and the covetousness by which it makes war against men And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death 1.3 and his deadly wound was healed and all the world wondered after the Beast The Prophet doth not say what head was wounded but it can't be doubted but that it was the last save one For that which comes in the place of that which is wounded lasts to the end Therefore the head wounded to death must be the sixth and the resurrection of this head must make the seventh head or the seventh Government The sixth head is that of the Emperours 'T is wounded by the Goths and the Vandals The Roman Empire is destroyed But it rises again under another head and a new kind of government viz. that of the Popes De Donat Constant In the power of the Papacy is brought forth again if not the grandure of the ancient Empire yet at least a form of government that is not very much different from that by which all the nations once obeyed the Emperours 'T is the confession of Steuchus Bishop of Agobio All the World wondered after the beast The Earth being astonisht to see the Roman Empire establisht under the new name of the Roman Church follows this new Beast submits to this Church being ravisht with this dignity that appeared to list up Christianity to the height of grandeur it submitted to this Chimoera of the spiritual and temporal Principality of the Church of Rome And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies After this v. 5● 't is only the seventh head that is treated of which is called the Beast simply because 't is the longest duration of the fourth Monarchy 'T is therefore this seventh head the Pope and the Papism that brings forth these great things Can there be any thing greater than that which the Roman Church saith of it self that she is the Spouse of Christ the Queen of all the Churches the infallible Judge of all controversies the Ark out of which there is no salvation the Divinity to which all nations must pay homage the common mother of all Christians the Soveraign of the Kings of the Earth that can depose them transfer their Crowns and give them to whom she thinks fit see the great things and these great things are blasphemies This is clear For to attribute that to her self which belongs only to God is to blaspheme And power was given to him to continue forty and two months 'T is still the seventh head that is treated of 'T is to it that the period of forty and two months of twelve hundred and sixty days that is to say of twelve hundred and sixty years is assigned 'T is clear that these forty two months do not respect the entire Beast that is to say the seven heads or the seven Governments for after the third verse 't is only the seventh head that is spoken of Moreover the seventh Monarchy in its whole extent hath lasted almost twice forty two prophetical months as we have before observed 'T is therefore the duration of the Antichristian Empire or of the second period of the fourth Monarchy that must be extended to 1260. years He opened his mouth in blasphemy against God. ● 6. 'T is to blaspheme God to attribute to it self his power as the Roman Church doth against his name that is to say against his glory The Papism ravishes away the glory from God to give it to the creatures Against his Tabernacle that is to say against his Temple and his Church in calling the true Children of God which are his house heretiques and schismaticks Against them that dwell in Heaven These are the Saints and Angels of whom the Papism makes idols and whom by consequence it greatly injureth And it was given to him to make war with the Saints v. 7. and to overcome them 'T is well enough known how the Papism hath employed Anathemaes thunders fire and sword to extinguish the truth and to destroy the faithful And I beheld another beast coming out of
