A20217	The ruine of Rome: or An exposition vpon the whole Reuelation Wherein is plainly shewed and proued, that the popish religion, together with all the power and authoritie of Rome, shall ebbe and decay still more and more throughout all the churches of Europe, and come to an vtter ouerthrow euen in this life before the end of the world. Written especially for the comfort of Protestants, and the daunting of papists, seminary priests, Iesuites, and all that cursed rabble. Published by Arthur Dent, preacher of the word of God at South-Shoobery in Essex.	Dent, Arthur, d. 1607.; Culverwell, Ezekiel, 1553 or 4-1631.	1603 (1603)	STC 6640; ESTC S117456	184,102	332

give_v all_o glory_n to_o he_o alone_o and_o not_o to_o any_o creature_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v yield_v because_o the_o hour_n of_o his_o judgement_n be_v come_v 119.13_o that_o be_v the_o time_n of_o the_o manifestation_n of_o the_o gospel_n or_o law_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n for_o so_o the_o word_n judgement_n be_v often_o take_v in_o the_o scripture_n here_o we_o be_v to_o observe_v one_o special_a thing_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o gospel_n which_o this_o angel_n fly_v withal_o contain_v the_o brief_a sum_n of_o all_o the_o doctrine_n which_o luther_n calvin_n peter_n martyr_n and_o the_o rest_n have_v teach_v out_o of_o god_n word_n &_o agree_v in_o all_o point_n with_o it_o for_o what_o other_o thing_n do_v they_o all_o preach_v teach_v and_o write_v but_o that_o man_n shall_v turn_v from_o idol_n to_o the_o live_a god_n from_o fear_v glorify_v &_o worship_v creature_n to_o fear_v worship_n and_o glorify_v god_n alone_o which_o have_v make_v all_o thing_n what_o other_o thing_n do_v all_o the_o preacher_n of_o this_o age_n publish_v &_o proclaim_v in_o all_o their_o sermon_n but_o this_o fear_v god_n and_o give_v glory_n only_o to_o he_o be_v not_o this_o the_o epirome_n and_o short_a sum_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o all_o the_o preacher_n of_o england_n scotland_n germany_n france_n denmark_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o this_o angel_n must_v needs_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o preacher_n of_o this_o last_o age_n which_o now_o these_o fourscore_o year_n have_v found_v the_o trumpet_n of_o the_o gospel_n against_o all_o the_o invention_n of_o popery_n and_o bless_a bee_n god_n we_o see_v these_o thing_n fall_v out_o in_o our_o day_n and_o be_v eye-witness_n of_o the_o fulfil_n of_o they_o and_o there_o follow_v another_o angel_n say_v it_o be_v fall_v it_o be_v fall_v babylon_n that_o great_a city_n for_o she_o give_v to_o all_o nation_n to_o drink_v the_o wine_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o her_o fornication_n here_o be_v set_v down_o the_o bless_a effect_n of_o the_o preach_n of_o this_o everlasting_a gospel_n which_o be_v the_o downfall_n of_o babylon_n for_o as_o when_o the_o clear_a sun_n arise_v upon_o the_o earth_n the_o thick_a mist_n and_o cloud_n be_v disperse_v even_o so_o when_o the_o bright_a beam_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v shine_v forth_o unto_o the_o world_n babylon_n that_o dark_a kingdom_n vanish_v away_o incontinent_o and_o as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o eighteen_o chapter_n chapter_n 18.1.2_o so_o soon_o as_o the_o earth_n be_v lighten_v with_o the_o glory_n of_o this_o everlasting_a gospel_n babylon_n immediate_o fall_v therefore_o now_o before_o i_o go_v any_o further_a my_o purpose_n through_o the_o assistance_n of_o god_n be_v to_o prove_v these_o five_o point_n out_o of_o this_o verse_n and_o that_o which_o follw_v unto_o the_o twenty_o chapter_n to_o wit_n first_o that_o babylon_n here_o signify_v rome_n point_n second_o that_o rome_n shall_v fall_v and_o how_o three_o that_o rome_n shall_v fall_v final_o and_o come_v to_o utter_v desolation_n in_o this_o life_n four_o by_o who_o and_o when_o it_o shall_v be_v overthrow_v last_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o utter_a ruin_n and_o overthrow_v thereof_o but_o before_o i_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v that_o babylon_n here_o be_v rome_n i_o will_v have_v it_o careful_o observe_v take_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o rome_n viz._n not_o the_o topographie_n of_o rome_n that_o be_v so_o much_o ground_n only_o as_o be_v compass_v within_o the_o wall_n of_o that_o city_n but_o the_o regiment_n government_n &_o prerogative_n that_o be_v claim_v by_o virtue_n of_o that_o monarchy_n whereof_o rome_n be_v the_o head_n by_o rome_n be_v mean_v the_o power_n and_o authority_n of_o rome_n or_o to_o speak_v plain_o by_o rome_n be_v mean_v the_o roman_a monarchy_n further_o we_o be_v here_o to_o observe_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o holy-ghost_n call_v rome_n babylon_n for_o rome_n literal_o &_o proper_o take_v be_v not_o babylon_n in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o be_v two_o diverse_a city_n one_o in_o italy_n the_o other_o in_o chaldaea_n but_o rome_n be_v call_v babylon_n mystical_o figurative_o &_o as_o the_o holyghost_n speak_v spiritual_o and_o by_o a_o kind_n of_o allusion_n babylon_n for_o as_o the_o old_a eastern_a babylon_n do_v a_o long_a time_n oppress_v the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n so_o rome_n this_o western_a babylon_n have_v long_o oppress_v the_o church_n of_o the_o christian_n as_o the_o eastern_a babylon_n do_v many_o year_n hold_v down_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o miserable_a bondage_n and_o servitude_n so_o the_o western_a babylon_n do_v a_o long_a time_n keep_v the_o christian_a church_n in_o spiritual_a thraldom_n and_o misery_n in_o which_o respect_n rome_n be_v spiritual_o compare_v to_o sodom_n and_o egypt_n chapter_n 11.8_o to_o sodom_n for_o filthiness_n and_o to_o egypt_n for_o idolatry_n and_o keep_v god_n church_n in_o spiritual_a bondage_n and_o slavery_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v the_o reason_n why_o rome_n be_v call_v babylon_n which_o be_v not_o simple_o and_o proper_o but_o after_o a_o sort_n that_o be_v by_o a_o phrase_n of_o speech_n or_o trope_n which_o they_o call_v a_o metonymy_n or_o change_v of_o name_n when_o that_o be_v give_v to_o one_o thing_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o another_o for_o the_o likeness_n of_o quality_n that_o it_o have_v with_o it_o or_o adjoin_v unto_o it_o now_o have_v show_v the_o reason_n why_o rome_n be_v call_v babylon_n and_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o rome_n we_o be_v to_o proceed_v to_o the_o first_o point_n which_o be_v to_o prove_v that_o babylon_n in_o this_o place_n signify_v rome_n which_o although_o it_o be_v grant_v of_o all_o sound_n divine_v and_o avouch_v in_o the_o write_n of_o the_o best_a learn_v both_o new_a and_o old_a so_o as_o it_o shall_v need_v no_o great_a proof_n yet_o i_o will_v add_v three_o or_o four_o reason_n out_o of_o this_o book_n to_o make_v it_o more_o plain_a and_o apparent_a first_o therefore_o i_o do_v thus_o reason_v out_o of_o the_o seventeen_o chapter_n and_o last_o verse_n chapter_n 17.18_o babylon_n be_v that_o great_a city_n which_o reign_v over_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n but_o there_o be_v no_o other_o city_n which_o do_v reign_v over_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n when_o john_n write_v this_o book_n but_o only_o rome_n therefore_o rome_n be_v babylon_n for_o as_o for_o jerusalem_n it_o be_v at_o that_o time_n make_v a_o heap_n of_o stone_n the_o first_o proposition_n be_v avouch_v by_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n expound_v unto_o john_n what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o great_a whore_n chapter_n 17.1_o who_o damnation_n he_o have_v show_v he_o before_o and_o by_o the_o woman_n which_o sit_v upon_o a_o scarlet_a colour_a beast_n the_o woman_n which_o thou_o see_v say_v the_o angel_n to_o saint_n john_n be_v the_o great_a city_n which_o reign_v over_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n that_o be_v to_o say_v rome_n or_o the_o romish_a synagogue_n and_o malignant_a church_n for_o the_o angel_n can_v not_o speak_v more_o plain_o except_o he_o shall_v have_v name_v rome_n then_o to_o say_v thus_o the_o woman_n the_o great_a whore_n of_o babylon_n be_v the_o great_a city_n which_o reign_v over_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o if_o one_o shall_v say_v the_o great_a city_n of_o england_n every_o man_n know_v that_o thereby_o be_v mean_v london_n if_o one_o shall_v say_v the_o great_a city_n of_o france_n every_o one_o know_v that_o thereby_o be_v mean_v paris_n so_o when_o the_o angel_n say_v the_o great_a city_n which_o reign_v over_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n all_o that_o live_v in_o those_o time_n know_v that_o rome_n thereby_o be_v mean_v rome_n for_o rome_n be_v the_o chief_a city_n of_o the_o monarchy_n and_o be_v put_v in_o this_o book_n for_o the_o whole_a monarchy_n and_o the_o religion_n thereof_o as_o have_v be_v say_v before_o my_o second_o reason_n be_v this_o chapter_n 17_o verse_n 5._o babylon_n be_v the_o mother_n of_o whoredom_n and_o abomination_n of_o the_o earth_n babylon_n be_v that_o great_a whore_n with_o who_o have_v commit_v fornication_n the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n chapter_n 17._o verse_n 2._o &_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o earth_n make_v drink_v with_o the_o wind_n of_o her_o fornication_n but_o rome_n &_o none_o but_o rome_n be_v such_o a_o one_o therefore_o rome_n be_v babylon_n my_o three_o argument_n be_v this_o babylon_n be_v that_o city_n which_o have_v have_v seven_o several_a goverment_n but_o only_o rome_n have_v have_v seven_o several_a kind_n of_o goverment_n therefore_o rome_n be_v babylon_n the_o proposition_n be_v prove_v from_o the_o word_n of_o the_o angel_n expound_v unto_o john_n what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o seven_o head_n of_o the_o scarlet_a

to_o the_o roman_a empire_n be_v compare_v to_o horn_n be_v because_o that_o as_o horn_n be_v the_o strength_n &_o defence_n of_o a_o beast_n wherewith_o also_o he_o push_v down_o other_o creature_n so_o the_o strength_n and_o defence_n of_o the_o roman_a empire_n and_o the_o papacy_n be_v in_o the_o kingdom_n which_o be_v subject_a unto_o they_o and_o take_v part_n with_o they_o whereby_o also_o they_o do_v mighty_o push_v at_o other_o nation_n and_o kingdom_n moreover_o we_o be_v to_o observe_v that_o whereas_o s._n john_n say_v the_o same_o horn_n which_o do_v uphold_v and_o defend_v the_o whore_n shall_v pull_v she_o down_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o same_o man_n but_o of_o their_o successor_n in_o the_o same_o kingdom_n for_o the_o king_n of_o england_n scotland_n denmark_n polonia_n and_o other_o country_n which_o give_v their_o power_n and_o authority_n unto_o the_o beast_n be_v dead_a and_o go_v if_o we_o respect_v the_o person_n of_o the_o man_n and_o those_o which_o succeed_v they_o now_o in_o these_o kingdom_n and_o pull_v down_o the_o whore_n be_v other_o person_n but_o because_o they_o succeed_v &_o govern_v in_o these_o kingdom_n they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v those_o ten_o horn_n of_o the_o beast_n then_o thus_o it_o be_v these_o ten_o king_n which_o now_o hate_v the_o harlot_n be_v call_v the_o ten_o horn_n of_o the_o beast_n not_o because_o they_o be_v any_o defence_n and_o strength_n unto_o he_o but_o because_o they_o sit_v upon_o the_o same_o throne_n of_o their_o ancestor_n which_o do_v uphold_v and_o maintain_v he_o but_o this_o one_o thing_n be_v very_o clear_a and_o apparent_a out_o of_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o angel_n that_o the_o same_o kingdom_n which_o have_v maintain_v popery_n shall_v put_v it_o down_o as_o we_o see_v already_o fulfil_v in_o england_n scotland_n denmark_n &_o the_o rest_n which_o have_v embrace_v the_o gospel_n and_o it_o be_v very_o likely_a that_o the_o other_o kingdom_n which_o as_o yet_o have_v not_o embrace_v the_o gospel_n shall_v god_n good_a time_n embrace_v it_o for_o this_o seem_v unto_o i_o to_o be_v a_o very_a good_a argument_n take_v from_o the_o word_n of_o the_o interpret_n angel_n those_o ten_o kingdom_n which_o have_v uphold_v rome_n shall_v pull_v down_o rome_n but_o france_n spain_n and_o italy_n have_v uphold_v and_o do_v uphold_v rome_n therefore_o france_n spain_n and_o italy_n shall_v pull_v down_o rome_n to_o this_o may_v be_v add_v for_o confirmation_n that_o the_o everlasting_a gospel_n shall_v be_v preach_v in_o these_o last_o day_n 14.6_o to_o every_o nation_n and_o kindred_n and_o tongue_n and_o people_n which_o i_o understand_v of_o all_o the_o nation_n of_o europe_n which_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o roman_a empire_n and_o the_o papacy_n and_o further_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v that_o the_o preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n from_o luther_n time_n shall_v publish_v god_n truth_n among_o people_n and_o nation_n and_o tongue_n 10.11_o and_o many_o king_n which_o i_o understand_v as_o before_o i_o be_o not_o ignorant_a that_o some_o good_a divine_n make_v it_o doubtful_a whether_o rome_n shall_v be_v overthrow_v by_o the_o king_n of_o europe_n only_o or_o by_o the_o turk_n also_o and_o the_o king_n of_o the_o east_n for_o i_o own_o part_n i_o dare_v not_o resolute_o determine_v of_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n to_o come_v but_o the_o event_n shall_v declare_v and_o they_o that_o live_v shall_v one_o day_n see_v it_o it_o may_v be_v the_o turk_n and_o the_o eastern_a prince_n may_v have_v some_o hand_n in_o this_o business_n for_o the_o roman_a monarchy_n do_v stretch_v far_o that_o way_n when_o it_o be_v in_o his_o high_a elevation_n but_o that_o which_o be_v allege_v of_o the_o dry_n up_o of_o the_o water_n of_o euphrates_n 12._o that_o the_o way_n of_o the_o king_n of_o the_o east_n may_v be_v prepare_v prove_v nothing_o because_o it_o be_v a_o allusion_n to_o darius_n and_o cyrus_n which_o be_v king_n of_o the_o east_n and_o take_v old_a babylon_n by_o dry_v up_o the_o water_n of_o euphrates_n and_o lead_v over_o their_o army_n as_o we_o have_v hear_v before_o i_o do_v thus_o then_o resolve_v and_o conclude_v that_o the_o turk_n and_o the_o eastern_a king_n may_v happy_o have_v some_o stroke_n in_o this_o work_n but_o it_o seem_v most_o probable_a unto_o i_o rome_n that_o the_o king_n of_o europe_n shall_v be_v the_o great_a agent_n in_o this_o action_n for_o the_o word_n be_v plain_a that_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n which_o sometime_o be_v subject_a to_o that_o

without_o all_o hope_n ever_o to_o recover_v her_o ancient_a tyranny_n but_o here_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o great_a and_o strong_a mean_n to_o

i_o do_v upon_o my_o knee_n night_n and_o day_n most_o humble_o and_o instant_o entreat_v the_o god_n of_o heaven_n that_o as_o he_o have_v put_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o our_o most_o gracious_a

with_o their_o nebb_n and_o very_o bold_o and_o confident_o prate_v of_o a_o toleration_n here_o also_o i_o do_v most_o humble_o and_o earnest_o entreat_v all_o my_o learned_a and_o godly_a brethren_n the_o minister_n and_o preacher_n of_o this_o church_n of_o england_n that_o in_o all_o their_o public_a teach_n and_o private_a proceed_n they_o will_v make_v strong_a opposition_n against_o rome_n and_o romish_a religion_n and_o i_o beseech_v the_o god_n of_o god_n that_o we_o may_v all_o join_v together_o with_o unite_a force_n to_o march_v on_o valiant_o against_o the_o army_n of_o

may_v among_o ourselves_o differ_v in_o judgement_n in_o some_o thing_n yet_o that_o there_o may_v be_v no_o breach_n of_o love_n or_o alienation_n of_o affection_n among_o we_o but_o that_o we_o

fall_n of_o rome_n even_o in_o this_o world_n now_o it_o follow_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o four_o main_a point_n which_o be_v by_o who_o and_o when_o rome_n shall_v be_v overthrow_v but_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o this_o point_n concern_v the_o person_n that_o shall_v overthrow_v rome_n we_o be_v to_o observe_v that_o s._n john_n describe_v the_o whore_n of_o babylon_n 17.4_o sit_v upon_o a_o scarlet_a colour_a beast_n have_v seven_o head_n and_o ten_o horn_n whereby_o be_v mean_v the_o roman_a monarchy_n as_o have_v be_v show_v before_o after_o this_o the_o angel_n expound_v unto_o john_n what_o the_o head_n and_o horn_n of_o the_o beast_n mean_v and_o say_v that_o the_o ten_o horn_n be_v ten_o king_n or_o ten_o kingdom_n ver_fw-la 12_o which_o yet_o have_v not_o receive_v a_o kingdom_n but_o shall_v receive_v power_n as_o king_n at_o one_o hour_n with_o the_o beast_n the_o sense_n be_v that_o these_o ten_o kingdom_n have_v not_o receive_v such_o power_n and_o authority_n under_o the_o emperor_n as_o they_o shall_v under_o the_o pope_n for_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n in_o these_o kingdom_n under_o the_o pope_n from_o that_o which_o they_o have_v be_v under_o the_o emperor_n for_o they_o receive_v far_o great_a power_n and_o they_o carry_v a_o other_o mind_n towards_o the_o papacy_n than_o the_o nation_n do_v before_o towards_o the_o empire_n for_o they_o do_v submit_v themselves_o to_o the_o papacy_n for_o conscience_n and_o love_n even_o as_o to_o the_o holy_a church_n which_o they_o never_o do_v to_o the_o empire_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v they_o have_v not_o receive_v a_o kingdom_n but_o shall_v receive_v power_n as_o king_n at_o one_o hour_n with_o the_o beast_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v simple_o but_o after_o a_o sort_n for_o they_o have_v receive_v kingdom_n under_o the_o emperor_n but_o not_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o afterward_o they_o do_v under_o the_o pope_n for_o the_o roman_a monarchy_n under_o the_o dominion_n of_o the_o pope_n be_v in_o his_o great_a height_n and_o altitude_n and_o the_o king_n of_o europe_n grow_v up_o together_o with_o the_o papacy_n in_o power_n might_n and_o dominion_n and_o s._n 13._o john_n add_v that_o these_o ten_o king_n or_o kingdom_n be_v all_o of_o one_o mind_n and_o do_v give_v their_o power_n and_o authority_n unto_o the_o beast_n that_o be_v they_o do_v with_o might_n and_o main_a labour_v to_o uphold_v the_o babylonicall_a strumpet_n but_o the_o angel_n tell_v john_n flat_o that_o the_o ten_o horn_n that_o be_v the_o ten_o kingdom_n of_o the_o empire_n which_o before_o have_v give_v their_o name_n their_o power_n and_o authority_n to_o the_o beast_n to_o uphold_v she_o and_o defend_v she_o shall_v now_o in_o these_o last_o day_n all_o change_n their_o mind_n and_o turn_v against_o she_o for_o say_v the_o angel_n to_o john_n chapter_n 17.36_o the_o ten_o horn_n which_o thou_o see_v upon_o the_o beast_n be_v they_o that_o shall_v hate_v the_o whore_n and_o make_v her_o desolate_a and_o naked_a and_o shall_v eat_v her_o flesh_n and_o burn_v she_o with_o fire_n here_o than_o it_o do_v plain_o appear_v who_o they_o be_v that_o shall_v overthrow_v rome_n and_o by_o who_o it_o shall_v be_v destroy_v to_o wit_n by_o the_o ten_o king_n of_o europe_n or_o kingdom_n of_o europe_n which_o some_o very_a learned_a do_v reckon_v up_o to_o be_v these_o england_n scotland_n germany_n france_n spain_n denmark_n sweveland_n poland_n russia_n and_o hungary_n beast_n s._n john_n word_n be_v plain_a that_o these_o kingdom_n which_o take_v part_n with_o the_o beast_n shall_v take_v against_o she_o &_o pull_v she_o down_o but_o we_o know_v that_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o europe_n do_v take_v part_n with_o she_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o europe_n shall_v take_v against_o she_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o in_o time_n france_n spain_n and_o italy_n whore_n shall_v turn_v against_o the_o beast_n we_o know_v that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v already_o turn_v against_o the_o beast_n and_o the_o beast_n have_v lose_v seven_o of_o his_o horn_n the_o eight_o which_o be_v france_n begin_v to_o be_v somewhat_o loose_a and_o to_o shake_v a_o little_a which_o if_o it_o fall_v off_o the_o rest_n will_v follow_v after_o a_o pace_n the_o reason_n why_o the_o kingdom_n which_o be_v subject_a
