A03335	Mystical babylon, or Papall Rome A treatise vpon those words, Apocal. 18.2. It is fallen, it is fallen Babylon, &c. In which the wicked, and miserable condition of Rome, as shee now is in her present Babylonian estate, and as she shall be in her future ineuitable ruine, is fully discouered: and sundry controuersiall points of religion, betwixt the Protestants, and the Papists, are briefly discussed. By Theophilus Higgons, rector of the parochiall Church of Hunton, neere Maidstone in Kent.	Higgons, Theophilus, 1578?-1659.	1624 (1624)	STC 13455; ESTC S118140	129,351	289

course_n for_o i_o find_v three_o several_a opinion_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n upon_o this_o point_n 1._o the_o first_o give_v all_o temporal_a dominion_n direct_o unto_o the_o pope_n as_o the_o principal_a sovereign_n of_o the_o world_n from_o who_o all_o prince_n dependent_o hold_v their_o crown_n these_o be_v true_a babylonian_n indeed_o but_o all_o such_o be_v actual_a traitor_n against_o the_o dignity_n and_o supreme_a honour_n of_o the_o crown_n of_o prince_n under_o who_o they_o live_v 2._o the_o second_o give_v all_o spiritual_a power_n not_o temporal_a to_o the_o pope_n but_o yet_o indirect_o draw_v on_o a_o temporal_a power_n over_o prince_n in_o ordine_fw-la ad_fw-la spiritualia_fw-la in_fw-la ordine_fw-la ad_fw-la deum_fw-la etc._n etc._n viz._n that_o the_o pope_n may_v depose_v a_o heretical_a or_o a_o irregular_a prince_n from_o his_o crown_n as_o have_v authority_n over_o he_o in_o this_o case_n to_o deprive_v he_o of_o his_o estate_n all_o such_o babylonian_n be_v habitual_a traitor_n dispose_v and_o always_o resolve_v in_o preparation_n of_o heart_n to_o execute_v any_o papal_a sentence_n of_o deposition_n as_o far_o as_o they_o can_v against_o their_o own_o natural_a lord_n and_o sovereign_n prince_n 3._o the_o three_o opinion_n deny_v the_o second_o of_o these_o as_o the_o second_o deny_v the_o first_o give_v a_o mere_a spiritual_a authority_n unto_o the_o pope_n to_o excommunicate_v a_o prince_n for_o his_o correction_n and_o salvation_n and_o to_o bring_v he_o to_o a_o penitent_a submission_n unto_o god_n and_o his_o church_n but_o without_o any_o such_o temporal_a effect_n as_o the_o second_o opinion_n do_v enforce_v and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n in_o this_o kingdom_n so_o wise_o devise_v and_o necessary_o enact_v though_o it_o subvert_v and_o contradict_v the_o first_o and_o second_o opinion_n yet_o it_o leave_v this_o last_o and_o three_o opinion_n untouched_a neither_o affirm_v nor_o deny_v it_o because_o all_o moderate_a papist_n that_o treat_v of_o the_o pope_n power_n as_o namely_o doctor_n barkley_n and_o the_o more_o mild_a babylonian_n in_o england_n deny_v it_o in_o the_o first_o and_o second_o degree_n do_v yet_o constant_o affirm_v it_o in_o the_o three_o but_o these_o man_n find_v least_o grace_n in_o babylon_n which_o be_v more_o delight_v with_o the_o second_o opinion_n and_o chief_o with_o the_o first_o and_o therefore_o we_o see_v that_o as_o the_o first_o grow_v daily_o more_o strong_a in_o rome_n so_o the_o second_o have_v late_o get_v more_o advantage_n in_o france_n in_o the_o minority_n of_o the_o king_n by_o the_o subtle_a oration_n of_o cardinal_n peron_n which_o our_o most_o excellent_a sovereign_n have_v clear_o refute_v by_o his_o divine_a and_o learned_a pen._n to_o conclude_v now_o the_o three_o proof_n of_o my_o assertion_n you_o may_v perceive_v that_o the_o large_a dominion_n of_o babylon_n which_o the_o jesuit_n true_o find_v in_o rome_n but_o false_o conceive_v it_o to_o be_v there_o within_o a_o very_a little_a time_n only_o before_o her_o ruin_n do_v appertain_v unto_o the_o church_n and_o not_o unto_o the_o city_n but_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o it_o be_v the_o place_n wherein_o the_o pope_n do_v reign_n so_o that_o in_o it_o his_o successor_n must_v continue_v even_o until_o the_o time_n of_o antichrist_n when_o they_o shall_v be_v expel_v out_o of_o the_o confine_n thereof_o and_o there_o they_o shall_v exercise_v their_o domination_n not_o only_o with_o saint_n peter_n key_n but_o also_o with_o his_o two_o sword_n this_o be_v the_o power_n of_o babylon_n which_o the_o revelation_n do_v true_o foretell_v and_o which_o these_o jesuit_n can_v not_o discern_v therein_o but_o as_o humane_a reason_n disapprove_v their_o idle_a conceit_n and_o naked_a conjecture_n so_o certain_a experience_n join_v with_o divine_a prediction_n do_v confirm_v our_o assertion_n in_o this_o point_n and_o so_o i_o come_v unto_o a_o four_o and_o a_o more_o important_a proof_n thereof_o fourthly_a therefore_o i_o prove_v it_o out_o of_o the_o conformity_n betwixt_o the_o prediction_n of_o saint_n paul_n and_o the_o revelation_n of_o saint_n john_n both_o contain_v one_o sense_n of_o matter_n under_o different_a form_n of_o word_n the_o point_n itself_o be_v one_o as_o proceed_v from_o one_o spirit_n first_o then_o it_o be_v the_o prediction_n of_o saint_n paul_n that_o antichrist_n shall_v be_v reveal_v

any_o sovereignety_n and_o dominion_n which_o bellarmine_n perhaps_o may_v pretend_v that_o antichrist_n shall_v not_o permit_v he_o actual_o to_o exercise_v in_o that_o time_n but_o we_o affirm_v by_o demonstration_n of_o the_o scripture_n that_o the_o ten_o king_n shall_v deprive_v he_o of_o that_o power_n in_o the_o world_n which_o he_o former_o enjoy_v by_o their_o concession_n which_o

ensnare_v with_o the_o peril_n of_o true_o popish_a error_n the_o second_o point_n therefore_o be_v this_o that_o all_o particularity_n which_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o popery_n in_o the_o censure_n and_o judgement_n of_o some_o man_n be_v not_o so_o in_o truth_n but_o be_v so_o esteem_v by_o reason_n of_o their_o ignorance_n and_o precipitation_n and_o for_o want_v of_o experience_n in_o the_o

the_o intemperate_a anabaptist_n condemn_v the_o baptism_n of_o child_n as_o the_o invention_n of_o a_o pope_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o pestilent_a trinitarian_n profane_o teach_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n be_v the_o fable_n of_o a_o pope_n and_o that_o therefore_o this_o popish_a mystery_n be_v apt_o signify_v in_o the_o triple_a crown_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o certain_a and_o indubious_a distinction_n of_o a_o bishop_n and_o a_o presbyter_n the_o first_o have_v a_o paternal_a superiority_n over_o the_o second_o in_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o

against_o all_o age_n and_o all_o succession_n in_o the_o same_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o few_o innocent_a convenient_a ceremony_n in_o this_o church_n issue_v from_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o reverend_a learned_a and_o holy_a father_n be_v scandalize_v with_o the_o contemptuous_a name_n of_o popery_n but_o by_o who_o by_o man_n common_o of_o unlearned_a heart_n strong_a passion_n and_o weak_a judgement_n so_o that_o as_o i_o observe_v before_o whatsoever_o thing_n they_o dislike_v it_o be_v popery_n and_o whatsoever_o person_n they_o distaste_n he_o be_v popish_a in_o their_o poor_a conceit_n much_o like_a though_o not_o in_o heretical_a opinion_n yet_o in_o simple_a carriage_n unto_o the_o follower_n of_o artemon_n who_o teach_v that_o christ_n be_v a_o pure_a man_n without_o any_o divine_a nature_n and_o pretend_v that_o this_o true_a and_o ancient_a doctrine_n be_v first_o corrupt_v by_o zepherine_n a_o bishop_n of_o rome_n as_o eusebius_n do_v relate_v l._n 5._o c._n 25._o so_o ancient_a be_v this_o course_n to_o end_v this_o point_n therefore_o i_o wish_v all_o man_n of_o ingenious_a mind_n to_o conceive_v wise_o of_o popery_n what_o be_v so_o to_o be_v esteem_v and_o all_o man_n of_o religious_a heart_n to_o detest_v it_o with_o a_o good_a conscience_n ground_v upon_o a_o sufficient_a knowledge_n the_o three_o and_o last_o point_n be_v this_o that_o we_o can_v probable_o conceive_v by_o any_o deduction_n of_o reason_n in_o humane_a discourse_n that_o all_o and_o singular_a article_n of_o popery_n which_o be_v indeed_o erroneous_a and_o may_v

variable_a &_o contrary_a judgement_n of_o learned_a man_n in_o some_o matter_n true_o deserve_v reformation_n until_o the_o final_a dissolution_n of_o this_o present_a world_n so_o that_o in_o this_o case_n we_o must_v bear_v what_o we_o can_v amend_v and_o rather_o enjoy_v our_o solid_a unity_n in_o thing_n of_o great_a importance_n then_o upon_o every_o difference_n in_o thing_n of_o lesser_a

have_v i_o not_o in_o the_o perpetual_a course_n of_o this_o sermon_n upon_o incident_a passage_n take_v some_o occasion_n by_o the_o way_n to_o make_v application_n of_o the_o several_a point_n unto_o your_o heart_n to_o show_v you_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n in_o his_o ordination_n of_o this_o fall_n his_o love_n of_o his_o church_n in_o his_o prediction_n of_o this_o fall_n his_o

here_o be_v a_o admonition_n unto_o such_o as_o decline_v from_o the_o comfortable_a truth_n of_o god_n word_n unto_o the_o dark_a superstition_n of_o babylonian_a error_n to_o consider_v well_o and_o
