THE REVELATION INTERPRETED:

Chap. XIII.

PAssing by Caesars adored Image: with the Time a­mounting to about 1700. yeares past, since their up­rising, as hereby appeares giving the seaven Heads and ten Horns: un­till its setting, that Monarchies period, RATHER proceeding with these, to shew the Truth, who the Founder of great BRJTTAINS unhappie faction, as the Holy Ghost here gives to understand [Page 4] so plainly, That none needs to aske, whose de­scription This, of this Sea-monster no other then the Admyrals-Office: where the wa­ters having the priority, Thus shewes:

Verse, I.

And J stood upon the Sand of the SEA, and saw a Beast rise up out of the Sea, having seven heads, and ten horns, and upon his horns ten Crownes, and upon his heads the Names of BLASPHEMY: The Dragon gi­ving him his power and great authority: name­ly, George Ʋiliers, created Duke of Buck­ingham.

VVhere follows the Names given to Ships, one cald the Leopard, another the Beare, and the Lyon, and the like, as not unknowne. vers.

And so of his deadly wound given at Porchmouth, that addored Minnion, for two seven yeares who was so followed of every one, and admired: Of whose Large gifts Thus farther:

Verse. III.

And J saw one of his heads (as it were) wounded to death, and all the VVorld admi­red the BEAST: And his deadly Wound was healed. And there was given him a Mouth speaking great Things, and Blasphemie: And power was given him to con­tinue 42. moneths; and he opened his mouth in Blasphemy, &c.

VVhere shewes here, besides the healing of that foule Soare the Kings-Evill, Porch­mouths BLOVV, by a Butchers knife given, how Cured. also what an insaciable Mouth by him opened; daily fed with such Gifes, Offices, and Titles of Honor not a few; wanting NO kindred to bee supplyed. This aspiering man Buckingham, from the Beast deriving his Name, so much bound to the Dragon his Patron, rather then to Saint George. This supporter of the Spa­nish FACTION, colour'd or clok'd un­der Arminisme: That beyond expectation [Page 6] ter ten years, his Fathers VNLƲKYE Favourite who continned his too, from 1625. March, untill 1628. August, two and forty Monthes, or three Yeares and halfe before his Pay receiv'd, not behind with it Then Being as not unknown fore-warnd OF that very Moneth, Caesar, as he fore­told of the Jdes of March.

VVhere serving for both Meridians shews. The french K: for his Blasphemous Tongue also how Rewarded, who gives the ten HORNS Crown'd. That in the Yeare, 1610. Likewise was slaine, whose Faction revived again or continu'd too. As by the Power of the KEYES, Conjured up such SPIRITS or Factions set a foote, begeting in KINGDOMS such desperate VVARRES and doings; where The one NOT more suddenly in that Manner taken away, Then the [Page 7] Other remaining in Prison so long: waiting His appointed Time, as extant upon RECORD, sometime made known to him: But no more of that NOW. But of his Sorceries and Witchcrafts as revealed here, or miracles.

VVhere farthermore, for the Trea­surers-Office thus, usurp'd by the Clergie, (verse 11.) And J beheld another beast comming out of the Earth, with two Horns like a Lamb, spake like the Dragon, and exerciseth all the Power of the first Beast, &c.

And so no farther, of This Canonized expert DOCTOR or Saint, inspired by the Red Dragon, (with such a gift in healing,) by whom this deadly Wound hea­led, worse then when Buckingham was live­ing. The Number of whose Name, even (VJS-COƲNT Ʋ ƲJLERS) as count the Number of the BRJTTJSH-Beast, [Page 8] Namely 666. These numerall Letters HJS: VIC LƲ Ʋ ƲI, viscount vvilers: Together with the weight of Solomons gold Yearly 666. Ta­lents, (Chron. 9. Chap.) Included in those Characters. Of a truth directly pointed at great Brittains Revenue and Customes rather; amounting to about six Hundred Thousand pounds per annum: Put on this Account, &c.

And so much for this peice finished in such hast: The last dayes story. Dedicated to HIM that hath Ʋnderstanding and Eares, to weigh it too: The vanity setting forth, and instabillity of WORLD­LY Things, or perferment in this Admirable BEAST: his rising, and falling, Whose power To the wonder of all Continuing from the Yeare, 1625. March (first of this present Reigne:) untill August, 1628. As afore-shewed, even the Dukes due 42. MONETHS: And concerning the TREASVRERS-Office ingrossed by the CLERGY, our HIGH-Priest, [Page 9] horned like the Lamb, (to wit) The two Arch-bishop-pricks, voyced like the old Red Dragon. That wonder in Hea­ven whose place found no more there: Stileing Themselves like the Arch-angell, no lesse.

Aud thus passing on: from That SEA-Wonder, to this VVonder com­ing out of the Earth; faining (as it were) Himself to bee Elias: When Bals Priests slaine, and to say the Truth in this comes not short; He the occasion of their Ruine, the Bishops their Downfall: And for such, Fire descending from Heaven, witnesse the Wrath of GOD; as fire and sword, who can gaine-say it, but HEE the Author thereof doubtlesse, And the day of Iudgement too: hastend it, not far off.

SO farther, as here Noted or Signified for the Time of Easter Thus, or the RE­SƲRRECTION-Feast: VVhen [Page 7] such a Bloody reigne beganne, Namely; VVherein that abomination (the cause of these Judgements) Idolatry again set up, directly in these expressed: And all whose Names are Not written in the Booke of Life, of the Lambe slaine from the begining of the VVORLD; shall worship or obey HIM: As againe, this for another wit­nesse of the aforesaid Feast; Peters cutting Off that Mans Eares, againe healed. Even pointed at, as cryed here. JF ANY MAN HAVE AN EARE, Let him heare: Verse, He that Leads into Captivity, shall goe into Captivity; and hee that killeth, shall be killed. (as much to say) As some want their Eares, So others their Ʋnderstanding more, That discerne Not These.

VVhere shewes, unto such Cruelty, and Blood-thirstynesse, how this man added Blasphemies-madnesse: As these gi­ving [Page 3] to understand, saying; That hee hath Power to give LIFE, BREATH, and SPEECH, &c. verse. (as it were) Because the Keys of the Bottumlesse pit His, where gold so current: Therefore in Him all Live and Move, &c. fearefull to bee Named or Spoken.

And these are The JMAGES those Angels adored also: And as for the Beast that had the deadly VVound with the Sword and did Live, (or was healed) be­sides the Faction continued, points with­all at the great Plague, When the Angels Sword so suddenly sheathed, 1625. with worse Plagues accompanied; The advancers of Jdolatry and Tyrranny:

As here farther more aludes to great BABYLONS Proclamations of The golden JMAGE; He that would not [Page 12] fall downe before it, to be killed: (as much to say) ALTARS served, and bowed unto, &c. And at last, what Measure tbey meted to Others, served with the same Themselves: Sometime that were so Ob­serv'd, Feared and Flattered; This Sea-god: And god of the Windes like, Dra­gon-like by Sea and Land roaring, setting KINGDOMES together by the Eares: Breathing and Thundering out LYING and BLASPHEMIE, as They please, without Controule: And so Hee, VVho hath Ʋnderstanding; needs NO farther to wonder or bee informed, what These revealed LAST Monsters are:

The Signes infalible of the Last day at hand: VVhere besides Caesars golden Image, adored; gold made their god: (verse) aluding to the That: Ʋsed too for the [Page 13] KINGS-EVILL so dangerous to bee LOST or VVanting. And as here, Jdolatry and Covetousnesse both exprest: So deified Caesar, his transla­ting of the Yeare, points thereat: Those 365 dayes of the Yeare: Like Enoch dayes also 365, hee translated, or That was NOT: whose Successor Eternity, like Methuselah, as Augustus out­reigned all the rest, and That succeeded Him untimely Cut off.

And againe, as Eternity preceding Time, so K: James his 60 yeares reign, before his NOVV aged 46; bearing Times marke or Seal 1646. Time to bee Longer: HIS power put downe too: And so NO farther of the Dragons old quarrell to Saint George, in advancing One of That Name, or Seating in the [Page 41] Saddle such a gracelesse ONE: break­ing his owne Neck: And ruine of the KINGDOME. This New adored Saint, (as no doubt Canonized) Saint George the second, saluted with seven­fold Blasphemous superscriptions dayly such, and the Like made upon His NAME (His grace): Where­as thrice SIX 666. The restlesse Number thereof. Here unto the Ʋ ƲLgare not referred or directed: But he which Ʋnderstands Misteryes of State to Him:

Proverbs XVI. How much better it is to get wisdome Then gold: And to get understanding rather to chosen then Silver.

[Page] And thus wild as the Dragon: Hee with Sathans Marke in the head, of the old Serpents cut, (Geneses. 3.) By some MERMAYDE, as this Blasphe­MER: spewd up doubtlesse; so from Them his inchanting Noats had, of Menacing such, reaching from Earth to Heaven.
