We see wickedness shall not thrive always, it shall not always be night, but the Sun shall arise at the last, Impostures shall not always abuse the world, their madness shall be made manifest at length; as Paul saith, 2 Tim. This is our Comfort, that there is an Until, a time prefixed of God, to discover, and to lay open all Impostures: And now the time is come, that most of this should be fulfilled, some of these words of God are fulfilled, the Beast is hated, and now the Beast is known to be the Beast, to be cruel, witness the blood of Saints, the Murder of Kings, those horrible acts that are allowed from Rome. The Beast I say is now discovered, and hated.
Wee see wickednesse shall not thrive alwayes, it shall not alwayes bee night, but the Sunne shall arise at the last, Impostures shal not alwayes abuse the world, their madnesse shall be made manifest at length; as Paul saith, 2 Tim. This is our Comfort, that there is an Vntill, a time prefixed of God, to discover, and to lay open all Impostures: And now the time is come, that most of this should be fulfilled, some of these words of God are fulfilled, the Beast is hated, and now the Beast is known to bee the Beast, to bee cruell, witnesse the blood of Saints, the Murther of Kings, those horrible acts that are allowed from Rome. The Beast I say is now discovered, and hated.
The Affections that are due to the Beast is hatred. If ever we hatred any thing, we may hate the state of Rome: It is a Beast, and the object of hatred, and ever was; and if ever I say we hated any thing that was deserveable of our hatred, it is that, why? do we not hate a Harlot? do we not hate an old Strumpet, an ⟨p. 48⟩old painted Strumpet? do we not hate her that is a Bawd? there was never Bawd, there was never Whore that did the thousand part of that harm, that this Bawd, this Beast, this Whore of Rome hath done, drawing so many thousand souls to hell.
