The ruin of Rome: or An exposition upon the whole Revelation Wherein is plainly showed and proved, that the popish religion, together with all the power and authority of Rome, shall ebb and decay still more and more throughout all the churches of Europe, and come to an utter overthrow even in this life before the end of the world. Written especially for the comfort of Protestants, and the daunting of papists, seminary priests, Jesuits, and all that cursed rabble.

Now cometh the third, the last, and the greatest woe, which is the woe of eternal death upon all the ungodly, both in their souls and bodies for ever in the last judgement. The first woe was the Papacy. The second woe was Turkism. And this third woe is the last judgement. For it now followeth, that the seventh Angel bloweth the last trumpet: as our Lord Jesus sware before, that when the seventh Angel should blow the trumpet, chapter 10.6. there should be no more time. Therefore when we see all things fulfilled which do belong unto the sixth trumpet, it remaineth that we should every hour expect and look for the blowing of the seventh trumpet, and the end of the world. For the holy Ghost telleth us, that when the kingdom of the Pope and the Turk shall fall, and the Gospel be preached in many nations and kingdoms, that then the third woe will come anon; that is, the last judgement followeth presently upon it.

Now at the blowing of this seventh trumpet, there were great voices in heaven, saying; the kingdoms of this world are our Lords, and his Christs, and he shall reign for evermore.
