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.

Or else it may be a phrase of speech, which they call an ironical concession: as in another place the holy ghost saith to the young man.1 Walk in the ways of thine own heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know that for all these things, 2God will bring thee unto judgement: So likewise in other places.

After this, here is blessedness pronounced upon all such as keep the commandments of God, and it is said, that there right is in the tree of life, not meaning thereby, that their keeping of the commandments is the cause of their right in Christ: but only an effect or consequence. For our good works do not go before, as causes of our justification: but follow after, as declarations of the same. For by doing we are not made just, in the sight of God, but only declared to be just, in the sight of men.
After this, heere is blessednesse pronounced vpon all such as keepe the commandements of God, and it is said, that there right is in the tree of life, not meaning thereby, that their keeping of the commandements is the cause of their right in Christ: but onely an effect or consequence. For our good works doe not goe beefore, as causes of our iustification: but follow after, as declarations of the same. For by doing wee are not made iust, in the sight of God, but onely declared to bee iust, in the sight of men.
