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.

And here the holy ghost saith, that all they which have a right in Christ, which is the tree of life, and endeavour to keep the commandments, shall enter in through the gates, into the new Jerusalem: but on the contrary, all ⟨p. 304⟩the rout of reprobates, whom he calleth dogs, enchanters, whoremongers, &c. shall be utterly shut out, as having nothing to do, in this everlasting city, their portion, being allotted in the infernal lake.
