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.

CHAP. II. and III.
I Have thought good to handle these two Chapters together, and in a general and compendious manner to set down the most special matters contained in them both: not meaning to insist upon every particular, both because these two chapters are plain, and easy to understand, & also because they have been sufficiently beaten upon by many.
