Antichrist stormed, or, Mystery Babylon the great whore, and great city, proved to be the present Church of Rome wherein all objections are fully answered : to which is added, the time of the end, or a clear explanation of Scripture prophecies, with the judgment of divers learned men concerning the final ruin of the Romish Church, that it will be in this present age : together with an account of the two witnesses, who they are, with their killing, resurrection & ascension : also an examination and confutation of what Mr. Jurieu hath lately written concerning the effusion of the vials ... : likewise a brief review of D. Tho. Goodwins exposition of the 11th chapter of the Revelations, concerning the witnesses, and of that street in which they should lie slain, proving it to be meant of Great Britain : and a brief collection of divers strange prophecies, some very ancient / by Benj. Keach ... ; to which is annexed, a short treatise in two parts : 1. The calculation of Scripture numbers by Scripture only, without the help of humane history, 2.

Thus far the matter is determined according to the Prophecy; i. e. Whenever the 7th King, asserted to be the Christian Emperors Government expired, viz. by a civil death, or the cessation of the Imperial Name and Power, immediately the eighth King according to the Prophecy must succeed, and bear up the Roman City in grandeur, and whoever hath born up that City in Supremacy, since that time, must be according to Prophecy that eighth King, i. e. the Beast. Now I appeal to all the World what year that was when the Western Imperial Name fell, and it is known in all History to be the year of our Lord 475. — For in the wonderful disposes of God, no one hath claimed a Title of Empire from that City since that year, but the Pope.
