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. Upon the witnesses, giving light to the whole book.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 ruine 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 & ascention : also an examination and confutation of what Mr. Jurieu hath lately written concerning the effusion of the vials ... : likewise a brief review of D.

Then saith he, […] may justly conclude, that as it was promised of […] in the Type, it shall be much more in the Antityp• viz. That the glory of the latter House should exceed the glory of the former, which in the Ty•• was fulfilled by Christ's Personal presence ther• according to that promise, The desire of all N•ti•• ⟨p. 145⟩[…]; and I will fill this House with glory, saith […] of Hosts, Hag. 2. 7.

For since the •ime that the pretended Protestant Plot was talked •f, and as they said discovered, and several worthy Christians Executed, as the ever Renowned William Lord Russel, Sheriff Cornish, the Noble Earl […] Essex, Col. Sidney, and that godly Woman and Martyr Mrs. Gaunt, &c.
