MY Warrant to give this Call to the Kings of the Earth is that Prophecy, Rev. 17.16. And the ten Horns, which thou sawest upon the BEAST, these shall hate the Whore, and shall make her desolate, and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her with Fire. The ten Horns are those ten Kings, which had formerly agreed, and given their Kingdom, Power, and Strength unto the Beast, Rev. 17.12, 13, 17. until the Words of God shall be fulfilled. These ten horns are the European Kings of Italy, Spain, Germany, France, England, &c. who have formerly submitted themselves and their Kingdoms unto the BEAST (the Popes of Rome) and to the Church of Rome (that great Whore and Mother of Harlots) As was here fore-Prophesied, and as all Historians have testified. But it is the Revealed Will of God recorded in the Scripture of Truth, That the ten Horns shall hate the Whore, &c. And upon this Scripture Ground I take this humble boldness to give this CALL unto the Kings of the European World to hate the Whore, &c. And the Reasons, which I shall humbly Propose to them are these, viz. 1. Because it is the Revealed Will of God that they should so do (in this very Scripture, Rev. 17.16,) and They shall do so. 2. Because, the great Whore (the Church of Rome) hath given her golden Cup, full of Abomination and filthiness of her Fornication, into the Hands of the Kings of the Earth, and caused them to drink, and they and the Inhabitants of the ⟨p. 31⟩Earth have been made drunk with the Wine of HER Fornication, Rev. 17.1.2, 4. 3. Because SHE (the Church of Rome) hath Reigned over the Kings of the Earth, Rev. 17.18. Deposing Emperors, and Kings; putting down one, and setting up another, at the Pope's Pleasure (who is HER Head, Lord, and Law-giver) as hath been proved, pag. 3.10, 11. of this Treatise: and appears(a) 4. Because SHE hath shed the blood of the Prophets, Saints, and Martyrs of Jesus, Rev. 16, 6, 7. and 17.6. and 18.24. Therefore Reward her even as she Rewarded you; and double to her double, according to her Work, Rev. 18.1, 2, 3, 5 6, 7, 8, 20, 21-24. And of all the Nations in Europe, no Kings, or Kingdoms have more just Cause to hate, and to be Avenged on Mystery, Babylon the great, the Mother of Harlots, that great WHORE, the Church of Rome, and her Head the Pope, that BEAST, and the Roman-Priests, the false Prophet, than this our Nation, King, and Kingdom;
