You are here presented with a Revived Poem, with such Additions and Enlargements as makes it very different from the First Impression. It is suited to the Present State of the Protestant Church, showing the Causes of her present Calamity, with an Enumeration of some Prevailing Sins; the Plots and Contrivances of ROME against ZION; the Marks of the Antichristian Beast and Scarlet Whore, with her Arraignment and Condemnation, (illustrated in difficult places with Marginal Notes.) Also some probable Discoveries of the Churches Redemption, and the approaching Glory of the Latter Day.

We have now a plain Prospect (by the Gracious Discoveries of Providence) of those Horrid and Execrable Plots, which the restless Adversary has contrived against ⟨image 3⟩the Peace and very Being of ZION, and which were much in the dark when my Muse first bewailed its Condition, and suspected that this Epidemical Mischief (now Revealed) was then a hatching.
