The first beast which ariseth out of the Sea, Apoc. 13. 1.
The second beast which ariseth out of the Earth, Apoc. 13. 11. and the false Prophet which ministereth to the second beast that goeth to destruction, ⟨p. 14⟩Apoc. 16. 13. (19. 20.) by which are meant (as I conceive) Urbs Romana, Imperium Romanum, Pontifex Romanus, and Clerus Romanus. The two beasts in Cap. 13. verse 11. are plainly distinguished, and that distinction must necessarily be observed in the seventeenth Chapter. Likewise for the great beast mentioned in the third and seventh verses of that Chapter is the same with the first beast of the thirteenth Chapter as appeareth by the like description of the seven heads and ten horns: the lesser beasts mentioned in the eighth and eleventh verses, (which is the last head of the former) can be no other but the second beast mentioned in the thirteenth Chapter, verse 22 who revived the Image of the former, i. e. of the Empire, and made all to admire and adore it.
