Let us hear Deusbury's spirit interpreting Revel. 117. Babylon is within you, the Beast is within you, which all the world wonders after (what a wonder is this, 2that all the world should wonder after that which none of the world ever saw!) is your wills: your wisdom is the great Whore that sits upon the Beast. But why do you stay here Deusbury, go on to 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, verses, and tell us what they are? when you have done, turn to the last clause of the 19 ver. of the 1 Chap. and 1 ver. of the 4. Chap. there see how neatly your spirit have interpreted this 17 Chap. John was shown things that were to be hereafter: but it seems there were no such wills, hearts, nor wisdom before John, but all the wickedness of men was to be after John. Is this the best Interpretation your spirit can make?
