2. That grievous Sore will cause such exquisite Torment, and pain unto the Men that had the Mark of the Beast, and upon them which worshipped his Image, That the Smoke of their Torment ascendeth up for ever and ever, chap. 14.9, 10, 11. and when the Kings of the Earth, the Merchants of the Earth, and the Shipmasters, Sailors, and all the Company of Ships, and as many as Trade by Sea, shall see the Smoke of her Burning, and the Torment of her Worshippers, they will ⟨p. 44⟩stand afar off and Cry, Alas, alas! for in One Hour she is made Desolate, chap. 18.18, 19.
2. That grievous Sore will cause such exquisite Torment, and pain unto the Men that had the Mark of the Beast, and upon them which worshipped his Image, That the Smoke of their Torment ascendeth up for ever and ever, chap. 14.9, 10, 11. and when the Kings of the Earth, the Merchants of the Earth, and the Shipmasters, Saylers, and all the Company of Ships, and as many as Trade by Sea, shall see the Smoke of her Burning, and the Torment of her Worshippers, they will ⟨p. 44⟩stand afar off and Cry, Alas, alas! for in One Hour she is made Desolate, chap. 18.18, 19.
But there is no such noisome and grievous Sore fallen upon the Men, that had the Mark of the Beast, nor upon them that Worshipped his Image. The Popes, Cardinals, Prelates, Priests, &c. nor the Papists, who worship Images, Crucifixes, Crosses, Altars, &c. have not been so tormented by any plagues of God, that the Smoke of their Torment hath Ascended for ever and ever; Nor have the Kings of the Earth, the Merchants of the Earth, nor they that Trade by Sea so seen the smoke of he• Burning, as to stand afar off for fear of he• Torment, Concluding and Confessing that in one hour she is made Desolate; Read ch. 18.9, 10, 15, 17, 18, 19. And therefore I again conclude, (being the more confirmed in my Opinion, by these Arguments) That the First Angel hath not yet poured out his Vial: And if the First Vial be not yet poured out, then none of the Seven Vials of the Last Plagues are as yet poured out.
