Hereby the Saints in this present Generation, may understand three things, which are necessary for them to know, and to do, viz.
1. The Churches, Ministers, and Prophets of the LORD are to bear their Testimony, not only against the Power, Throne, and great Authority which the Dragon (who is the Devil, Chap. 20.2.) gave unto the Beast, Chap. 13.2. but also against all the Kings of the Earth, who have received their power at the same time with the Beast, and give their power and strength unto the Beast, Chap. 17.12, 13. to wit, those ten Kings of the fourth Monarchy, ⟨p. 6⟩who received a Political and Ecclesiastical Power one hour (or at the same time) with the Beast, and have given their moral power and natural strength unto the Beast; and principally against the Politic and Ecclesiastic power of the eighth Beast, who is also one of the seven Kings who goeth into perdition.
