Went off finally, when God brought the Medes and Persians against his Successor, into whose Hands the Kingdom was translated. | IV. Rome, or Mystery Babylon, is foretold by the Angel to fall under a fourfold Circumstance, in respect to her Supreme Lord, or chief Head, the last Beast, by her called, Our Lord God the Pope. (1.) When he carries the Whore in State, makes War with the Saints, and overcomes them; when his Adherents say, Who is like unto the Beast? who is able to make War with him? Then He was. (2.) He is not, when the Horns shall hate the Whore, make her desolate, eat her Flesh, and burn her with Fire; And good Men join issue with them, to take away the little Horn's Dominion, and lead him into Captivity, whose Life shall be prolonged for a Season and Time, even unto the time of the End.

And the Fowls of Heaven shall be filled with their Flesh. And here is the Mind that hath Wisdom, The Beast that was, and is not, and yet is, is of the seventh Head, and is the eighth, and goeth into Perdition. V. The first Beast, or Head of the Chaldean Kingdom, or Literal Babylon, did invade Judea, besiege Jerusalem, take the City, and trample it under foot, till raised again by an Edict from the next great King of Persia. | V. The last Beast, or Head of the Roman Kingdom, called Mystery Babylon, doth invade Zion, the Gospel-Church, hath closely besieged her, and blocked up her Privileges, and trampled under foot the holy City, for a long space of Time,
