THE REVELATION INTERPRETED : By the LADY ELEANOR . Chap. XIII . PAssing by Caesars adored Image : with the Time amounting to about 1700. yeares past , since their uprising , as hereby appeares giving the seaven Heads and ten Horns : untill its setting , that Monarchies period , RATHER proceeding with these , to shew the Truth , who the Founder of great BRJTTAINS unhappie faction , as the Holy Ghost here gives to understand so plainly , That none needs to aske , whose description This , of this Sea-monster no other then the Admyrals-Office : where the waters having the priority , Thus shewes : Verse , I. And J stood upon the Sand of the SEA , and saw a Beast rise up out of the Sea , having seven heads , and ten horns , and upon his horns ten Crownes , and upon his heads the Names of BLASPHEMY : The Dragon giving him his power and great authority : namely , George Viliers , created Duke of Buckingham . VVhere follows the Names given to Ships , one cald the Leopard , another the Beare , and the Lyon , and the like , as not unknowne . vers. And so of his deadly wound given at Porchmouth , that addored Minnion , for two seven yeares who was so followed of every one , and admired : Of whose Large gifts Thus farther : Verse . III. And J saw one of his heads ( as it were ) wounded to death , and all the VVorld admired the BEAST : And his deadly Wound was healed . And there was given him a Mouth speaking great Things , and Blasphemie : And power was given him to continue 42. moneths ; and he opened his mouth in Blasphemy , &c. VVhere shewes here , besides the healing of that foule Soare the Kings-Evill , Porchmouths BLOVV , by a Butchers knife given , how Cured . also what an insaciable Mouth by him opened ; daily fed with such Gifes , Offices , and Titles of Honor not a few ; wanting NO kindred to bee supplyed . This aspiering man Buckingham , from the Beast deriving his Name , so much bound to the Dragon his Patron , rather then to Saint George . This supporter of the Spanish FACTION , colour'd or clok'd under Arminisme : That beyond expectation ter ten years , his Fathers VNLVKYE Favourite who continned his too , from 1625. March , untill 1628. August , two and forty Monthes , or three Yeares and halfe before his Pay receiv'd , not behind with it Then Being as not unknown fore-warnd OF that very Moneth , Caesar , as he foretold of the Jdes of March . VVhere serving for both Meridians shews . The french K : for his Blasphemous Tongue also how Rewarded , who gives the ten HORNS Crown'd . That in the Yeare , 1610. Likewise was slaine , whose Faction revived again or continu'd too . As by the Power of the KEYES , Conjured up such SPIRITS or Factions set a foote , begeting in KINGDOMS such desperate VVARRES and doings ; where The one NOT more suddenly in that Manner taken away , Then the Other remaining in Prison so long : waiting His appointed Time , as extant upon RECORD , sometime made known to him : But no more of that NOW . But of his Sorceries and Witchcrafts as revealed here , or miracles . VVhere farthermore , for the Treasurers-Office thus , usurp'd by the Clergie , ( verse 11. ) And J beheld another beast comming out of the Earth , with two Horns like a Lamb , spake like the Dragon , and exerciseth all the Power of the first Beast , &c. And so no farther , of This Canonized expert DOCTOR or Saint , inspired by the Red Dragon , ( with such a gift in healing , ) by whom this deadly Wound healed , worse then when Buckingham was liveing . The Number of whose Name , even ( VJS-COVNT VVJLERS ) as count the Number of the BRJTTJSH-Beast , Namely 666. These numerall Letters HJS : VIC LVVVI , viscount vvilers : Together with the weight of Solomons gold Yearly 666. Talents , ( Chron. 9. Chap. ) Included in those Characters . Of a truth directly pointed at great Brittains Revenue and Customes rather ; amounting to about six Hundred Thousand pounds per annum : Put on this Account , &c. And so much for this peice finished in such hast : The last dayes story . Dedicated to HIM that hath Vnderstanding and Eares , to weigh it too : The vanity setting forth , and instabillity of WORLDLY Things , or perferment in this Admirable BEAST : his rising , and falling , Whose power To the wonder of all Continuing from the Yeare , 1625. March ( first of this present Reigne : ) untill August , 1628. As afore-shewed , even the Dukes due 42. MONETHS : And concerning the TREASVRERS-Office ingrossed by the CLERGY , our HIGH-Priest , horned like the Lamb , ( to wit ) The two Arch-bishop-pricks , voyced like the old Red Dragon . That wonder in Heaven whose place found no more there : Stileing Themselves like the Arch-angell , no lesse . And thus passing on : from That SEA-Wonder , to this VVonder coming out of the Earth ; faining ( as it were ) Himself to bee Elias : When Bals Priests slaine , and to say the Truth in this comes not short ; He the occasion of their Ruine , the Bishops their Downfall : And for such , Fire descending from Heaven , witnesse the Wrath of GOD ; as fire and sword , who can gaine-say it , but HEE the Author thereof doubtlesse , And the day of Iudgement too : hastend it , not far off . SO farther , as here Noted or Signified for the Time of Easter Thus , or the RESVRRECTION-Feast : VVhen such a Bloody reigne beganne , Namely ; VVherein that abomination ( the cause of these Judgements ) Idolatry again set up , directly in these expressed : And all whose Names are Not written in the Booke of Life , of the Lambe slaine from the begining of the VVORLD ; shall worship or obey HIM : As againe , this for another witnesse of the aforesaid Feast ; Peters cutting Off that Mans Eares , againe healed . Even pointed at , as cryed here . JF ANY MAN HAVE AN EARE , Let him heare : Verse , He that Leads into Captivity , shall goe into Captivity ; and hee that killeth , shall be killed . ( as much to say ) As some want their Eares , So others their Vnderstanding more , That discerne Not These . VVhere shewes , unto such Cruelty , and Blood-thirstynesse , how this man added Blasphemies-madnesse : As these giving to understand , saying ; That hee hath Power to give LIFE , BREATH , and SPEECH , &c. verse . ( as it were ) Because the Keys of the Bottumlesse pit His , where gold so current : Therefore in Him all Live and Move , &c. fearefull to bee Named or Spoken . And these are The JMAGES those Angels adored also : And as for the Beast that had the deadly VVound with the Sword and did Live , ( or was healed ) besides the Faction continued , points withall at the great Plague , When the Angels Sword so suddenly sheathed , 1625. with worse Plagues accompanied ; The advancers of Jdolatry and Tyrranny : As here farther more aludes to great BABYLONS Proclamations of The golden JMAGE ; He that would not fall downe before it , to be killed : ( as much to say ) ALTARS served , and bowed unto , &c. And at last , what Measure they meted to Others , served with the same Themselves : Sometime that were so Observ'd , Feared and Flattered ; This Sea-god : And god of the Windes like , Dragon-like by Sea and Land roaring , setting KINGDOMES together by the Eares : Breathing and Thundering out LYING and BLASPHEMIE , as They please , without Controule : And so Hee , VVho hath Vnderstanding ; needs NO farther to wonder or bee informed , what These revealed LAST Monsters are : The Signes infalible of the Last day at hand : VVhere besides Caesars golden Image , adored ; gold made their god : ( verse ) aluding to the That : Vsed too for the KINGS-EVILL so dangerous to bee LOST or VVanting . And as here , Jdolatry and Covetousnesse both exprest : So deified Caesar , his translating of the Yeare , points thereat : Those 365 dayes of the Yeare : Like Enoch dayes also 365 , hee translated , or That was NOT : whose Successor Eternity , like Methuselah , as Augustus outreigned all the rest , and That succeeded Him untimely Cut off . And againe , as Eternity preceding Time , so K : James his 60 yeares reign , before his NOVV aged 46 ; bearing Times marke or Seal 1646. Time to bee Longer : HIS power put downe too : And so NO farther of the Dragons old quarrell to Saint George , in advancing One of That Name , or Seating in the Saddle such a gracelesse ONE : breaking his owne Neck : And ruine of the KINGDOME . This New adored Saint , ( as no doubt Canonized ) Saint George the second , saluted with seven-fold Blasphemous superscriptions dayly such , and the Like made upon His NAME ( His grace ) : Whereas thrice SIX 666. The restlesse Number thereof . Here unto the VVLgare not referred or directed : But he which Vnderstands Misteryes of State to Him : Proverbs XVI . How much better it is to get wisdome Then gold : And to get understanding rather to chosen then Silver . And thus wild as the Dragon : Hee with Sathans Marke in the head , of the old Serpents cut , ( Geneses . 3. ) By some MERMAYDE , as this BlaspheMER : spewd up doubtlesse ; so from Them his inchanting Noats had , of Menacing such , reaching from Earth to Heaven .
