VVHether
these

such
like
Prophecies
be
of
God
,
and
proceed
from
the
Holy
Ghost
or
no
,
let
the
godly
judge
.
But
surely
it
is
commonly
seene
,
when
God
will
shew
his
displeasure
and
indignation
,
and
intendeth
to
bring
to
passe
some
great
act
,
that
all
creatures
doe
Prophecy

,

give
warning

it

his
Prophets
,
and
●●ophecy
it
before
but
it
availed
not
.
Christ
himselfe
had
breathed
it
unto
them
.
The
Apostles
had
warned
them
thereof
.
They
heard
voyces
in
the
Temple
.
They
saw
signes
in
the
Element
.
They
heard
battels
in
the
clouds
.
Mad
men
,
and
such
as
were
out
of
their
wits
,
did
prophecy
it
unto
them
,
but
all
these
signes
prevailed
not
,
they
saw
it
in
act
and
yet
it
preuailed
not
.
They
might
have
remedied
it
,
if
they
would
have
suffered
the
Emperour
to
rule
over
them
,
but
all
prevailed
nothing
,
for
they
were
destroyed
because
they
dispised
Gods
word
.
Even
so
shall
it
happen
unto
the
Papists
also
.
It
is
prophecied
unto
them
by
Daniel
in
the
7.
and

Jt
is

unto
them

Jt

It
is

by

with
certaine
Proverbes
.
It
is
prophecied
vnto
them
by
visions
and
signes
in

all

they
might
turne
it
,
if
they
would
not
presume
to
be
aboue
Gods
Word
and

consciences
,
but
would
suffer
God
and
his
trueth
to
raigne
over
them
and
all
mens
consciences
,
but
all
prevaileth
nothing
,
Therefore
must
they
be
destroyed
,
there
is
no
remedie
,
&
that
which
they
will
not
now
,
they
must
not
see
to
their
griefe
at

,
when
all
helpe
is
past
.
Wherefore
let
no
good
Christian
grieue
himselfe
with
them
,
but
rather
suffer
and
take
patience
,
and
pray
to
God
that
it
would
please
him
to
revenge
the
blood
of
his
Saints
,
and
speedily
to
deliver
us
from
these
cruell
Tyrants
,
&
all
their
mischievous
or
rather
hellish
enchantments
.
Thereby
shall
a
man
get
a
greater
conquest
over
them
,
then

God
knoweth
well
where

Titus
is

as
shall
be
the

To

be
all
honour
,
praise
,
and

,
for
euer

.
The
Prophecie
of
HILGARD
.
ALl
worldly
Princes
and
the
common
people
also
,
shall
fiercely
fall
upon
you
Priests
,
which
hitherto
haue
abused
me
.
They
will
turne
you
away
from
them
,
and
put
you
to
flight
.
They
shall
take
away
your
substance
and
riches
,
because
that
in
your
time
,
you
have
not
kept
the
order
of
your
Priesthood
well
.
These
words
will
they
speake
by
you
.
Let
us
cast
these
Oath-breakers
,
robbers
,
and
people
replenished
with
all
kind
of
iniquity
,
forth
of
the
holy
Catholique
Church
:
for
the
holy
Church
is
contaminated
and
polluted
by
them
.
And
therefore
will
God
suffer
also
such
things
to
come
over
you
.
Yea
,
the
Kings
of
the
world
,
shall
assist
them
with
their
earthly
power
and
might
that
shall
withstand
you
.
Your
Priestly
dignity
and
annointing
,
they
will
esteeme
as
nothing
worth
,
and
to
that
purpose
will
they
gather
together
in
Councell
,
that
they
may
drive
you
out
of
their
Dominions
,
because
you
have
driven
away
the
most
holy
and
innocent
Lambe
from
you
,
with
your
vngodly
and
abhominable
workes
.
Then
shall
the
Heavens
raine
downe
divers
Plagues
,
which
shall
be
as
a
revenge
of
God
upon
men
.
The
miste
shall
cover
the
whole
Earth
,
so
that
all
your
grasse
shall
dry
up
,
and
your
ornaments
become
pale
.
The
deepe
shall
suffer
Earthquakes
,
and
then
shall
appeare
the
very
anger
of
God
,
and
the
rage
both
of
Heaven
and
Earth
.
God
will
send
a
righteous
and
straight
judgement
against
the
transgressors
of
Righteousnesse
.
And
then
shall
we
say
altogether
.
How
long
shall
we
forbeare
and
suffer
these
ravening
Wolves
?
they
ought
to
have
bin
feeders
of
the
soules
,
but
they
be
destroyers
of
them
.
They
bind
and
vnbind
at
their
owne
pleasure
(
yet
such
power
belongeth
not
unto
them
)
and
as
most
fearefull
beasts
they
utterly
cast
us
away
.
And
thus
remaine
we
still
in
our
misery
and
they
in
their
sins
,
insomuch
that
all
Christendome
perisheth
through
them
.
And
whatsoever
is
right
that
write
they
not
,
but
wrest
,
and
onely
doe
that
which
is
contrary
to
the
Law
of
God
.
They
devoure
us
,
as
the
Wolfe
devoureth
the
sheepe
,
they
live
continually
in
lust
and
gluttony
,
they
bee
very
robbers
of
the
Church
,
and
whatsoever
they
can
catch
or
come
by
,
they
take
and
devoure
it
.
They
make
us
also
with
their
occupation
poore
and
beggerly
.
They
damne
themselves
&
desire
to
destroy
us
also
.
Therefore
will
we
judge
them
righteously
,
anb
seperate
them
from
vs
,
for
they
be
rather
seducers
then
teachers
,
&c.
Yet
care
they
not
for
it
,
but
remaine
so
still
,
seeking
to
make
all
Kingdomes
subject
unto
them
.
Neverthelesse
,
for
all
this
they
must
away
,
and
leaue
behind
them
all
that
they
have
,
neyther
shall
they
afterward
rule
any
more
ouer
the
people
againe
,
with
Lands
,
Possessions
,
Vineyards
,
and
other
temporall
goods
,
which
worldly
Princes
be
appointed
for
.
A
Pope
should
be
a
Pope
,
a
Knight
a
Knight
,
a
Gentleman
a
Gentleman
,
wherefore
all
such
things
as
they
possesse
vnrighteously
,
shall
be
taken
away
from
them
.
&c.
But
against
the
same
will
the
spiritualtie
as
heads
of
this
world
repine
and
rebell
:
to
wit
,
the
Popes
,
Cardinals
,
Bishops
,
Abbats
,
and
other
Prelates
.
First
with
their
curse
,
and
with
shutting
up
of
the
Heavens
,
but
the
same
will
not
serve
,
neither
shall
men
feare
it
any
whit
.
After
that
,
they
will
get
them
to
their
Armour
and
weapons
,
thinking
therewith
to
defend
themselves
,
but
against
the
judgement
of
God
they
can
doe
nothing
,
for
their
time
is
come
,
&c.
Thus
much
prophecied
the
Nunne
Hillgard
.
So
●o●
must
the
bloody
whore
drinke
of
her
owne
Challice
,
and
the
beast
with
the
false
Prophets
be
cast
down
into
the
bottomlesse
pit
,
where
as
is
no
rest
night
nor
day
,
there
to
suffer
paines
eternally
.
And
then
will
Christ
raise
up
faithfull
shepheards
to
feed
his
flock
.
What
these
shall
be
,
we
find
in
the
Scriptures
plainly
enough
declared
,
as
they
that
came
from
him
,
and
how
may
it
faile
,
or
what
defect
can
be
in
such
as
God
sendeth
?
God
is
Righteous
,
and
also
sendeth
good
shepheards
when
he
seeth
his
time
.
They
doe
righteously
,
and
as
they
teach
,
euen
so
they
liue
.
These
be
the
true
seruants
which
Christ
speaketh
of
,
which
in
due
time
set
forth
the
gifts
and
glory
or
the
Father
of
the
houshold
,
and
not
their
owne
traditions
,
whereof
as
yet
the
whole
world
is
full
.
But
the
Lord
(
at
his
good
pleasure
)
for
his
sonne
Iesus
Christs
sake
,
will
scomme
away
all
filthinesse
and
make
his
glory
appeare
.
So
be
it
The
Conclusion
.
DIvers
other
like
Prophecies
there
are
no
whit
necessary
to
be
written
,
because
I
hope
there
will
amendment
follow
after
this
,
except
the
Readers
be
found
to
want
the
chiefe
effects
of
their
eies
and
eares
:
for
whom
would
not
this
ancient
,
true
,
and
faithfull
declaration
of
the
Romish
and
Babilonish
strumpet
,
bring
to
conversion
and
knowledge
?
Shee
is
here
so
clerely
set
forth
and
painted
with
all
her
falsehood
and
colours
,
that
it
cannot
be
done
more
liuely
.
Hath
she
not
with
her
Challice
made
drunke
,
and
with
her
subtilty
and
deceit
overcome
Emperors
,
Kings
,
Princes
,
Lords
?
and
with
her
snares
overthrowne
all
Christendome
?
Let
euery
man
marke
it
well
.
When
did
they
any
other
thing
but
Pole
and
shave
,
lye
and
deceiue
,
burne
,
and
banne
,
continually
increasing
warres
and
murder
?
untill
such
time
as
they
were
become
heads
of
all
Kingdomes
.
&c.
The
same
(
as
aboue
mentioned
)
hath
endured
many
yeares
,
but
now
will
take
an
end
.
For
the
time
of
the
Whore
is
come
about
,
and
he
commeth
that
speaketh
in
the
Apocalips
,
saying
:
I
am
Alpha
and
Omega
,
the
beginning
&
the
ending
,
the
first
&
the
last
.
Blessed
be
they
that
follow
his
Commandements
,
to
the
end
that
they
may
come
to
the
tree
of
life
,
and
and
enter
in
at
those
straight
gates
of
the
celestiall
Ierusalem
,
out
of
which
shall
be
secluded
all
Vnbeleeuers
,
Enchaunters
,
Whores
,
murderers
,
Idolators
,
and
all
such
as
loue
and
follow
after
lyes
,
whose
portion
is
in
the
unquenchable
Lake
that
burneth
with
fire
and
Brimstone
.
Now
hath
Jesus
Christ
sent
his
Angell
againe
,
to
shew
the
people
that
he
is
the
very
roote
of
David
,
and
the
cleere
morning
Starre
,
and
in
none
other
is
there
any
saluation
,
but
in
him
onely
,
for
it
is
written
.
There
is
no
other
name
vnder
heauen
whereby
we
may
be
saved
,
but
this
onely
.
&c.
Now
he
that
is
faithfull
still
,
he
that
is
holy
,
let
him
become
more
holy
,
and
continue
to
the
end
.
and
let
him
not
long
for
the
time
approcheth
.
And
thus
let
every
man
be
warned
,
for
when
he
knocketh
,
happy
are
they
that
open
,
but
to
those
that
doe
not
so
,
the
danger
is
apparent
:
for
unto
such
,
both
Baptisme
and
all
holy
Rites
are
ministred
in
vaine
.
Wherefore
let
us
beware
of
beeing
Christians
onely
in
name
,
and
let
us
pray
God
to
blesse
us
,
and
to
grant
us
his
grace
,
and
that
he
would
vouchsafe
to
guide
us
aright
by
his
holy
Spirit
.
Amen
.
