summary:
  FOrasmuch as it hath come to passe in the World for many Ages since the last glorious appearance of Christ Jesus , and the light of his glorious Gospel , through his Servants the holy Apostles , That Antichrist , that man of sin , the enemy of Christ and his Kingdom , hath ruled in the hearts of people , and throughout & over the Christian World , and he hath been exalted within and without , ever since the falling away from the true faith , which once was delivered to the Apostles and true Churches , and he hath shewed himselfe to be God , and hath sitten in the seat of God , and hath exercised Lordship over the persons and consciences of men , throughout generations , ever since the falling away from the faith ; for the true Church , the elected Spouse , the Lambs Wife , which once brought forth him that was to Rule the Nations , and was clothed with the Sun , and had once great beauty and excellency , hath been fled into the Wildernesse , and hath been desolate as without Husband and Issue ; but hath remained in her place , prepared her of God , where she hath dwelt in mourning , and been fed with the bread of sorrow , being pursued thither by the dragon and his floods of cruelty , who also waited to devour the man childe when he was born , and the Martyrs blood hath been shed , and the holy Prophets , and Apostles and Saints , have been made war against , and killed & persecuted for righteousnesse sake , and the two witnesses have long laid slain and rejoyced over in the streets of the great City , and the blood of the Innocent hath been drunk , and the Lamb and his followers hath been made war against , and the dragon , the devil and Satan hath deceived the World , into the name of Christians , without true Christian life , and Righteousnesse and Truth hath stood afar off , and Justice and Mercy hath been wanting , and the fear of the Lord and true obedience to him hath been in a great measure expelled out of Nations , and even all that would not worship the Beast and his Images , and receive his mark , the Beast hath had Power to kill them , and he hath had power to execute his wrath against them that have followed the Lamb , even all this time of darknesse and Apostacy which hath over-shadowed the Christian World , since the Apostles dayes until this time ; And all this hath been since the falling away from the Life and Righteousnesse and Spirit of Jesus , as I have said , and the Beast hath been great that arose out of the Sea , and out of the Earth , ( when the true faith was lost ) and his power mighty amongst men , for he received power from the dragon , that made war against the true Church , and sought to devour the man childe , and power hath been given him over Kindreds Tongues and Nations , and all the World hath wondered and followed after the Beast , and have been admiring his power and his great authority , and saying , Who is able to make war with him , for hee hath had a mouth given that hath spoken great things , and it hath been given him to war with the Saints , and to overcome them by his unrighteous Laws and decrees , and all that dwelt upon the earth hath worshipped him , whose names are not written in the book of Life , and he hath had many heads , ( even divers sorts and changes of government ) and many horns , with which he hath pushed the Innocent , and ruled over the earth , and kept all under his power , and he hath set up Images to worship and likenesses without life , and he hath caused both small and great , rich and poor , free and bond , to receive his mark , and he hath carried the Whore , and she hath journeyed upon him from Nation to Nation through the earth , in the sheeps clothing , and made all Nations drink her cup of fornications , and the whore , that false Church , she hath sate as a Queen , in great state and authority upon Nations , Tongues , Multitudes and Peoples , and through the Beasts authority , which hath carried her , she hath Ruled in great authority over the consciences , persons and estates of people , and she hath drunk the Saints blood , and the Martyrs blood , and in her is found even until this day the blood of the Martyrs and the Prophets , and of just men , and of all that hath been slain upon the earth , and she hath exercised cruelty and tyranny over the heritage of God , and she hath had the sheeps clothing upon her , even part of the garment of the Lambs Wife , and she hath appeared in much beauty with a golden cup in her hand , in which the wine of her fornications , and the filthinesse thereof hath appeared , and which she hath caused the Nations to drink , and by her sorceries and witchcrafts she hath deceived the World , and with her false miracles , and shews and Images and false ministers which she hath set up , she hath corrupted the earth , and all this she hath done by the Beasts power , that hath carried her , who received his authority from the dragon , and from the devil ; and thus Antichrist , the Beast and the Whore have ruled in the World in great authority for many generations , and the World hath been as a wildernesse by them , and waste , and barren of all good fruit , truth and faith hath been departed from amongst men , and love and peace hath been far away , and murders , thefts , wars , strifes and all injustice and wickednesse hath abounded in Nations , and thus the whole earth hath been corrupted through the Whore and false Church , who hath deceived Kings and Rulers and Peoples by her inchantments and sorceries , which she hath caused them to receive at her hand , and out of her golden cup of abominations , out of which they have drunk false doctrines and practises to the deceiving of their soules and bodies ; But now the day of the Lord is come and coming , and the Lambs Kingdom is to be set up , and the Kingdoms of this world must be changed and recovered again , and will become the Kingdoms of the Lord , and of his Christ , and the marriage of the Lamb is come again , and the day of glad tydings unto the poor and to the distressed , and the Lambs wife , shal be adorned for her husband , she shall be cloathed with the Sun , and shall be covered with her former beauty , and shall be led out of the Wilderness , and the earth shall be refreshed and delivered from the oppressions and Tyrannies of Antichrist and the Whore , for the hour of her judgements are come , and the darknesse of the night of woful Apostacy which hath clouded the World is passing over , and the light of the Lamb is risen , and the day-star hath appeared in the hearts of people , and the man of sin which hath sate in the Temple , and shewed himself to be God , and falsly exercised the bodies and consciences of deceived people in false wayes and worships , is discovering and destroying by the spirit of his mouth , and by the brightnesse of the coming of Jesus , and the Beast and the false Prophet shall be taken alive and cast into the lake of fire , and the Beast and false prophet shall be tormented day and night for ever , for the breath of life from God is entered into the two witnesses , and they shall again prophesie , and the light of the glorious Gospel that hath long been hid , must again be preached to Kindreds Tongues and Nations , and the Kingdom of Christ Jesus must be set up , and these things is the Lord God Almighty bringing to passe , and he will confound and destroy Antichrist and all that have worshiped him , and they that have worshiped the Beast , and drunken the cup of fornication , and committed idolatry with the great Whore , they shall be taken and cast into the bed of torment , and shall weep and howl , because of the great destruction of Babylon that great City who hath been the glory of Kingdoms , and made rich her Merchants ( the false Ministers ) with deceivablenes , whom God will overthrow ; that great fenced City of confusion ( the false Church ) that great Whore , the Mother of all abominations , the Lord God is risen against her , to enquire for the blood of Martyres , and Prophets , and righteous men , that is found in her , and she shall be rewarded according to her wayes , and as she hath given others to drink the cup of fornication , so in like manner shal she drink the cup of fierceindignation of the Lords wrath from his Saints , and she shall no more deceive the Nations by her sorceries , but the earth shall be delivered from her , and the Kingdom of the Son of God shall be exalted over all , and the light of the Lamb shall be the Light of all Nations , and all that are saved shall walk in the light of it , and truth shall reign , and the fruit of righteousnesse shall abound , and all people shall glorifie God their Maker , and the whole earth shall be refreshed with the mercy of him that made her . not for man , upon which dependeth the happinesse and welbeing of a Nation and Nations , and their Rulers , and on the contrary dependeth their overthrow and destruction , and this will speedily be brought to passe ; wherefore come out of Babylon , and deliver your selves from that bondage wherewith the false Church hath bound you , she hath caused you to drink her cup , and you have been made drunk with her false faith , and doctrines and practises ; and ye have compelled Nations to drink the same cup of abominations , and ye have executed cruelty and injustice upon all that would not , and ye have been servants to the great Whore , and being in bondage your selves , you have brought all in bondage under you ; but now the Lord is changing times , and things , and powers , and happy are you if ye deliver your selves , and let the oppressed go free , in so doing , if ye fulfil this my request , and do the will of the Lord herein , then blessings and peace eternal ; but if ye be disobedient , and take part continually with the Whore , ye shall partake of her judgements ; And this hath the Lord spoken to you , and in the day of vengeance ye shall confesse that you are warned , By a Friend to the whole Creation , that waits for the Redemption thereof , Edward Burrough .

  Europe a slave, unless England break her chains discovering the grand designs of the French-Popish party in England for several years past.

summary:
  Now England being sensible of this Truth , and seeing withal that by the continuance of these Successes , his most Christian Majesty will be in a condition to keep up an Army of above 150000 fighting men , for which he will have no employment , if he do not send them against England ; and yet lying still , and not using any endeavours to hinder the Progress of these Successes ; we must of necessity conclude , that England acts according to the same principles which engag'd her to confederate at the beginning of the war with France ; and that her mediation abroad does only tend to do the French some more important kindness , to bring to pass the designs of that Court , than she could do by the assistance of her Arms and a publick Declaration of War , which might be a means to discover , and put a stop to the conduct of self-interest . From hence it was , that the Court of Rome , which was not ignorant of these Proceedings , so much rejoyc'd at the beginning of this War which France and England , made at the same time against the Commonwealth of the united Provinces ; though that Court has had cause sufficient to understand the Nature of the French Zeal , by what has happen'd through the Power of the French Armies , to one of the Ecclesiastical Electors of the Empire , as in the most part of the Churches of his Capital City .

  The great and wonderful predictions of that late famous astrologer Mr. Lilly; and Mr. Partridg and Mr. Coley, concerning this present year 1683 To which is added a true and faithful account of the famous prophecies of the three German prophets; predicting and foretelling, some years since, this present invasion of the Turks into the empire of Germany and Hungary, with the events of the same, to the admiration of all that shall hear or read the same. Also their strange and wonderful predictions concerning the Pope, and the King of France: with the total and sudden destruction of the papal power; and the miraculous conversion of the Turks and Jews to the Christian faith. As also presaging the uniting of all religions into one visible church. Which prophecies have been had in esteem by many famous and illustrious persons of these times.

summary:
  Again , saith he , Many believe the last Age of the World is at hand ; we verily conjecture , That a troublesome and vexatious time is approaching upon most Nations of Europe , wherein those pretending to Religion , whether Papist or Protestant , will shew little mercy or compassion to those persons whose un●appiness it will be to fall under their subjection . The Angel further said , That besides the Devil , the great adversary of the Church , there are two others that shall destroy and tread down all things : one of them doth not yet know the true God , of whom he is now ignorant ; but shall know him , for the time is at hand that he shall acknowledg the true God , and shall accomplish his dec●ees against the great Whore , sitting upon the hills above the Sea , who is another trampler upon , and destroyer of the Church , whose remembrance is come in the sight of God , to give her a cup of the Excandescence of his Anger ; he cares not for God , nor doth God care for him , for his time is almost past .

summary:
  The principal Advantage the Confederates in general , exclusive of the P. of Orange proposed to themselves by this Revolution , was to have the Kingdom of Great Britain , one of the Strongest and most Flourishing Monarchies in Europe , at their entire Devotion , to draw off Men and Money at their pleasure , so long as they could keep this new set-up King in the Throne ; an advantage so considerable , that whilst they can do this , and any Wealth remains in England , they are sure to make the cheapest Experiment they could possibly devise , and withall the most powerful effort imaginable towards the reducing the growing Power of France , and retrieving their former losses : And however the infatuated and easily deluded Populace of England may seem to despise the Confederates in their Discourse ; yet it 's evident enough , that so long as this Confederacy holds , and no longer , shall they keep their new King ; it being sufficiently apparent to any one of common Sense , that if the whole and entire Confederacy have had hitherto enough to do , to oppose France even in the lowest degree , it is more than demonstration , that she alone will be able to do it least ; for I must take it as granted , that if England breaks from the Confederacy , the Confederates must of necessity knock quite off , and make their best terms at any rate , and consequently unite with France against England , which we are well assured that King will oblige them to , in order to the compleating that most Glorious Resolution which he has so often made , and will eternize his Memory , of the Restoring that Unfortunate Prince and Martyr for his sake , the true and lawfull King of England . This is natural and easie enough to be supposed ; for can any one imagine , should the late pretended Design of the Prince of Orange to attempt the taking of Dunkirk , Ipres , or Namur , have been effected , that the King of Spain would have resigned his right in them to him , and permitted them to be annext to the Crown of England , since 't is evident beyond all contradiction , that the ground of this Confederacy as is published by them to all the World , was to make War upon France , in order to recover what they urged was some time since so unjustly ravished from them by that Monarch ; and nothing of this nature could ever be pretended with truth by the Prince of Orange as King of England , we have not lost one single Town to the French ?

  A brief description of the future history of Europe, from Anno 1650 to An. 1710. Treating principally of those grand and famous mutations yet expected in the world, as, the ruine of the Popish hierarchy, the final annihilation of the Turkish Empire, the conversion of the eastern and western Jews, and their restauration to their ancient inheritance in the Holy Land, and the Fifth Monarchie of the universall reign of the Gospel of Christ upon Earth. With principal passages upon every of these, out of that famous manuscript of Paul Grebner, extant in Trinity-Colledge Library in Cambridge. Composed upon the occasion of the young Kings arrival into Scotland, to shew what will in probability be the event of the present affairs in England and Scotland.

summary:
  The thirtieth my Lord waited again on the Emperour , who dined that day with his Mother in Law the Empress , where his Lordship staying , till his Imperial Majesty had drunk his first draught ( a Ceremony observed by Ambassadours themselves ) retired , and din'd with Count Lesley , attending after dinner on the Emperour , the Empress and Princesses , to a Park about a mile from Vienna , where his Majesties Huntsmen inclosing some four acres of ground , with Canvas extended by Poles above a mans height , and a little way farther , with Canvas aforesaid , making a lane a breast high , by letting fall the Canvas towards the East , with Beagles hunted in at a time , some eight or ten Foxes , which coursed up and down , were by several Gentlemen , who had Nets in their hands for that purpose , of a foot and half wide , and between three and four yards long , toss'd up into the air , as it were in several Blankets , as they ran up and down seeking places to escape .

Having bathed enough , and drest themselves again , on a Stall , that is cover'd with Carpets , the Receiver of the Money sits demanding his due , which is inconsiderably little .

  Discourses on the present state of the Protestant princes of Europe exhorting them to an union and league amongst themselves against all opposite interest, from the great endeavours of the court of France and Rome to influence all Roman Catholick princes, against the Protestant states and religion, and the advantage that our divisions give to their party : wherein the general scope of this horrid Popish Plot is laid down, and presented to publick view / by Edmund Everard ...

summary:
  Thirdly , it is not an effect of the Jealousie that reigns betwixt these two Houses , that Rome hath had opportunity to inspire them so strongly to contend mutually in making out whether of them were more zealous of the Worship of the Roman Faith ; so that contrary to all the most essential Rights of their States and Crowns , the former to preserve himself in the quality of the Catholick King , hath suffered the new Emissaries of the Papacy in less than one Age to invade many very good Inheritances ; so that the Church at this day enjoys near a third part of the Temporal Estate through the whole extent of that Monarchy , and the other to maintain the Quality of the most Christian King , though he hath seen two of his most Illustrious Predecessors assissinated by their Parricides or Ministers in a very short time , and the Laws of his Kingdom are repugnant to such Establishments ; yet nevertheless hath and doth still every day tollerate the same , so far that the Cities of France may be seen as well provided of Fortresses and Colonies of the Papacy under the names of Covents , Religious Houses , Colleges and Abbeys , as those of Spain and Italy , which may be called the Triumph of the Papal Policy , it being infallibly certain that in process of time , if God redress it not , The Successors of these Monarchies must by all the Rules of a Judicious Policy , together with their Subjects , become the Miserable Slaves of the Despotick Monarchy of the Papacy ? In the fifth place , as Rome hath the Art to subtilize all the advantages that it can draw from all Conjunctures , and as it embraceth nothing more readily in all its Projects , than any Design to destroy the Protestant Party , from their Heads , to the meanest member of them , that the poor Protestants of High Hungary might not escape this general Persecution ; was it not an effect of the opposition which rages betwixt those Houses , that Rome , being about to draw a cruel storm over the Protestants , the Emissaries of the Papacy had the craft to make his most Christian Majesty to understand , that there being none but his Imperial Majesty , who could vigorously traverse his Designs on Holland ; it was his Interest to give him Business in his own State , and that this could not be done by any probability otherwise , than by somenting the Revolt on the Coast of High Hungary , therefore he must of necessity purchase the Heads of the Protestants in that Country to his part ? Now at the same time that these Emissaries caused this Doctrine to be solicited in the Court of France , and by their solicitation obtained Money and Treaties in France , and insinuated themselves into High Hungary ; the Brethren of the same Emissaries , who are as puissant in the Imperial Court , as the former in the Court of France , by Intelligence and Conspiracy with the former , had the dexterity without notice it may be precisely given thereof at first to his Imperial Majesty , to cause it to be determined at the Court of Vienna , that cruel Persecutions should be raised against those miserable People ; we must not wonder then , that those poor People , Members of our Faith , persecuted on one hand , and flattered on the other , are fallen into the trap set for them by the Court of Rome with so great dexterity , and that thereupon we have seen the Protestant Body in that Country in this last conjuncture , agitated with such furious Convulsions .
