Revelation10:5
Verſe 5. Lifted up his hand] And ſo ſwore ſolemnly, Gen. 14 22. Numb. 14.30. Ezek. 20 5. Becauſe it ſeemed improbable (if not impoſſible) that ever Babylon ſhould down, Rome be ruined. But all the judgements in the Revelation (thoſe of the ſeven ſeals, ſeven trumpets and ſeven vials) are ſtill upon Rome Pagan, Chriſtian, and Antichriſtian. We may therefore conclude with that Emperour of Germany, Frederike 2. Roma diu titubans, varijs erroribus acta C[illegible: 1 letter]rruet & mundi deſinet eſſe caput. Rome tottering long, ſhall once be ſhattered, And of the world ſhall ceaſe to be the head.
