27. (And he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers; that is, they shall rigidly enough, and severely rule them, so that they shall not be able to whinch but at their own peril, and all their strength shall be broken to fitters as a potters vessel) even as I have received of my Father; that is, so far as I shall have received of my Father, as to the propagating of my Kingdom at this time, so will I give to them.

16. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thée out of my mouth. I will shew how nauseous and loathsome thou art to me in a torrent of Reproof, as a sign of my disgust against thee; and upon thy impenitence at length being weary of thee (as concerning God it is said before his bringing the deluge of water on the Earth, that it repented him that he had made man) [Page 36] I will spew thee out from my self, who fill all things, and exterminate thee out of Being by a deluge of Fire that shall put an end to this Terrestrial Scene of things, and the Laodicean Church shall be no more.
1. ANd there appeared a great wonder in Heaven, a Woman cloathed with the Sun, and the Moon under her féet, and upon her head a Crown of twelve Stars. This is the primitive Apostolick Church before the Apostasie. Where being clothed with the Sun signifies her being environed with the pure Light of the Gospel, or the Sun of Righteousness communicated to her. And her being crowned with twelve Stars denotes, that it was her Glory, and her Crown, that she was not yet degenerated from the True Apostolick Faith and practice, nor did as yet either Iudaize or Paganize, but trod under-foot both the Carnality of the Judaical Rites, (whose Feasts, and Legal Observances were appointed according to the course of the Moon) and also the gross Superstitions and Idolatries of the Pagans, which are rightly deemed the works of darkness, or of the night, of which the Moon is Governess.
12. No Merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearles, and fine linnen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet; the rich attire of those higher parts of the Whore (as you may see in the foregoing Chapter) fit for Popes, Cardinals, and other great Personages of that Babylonish Body, and their Officers. No Thyine wood for the roof of their Temples, or for carved Idols, to whom sacrifice is done; (for I suspect some such allusion in [...]) no Incense for Burnt-offerings, for their adored Images. * No Images, or other utensils of Ivory, precious Wood, Brass, Iron, or Marble, which in the Text are called, all manner vessels of Ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble.
15. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the Nations: This again showes, that this is no Carnal Warfare, but as it is said in the Epistle to the Hebrews; The Word of God is quick and powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; in allusion to the second Psalm, which is a Prophecie of these Times of the Messias: Thou shalt Rule them with a Rod of Iron, and break them in pieces like a potters vessel: which is a Prophetick symbol of that wonderful contrition of heart, that the word of God makes when it is sincerely, seasonably and powerfully evibrated against the Enemies of his Kingdom: And he treadeth the Wine-press of the fierceness and wrath of God Almighty. This referrs to the Vision of the Wine-press, Chap. 14. whereby it is again manifest, that those two Visions belong to one and the same thing. But the treading of the Wine-press is there explained, and the Explanation ratified by this of the sword coming out of the mouth of the Rider of the White Horse.
1. And I saw an Angel come down from Heaven, whose Commission therefore must be from God, having the key of the bottomless pit; the supposed habitation or prison rather of Evil Spirits: And the having the Key thereof signifies the having Power and Authority to do things there: For the very Kingdom of the Devil is subject to the Power of God: And a great chain in his hand, which is the Power of Legislation or making Laws, (as some, as to the sense well, though not so critically, derive Lex à ligando) which are bonds and iron chains to tye up the wicked from doing mischief. By this Angel therefore, according to the Apocalyptick stile, after the abolishing the Antichristian and Infidel Power, are those persons understood that are impowered from God to make Laws for the more sure support of the recovered Kingdom of Christ.
3. And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up and set a seal upon him, that he deceive the Nations no more till the thousand years should be fulfilled: Therefore during the happy Millennium of the Reign of Christ, he is as close a prisoner as can be imagined or expressed. Which is a demonstration, this Millennium is not yet come. The Parable is of the Devil, but so as to be understood of his Children here on Earth, that they shall be kept under with iron or adamantine chains of rigid, severe and inviolable Laws, nor be permitted to do any thing that is really Profane, Wicked, or Antichristian, nor to tempt or seduce others to do it. [Page 207] They shall have no publick permission or connivance for such things: And after that he must be loosed a little season, namely in the Laodicean Interval, the Evangelical Party growing more coole and remiss, and the Church degenerating in many from the state of Philadelphia to that of Laodicea, of whom Christ complains in his Epistle to her. This loosing of Satan is conceived for order and distinctness sake to happen under the fourth Thunder.
Again, as for Rome Pontifician standing upon two Hills and no more, which yet is not absolutely true, it standing upon two Hills more besides, as I am informed from a good hand, skilfull and curious in these things; the Text of the Prophecy does not require that exactness, that Rome Pontifician should stand upon all the Seven Hills: For the words run thus, The seven Heads are seven Mountains, [...], which only denotes the place of her abode, or where she is seated. And the Woman, [Page 315] which is not the Houses and Walls of the City but the Polity residing there, is possessed of the whole space of ground environed with a Wall that takes in all the seven Hills, so that all the seven Hill may be said to be the place of her abode. And if the being environed with a Wall be essential to a City, I do not see but that the name of the City is to be conceived to reach so far, and the Wall with all the space of ground contained in it, all of it, to be called Rome. To all which you may add, that [...], may be taken partitivè, as when it is said of Iephtah Iud. 12. Chap. 7. that he was buried in the Cities of Gilead, and of Iosiah that he was buried in the Sepulchers of his Fathers, 2 Chron. 35. vers. 24. that is, in some one of the Cities, and some one of the Sepulchres. So [...] may signify upon some of the Hills, as well as upon them all. 2ff7e9595c
