This Booke St. Iohn did take and ate,
and it th'estate contained,
Of Gods Church present, and of that
her glory which remained.
For present state, she neuer wants,
the preaching of Gods spell,
Two Candlesticks, two Oliue plants, [Cap. 11]
two witnesses this tell.
And though she cloath'd be with the Sun
and on the Moone doe tread,
Yet warres against her are begun,
by foes that make her dread.
And first the Dragon caus'd her fly, [Cap. 12]
into Gods wildernesse:
But Michael from heauen high,
his fury doth represse.
Then did a Beast make warre on her, [cap. 13]
seuen headed, and ten horned:
And after him there did appeare
another Beast adorned
Like to the Lambe, with hornes but two,
Yet Dragon-like he spake,
And did what the first beast could doe,
compelling all to take
His marke vpon their fore-head: yet
the Lambe hath thousands still,
On earth that him with praises greet, [cap. 14]
signed to doe his will.
