All Turkish Princes, Bassaes and Begles, toge∣ther with their Emperor the Grand-Sultan, all alike Instruments and Ministers of execrable cruelty and fury, exercised both by themselues, and others vn∣der them. Reu. 9, 19. Hauing Heads wherewith they hurt.
Aboue him, or vpon his head. Reuel. 10, 1. The Rainbow was ouer his Head.
Most notable cruelty and fiercenesse, wherein the Turkes do excell all other Nations and people that euer were heard of, both Sarazins & Romans. Reuel. 9, 17. The Heads of the horses, were as the heads of Lyons. Heereby is noted vnto vs, that to the stearnnesse of their countenance, they had added the strength of their iawes, to expresse their singu∣lar inhumanity.
Seauen hils, and seauen Kings. Reuel. 17, 9. Sea∣uen Heades, are seauen hilles; They are also seauen Kings.
To preserue in health, and keepe from all disea∣ses, preuenting them, and remoouing all causes of them. Reuel. 22, 2. And the Leaues to heale the Nations with. This health, Christ doth affoorde the soules of beleeuers, vnperfectly heer, and most perfectly in heauen.
To bend the minde inwardly, to heed well, and marke the admonitions of the Spirit in the word. Reuel. 2, 7. Let him that hath an Eare, Heare. Re∣uel. 13, 9, Let him Heare; that is, let him be atten∣tiue.
2 To receiue a thing, by the outward sence of hearing. Reuel. 22, 18. I protest to euerie one that Heareth the word of this Prophesie.
Inward indignation, blinde zeale, and bitter∣nesse of minde, together with outward strife, con∣tention, and debate, wherewith not only open eni∣mies, but Hypocrites should bee vexed, for striuing against the Sunne and light of the Gospell, shining vpon their Consciences, and checking them. Reu. 16, 8. It was giuen him to Torment men with heate of fire.
The Church on earth, and the godly, which be the true members of it. Reuel. 12, 12. Reioyce the
Heauens, and yee that dwell therein. Also, Reuelat. 13. 6. And them that dwell in Heauen. Reuel. 6, 13 Starres of Heauen; that is, the Ministers of the Church. The reason why the Church reformed heere on earth, is called [Heauen,] is, because of that Heauen (which is the seate and habitation of the Saints.) There is no more liuely Image and Pi∣cture heere in earth, then the vniuersall Company of Saintes, which is the true militant Church of Christ.
The whole face of the Church (and not the Mi∣nisters alone) to be couered with that black dark∣nesse of calamity which is heere threatned. Reuel. 6, 14. And the Heauen departed.
Heauen, as it is now subiect to vanity and cor∣ruption. Reuel. 21, 1. First Heauen, &c.
The middle space or distance betweene heauen and earth.
2 An estate of a Church, somwhat purged from filthy corruption, yet not so purified as it ought. Reuel. 8, 13. Heard an Angell flying from the midst of Heauen.
The Heauens, which are now vnder vanity and corruption, restored into a perfect estate and liber∣ty. Reuel. 21, 1. I saw New Heauens. Some Inter∣preters, which thinke this Chapter, to giue (not a description of Heauen, the seat of the blessed, she∣wing what shall be the happinesse of the Saints, after the Resurrection and Iudgement) but of the Church which shall be on earth, a little afore the Iudgement, when the Iewes shall be restored to the Communion of Saints, do interpret New heauens, of the most pure way of worshipping God, and the New Earth, to signifye a new people; in whose assemblies God will be honoured. Let the learned Iudge which signification is fittest, for both are true.
The great glory of Christ his holy Church, ma∣nifested and apparantly shewed to the eyes of all. Reuel. 19, 11. After I saw the Heauens opened.
The company of the godly, to leape for ioy and gladnesse, because of the victory and saluation which Christ giueth them ouer their spirituall Ene∣mies, deliuering and sauing then from their fury. Reue▪ 18, 20. O Heauen, reioyce ouer her.
The Graue, which is the companion of Death, or the estate which followes after Death; both the Greeke word signifies Graue, and the matter re∣quires this sense. For many Saints were to dye a∣mongst others, but it were wickednesse to thinke the Saints to be deuoured of the Hell of the dam∣ned. Reuel. 6, 8. And Hell followed after him. Reue. 20, 13. Death and Hell deliuered vp their Dead. Al∣so, verse 14. If heere we should vnderstand Hell for the place of the damned, it would be absurd to say; That Hell was cast into the burning Lake, That were to say; Hell was cast into Hell.
