cannot be hid, but is apparently discerned and discried to be that great City Babylon: So Augustine and other writers call it; so Bellarmine and Ribera the Jesuites yeeld it. Joannes de 〈◊〉〈◊〉 in his Mare historiarum telleth us, that 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the Emperour was once in a minde, to make Rome the seat of his Empire, as of old it had been. And having built a stately Palace there, where formerly had stood the Palace of Julian the Apostate, (the Ro∣manes being much against it) he gave over the worke. The 〈◊〉〈◊〉, Zonaras and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 report the like of Constans, nephew to Heraclius, 340 years before Otho. Now that these and the 〈◊◊〉〈◊◊〉 took not 〈◊〉〈◊〉, Genebrard saith it was a speciall pru∣vidence of God, to the end that the kingdom of the Church fore∣told by Daniel, might have Rome for its seat. If he had said, the kingdom of Antichrist foretold by St Paul, and likewise by John the Divine, he had divined aright. (But to return from whence we are digressed,) A Minister, whiles he 〈◊〉〈◊〉 a private person, stood in the croud, as it were: but no sooner entred into his office, then he is 〈◊〉〈◊〉 upon the stage; 〈◊◊〉〈◊◊〉 are upon him, as they were upon Saul, who was higher by head and shoulders then the rest of the people. Now therefore as the tree of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 was sweet to the taste, and fair to the eye; and as in Absolom there was no 〈◊〉〈◊〉, from head to foot: so should it be with Gods Ministers.

And the Ministers of the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 (for the word, Priest, is never used for such, by the Apostles, no nor by the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 ancient Fathers, as Bellarmine 〈◊◊〉〈◊◊〉) must be 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, stamps and paterns to the beleevers in word and conversation: every thing in them is eminent and exemplary. The world (though unjustly) looks for Angelicall perfection in them: and as the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 deviation in a starre is soon noted, so is it in such. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 happy he, that, (with Samuel, Daniel, Paul and others) can be acquitted and approved by himself, in private; in publike, by others; in both, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 God: That can by his spotlesse conversation slaughter 〈◊〉〈◊〉, stop 〈◊〉〈◊〉 open mouth, and draw 〈◊〉〈◊〉 if not from the 〈◊〉〈◊〉, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 from the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of the 〈◊〉〈◊〉, of his 〈◊〉〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉〈◊〉. Mr Bradford the Martyr was had in so great 〈◊〉〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 with all good men, that a 〈◊〉〈◊〉, 〈◊◊〉〈◊◊〉 knew him but by fame, 〈◊◊〉〈◊◊〉 his death: yea 〈◊〉〈◊〉
