CHAPTER VI.

REMARKABLE COINCIDENCES CONNECTED WITH THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST.

THERE is a remarkable fatality connected with the number 666: and this both in the Greek and Latin languages, Thus

ΤΟ ΜΕΓΑ ΘΗΡΙΟΝ

(THE GREAT BEAST)

contains the precise number 666.

The GREGORIES have been the greatest Popes, with the exception of the Innocents: and

ΓΡΗΓΟΡΕΙΟΝ ΘΗΡΙΟΝ

(GREGORIAN BEAST)

contains the number 666.

The Beast is described as a Leopard; and

Ο ΠΑΠΑ, Η ΠΑΡΔΑΛΙΣ

(THE POPE, THE LEOPARD)

contains the number 666.

The Beast, which St. John saw, "was like unto a

ADDRESS TO PROTESTANTS.

By the mercy of God you have escaped from the errors of Popery. "Stand fast, therefore, in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made you free; and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.". (Gal. v. 1.) Beware of that rock against which the Church of Rome has stricken and made shipwreck, the doctrine of JUSTIFICATION BY Works. Hold fast the fundamental doctrine of Protestantism, the doctrine of JUSTIFICATION BY FATH ONLY. As long as the Church of Rome held this doctrine, she stood; in renouncing it she fell. In opposition to the Church of Rome, the Church of England maintains, that this ' is a most wholesome doctrine, and very full of comfort;' that it is the doctrine which the Holy Scripture teacheth; the strong rock and foundation of Christian religion; this doctrine all old and ancient authors of Christ's Church do approve; this doctrine advanceth and setteth forth the true glory of Christ, and beateth down the vain-glory of man; this, whosoever denieth, is not to be accounted for a Christian man, nor for a setter forth of Christ's glory; but for an adversary to Christ and his Gospel, and for a setter forth of men's vain-glory.' (Art. IX. and Homily on Salvation, by Archbishop Cranmer.) This language is sufficiently plain and cannot be mis

"the

understood. Let us cleave to this doctrine as
strong rock and foundation of Christian religion;"
remembering the solemn language of St. Paul to those
amongst the Galatians who apostatized from it,
"Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever
of you are justified by the law: ye are fallen from
grace." (Gal. v. 4.) Let us act up to our character
as PROTESTANTS by PROTESTING with an unflinching
PROTEST against the errors of Popery. Let the
trumpet give no uncertain sound. Let us show to
our deluded Roman Catholic brethren that their errors
are damnable; that eternal misery will be the portion
of those who "WORSHIP THE BEAST AND HIS IMAGE."
Let Protestant England be true to her profession. Let
her have nothing to do with Popery-that accursed
thing-that abominable thing which God hateth.
Let her withdraw her grant of £3000. a-year to the
support of the Popery of MAYNOOTH COLLEGE. Let
her repeal the act of 1829, whereby she opened
her Parliament to men,

who WORSHIP THE BEAST

AND HIS IMAGE, AND RECEIVE
THE NUMBER OF HIS NAME."
