Also to the following name

LATINUS DECEPTOR.

(A LATIN DECEIVER.)

We will take away St. George's cross from the last three names and substitute REX, which is also equal to 10. And the Pope's name becomes

LATINUS REX SACERDOS

LATINUS REX DOCTOR

LATINUS REX DECEPTOR.

If the name of the Pope be not yet sufficiently plain, add PAPA = 0. becomes

The name of the Pope thus

LATINUS REX SACERDOS PAPA

LATINUS REX DOCTOR PAPA

LATINUS REX DECEPTOR PAPA.

To complete the name, we will add the mark += 0. And the Pope's name written in full will be

LATINUS REX SACERDOS PAPA +

LATINUS REX DOCTOR PAPA

LATINUS REX DECEPTOR PAPA

+

+

or we may leave out PAPA and retain the cross, and the number will be still 666: thus

In like manner the signature of a Romish Bishop contains the number 666, whether it be written

RECTE REVERENDUS LATINUS

or RECTE REVERENDUS LATINUS + This may be written for shortness

We have now counted the name of the Beast in Hebrew, Greek and Latin; and have found it to be the name of a man, even of the Pope. The number is also 666. The Hebrew name is perhaps the most remarkable, namely, +" (Romii +). The difference between the masculine " (Romii) and the feminine + (Romii + or Romiith) is the letter tuu, or the sign of the cross, which is called a tau or mark, and is therefore the mark of the name. Every member of the Romish Church receives the name, number and mark of the Beast. And, since the name+" is both masculine and feminine, it passes upon all Romanists alike, both men and women. The sign of the cross is also an essential part of the name, and cannot be separated from it.

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

Ὁ ΠΑΠΑ, Ἡ ΠΑΡΔΑΛΙΣ

(THE POPE, THE LEOPARD)

contains the number 666.

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

Leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a Bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a Lion." And

ΛΙΣ ΠΑΡΔΑΛΙΣ

(LION-LEOPARD)

ΛΙΣ ΑΡΚΤΕ

(O LION-BEAR)

contain the number 666.

In St. John's description of the Beast, allusion is evidently made to the three Beasts of Daniel, the first of which was "like a lion:" the LXX. translate, like a lioness." And

Ἡ ΑΡΚΟΣ, Η ΛΕΑΙΝΑ, ΠΑΠΑ

(THE BEAR, THE LIONESS, A POPE)

Η ΛΑΤΙΝΗ ΛΕΑΙΝΑ, ΠΑΠΑ

(THE LATIN LIONESS, A POPE)

ΓΡΗΓΟΡΕΙΟΣ ΛΕΑΙΝΑ

(GREGORIAN LIONESS)

contain the number 666. In the second of the above names we have spelled AATINH, as Roman Catholics say it ought to be spelled, without the .

The number 666, is also found in the following remarkable names of the Beast.

Ὁ ΠΑΡΔΑΛΕΟΣ Ή ΛΕΑΙΝΑ

(THE LEOPARD-LIKE, THE LIONESS)

ΠΑΡΔΙΟΝ ΠΑΡΔΑΛΕΙΟΝ

(PARD-LIKE, LEOPARD-LIKE)

ΑΔΙΚΟΝ ΛΑΤΙΝΟΝ

(UNJUST LATIN)

ΑΘΕΟΝ ΑΖΥΓΟΝ

(IMPIOUS UNTAMED)

ΜΕΓΑΣ ΑΔΙΚΟΣ ΑΝΑΞ

(A GREAT UNJUST KING)

ΜΕΓΑ ΘΑΥΜΑ, ΜΕΓΑ ΣΟΜΑ

(A GREAT WONDER, A GREAT MOUTH.) This last name reminds one of the old proverb, μεγα βιβλιον, μεγα κακον. The name

ΑΠΟΣΤΑΤΗΣ

(AN APOSTATE)

is well known, and answers to the description of the Pope given by St. Paul. The Pope is AN APOSTATE, and the Romish Church is AN APOSTATE Church. But Socinians are Apostates also, and deny the Lord that bought them. It is true that POPERY is preeminently THE APOSTASY. (2 Thess. ii. 3. see original.) But yet, since no Roman-Catholic owns himself an Apostate, whilst he glories in the name of ROMAN, and since the heads and the horns of the Beast prove its name to be ROMAN, we believe that the name of the Beast, to which St. John refers is

Those who believe añoΣтatнΣ to be the name, to which St. John alludes, should shew that the Hebrew word, which corresponds to it, contains the number 666, and has for its first or last letter the letter +, which is the mark of the name. They must then shew that the Latin for Apostate contains the number 666. Till then we shall maintain that the name of the Beast is
