LATINUS SACERDOS REX + Roman Catholics have found the number 666 in the names of some of the Reformers; but will they show what their seven heads and ten horns are? It is not sufficient that the number 666 be found in an individual's name. Every thing must agree. For instance, the number 666 is contained in the name LUDOVICUS. But does it follow from this that the kings of France, who have borne this name, have been the Beast? France has been a horn of the Beast, but not the Beast itself. The exhortation of the Apostle is remarkable. He does not say, "Count the number of any individual you may happen to pitch upon. He says, "Count the number of the BEAST:" i.e. “Read the description of the BEAST carefully, and then determine his NAME; count the number of the NAME So determined, and you will find it to be the name of a MAN, and the number 666; you will also find a mark attached to the name." The Hebrew word רומיי + exactly answers to the above requirements. It is the name of the BEAST and of the woman on the BEAST, for the PAPACY or PAPAL EMPIRE is ROMAN, and so is the PAPAL CHURCH. It is also the name of a MAN, for the POPE is ROMAN. The number of the name is also 666; and it has a MARK attached to it, the MARK +, the sign of the cross. The Greek word ΛΑΤΕΙΝΟΣ has the same meaning and the same number. It signifies A LATIN, or LATINUS, and its number is 666. The Latin LATINUS II. shews that the POPE is a second LATINUS, the founder of a second LATIN empire. So that it is immaterial whether we count the name of the BEAST in Hebrew, Greek, or Latin. The name is in each language ROMAN or LATIN; and the number is in each 666. This number is indeed fatal to the Pope. He styles himself VICARIUS FILII DEI (VICAR OF THE SON OF GOD) VICARIUS GENERALIS DEI IN TERRIS (VICAR-GENERAL OF GOD ON EARTH) and both these names contain the number 666. The latter of these names is graven on the Pope's mitre, so that his number is plainly the number of the Beast. The number 666 is contained in the following names: EPISCOPUS, FILIUS PERDITIONIS (A BISHOP, THE SON OF PERDITION) (DIVINE, INFALLIBLE) LATINUS SEDE, VOCE, VESTE (A LATIN IN SEAT, LANGUAGE, AND DRESS.) The above are some of the remarkable combinations of words, in which the number of the BEAST appears. In order to assist the reader in counting the Greek names, we will give the numerical value of the letters used, and of the contraction CHAPTER VII. THE SIGN OF THE CROSS. THE Name of the Beast is +", and the Mark of the Name is +, the sign of the Cross. Now it is remarkable that the services of the ROMAN Church are in the ROMAN or LATIN language; and that, as the name ROMAN and the number of the name 666 pass upon them all, so the mark of the name, +, the sign of the Cross, is found in them all; and the more Popish the service, the more frequent the mark. How repeatedly is the sign of the Cross made in the ritual of the Mass ! When the Priest approaches the Altar, he signs himself with his right hand from the forehead to the breast with the sign of the Cross +. When the Priest blesses himself, he turns to himself the palm of his right-hand and with all his fingers joined and stretched out, he makes the sign of the Cross from the forehead to the breast, and from the left shoulder to the right. When he blesses others, or anything, he turns his little finger to that which he blesses, and in blessing he extends his whole right-hand, with all his fingers joined and extended, which is observed in every benediction. The Priest signs himself again with the sign of the Cross+, drawing his right-hand from the forehead to the breast, saying, Adjutorium nostrum in nomine Domini. He again makes the sign of the Cross +, drawing his right-hand from his forehead to his breast, saying, Indulgentiam, &c. Joining his hands and placing them on the altar, with his right thumb over his left in the form of a Cross +, he says in secret Oramus te, Domine. Making the sign + from his forehead to his breast, he begins the Introit. He makes another sign from the forehead to the breast, when he says, Cum sancto Spiritu. At the Gloria in excelsis he puts his right thumb over the left in the form of a Cross +. If it be high Mass he blesses the incense making another sign +. He then blesses the deacon in the name of the Father and of the Son + and of the Holy Ghost. The deacon then makes four signs of the Cross, + + +, one over the Gospel, another upon his forehead, another upon his mouth, and another upon his breast. At the close of the Belief another sign + is made from the forehead to the breast. The sign + is made again with the paten, and another sign + over the jar of water. Another sign is made at the end of the Offerimus, &c. and another at the benediction of the Host and Chalice. If it is high Mass another sign + is made at the benediction of the Incense. The censer is waved over the Chalice and Host three times in the + |
