Excerpt from Rationale Apocalypticum, Vol. 1: Or, a Systematic Exposition of the Apocalypse, With Historical Proofs and Illustrations That your Majesty is prepared faithfully to discharge the high trust committed to you, and to defend your people from the secret encroachments and open attacks of the Roman Pontiff, the events of the past year have abundantly proved. The Bishop of Rome, assuming to himself the title of the Vicar of Christ, and Vicegerent of God upon earth, and in these characters acting as the independent ruler of the Church throughout the world, ventured to divide your Majesty's dominions into ecclesiastical districts, and, without consulting your Majesty, or deigning to take the slightest notice of the Church of England and its ministers, nominated bishops of his own to the several sees which, by his sole authority, he had created. How this daring act of aggression was met by your Majesty and the people of England, I need not stop to relate. But permit me, with much deference, to call your Majesty's attention to another answer which was given to this aggression, less direct indeed than the indignant addresses of the English people and the Act of the Legislature, but perhaps still more striking and effective. The answer to which I allude is, the motto on the Royal Exchange and the Great Exhibition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
