With respect to the authority for writing AATEINOE with the diphthong EI, a great deal has been said upon the subject. We shall therefore content ourselves with producing the following line from the poet ENNIUS, in which the diphthong EI occurs no less than five times, and twice in the word LATEINEI. QUAM PREIMUM CASCEI POPOLEI TENUERE With respect to the Mark of the name, we believe it to be the Sign of the Cross, the mark X, commonly called St. George's Cross. We have seen the signature of a Romish Bishop with a double his name. affixed to Now the numerical value of in Greek is 600, and therefore of a double is 1200. It is worthy of observation that whilst AATEINOZ=666, And many excellent commentators are of opinion that in the year 1866, the time, times, and a half of Daniel expire. There is another remarkable circumstance, which is, that the fatal number 1335 is contained in Η ΕΠΙΣΚΟΠΟΣ, and the number 2001 in * ΛΑΤΕΙΝΟΣ ΕΠΙΣΚΟΠΟΣ. Now as the name ROMAN + passes upon every one who professes himself a member of the Holy ROMAN church, so also the name LATIN. 'After the division of the empire, the Greeks and other Orientalists called the people of the Western Church or Church of Rome Latins and, as Dr. Henry Moore expresseth it, they latinize in every thing. Mass, Prayers, Hymns, Litanies, Canons, Decretals, Bulls, are conceived in Latin. The Papal councils speak Latin. Women themselves pray in Latin. Nor is the Scripture read in any other language under Popery than Latin. Wherefore the Council of Trent commanded the vulgar Latin to be the only authentic version. Nor do their doctors doubt to prefer it to the Hebrew and Greek text itself, which was written by the prophets and apostles. In short all things are Latin: the Pope having communicated his language to the people under his dominion, as the mark and character of his empire.' (Bishop Newton.) CHAPTER V. THE NAME OF THE POPE COUNTED IN LATIN. THE MARK OF HIS NAME. HERE IS WISDOM. LET HIM THAT HATH UNDER IN the preceding chapters we have shewn that the name of the Beast is +" (ROMAN+) in Hebrew, and AATEINO (LATINUS or LATIN) in Greek. The name of the Beast is plainly the name of a Man: his number is also 666. But surely, since the name is ROMAN OF LATIN, it should be counted in the ROMAN or LATIN language. Now it is remarkable that the name LATINUS with the double sign of the cross contains the precise number 666. Thus The former value is 600. is the Greek Letter X, whose numerical The latter is the Latin Letter X, whose numerical value is 10. The numerical value of LATINUS is 56. The name of the Pope may however be given without the double mark; thus LATINUS II.d dus or LATINUS SECUNDUS. The Pope is indeed A SECOND LATINUS, and may be called the second founder of the Latin Empire, agreeably to the sentiment expressed by Gibbon, 'Under the Sacerdotal Monarchy of St. Peter, the nations began to resume the practice of seeking on the banks of the Tiber their kings, their laws and the oracles of their fate.' The name of the Beast is therefore the same in Hebrew, Greek and Latin; and contains the same number in each language. But the subject is not yet exhausted. The name of the Pope and of every Latin Bishop may be expressed thus : LATINUS R. R. or LATINUS RECTE REVERENDUS. Let every Romish Bishop attend to this! His signature is A Right Reverend Latin,' and this contains the number 666! But again: when the Pope speaks ex cathedra, he is said to be infallible. And 666. The number of the Beast is also contained in LATINUS DUCATUS. (A LATIN DUKEDOM.) This seems to refer to the Beast being "the Eighth ;" in other words, to the Pope being "the Eighth" and succeeding to the Dukedom of Rome. LATINUS DUCATUS is not, however, the name of a Man. But the Pope may be described as LATINUS DUCATU. (A LATIN BY DUKEDOM.) Other forms of the name of the Beast will easily present themselves, as LATINUS VOCANDUS. LATINUS CAVENDUS. But we will now return to the name Instead of the double, we will substitute the simple cross; and we have The number of the Beast, we are told, is X, E, s. Here = 10; and is not only the mark of the Beast, as being the sign of the cross, but as denoting the 10 horns, or kingdoms of the Papacy. The same observation applies to the following name X LATINUS DOCTOR X A LATIN TEACHER. |
