Revelation 9:21
Revelation 9:21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
In this verse there are four sorts of heinous sins mentioned, which these apostates lived in without repentance; to wit, murder, sorcery, fornication, and thefts.
Neither repented they of their murders.
The murders of those apostate Romans are of two sorts; First, the Jesuits, priests, friars, and the rest of the Roman clergy, murdered the souls of them that believed their false doctrines, and practised their image-worship. Secondly, they murdered the bodies of many, because they would not worship images, crucifixes, come to mass, fall down before their host, and worship their heathen God, the consecrated wafer.
Nor of their sorceries;
whereby we are to understand those false doctrines by which the Roman priests did bewitch the poor ignorant people. \ And their false miracles, such as are called lying wonders. \
Nor of their fornications;
that is, of their corporal and spiritual whoredoms. The fornication of the great Whore, and the Mother of Harlots, \ mystical Babylon.
Nor of their Thefts:
In taking and getting to the Roman Church the papal clergy, and religious houses, monasteries, nunneries, priories, etc. by indirect ways and means, such great revenues, under pretext and pretence of giving pardons, indulgences, dispensations, etc. Platina, Martinus, Unaphrius, and Bellarmine himself, have written enough, to testify, that the Roman papal clergy are guilty of these heinous sins.
