Titolo |
The measvring rod of the Lord stretched forth over all nations and the line of true judgment laid to the rulers thereof [[electronic resource] ] : wherein all governours and rulers, potentates and powers are measured, and all governments and lawes weighed in the true weight : wherein they all may see how far they are degenerated from the law of righteousness, and the rules of wisdome, which was in the beginning, before tyranny, and persecution, and rebellion had shewed it selfe : also shewing the end that will come upon all those rulers and governments, rulers and lawes that have been made in the apostacy, which is to all overthrown ... : also an advertisement to all the rulers upon the earth ... : published for the information of all the rulers upon earth ... / / by one who waits to see the kingdoms of the world to become the kingdomes of the Lord ...
