"And their land is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land also is full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots." — Isaiah 2:7 (ASV)
Their land also is full of silver and gold
Procured by pardons, indulgences, masses, praying souls out of purgatory, tithes, annates, Peter's pence
neither [is there any] end of their treasures ;
laid up in the pope's coffers, in their churches, monasteries, and convents:
their land is also full of horses, neither [is there any] end of
their chariots ;
for the cardinals, archbishops, bishops to ride on and in. Horses and chariots are mentioned among the wares and merchandise of Rome, in (Revelation 18:13) .
