THE
POPE
OF
Rome
is
that
Antichrist
OF
WHOME
THE
Prophets
and
Apostles
haue
Prophecied
.
HAuing
heretofore
discoursed
concerning
Christ
,
that
is
,
the
person
,
the
office
,
and
the
estate
of
Christ
;
we
will
now
entreate
concerning
Antichrist
:
that
the
glorie
of
Christ
maie
be
somewhat
the
better
vnderstood
:
because
,
that
(
according
to
the
common
saying
)
Things
contrarie
appeare
more
euidently
by
their
comparison
.
Antichrist
in
generall
is
hee
,
who
Christ
,
vnder
the
name
and
pretence
of
Christ
:
for
thus
he
is
described

Antichrist
is
of
two
kindes
:
for
Of
the
first
sorte
are
all
heretikes
,
which
haue
beene
euer
since
the
Apostles
Cerinthus
,
Valentinus
,
Marcion
,
Sabellius
,
Arius
,
Nestorius
,
Eutiches
,
Pelagius
,
and
the
rest
:
who
haue
opposed
themselues
against
either
the
person
,
or
office
of
Christ
:
and
of
this
kinde
speaketh
1.
Ioh.
1.
2
,
18.
Of
the
second
kinde
is
some
one
Antichrist
,
by
way
of
primacie
,
superioritie
,
or
principalitie
:
and
vnto
whome
the
Antichristes
,
which
are
of
the
former
sorte
,
haue
onely
(
as
it
were
his
forerunners
)
paued
and
prepared
the
way

And
what
this
Antichrist
is
,
and
who
hee
should
be
,
is
now
chiefelie
to
be
enquired
,
because
at
this
present
,
the
controuersie
betwixt
vs
and
the
Papists
concerneth
him
:
wherein
we
will
especiallie
declare
,
what
is
that
which
wee
defend
.
Now
let
it
not
seeme
strange
to
any
,
that
we
doe
somwhat
dissent
from
some
of
the
ancient
fathers
in
former
times
.
For
before
such
time
,
as
Antichrist
was
come
into
the
world
,
and
before
hee
was
reueiled
:
the
interpretation
of
that
prophecie
,
which
was
not
then
fulfilled
,
was
verie
hard
.
But
now
seeing
he
is
come
into
the
worlde
,
and
remaineth
and
reigneth
in
the
same
:
in
so
much
,
that
the
euent
&
the
experience
of
the
thing
it selfe
,
is
verie
answerable
to
the
prophecies
of
the
Prophets
and
Apostles
:
it
is
more
easie
to
determine
thereof
.
First
therfore
,
this
Antichrist
(
who
is
so
termed
by
the
way
of
excellencie
,
both
in
the
scripture
and
in
the
writings
of
the
fathers
)
is
also
called
by
other
The
man
of
sinne
,
the
sonne
of
perdition
,
the
Adversarie
:
Abaddon
,
Apollyon
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
:
the
king
of
Locusts
:
the
beast
:
the
whore
:
the
dragon
:
the
false
prophet
:
the
Angell
of
the
deepe
,
and
such
like
,
as
ye
maie
find
in
the
2.
Thessalonians
and
the
second
chapter
:
as
also
in
the
Reuelation
.
Furthermore
,
there
haue
beene
,
as
it
were
,
certaine
Types
or
figures
of
him
in
the
olde
Testament
:
Antiochus
Epiphanes
,
by
whome
Daniel
describeth
Antichrist
(
whose
Prophecie
extendeth
euen
to
these
last
daies
)
and
diuers
other
,
who
were
the
principall
and
capitall
enemies
of
the
auncient
Church
,
and
people
of
God
,
Zachar.
11.
v.
15
,
16
,
17
,
&c.
But
thus
hee
is
defined
in
the
Scripure
:
to
witte
,
that
hee
is
a
man
,
Wherefore
to
proue
that
this
Antichrist
is
a
man
,
the
scripture
witnesseth
it
,
2.
Thes.
2.
3.
Dan.
7.
6.
where
he
is
verie
expresselie
called
a
man
.
And
that
he
is
not
simplie
any
one
person
alone
,
nor
any
particular
or
singular
man
,
but
one
sort
or
kinde
of
men
,
which
(
as
one
man
,
or
as
a
certaine
order
,
or
companie
and
state
of
Individuum
:
but
as
a
corporation
of
men
,
and
setteth
his
owne
marke
vpon
them
,
Reuel.
13.
17.
For
first
Paul
mencioneth
an
Apostacie
,
that
is
,
a
generall
departure
,
&
reuolting
from
the
faith
,
which
indeed
maketh
one
bodie
or
corporation
,
and
one
kingdome
:
this
is
a
matter
which
can
not
be
effected
suddenlie
,
but
requireth
many
yeeres
thereunto
.
Further
he
proueth
verie
clearely
,
that
the
misterie
of
iniquitie
,
should
be
compounded
and
consist
of
manie
errours
,
&
grow
by
little
and
little
.
Thirdlie
he
affirmeth
,
that
the
kingdome
should
continue
and
endure
a
long
space
,
to
wit
,
vntill
it
should
be
vtterlie
abolished
,
by
the
comming
of
the
Lorde
at
the
end
of
the
world
.
This
kingdome
is
signified
by
the
cruell
beast
and
by
Babylon
,
Reuel.
13.
11.
&
18
Chapter
,
as
Irenaeus
witnesseth
in
his
fift
booke
,
and
the
thirteenth
chapter
:
and
Ierome
is
of
the
same
minde
;
and
Augustine
in
his
20
booke
De
Civitate
Dei
,
and
the
19
chapter
.
Beda
also
and
diuers
others
did
see
the
same
.
Further
it
is
signified
by
manie
waters
,
Reuel.
17.
1.
And
Iohn
speaketh
of
the
chiefe
and
principall
citizens
,
and
subiects
of
his
kingdome
,
saying
after
this
maner
,
There
shal
be
Locusts
,
having
vpon
their
heades
crownes
like
to
gold
.
Reuel.
9.

,
7.
And
againe
,
there
shall
be
three
vncleane
spirites
proceeding
out
of
his
mouth
.
Reuel.
16.
13.
Finally
,
all
both
great
ond
small
,
rich
and
poore
,
bonde
and
free
,
shall
receiue
the
marke
of
the
beast
in
their
right
handes
,
and
in
their
foreheads
,
Reuel.
13.
16.
Further
,
that
which
followeth
,
that
he
is
aduersarie
to
Christ
,
that
hee
Hee
shall
speake
wordes
against
the
most
High
.
And
by
Saint
Paul
1.
Thess.
2.
3.
Where
he
foretelleth
,
that
there
shuld
be
first
are
volting
before
that
the
Antichrist
should
come
:
Adding
further
,
that
Antichrist
should
sit
in
the
temple
of
God
:
that
is
,
in
the
Christian
Church
.
For
although
Antichrist
professe
himselfe
a
friend
and
disciple
vnto
Christ
,
yet
shall
hee
set
him selfe
against
Christ
,
as
it
were
in
the
name
of
Christ
,
or
vnder
colour
and
pretence
of
the
profession
of
Christianitie
:
That
is
more
plainelie
thus
:
Though
he
doe
not
openlie
oppugne
and
resist
the
doctrine
of
Christ
,
but
maketh
profession
thereof
,
reseruing
both
the
titles
and
names
:
yet
shall
he
bring
impietie
into
the
roome
of
the
doctrine
of
pietie
,
which
hee
dissembleth
,
and
shall
drawe
men
by
little
and
little
,
out
of
the
Kings
high
waie
of
faith
,
by
his
ordinations
and
traditions
.
And
of
this
iudgement
is
Hilarie
,
who
thus
writeth
against
Auxentius
:
Hee
shal
be
contrarie
vnto
Christ
,
vnder
the
showe
of
preaching
the
Gospell
:
that
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
may
then
be
denied
,
when
men
suppose
that
he
is
preached
.
And
Chrisostome
also
is
of
the
same
minde
,
in
his
49.
Homilie
vpon
Matthew
.
As
for
his
double
authoritie
,
Spirituall
Temporall
,
it
appeareth
by
the
two
kinds
of
his
names
:
as
,
first
that
he
is
called
a
king
by
Daniel
,
and
is
reckoned
amongst
those
ten
earthlie
kings
(
of
whome
consisteth
the
Romane
Monarchie
)
and
must
spring
vp
in
the
midst
of
them
,
arising
vp
from
a
very
low
degreee
,
till
at
length
hee
subdue
all
the
other
kings
vnto
him selfe
,
Dan.

&

&

Secondly
,
this
is
he
whom
Zacharie
calleth
the
foolish
shepheard
,
cap
11.
15.
And
whome
Iohn
nameth
a
false
prophet
,
Reuel.

&c.
19.
20.
&
chap.

10.
Touching
his
signes
and
miracles
,
And
that
he
vaunteth
himselfe
as
The
mouth
speaking
presumptuous
words
:
&c.
11.
36.
He
shal
aduance
&
extoll
himselfe
aboue
euery
God
.
&
2.
Th.
2.
4.
He
shal
exalt
himself
aboue
al
that
is
called
God
,
or
is
worshipped
.
And
to
conclude
,
in
Dan.
7.
25.
He
shall
imagin
that
he
is
able
to
change
both
times
and
lawes
,
at
his
owne
pleasure
.
For
his
idolatrie
,
it
is
taught
by
Dan.
11.
36.
He
shall
doe
worship
vnto
the
god
Maozim
,
that
is
,
the
god
of
defences
,
&c:
as
also
Reuel.
17.
2.
&
18.
3.
9.
What
his
hypocrisie
is
,
we
learne
His
eyes
are
as
the
eyes
of
a
man
:
&
v.
25.
He
shal
speake
words
against
the
most
high
:
&
Reuel.
13.
11.
He
shall
haue
two
hornes
of
a
lamb
,
but
shal
speake
like
a
dragon
:
that
is
,
he
shal
couer
a
woolfe
vnder
a
sheeps
skinne
:
&
2.
Tim.
3.
5.
Hauing
a
forme
or
shew
of
godlines
,
&c.
Further
,
his
pride
&
ambition
is
He
had
a
mouth
speaking
presumptuously
:
&
ch.
8.
25.
He
shall
extoll
himselfe
,
&c.
1.

2.
There
shal
be
men
both
arrogant
and
proud
:
&

Pet.

They
shall
despise
gouernment
(
that
is
,
the
ciuill
magistrate
,
ordeined
by
God
)
bold
,
and
presumptuous
,
and
such
as
stande
in
their
conceit
:
in
which
manner
also
Iude
writeth
,
vers.
8.
His
blasphemie
:
that
is
to
say
,
that
He
shall
speake
against
the
God
of
gods
:
&
Reuel.
13.
6.
He
shall
speake
blasphemie
against
God
.
His
licentiousnes
,
to
wit
,
that
hee
He
shal
suppose
that
he
is
able
to
change
both
times
&
laws
:
&

He
shall
doe
euen
what
he
list
.
His
single
life
is
setdown
,
Dan.
11.
37.
He
shall
not
regard
nor
vnderstand
the
desires
of
women
:
where
is
ment
,
as
Ierome
saith
,
that
vnder
pretence
of
holines
,
he
should
be
an
enemie
vnto
marriage
:
so
in
the
1.
to
Tim.
4.
3.
He
shal
forbid
to
make
marriages
.
As
for
his
filthie
fornication
,
and
licences
to
vse
and
follow
outragious
and
dissolute
lusts
,
wee
finde

They
shall
command
to
absteine
from
meats

Where
the
meaning
is
not
simplie
to
be
vnderstood
of
abstistinence
from
all
kind
of
meats
:
(
for
this
would
neuer
haue
beene
effected
,
nor
yet
could
possiblie
be
obserued
)
but
onely
of
making
some
choice
and
difference
of
meates
.
Yet
of
his
excesse
and
effeminate
and
daintie
life
,
wee
are
taught
,
Reuel.

extoll
him selfe

of
the

it
is
said
that

fierce

impudent

His
crueltie
(
which
is
especially
bent
against

for

to

that

appeare

doe
interpret

For
although
the
mysterie

iniquitie
began
to
worke
,
as
yet
secretly
vnder-hand
,
&
,
as
it
were
,
by
vndermining

from

of
the
Apostles
,
2.

yet
afterwards
Antichrist
was
to
issue

break
forth
with
full
streame
,
&
euidently
to
shew
himselfe
,
as
it
were
,
proceeding
out
of
the
ruines
of
the
Romane
Empire
,
2.

And
this
time
Iohn
seemeth
to
note
,
Reuel.
13.

when
hee
faith
,
that
Antichrist
should
come
666
yeeres
after
,
to
wit
,
after
the
birth
of
Christ
:
His
words
are
these
,
Let
him
that
hath
wisdom
count
the
number
of
the
yeres
:
for
it
is
the
number
of
a
man
,
&
it
is
666.
Concerning
the
place
,
that
he
was
Romane
Empire
;
it
appeareth
also
by
Daniel
&
Paul
,
as
we
haue
touched
heretofore
:
as
also
by
the
17.
of
the
Reue.

For

15.
And
therefore
herby
is
signified
,
that
Antichrist
should
publikely
vsurp
the
chiefe
jurisdiction
&
authority
in
the
Church
of
God
;
yet
shuld
he
not
professe
any
open
&
flat
denial
of
Christ
,
but
onely
he
should
bring
in
extreame
impietie
,
vnder
the
pretence
of
the
doctrine
of

,
that

Yet
here
by
is
insinuated
,
that
in
this
last
time
of
the
worlde
Antichrist
was
more
fullie
and
clearelie
to
be
reueiled
by
the
great
and
singular
goodnesse
of
God
:
by
men
endued
with
the
spirit
of
Elias
and
Enoch
:
and
that
the
doctrine
of
Christ
should
be
brought
to
light
,
and
Antichrist
grieuously
tormented
.
36
Finally
,
touching
his
destruction
For
although
the
kingdome
of
Antichrist
shal
be
shaken
before
the
last
day
and
comming
of
Christ
,
and
shall
be
pulled
downe
,
as
it
were
,
by
piecemeale
,
by
reason
of
thereuolting
of
Prouinces
:
yet
there
shall
alwaie
remaine
a
state
and
forme
thereof
:
but
euen
this
also
shall
be
vtterly
abolished
,
in
the
last
time
of
the
worlde
.
This
is
our
definition
of
Antichrist
,
and
the
declaration
of
the
same
definition
out
of
the
old
&
new
Testament
.
But
the
Papistes
define
it
after
a
Dan
,
and
be
circumcised
:
who
(
being
accepted
of
the
Iewes
for
the
Messias
)
should
reigne
and
tyrannize
at
Ierusalem
the
space
of
three
yeeres
and
sixe
moneths
,
and
whome
Christ
should
at
the
length
kill
in
mount
Oliuet
,
whilest
he
entendeth
to
ascend
vp
into
heauen
:
Which
definition
of
theirs
will
be
more
examined
in
our
disputations
.
That
the
Pope
is
Antichrist
.
HItherto
wee
haue
declared
,
what
Antichrist
is
:
now
wee
will
shewe
who
he
is
,
and
to
whome
this
definition
before
set
downe
will
best
agree
.
Therefore
wee
affirme
,
that
the
Pope
of
Rome
is
that
Antichrist
:
&
thus

For
the
Pope

The
Pope
in
the
night
of
the
birth
of
our
Lorde
doeth
hallowe
the
sword
,
which
he
afterward
giueth
vnto
some
Prince
,
in
token
of
the
infinite
power
which
is
giuen
vnto
the
Pope
,
according
to
that
saying
,
All
power
is
giuen
vnto
me
in
heauen
&
in

:
&
that
also
,
He
shal
rule
from
seato

,
&
from
the
riuer
to
the
ende
of
the
earth
.
So
it
is
also
in
the
Glosse
of
the
Canon
law
,
to
wit
,
that
the
Pope
is
al
things
,
&
aboue
all
things
:
that
he
is
the
lord
of
lords
,
&
hath
the
right
of
the
king
of
kings
ouer
his
subiects
:
that
he
may
turn
round
into
square
:
that
he
is
the
cause
of
causes
;
&
therfore
no
inquirie
is
to
be
made
into
his
authoritie
,
because
there
is
no
cause
of
the
first
cause
,
that
the
whole
world
is
the
Popes
diocesse
:
that
his
authority
extendeth
vnto
things
in
heauen
&
earth
,
and
vnder
the
earth
:
that
he
may
command
the
Angels
:
that
he
hath
so
great
power
both
in
Purgatorie
&
also
in
hell
:
that
hee
can
by
his
pardons
,
deliuer
as
many
soules
as
hee
will
which
are
in
those
places
,
&
place
them
presently
in
heauen
,
&
in
the
seats
of
them
which
be
blessed
:
as
it
is
saide
in
the
Bull
of
Clement
the
sixt
:
that
hee
hath
such
power
in
heauen
,
that
hee
may
canonize
whome
hee
will
that
is
dead
for
a
saint
,
though
all
Byshops
and
Cardinals
were
against
it
.
And
who
can
recken
vp
all
his
blasphemies
?
To
conclude
,
Sixtus
quintus
,
to
omit
the
rest
,
doth
at
this
day
thus
begin
in
one
of
his
Bulles

The
authoritie
graunted
to

Peter

and
to
all

Further
,
behold
,
the

to

it
,
to
whomsoeuer

are

appointed
of
God
,
aboue
nations
&
kingdoms
,
that
we
may
destroy

,

&

And
thus
say
the

,
that
the
Emp.
is
the
Popes
vassall
,
and
that
hee
hath
the
Empire
of
him
in

The
acts
of
the
Bishops
of
Rome
afford
vs
plentifull
examples
;
who
haue
either
proclaimed
as
deposed

at

Gregory

Innocentius

Boniface

with
Philip
Pulcher
the
K.
of

:
whom
they
did
excommunicate
,
&
either
did
depose
,
or
labored
to
depose
them
from
their
Empire
&
kingdoms
.
And
at
this
day
Sixtus
the

doeth
depriue
the
king
of
Navar
and
prince
of
Condie
of
their
kingdome

hee

In

there
is
neither

nor

But
yet
he
is
indeed
prophane
,
wicked
,
&
an
Atheist
,
because
he
getteth
this
kingdome
by
magique
or
Symonie
,
or
else
by

,
sedition
,
and
tumult
,
&
both
he
himselfe
beareth
&
also
suffereth
others
to
beare
the
titles
&
names
of
holy
offices
,
without
the
thing
itselfe
.
For
if
you
do
take
a
view
either
of
the
ministerie
of
the
word
&
sacraments
,
or
of
the
whole
gouernment
of
the
Church
,
it
appeareth
that
the
bishops
&
others
besides
,
doe
not
execute
any
part
of
their
owne
function
,
but
are
wholly
emploied
about
temporall
affaires
,
contrarie
to
the
word
of
God
&
the
ancient
canons
.
We
haue
examples
herof
in
Gregory
the
5
,
who
being
caried
with
a
deuilish
desire
of
authority
,
did
first
by
bribes
obtain
the
Archbishoprick
of
Rhenes
,
and
afterwarde
got
by
the
deuils
assistance
the
Popedome
itselfe
:
on
this
condition
,
that
after
his
death
the
deuil
shoulde
wholly
haue
him
,
as
Platina
recordeth
.
In
Gregory
the
7
,
who
being
a
Magitian
,
caused
that
stones
fell
downe
from
aboue
when
Henry
the
3
Emperor
was
praying
in
the
temple
:
&
when
he
was
seeking
answers
from
God
against
the
Emp.
he
cast
the
sacrament
of
the
body
of
the
lord
into
the
fire
,
as
Platina
doeth
witnesse
.
In
Iohn
the
eight
,
or
rather
Ione
,
a
woman
,
who
dissembling
her
sexe
,
obtained
and
exercised
the
Popedome
,
vntil
such
time
,
as
her
tranell
did
bewray
what
shee
was
:
as
againe
Platina
and
verie
manie
others
doe
witnesse
.
In
Iohn
the
thirteene
who
gaue
himselfe
vnto
Sathan
corporally
,
as
it
is
registred
in
Fasciculo
Temporum
.
In
Sylvester
the
second
,
of
whome
Iohannes
Stella
the
Venetian
writeth
,
that
hee
was
appointed
Pope
by
the
assistance
of
the
deuill
,
on
this
condition
,
that
after
his
death
hee
might
haue
him
whollie
,
both
soule
&
bodie
,
by
whose
subtiltie
he
attained
to
so
great
promotion
.
In
Benedictus
the
ninth
and
Gregorie
the
sixt
:
and
moreouer
in
Sixtus
the
fourth
(
as
the
said
Cardinall
Benno
witnesseth
)
who
being
at
Florence
in
the
Church
,
when
(
after
a
watch
word
giuen
)
the
Eucharist
was
taken
away
,
hee
would
(
by
his
conspiratours
)
haue
killed
the
two
brethren
Iulianus
and
Laurentius
Medices
:
and
did
indeede
slay
the
one
and
wound
the
other
:
as
Raphael
Volateran
recordeth
in
the
5
of
his
Geographie
.
In
Leo
the
tenth
,
who
is
reported
to
haue
answered
vnto
Peter
Bembus
,
when
hee
alledged
a
saying
out
of
the
Gospell
:
What
doest
thou
alledge
or
tell
me
of
that
fable
?
Hee
is
also
blasphemous
,
in
that
he
claimeth
for
his
owne
that
which
He
is
also
ambitious
and
proud
,
both
in
his
wordes
and
deedes
,
because
Liber
ceremoniarum
Romanae
curiae
:
Where
it
is
saide
,
that
all
men
of
what
honour
or
preheminence
soeuer
they
be
,
so
soone
as
they
come
within
the
sight
of
the
Pope
,
ought
to
bowe
their
knees
thrise
,
obseruing
equall
distance
of
pace
,
and
to
kisse
his
feete
.
Further
,
when
the
Pope
doeth
get
vp
on
horse-backe
,
the
greatest
prince
of
them
which
be
present
though
he
be
a
king
or
Emperour
must
hold
the
Popes
stirrup
,
&
then
lead
the
horse
by
the
bridle
a
little
on
the
way
.
But
if
that
the
Pope
be
not
carried
on
horsebacke
but
on
his
chaire
,
whether
hee
be
king
or
Emperour
that
is
present
it
skilleth
not
,
they
must
cary
the
seate
it selfe
with
the
Pope
in
it
,
a
while
vpon
their
shoulders
.
Againe
,
that
the
prince
of
the
city
(
into
which
the
Pope
shall
enter
)
though
he
be
a
king
,
shall
leade
the
popes
horse
by
the
bridle
:
or
if
the
pope
be
caried
in
his
chaire
,
shall
(
together
with
the
chiefe
of
his
Nobles
)
carry
the
same
a
good
way
:
then
,
when
the
pope
commandeth
him
,
the
king
shall
take
his
horse
&
ride
according
vnto
his
place
.
Further
,
the
Emperor
must
at
the
baket
holde
water
for
the
pope
to
wash
his
hands
.
And
moreouer
,
when
the
pope
hath
a
feast
,
the
Emperor
or
els
the
king
of
the
Romans
must
cary
the
first
messe
or
seruice
.
And
to
conclude
,
the
pope
doth
no
reuerence
at
all
to
any
man
,
only
he
raiseth
vp
himselfe
when
the
Emperour
kisseth
him
.
For
examples
these
are
chiefly
to
be
noted
:
first
of
the
pope
in
generall
,
who
offreth
his
feet
to
be
kissed
of
the
Emperor
,
kings
princes
,
Cardinals
,
S.
Peter

Pseudoconstantinus
or
that
feigned
Constantine
helde
his
horse

in
his
hand
when
he
tooke
horse
and
plaid

gentleman
vsher
or
sergeant
before
him
.

Thirdly
of
pope
Hadrian
the
fourth
,
who
was
very
angry
with
Fredericke
the
Emperour
,
and
did
in
reproch
obiect
vnto
him
,
that
when
as
hee
woulde
haue
helde
his
stirrup
at
his
lighting
downe
from
his
horse
,
he
came
and
helde
not
the
further
stirrup
as
hee
should
,
but
the
other
.
And
that
he
also
had
set
the
Emperours
name
before
the
popes
in
certain
letters
which
were
sent
vnto
him
.
Fourthly
of
Alexander
the
third
,
who
set
one
foote
in
the
necke
of
Fredericke
the
Emperour
,
when
he
was
prostrate
and
suppliant
at
his
feet
in
the
Cathedrall
Church
of
Venice
,
that
he
might
haue
his
excommunication
released
,
and
commanding
,
that
the
verse
of
Psalme
should
be
song
of
his
priests
,
Thou
shult
walke
vpon
the
Serpent
,
and
the
Basiliske
:
thou
shalt
tread
vnder
foote

Fiftly
,
of
Boniface
the
eight
,
Anno
1300
,
who
shewed
himselfe
at
Rome
in
a
great
assembly
of
the
people
(
by
reason
of
a
Iubile
then
solemnized
)
the
first
day
of
the
solemnitie
with
all
the
ornaments
of
the
Pope
,
and
the
next
day
hee
came
foorth
clad
with
the
Emperours
robe
,
or
coate
armour
,
and
commaunded
a
drawne
sword
to
be
caried
before
him
,
himselfe
crying
with
a
loud
voice
,
I
am
both
Pope
,
&
Emperor
,
&
haue
authoritie
both
in
heauen
&
earth
:
&
within
few
dayes
after
did
proudly
reiect
Albertus
,
who
was
created
Emp.
by
the
electours
of
the
Empire
,
&
desired
to
be
confirmed
by
him
:
Affirming
moreouer
that
no
election
could
be
authenticall
,
which
was
made
without
his
authority
,
sith
that
he
alone
had
the
authoritie
of
both
the
swords
,
which
when
Albertus
Crautzius
superintendent
of
the
church
of
Hanburgh
reciteth
,
hee
maketh
this
exclamation
;
O
Peter
,
behold
thy
successour
,
&
,
O
Sauiour
Christ
,
behold
thy
Vicar
:
beholde
the
pride
of
the
seruant
of

vnto
what
height
he
is

He
is

(
to
wit
that
the
Pope
may
dispense
with
all
degrees
,
excepting
the
mariage
of
the
father
and
the
sonne
,
with
the
daughter
and
the
mother
.
He
is
also
a
single
man
but
yet
a
filthy
fornicatour
,
because
that
,
hee
in
forbidding

vnto
his

commandeth

But
on
the
contrary
,
hee
permitteth
concubines
,
brothel

,
whoredomes
,
&
filthie
lustes
,
or
at

doeth
tollerate
them

filleth

,
with
Bastards
,
with

,
and
others
more
of
the
same
stampe
,
as
it
is
knowne
full
well
,
and
yet
further
by
giuing
dispensation
,
he
permitteth
incestuous
mariages
:
and
that
which
is
more
then
all
the

,
he
maketh
a

raiseth

Further
,
how
great
was
the
chastitie
and
honestie
of
Alexander
the
sixt
,
it
appeareth
by
this

for

So
Iohn
Casus
Archbishop
of
Beneventum
the
popes
legate
among
the
Venetians
,
hath
commended
&
published
in

that
horrible
kind
of

which
is
not
at

:
yea

&
that
who
is

Iohn

was
both
a

and
an

,
&
as
she
went
to
the

,
shee
traueiled
in
the
third
yere
of
the
Popedome
,
&
died
of
that
trauell
in
the
same
place
,
whereupon
Mantuan
in
his
time
writeth
after
this
maner
:
Jpudor

And

vseth
And
marke
this
diligently
,
that
such
immunities
and
dispensations
are
not
graunted
vnto
them
which
be

:
For
they
,
because
they

Hereof
commeth
it
to
passe
,
that
an
infinite
masse
of
gold
and
siluer
is
brought
vnto
Rome
,
which
afterward
the
Pope
,
Cardinals
,
and
the
rest
of
the

rable
do
consume
in
their
stewes
and

doe

spend

as
it
were
in
the
bottomles
gulfe
of
their
vnsaciable
gluttonie
&
sensualitie
,
to
the
great
shame
&
ignominie
of
Christianitie
:
So
Franciscus
Petrarch
hath
left
it
in
record
,
that
in
the
treasure
house
of
Pope
Iohn
the
22
,
there
was
founde
(
when
hee
was
dead
)
by
his
heires
,
25

thousand

,
that

And
of
Boniface
the
eight
(
who
was
taken
prisoner
&
spoiled
at
the
commandement
of
Philippus
Pulcher
,
the
French
King
)
wee
finde
it
registred
,
that
all
the
kings
of
the
world
were
not
able
to
disburse
so
much
out
of
their
treasurie
within
the
compasse
of
one
yere
,
as
was
taken
and
caried
out
of
the
Popes
palace
:
wherefore
there
haue
alwaies
beene
some
at
all
times
,
who
both
detested
that
in
satiable
hunger
,
and
vncontented
desire
,
and
greedines
of
riches
,
and
also
lotted
not
to
enueigh
against
the
same
:
hereupon
Mantuan
saith
thus
:
—

which
is
in

thus
.

,
Altars
and
Princes
at
Rome
are
to

Kingdomes
and

.
yea
,

,

so

.
And
another
thus
.
Curia

which
may
be
thus

No

And
againe
another
speaketh
after
this
manner
:
The

is
like
vnto
the

into
which
all

in

but
doeth
also

as
may
appeare

in

corruptions
:
which
do
many

for
his
owne
purpose
,
but
as
it
seemeth
out
of
an
imperfect
and
counterfeit
copie
:
in
this
manner
.
Wee
appoint
Churches
,
and
orders
of
Priestes
,
and
holy
rites
,
and
sacrifices
vnto
the
martyrs
,
not
for
that
they
be

,
but
because
their
God
is
ours
,
&c.
Whereas
other
editions
are
thus
.
Yet
doe
not
wee
appoint
temples
,
orders
of
Priestes
,
holy
rites
,
and
sacrifices
vnto
the
saintes
,
&c.
And
the
scope
and
drift
of
Augustine
will
not
admit
of
that
sense
which
the
Iesuite
woulde
haue
:
but
doeth
necessarily
require
this
which
is
all
in
all
our
Copies
.
Further
,
in
that
hee
feigneth
many
reliques
of
the
saintes
,
which
neither
are
nor
possibly
can
be
true
,
vnlesse
we
would
graunt
that
there
be
many
bodies
,
many
heades
,
many
armes
,
of
one
saint
or
holie
man
.
For
if
so
bee
that
all
the
reliques
of
the
Saintes
were
brought
together
,
the
bodies
of
the
saintes
would
not
be
onely
verie
vaste
for
their
quantitie
of
huge
bignesse
,
and
verie
monstrous
for
the
number
of
the
members
:
but
also
oftentimes
there
woulde
bee
more
bodies
then
one
of
one
and
the
same
Saint
.
In
that
hee
counterfaiteth
miracles
,
which
neither
are
,
nor
haue
beene
wrought
,
as
was
shewed
before
.
In
that
hee
pretendeth
the
name
of
Christ
&
the
saluation
of
the
Church
:
But
indeede
doeth
seeke
his
owne
honour
and
commoditie
.
For
he
calleth
them
the
Riches
of
the
Church
,
and
Patrimonie
of
Christ
.
But
did
Christ
possesse
any
such
things
?
Thou
bearest
the
name
and
title
of
Bishops
,
but
altogether
voide
of
the
substance
.
Thou
hearest
the
name
of
Patriarkes
,
Superintendentes
,
Abbats
:
but
if
thou
take
away
the
outwarde
visard
and
ceremonie
,
what
will
remaine
?
Thou
hearest
the
names
of
the
Fraternities
:
and
they
are
schismes
or
diuisions
.
Thou
hearest
of
the
orders
and
contemplatiue
life
:
what
is
it
but
confusion
and
senselesnesse
?
Thou
hearest
of
continencie
:
and
it
is
nothing
but
riotousnesse
.
Thou
hearest
of
the
pouertie
,
especially
of
the
Monkes
,
and
what
is
it
but
deliciousnes
?
Thou
hearest
of
chastitie
and
single
life
,
and
what
is
this
but
filthie
lecherie
?
Thou
hearest
of
humilitie
,
and
it
is
pride
and
arrogancie
.
Finally
thou
seest
the
sheepes
skinne
,
but
there
is
a
wolfe
lurking
within
it
.
For
hee
indeed
professeth
humilitie
,
but
exalteth
himselfe
aboue
all
others
:
hee
voweth
chastitie
,
but
vseth
adulterie
:
yea
and
more
is
further
from
all
honestie
:
no
man
(
as
it
is
full
well
knowne
vnto
all
men
)
doth
more
defile
himselfe
with
all
kinde
of
villanie
:
hee
celebrateth
a
feast
,
and
yet
he
playeth
the
glutton
in
the
same
.
Againe
,
hee
is
cruell
,
as
those
terrible
excommunications
and
edicts
do
shew
,
which
Nero
,
beholding
in
his
turret
the
citie
set
on
fire
,
which
himselfe
had
fired
,
doth
feede
and
please
his
mind
,
and
delight
his
eies
with
such
a
hidious
and
pitiful
spectacle
.
What
mischiefe
did
he
work
in
that
voyage
to
Ierusalem
,
for
the
recouerie
of
the
sepulchre
of
the
Lorde
,
the
citie
Ierusalem
,
and
the
holy
lande
?
which
was
first
begun
by
Gregorie
the
8
:
one
,
who
was
more
cruell
and
abominable
then
Nero
himselfe
:
and
after
prosecuted
by
Vrbanus
,
the
deare
and
most
neare
friend
which
Gregorie
had
:
wherein
the
West
fought
against
the
East
verie
dangerouslie
,
&
the
Christian
souldiers
so
vsed
the
matter
by
spoiling
&
killing
Christians
,
Iewes
,
&
others
,
&
by
committing
other
outrages
,
that
all
the
warres
which
were
made
by
the
Romanes
being
Gentiles
,
may
(
in
comparison
of
that
)
bee
called
Christian
,
godly
,
and
holy
.
Howe
madly
and
furiously
haue
the
Counter
popes
raged
together
,
euen
that
they
might
dispatch
one
another
,
onely
to
serue
their
owne
ambition
?
To
conclude
,
how
many
and
how
great
persecutions
hath
the
Pope
caused
within
this
60
yeeres
?
what
torments
hath
he
inflicted
vpon
men
faithfull
,
and
holy
,
whome
he
proclaimed
as
heretiques
,
especially
in
France
,
and
the
low
Countries
.
For
because
that
he
is
cruell
,
he
doeth
persecute
the
saintes
,
but
he
worshippeth
them
when
they
be
placed
in
heauen
.
For
this
is
the
propertie
of
a
bloody
and
cruell
man
,
to
iniurie
those
which
are
his
equals
,
or
them
who
are
his
inferiours
&
whom
he
may
hurt
:
but
as
for
them
who
are
his
betters
,
&
whom
he
can
not
hurt
,
but
feareth
lest
himselfe
be
hurt
by
them
,
these
he
reuerenceth
.
He
also
appeared
by
little
&
litle
by
the
Hee

since
the

He
appeared
in
the
temple
of
God
.
that
is
,
in
the
Churches
,
and
there
he
still
sitteth
and
Peter
:
for
there
was
the
true
Church
where
the
Pope
of
Rome
first
appeared
as
Antichrist
,
and
afterward
there
remained
the
name
,
the
title
,
&
the
print
of
the
Church
,
there
was
the
bible
,
that
is
,
the
booke
of
the
Prophets
&
Apostles
,
there
remained
the
true
doctrine
concerning
God
,
concerning
the
trinitie
of
the
deuine
persons
,
&
concerning
the
person
of
Christ
,
there
remained
baptisme
together
with
the
creed
of
the
Apostles
:
and
though
the
Popedome
was
not
then
,
no
more
then
in
trueth
it
is
now
the
Church
,
yet
the
Church
was
,
and
did
as
it
were
,
lie
hid
in
the
Papacie
.
He
sitteth
at
Rome
betwixt
two
seas
,
Tyrrhenum
&
Adriaticum
,
for
here
is
the
seate
of
the
Pope
,
wherein
oftentimes
,
(
for
sometimes
the
place
is
changed
)
he
dwelleth
bodily
.
He
is
discouered
in
these
last
daies
of
the
world
,
first
by
Iohn
Hus
,
secondly
by
Martin
Luther
,
Germanie
,
Switserland
,
then
in
England
,
Scotland
,
France
,
Flanders
,
Denmarke
,
&
other
prouinces
.
And
though
that
vnluckie
contention
concerning
the
supper
of
the
Lorde
,
did
straightwaie
beginne
,
amongst
the
preachers
of
the
Gospell
,
euen
in
the
beginning
thereof
,
and
continueth
also
vnto
this
day
(
Satan
endeauouring
thereby
to
hinder
and
staie
the
cause
of
the
gospell
)
yet
we
are
to
thinke
thus
:
First
,
that
Sathan
hath
not
now
begun
,
but
hath
practised
long
agoe
,
to
set
at
variance
the
holy
seruants
of
God
,
as
Paul
and
Barnabas
,
and
againe
the
same
Paul
and
Peter
with
others
more
:
secondlie
,
that
as
concerning
the
foundation
of
the
doctrine
&
religion
of
Christ
,
&
all
things
necessarie
vnto
saluation
,
there
hath
alwaies
bene
and
still
is
,
an
agreement
betwixt
those
men
,
who
are
the
restorers
of
this
gospell
which
now
beginneth
to
take
life
againe
.
For
hauing
consuted
merit
,
and
trust
reposed
in
workes
wherwith
miserable
men
were
bewitched
in
time
of
Poperie
,
both
parties
agreed
,
that
our
whole
saluation
consisteth
in
the
merites
of
Christ
:
onely
the
difference
is
in
the
supper
of
the
Lorde
,
concerning
the
corporall
presence
,
and
the
bodily
eating
,
and
that
the
same
is
common
vnto
the
godlie
and
the
wicked
(
as
the
one
part
defendeth
)
and
so
not
necessarie
vnto
saluation
.
Thirdly
,
it
is
no
great
maruell
,
if
in
the
beginning
of
reformation
,
&
as
it
were
,
in
the
dawning
of
the
day
,
all
things
were
not
at
the
first
well
considered
:
for
it
can
scarsely
be
declared
what
a
deep
gulfe
of
ignorance
was
in
popery
,
and
what
an
horrible
darkenesse
by
reason
of
errours
.
And
doubtlesse
,
it
was
a
verie
great
miracle
wrought
by
God
,
that
those
first
doctours
of
the
gospell
could
arise
from
thence
,
in
so
litle
and
short
space
.
And
although
the
Iesuites
which
are
lately
sprong
vp
,
indeauour
to
heale
this
wounde
of
Antichrist
,
yet
shall
they
neuer
fullie
cure
the
same
.
Finally
,
he
shal
be
destroied
in
the
last
daie
of
Christ
,
when
he
returneth
to
iudgement
,
Which
things
sith
they
are
all
true
,
it
followeth
,
that
the
Pope
since
the
death
of
Hitherto
wee
haue
shewed
,
who
this
great
Antichrist
is
.
But
as
in
the
former
question
,
the
Papistes
doe
differ
from
vs
,
what
Antichrist
should
be
,
so
likewise
in
this
latter
,
who
Antichrist
should
be
:
for
as
they
doe
define
Antichrist
otherwise
then
we
,
so
doe
they
vtterly
denie
that
the
Pope
of
Rome
is
that
Antichrist
.
For
the
Pope
with
his
adherents
(
now
playing
the
part
of
Antichrist
)
doeth
feigne
another
Antichrist
,
and
teacheth
that
he
is
yet
to
come
,
least
he
himselfe
should
bee
thought
to
be
the
Antichrist
indeed
.
Of
whose
opinion
and
their
reasons
we
will
say
more
as
occasion
shall
be
offered
:
for
the
manner
of
our
positions
will
not
now
permit
vs
to
speake
of
the
same
.
God
the
Father
graunt
for
our
Lorde
Iesus
Christes
sake
,
that
men
may
learne
to
knowe
