Tim. 41. where the doctrine of Antichrist is called the doctrine of deuils and in the 13. of the Reuel 4. where the dragon is called author and cause of the whole state of Antichrist which is conueyed into the Romane Empire and in the 18. where Babylon that is the seat and kingdome of Antichrist is called the habitation of deuils the house of foule spirits and a cage of euery vncleane and foule bird chap. 18. 2.

Concerning the place that he was to spring out of the ruines of the Romane Monarchie
former beautie first in 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 shalbe destroied in the last daie of Christ when he returneth to iudgement and shalbe cast into the lake of fire and brimstone according vnto the prophecie before declared In the meane season we are patiently to beare that persecution wherwith he oppresseth vs and we must not for his tyranie leaue or forsake the profession of the truth Which things sith they are all true it followeth that the Pope since the death of Gregorie the great and the murther of Mauritius the Emperour is that Antichrist whome we haue before described out of the Prophecies of the Prophets and Apostles For whether they consider the doctrine or behold the maners and actions of the Pope they all agree vnto these prophecies and though heretofore there were controuersie touching primacie there were diuers errours and they not small concerning the doctrine yet afterwarde the desire of bearingsway did more breake forth Idolatrie and impietie was encreased and at the length Boniface the third obtained of Phocas the Emperour that whosoeuer should be the Bishop of auncient Rome should also bee esteemed as vniuersall Bishop that Rome shoulde be accounted the heade of all Churches and that this priuiledge might be traduced to their successours and within a while after others of them chalenged both the swords for themselues established this by decree that the Masse was a sacrifice propitiatorie for the liuing and the dead and to conclude they made Rome a sanctuarie for Idols 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 and to abhorre that Antichrist the most dangerous enemie of Christ and the Church and may likewise learne more and more to loue and worship Christ FINIS Doctor Sohn publike professor of Diuinitie at Heidelberg The matter of this booke No vnion of the two religions The
