magician_n and_o sorcerer_n so_o also_o very_a many_o of_o the_o miracle_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v be_v the_o operation_n or_o illusion_n of_o the_o devil_n as_o for_o their_o clergy_n who_o know_v not_o but_o that_o there_o have_v be_v few_o learned_a man_n among_o they_o who_o have_v not_o be_v know_v or_o at_o the_o least_o suspect_v to_o be_v conjurer_n and_o skilful_a as_o

beseech_v you_o serve_v all_o this_o discourse_n will_v bellarmine_n conclude_v from_o hence_o that_o the_o pope_n be_v not_o antichrist_n either_o because_o there_o be_v no_o miracle_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o be_v the_o first_o point_n or_o because_o those_o miracle_n which_o they_o have_v be_v not_o lie_v sign_n and_o wonder_n which_o be_v the_o second_o if_o this_o be_v his_o end_n why_o then_o do_v he_o not_o from_o this_o proposition_n as_o it_o be_v his_o groundwork_n assume_v and_o conclude_v after_o this_o manner_n by_o antichrist_n and_o his_o adherent_n many_o

wrought_v which_o they_o call_v miracle_n therefore_o the_o pope_n be_v not_o antichrist_n but_o bellarmine_n dare_v not_o reason_n thus_o see_v the_o papist_n brag_v of_o nothing_o more_o than_o of_o their_o sign_n and_o wonder_n which_o they_o call_v miracle_n and_o therefore_o from_o this_o ground_n i_o have_v heretofore_o infer_v the_o contrary_a for_o if_o it_o be_v a_o peculiar_a note_n of_o antichrist_n and_o his_o adherent_n in_o these_o latter_a time_n to_o work_v many_o sign_n and_o wonder_n which_o they_o call_v miracle_n then_o can_v it_o not_o be_v avoid_v but_o that_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n be_v antichrist_n and_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n the_o synagogue_n of_o antichrist_n see_v they_o alone_o do_v brag_v of_o miracle_n see_v the_o first_o book_n chap._n 7._o §_o 1._o &_o 2._o second_o why_o do_v he_o not_o reason_n thus_o by_o antichrist_n and_o his_o follower_n lie_v sign_n and_o wonder_n shall_v be_v wrought_v but_o by_o the_o pope_n and_o church_n of_o rome_n there_o have_v be_v no_o lie_a sign_n and_o wonder_n wrought_v therefore_o the_o pope_n be_v not_o antichrist_n indeed_o this_o will_v bellarmine_n have_v the_o simple_a reader_n gather_v from_o his_o word_n and_o that_o be_v the_o drift_n of_o all_o that_o discourse_n but_o this_o he_o can_v not_o assume_v and_o conclude_v because_o his_o own_o conscience_n do_v tell_v he_o that_o which_o all_o the_o world_n know_v that_o their_o church_n be_v full_a of_o lie_v sign_n and_o wonder_n which_o they_o call_v miracle_n therefore_o from_o bellarmine_n own_o ground_n i_o reason_v thus_o if_o it_o be_v a_o peculiar_a note_n of_o antichrist_n and_o his_o synagogue_n in_o these_o latter_a time_n to_o work_v many_o lie_a sign_n and_o wonder_n than_o it_o must_v be_v confess_v that_o the_o pope_n be_v antichrist_n and_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n the_o synagogue_n of_o antichrist_n because_o among_o they_o be_v many_o lie_a sign_n and_o wonder_n but_o the_o first_o be_v testify_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o the_o latter_a can_v be_v deny_v see_v i_o have_v prove_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v full_a of_o lie_v sign_n and_o wonder_n which_o notwithstanding_o they_o call_v miracle_n see_v the_o first_o book_n chap._n 7._o §_o 3._o 4._o 5._o 6._o 7._o 3_o it_o be_v plain_a therefore_o that_o of_o those_o three_o thing_n which_o bellarmine_n observe_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n concern_v the_o miracle_n of_o antichrist_n the_o two_o first_o do_v fit_o serve_v to_o prove_v the_o pope_n antichrist_n neither_o will_v the_o three_o example_n of_o antichrist_n his_o miracle_n which_o bellarmine_n set_v down_o in_o the_o three_o place_n disprove_v the_o same_o for_o of_o these_o three_o example_n to_o wit_n first_o that_o antichrist_n or_o at_o least_o his_o

to_o speak_v three_o that_o he_o shall_v feign_v himself_o to_o die_v and_o to_o rise_v again_o the_o two_o first_o which_o indeed_o belong_v to_o antichrist_n do_v fit_o agree_v to_o the_o pope_n

notwithstanding_o bellarmine_n argue_v thus_o the_o three_o miracle_n of_o antichrist_n say_v he_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v feign_v himself_o to_o die_v &_o to_o rise_v again_o for_o which_o miracle_n
