A69171	A treatise, touching Antichrist VVherein, the place, the time, the forme, the workmen, the vpholders, the proceeding, and lastly, the ruine and ouerthrow of the kingdome of Antichrist, is plainly laid open out of the word of God: where also manie darke, and hard places both of Daniell and the Reuelation are made manifest.

himself_o and_o that_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n whereby_o it_o appear_v first_o that_o this_o defection_n whereof_o paul_n here_o speak_v be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o sect_n of_o mahumet_n or_o the_o turk_n because_o they_o neither_o sit_v in_o nor_o pretend_v the_o church_n of_o god_n but_o very_o direct_o of_o the_o state_n of_o popery_n this_o speech_n of_o paul_n may_v seem_v to_o agree_v with_o that_o of_o daniel_n cap._n 7.8_o &_o 20._o where_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o a_o little_a horn_n which_o arise_v among_o the_o ten_o other_o horn_n and_o be_v say_v there_o to_o speak_v presumptuous_a thing_n but_o in_o my_o judgement_n their_o opinion_n be_v true_a who_o refer_v that_o place_n of_o daniel_n not_o to_o antichrist_n but_o unto_o the_o government_n of_o the_o roman_a emperor_n and_o especial_o to_o vespasian_n who_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o unknown_a pedigrew_n be_v there_o term_v a_o little_a horn_n therefore_o touch_v this_o which_o paul_n speak_v here_o that_o antichrist_n the_o prince_n of_o this_o apostasy_n shall_v usurp_v the_o name_n of_o god_n the_o question_n be_v whether_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o very_a name_n and_o title_n of_o god_n or_o only_o of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n which_o he_o shall_v wicked_o arrogate_v to_o himself_a some_o therefore_o do_v not_o think_v that_o the_o very_a express_a name_n of_o god_n be_v here_o mean_v but_o only_o that_o he_o shall_v rush_v into_o the_o office_n and_o usurp_v and_o challenge_v to_o himself_o the_o power_n and_o majesty_n of_o the_o high_a but_o undoubted_o see_v that_o the_o thing_n itself_o which_o be_v the_o complishment_n of_o this_o so_o renown_a a_o prophecy_n do_v proclaim_v it_o open_o that_o the_o bishop_n of_o

the_o lord_n god_n this_o place_n without_o all_o question_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o both_o and_o touch_v the_o name_n of_o god_n the_o roman_a bishop_n have_v not_o make_v squaimish_n but_o very_o flat_o and_o without_o any_o circumlocution_n have_v both_o admit_v of_o the_o name_n himself_o and_o never_o refuse_v it_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o other_o for_o be_v he_o not_o by_o they_o
