for Christ and his Vicar for him and not against him Resp But the word Antichrist may signifie both pro and con for and against and both here applicable 1. For Christ 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 sometimes signifies for or in the place and room of another so Archelaus reigned 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in the room of his father Herod Mat. 2.22 So pretends the Pope to be for Christ in his place and stead his Vicar on earth This is agreable to what we read of Antichrist what kind of adversary he is not such as is the Turk an open and declared enemie to Christ and Christians but such an one as sits in the Temple of God professing to be for Christ yet to him an underhand enemy so saith Anselm they seem or pretend themselves servants of Christ and of his Family when in truth they are the Ministers of Antichrist in 2 Thess. 2.2 they therefore who contend earnestly for the Turks being Antichrist must be greatly mistaken 2. And yet while this Antichrist pretends himself Thus for Christ and for being his Vicar see him even then opposing he that opposeth is his description 2 Thess. 2.4 under the name of Christ acting for Antichrist as was said of Gregory 7. who was pointed at as Antichrist As hath been shewed out of Aventinus And to shew the Pope to be this Antichrist opposing Christ and contrary to him see him contradicting and countermanding Christ's Will and Commands I instance only at present in those Christ's two ordinances his Word and Sacraments 1. His word We are by Christ our Lord commanded to search the Scriptures for in them we have eternal Life John 5.39 unto which ye do well that ye take heed as unto a light shining in a dark place saith S. Peter 2. Pet. 1.19 and we find Timothy commended by St. Paul that from a child he had known the holy Scriptures which are able to make wise to salvation they being profitable for doctrine for reproof for correction for instruction in righteousness that the Man of God may be perfect throughly furnished unto all good works 2. Tim. 3.15 16 17. Hear now the Pope in this search the Scripture saith Christ do not search them saith the Pope It is well done that you do it saith St. Pet. It is not well done saith the Pope They are profitable saith St. Paul they are dangerous saith the Pope They are a light shining in a dark place saith St. Pet. they are dark saith the Pope St. Paul commends Timothy for being from a child acquainted with the Scriptures they are not for Children saith the Pope And much more of that kind see him in this Antichrist opposing Christ his Word and Commands contradicting and countermanding And whom in this we should obey God or man Judge ye Acts 4.19 2. As to the Sacrament of the Lords Supper our Lord gave the bread broken a sign of his body broken and after that the cup the wine poured out being his bloud in his death shed for us commanding so to do till his coming again and as to the Cup particularly foreseeing what would be after by opposers to the contrary our Lord added in that ministration Drink ye all of this Math. 26.27 it being said that accordingly they did all drink of it Mark 14.23 which all to drink and all drinking is in the wine expressed and implyed onely in the bread Which Institution and command of Christ our Lord in that being his will and testament left to his Church is to be as his last will observed to the last and ought not to be changed in the least no although it had been but mans Testament onely Gal. 3.5 yet see Christ in that by Antichrist opposed Take the Bread and also the Cup saith Christ not so saith the Pope the Cup may be spared for Christs bloud is in his Body by concomitancy and taking his Body ye have by consequence his Bloud But here it is understood that his Body is given broken and his Bloud shed both setting forth the Lords death and not otherwise which countermand to Christs command in that is with a non obstante licet Although that Christ and the primitive Church did administer the Sacrament in both Kinds notwithstanding is this custom of but one Kind to be held for a law unreproveable so is it ordered in the Council of Constance Sess. 13. and the Council of Trent after This Synod being taught by the Holy Ghost and the custom and Judgment of his Church doth declare and teach that the Laiety and Clergie not celebrating are not obliged to take the Sacrament of the Eucharist under both Kinds notwithstanding that Christ did institute this Sacrament under both Kinds and so gave it to his Apostles Concil Trident. sess 21. c. 1. And is not the Pope in this an Antichrist to Christ an opposer he that opposeth Text v. 4. VI. Rightly therefore is this that man of Sin that wicked here intended which is his next mark here and how agreeing to the Pope notwithstanding his Holiness remains now to be shewed 1. And that the Pope is that Man of Sin and wicked exceedingly even above others appeareth in his mouth of Blasphemy though looking like a Lamb or like Christ the Lamb yet speaking as a Dragon Rev. 13.11 or as that Dragon the Devil what else is that his shewing himself as God exalting himself above all called God c. before mentioned what other is his Antichristian Commanding and opposing contrary to Christs will and Commands 2. And as speaking like a Dragon so acting also like him in all cruelty drunk with the bloud of Saints and Martyrs of Jesus particularly of the Waldenses Albigenses and others long before Luthers opposing Popish Errours and with their lives witnessing for the truth against Popery There are extant accounts of above one hundred thousand of them that number is by some doubled suffering by the Tyranny and cruelty of Pope Innocent 3. Vergerius also well acquainted with the method and actings of the Inquisition speaks of one hundred and fifty thousand in less than 30 years so suffering And from the first rising of the Jesuites to the year 1580 about 30 years are about fourscore and ten thousand Protestants said to have been destroyed In France alone in the Massacre of Paris and elsewhere an 1532. The French Kings Letters to the Pope glorieth of 70 thousand he said Hereticks slain in few days but to the lasting shame of Popish cruelty and persidy to Generations And can the bloudy butcheries of poor Protestants by the cruel Irish in Ireland be in this forgotten when about one hundred thousand perished anno 1641 yet to that Impudence is that now risen as to disavow any such Rebellion of the Irish or such their murders of the innocent Protestants in Ireland but daring to averr on the contrary that they themselves were the sufferers and that by the English and Protestants Of which if there shall be opportunity offered by an
