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. By Lambert Danæus.; Tractatus de Antichristo. English	Daneau, Lambert, ca. 1530-1595?; Swan, John, d. 1617.	1589 (1589)	STC 6229; ESTC S111048	137,818	208

Popish Masse hath cleane defaced and defeated the true and only meanes of our saluation In such sort as men now a daies rest not them-selues vpon the onlie death and bloud-shed of Christ Iesus As for that abhominable Masse of theirs some writers take it to bee the same which Daniell calleth Mahuzim Cap. 11.38 but herein they are deceiued For Mahuzim in Daniell is taken in a good sence namely for the defenced Tower of Sion and for all that coast of Iewrie through which there was no passage by which title the true God in that place is set out But further they will not graunt that this our saluation proceedeth freely from the meere grace fauour of God but will needes haue it as due to our desarts and that it can be compassed and obtained by the power of frée-will vertue of mens workes Lastly concerning the Sacraments the outward worship of God and Ceremonies the wisest sort of the Papists themselues that I seeke no further nor spend many words in this matter do both see acknowledge how therein their Church hath been instructed otherwise then the word of God will warrant And herein it skilleth not though the Papistes giue glorious titles to their gew-gawes calling them déepe and profound Mysteries It is profound stuffe indéede but it is the déepe subtilties of Sathan as the spirit of God speaketh Reuel 2.24 For the spirit of God hath fore-tolde that these toyes should be tearmed Mysteries The Beast shal haue and beare in her forehead a name written A Mysterie Reuel 17.5 whereby she craftely couereth and closely broacheth her blasphemies agaynst God For by this godly shewe and blaze of Mysterie Secrets c. she puts vpon her vile superstitions a iollie countenance of synceritie and godlinesse To conclude whereas it is expressely written Reuel 17.5 that in the forehead of the Beast should bee written the name of A Mysterie Experience hath prooued it true For in olde time the Bishop of Rome had written in the place of his * A round attire of the head Bonnet this worde A Mysterie euen as long ago it was appoynted that the high Priest should haue written in the fillet of his Myter Holinesse to the Lord. And further euen in that their Bishops ware forcked or double-horned Myters they tell vs them-selues that it is done in way of a mysterie And finally euery one of those Beasts do carrie in their fore-heads that mysterie whereof Iohn speaketh But yet obiection is made héereunto that the Pope and all Papists do professe the name of Christ I answere that euen thereby it doth much more appeare that they are the very Antichrists of whome we héere intreate For so much the more deadly foes they are vnto Christ in that they take vpon them his name and doctrine and yet quite and cleane ouerthrowe the same euen as close théeues and secret foes are ten times more pernicious then outward and knowne enemies VVhy Antichrist is called indefinitely or without limitation a false Prophet and Papa a Pope The twelfth Chapter FVrthermore this Antichrist is called also by his propertie in way of preeminence * 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The false Prophet meaning the worst that euer was Reuel 20.10 For this is he that is said to be the Beasts and Dragons inseparable companion and chiefe companion Moreouer he is also called Papa a Pope that is a reuerend Father Touching which word many haue made search what it signifieth and from whence it should be deriued Some thinke that it is compounded of these two sillables pa pa which among auncient Writers are brifely set downe for these two words Pater patriae which stile was woont to be giuen to the Romane Emperours Others will haue it to come of Pupae which signifie little Puppets * Such as children play withall And some againe are of opinion that it rose of the word Pater being wantonly pronounced as children vse to do These diuers deriuations or guesses Iohn Corasius a verie learned Lawyer maketh mention of And yet none of all these by his leaue doth sufficiently satisfie or content me It is more likely therfore in mine opinion that this word Papa commes from the Sicilian tongue which therein signifieth dignitie and great honour as Suidas obserueth saying 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 A Father is called among the Syracusians Papas and by doubling the letter P. Pappas And Homer vseth the very same word Odyss 6. lib. whereupō the auncient Writer Didimus writeth thus 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Papa is a fawning word procéeding from a yongling vnto his elder And this name was sometime giuen indifferently vnto all Bishops as appeareth by the Epistles of Sidonius Apollinaris Gregorie the great and of others before their time as namely Cyprian Ierome and Austin in whose writings we shall commonly finde Bishops called Papae But in processe of time by means of claw-backs it was reserued only for the Bishop of Rome as if he were the highest and loade-starre of all the rest that is the only Bishop of all Bishops and to whom only true honour belonged As indeed at last it came to passe after time that this opinion was once receiued into the Church that the Bishoppe of Rome was the head thereof in whose power only consisted the right of disposing of preferments and dispensing with the keyes of the Church and that all other Bishoppes had no further stroake in matters then was allowed them by way of commission Now by these so many and so diuers names namely Apostata Antichrist Man of sinne Sonne of perdition A Beast Apollyon The Harlot a woman the false Prophet a Pope both the whole bodie of Poperie and the Prince and head thereof are in the Scripture set out vnto vs to the ende that his treacherie might be the better knowne Thus hauing hitherto spoken of the names by which he is signified it is time to come now to the handling of the thing it selfe That Antichrist did heerein especially vsurpe the name of God when he caused him-selfe to be called the vniuersall Bishop of the vniuersall Church The thirtenth Chapter HAuing therefore hitherto spoken of the person and name of Antichrist whereby he is called let vs now consider of the magnificence and stately stiles which the Prince of that secte chalengeth to him-selfe Paule procéedeth and saith He shall exalt him-selfe aboue all that is called God or that is worshipped Assuredly the Spirit of God could not more effectually or liuely set out vnto vs the verie fourme of this state and matter or represent the nature of the Romish or Popish kingdome more plainely then heere he hath done the which by the successe of things which since haue fallen out and are now to be séene is proued most true Therefore in this place of Paule the state of Popery not Mahumetisme is described and that verie expressely for the Captaine of this order is said to take vpon him the honor power and deitie of God
