the aucthour of all mischief and abhomination so that whatsoeuer followeth hym and his Antichristian doctrine may be sure to come vnto damnation 102 Christ praied to his heauenly father that Peters faith might not fayle Antichrist praieth that Peters patrimony as they call it may neuer fayle 103 Christ refuseth no paine to doe good to his congregation Antichrist refuseth no payne so that he may haue lucre and gaine 104 Christ went vp willingly to Ierusalem to suffer death for the elect people of God. Antichrist hateth nothyng more then the crosse As for Gods people he regardeth them not except they bring money 105 Christ when he might haue escaped and gone awaie from his enemies freely gaue himselfe into their handes to be crucified for the saluation of other Antichriste resisteth his enemies with tothe and nayle with hande and Sword and with all that euer he is able to make neither suffereth he gladly any aduersity except it be for the maintainaunce of hys owne pompe and glory and for the enrichement of Saint Peters patrimonie 106 Christ was striped out of his clothes and was all to beaten and scourged and false witnes brought in against hym Antichrist is well clothed with precious garments and hath chaunge for euery day and commaundeth other to be beaten and sore puished and false witnesse to be brought in to testifie whatsoeuer hee will haue against the poore innocent christen people 107 Christ being most vniustly wrongfully accused and hauyng many vntruthes obiected againste hym as a Lambe dum before his shearer opened not his mouth When he was reuiled he reuiled not againe when he suffred ▪ he threatned not but committed the vengeance to him that iudgeth righteously Antichrist being iustly accused both of false doctrine and corrupt manners and admonished to amend will by no meanes geue eare but seeketh al mea●es possible to bee reuenged He will bee iudge of all menne but iudged of none He will condemne whom he lust and he will not once be touched His doctrine although neuer so vnpure he defendeth with fyre and fagot with sworde and halter Whosoeuer disdaine to embrace and maintaine it all theim hee excommunicateth cut of from the body of Christ appointeth them vnto euerlastyng damnation interditeth their Landes Realmes and countreys wheresoeuer they dwell as experience in these our daies teacheth aboundantly As concernyng hys life and maners although neuer so wicked and detestable no man may once reproue except he will feele the bitter boltes of the most bitter curse 108 Christ had a crowne of sharpe thornes set vpon his head with so great violence that the bloud runne doune ouer all his amiable face and boystrous nayles driuen thorowe his precious handes Antichrist weareth vpon his head three crownes of gold richly set with precious stones and hath his handes and finger all royally decked with owches and ringes He passeth poore Christe farre farre 109 Christ tooke the crosse of painefull affliction vpon hymselfe and commaunded his Disciples likewise to follow him saiyng He that will not take his Crosse and folow me is not meete for mee Antichrist taketh the Crosse of pryde and hath it borne before hym well gilte and ameled to sette forthe his pride and pompe before the worlde like vnto Lucifer As for other crosse he knoweth none 110 Christ praied his Father to forgiue them that trespassed against hym yea he praied for them that put him to death Antichrist commaundeth both kynges and princes and Emperours to auenge his quarell and to slea all them that resist his mynde promisyng thē that if thei die in his quarel thei shall die glorious martyrs in the sight of God straight waies come vnto heauen yea before their bloud bee colde As touchyng forgeuenesse he hath none acquaintaunce therewith 111 Christ aproued his Lawe and confirmed it with his owne death Antichrist is full busy to destroye the law of Christ and to maintaine his owne decrees and that with the death of all them that will say the contrary 112 Christ was buried in a poore monument Sepulchre or graue without any funerall pompe Antichrist is buried in a glorious tōbe well gilt and very gorgious set out with many torches and greate solemnitie and with Angelles gloriously portured that beare his soule to heauen when notwithstandyng it is to be feared that hee goeth to suppe with the Diuell whom he hath so diligētly serued al the daies of his life 113 Christ suffred death for our sinnes rose againe for our iustification or els al we should haue perished and been damned Antichrist for the forgeuenesse of oure sinnes and of our iustification sendeth vs to his Pardons and Bulles to his yeres of Iubile and Masses of Scala celi yea he sendeth vs to a Grayefryers Coule and willeth vs to be buried in that promising vs by that meanes both remission of synnes and euerlastyng life Is not this too treade vnder foote the sonne of God and to count the bloud of the Testament as an vnholy thing yea and to doe dishonour to the Spirite of grace Is not this that beast whiche opened his mouth to speake blasphemies againste the moste highest God against his most glorious name Is not this that sinnefull man that sonne of perdition that aduersary whiche exalteth hymself aboue all that is called God or that is worshipped so that he doth sit in the Temple of God boastyng hymselfe to be God O Antichrist 114 Christ after his resurrection appeared to his Disciples and brought vnto them peace and greate ioy Antichriste when hee commeth abroad and sheweth himselfe vnto men commeth like a game player in his Papalibus full gloriously and gorgiously and bringeth to the beholders blessynges that is crossinges and wagginges of fingers with suche other vaine and triflyng toyes 115 Christ reproued in his Disciples vnfaithfulnesse and hardnesse of hearte Antichrist findeth faulte with his captiues if they be vnfaithfull and disobedient to his decrees and slacke in paiyng of money 116 Christ sought all meanes possible to confirme the faithe of his disciples in the article of his resurrection Antichrist seketh all maner of waies to plant confirme and stablishe in the hartes of men his authority and primacie aboue not only all Bishops but also all kinges Princes and Emperours 117 Christ so talked with certaine of hys Disciples by the waie that their heartes burned within them so swetely and louingly did he open vnto theim the true right vnderstandyng of the Scriptures Antichrist doeth so talke and vttereth suche doctrine that it enflameth not but apalleth the heartes of the hearers it quickeneth not but rather dismaieth For it is not the word of the spirite but of the fleshe not of light but of darkenesse not of life but of death and in fine not of conuersion and saluation but of desperation and eternall damnation 118 Christe

lawe of God it is cleane out of his minde 42 Christ saied that men should knowe his Disciples by their charity if they loued one an other as he had loued them Antichrist causeth his chaplens to bee knowen by their habites and vestures by their long gounes and shauen crownes and punisheth them if they vse not their habites But for their couetousnesse ambition pride whoredome and suche other wickednesse he neuer punisheth them 43 Christ promiseth forgiuenesse of sinne and the kingdome of heauen vnto theym that will repent and amend their liues Antichrist saith that no man can be saued except he be first shriuen of his Priestes and Friers For they bryng in money 44 Christ would not suffer that doues sheepe and oxen for the offering should be solde in the temple of God but draue out the byers and sellers with whippes Antichrist suffereth hys Chapmen in the Church to sell the Sacraments that they should freely minister to the Christen people In his court also there is sellyng of Bishorikes prebendes free chappels benefices dignities Abbotshippes offices c. And all for money 45 Christ lay in a stable with fewe cloates betwixt an oxe and an asse For there was no place in the Innes for his parentes bicause they were poore Antichrist lieth in rich chambers with quiltes curtaines carpettes and cushins spred all aboute with sweete smelles pleasaunt odours painted walles with hanginges of clothe of golde 46 Christ would haue men to visite the poore prisoners to comfort them and to deliuer them Antichrist hath no pitie on the poore yea he persecuteth the poore Christians putteth them in prison for y truthes sake and in fine most cruelly murthereth them 47 Christ did neuer imprison or persecute any man but he cōmaūded his disciples that they should loue their enemies and doe well to theym yea and praie for them that did pesecute them Antichrist that taketh on hym to stande in christes steade and to follow his example persecuteth punisheth prisoneth and putteth to death theym that are disobedient to his voluptuous pleasures See ye not howe faste he followeth Christes steppes 48 Christ healyng the sicke and doyng miracles did for the more part euer commaunde that thei should tell no man who had healed them Antichrist altogether desirous of vain glorie worldely praise and mortall renome giueth greate giftes and large benefices to Pardoners to Proctours to Lawiers to Liers to Minstrels to Msasengers to Friers to Flatterers and to suche like Parasites to blase his name abroade his holinesse and godlinesse that he maie haue honour and worship in this wicked worlde 49 Christ had no Courtes to pleate the matters of his Disciples in for he commaunded them that thei should not resiste euill Antichrist hath his Courtes and many riche menne of Lawe to oppresse the poore and to call vnto iudgement whom he lusteth For whatsoeuer cause he will he vexeth all maner people without mercie For forgiue he will not 50 Christ bad them that he healed to go their waie and to synne no more Antichrist giueth licence to the people to continue in sinne and giueth them licence also to keepe and maintaine Stewes and baudy houses and receiueth money therefore 51 Christ refused to bee Iudge betwene the twoo brethren in diuidyng their inheritaunce as a matter not incidente to his office whiche was to preache the will of his heauēlie Father but appertaining vnto worldly Iudges and temporall magistrates Antichriste taketh vppon hym to bee Iudge in all maner of matters Spirituall or Temporall Ghostly or Worldly There is no cause whiche he will not take vppon hym to determine namely if thei bryng money He will all menne in matters from all menne to appeale vnto hym and vnto his Courte for sentence without any resistance or against saiyng 52 Christe would not bee defended in a righteous matter with martiall armoures but he commaunded Peter to put vp his swearde into his sheath For he that striketh with the swearde saieth he shall perishe with the swearde Antichriste commaunded Emperours Kynges Princes and Lordes with their Subiectes to take Sweardes Speares Halberdes and Gunnes and to helpe hym to slea all suche as will not obeye his tyrannie And this muste the Emperour doe or els he must bee periured yea and also deposed because he is no meete manne to reigne forasmuche as he stoutly defendeth not the liberties of holie Churche After this manner came it to passe that Iulius secundus bishop of Rome caused to be slaine sixtene thousande men in one daie Was not that well pastured Was not this a worthie Uicar of Christ and a noble successour of Peter 53 Christ gaue free libertie to all men to eate all meates at all tymes for as muche as that whiche entereth into the mouthe defileth not manne but that commeth out of the mouthe For all thynges are pure to theim that are pure and nothyng is to bee caste awaie if it bee receiued with giuyng of thankes For it is sanctified by the woorde of God and by praier Yea it is the doctrine of Deuilles to forbidde that to bee eaten whiche God hath made to bee receiued with thākes giuyng Antichrist plainly condemneth al suche as presume to eate Egges Milke butter or Cheese but specially Fleshe on those daies that he hath commaunded to be fasted and denounceth them heretikes This agreeth with Christe as light with darkenesse And yet haue wee been so blinded these many yeres paste through the iuglyng of our Spirituall Sorcerers that we could neuer perceiue this Antichrist till nowe in the latter daies when that manne of synne muste bee reueled and vttered accordyng to the Prophecie of the Apostle 54 Christ gaue authoritie vnto his disciples to binde and to loose saiynge Whatsoeuer ye binde in earth shall bee bound in heauen Ind whatsoeuer ye lose in earth shall bee loosed in heauen But Christ spake nothing of binding and loosing in purgatory for money concerning the soules departed Antichrist chalengeth greater power and larger authoritie For he will loose soules out of purgatory and commaunde the Angels to fetche them out and all for money For without money ye can gette nothyng of hym 55 Christ is head of the Churche as the holy Apostle Paule doth testifie and also he is the stone whereon the Churche is builded And this Church is the congregation of faithfull Christen people and the very body of Christ. Antichrist saith that he is head of that Churche and that the Sea of Rome is the stone whereon that Churche is builded Can any thing be more contrary vnto the honour and glory of GOD than thus to despoile hym of his kingdome whiche he so derely hath bought shedyng his precious bloud for it 56 Christ gaue vs a lawe whiche is the holy Scripture This holy Scripture as it
