chapter_n how_o do_v bellarmine_n prove_v 1._o that_o antichrist_n shall_v work_v great_a sign_n because_o it_o be_v say_v verse_n 13._o &_o fecit_fw-la signa_fw-la magna_fw-la and_o he_o wrought_v

cause_n fire_n to_o descend_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n 3._o that_o antichrist_n shall_v cause_v fire_n to_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o make_v the_o image_n of_o the_o beast_n to_o speak_v because_o it_o be_v so_o prophesy_v of_o antichrist_n verse_n 13._o and_o 15._o now_o if_o this_o be_v confess_v that_o the_o latter_a beast_n be_v antichrist_n then_o can_v it_o not_o be_v true_o affirm_v that_o the_o former_a beast_n be_v antichrist_n unless_o we_o may_v say_v that_o the_o former_a and_o the_o latter_a be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o but_o that_o can_v be_v true_o say_v for_o of_o the_o latter_a john_n say_v and_o i_o see_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d a_o other_o beast_n verse_n 11._o if_o it_o be_v a_o other_o then_o be_v it_o not_o the_o same_o and_o the_o great_a difference_n in_o the_o description_n of_o both_o do_v show_v that_o they_o be_v diverse_a beast_n the_o one_o arise_v out_o of_o the_o sea_n have_v ten_o horn_n the_o other_o arise_v out_o of_o the_o earth_n have_v two_o horn_n like_o the_o lamb_n the_o latter_a exercise_v the_o power_n of_o the_o former_a and_o that_o in_o his_o sight_n cause_v man_n to_o worship_v the_o former_a beast_n who_o deadly_a wound_n be_v heal_v make_v a_o image_n to_o the_o former_a beast_n which_o have_v a_o deadly_a wound_n &_o live_v verse_n 14._o therefore_o the_o second_o 12._o vers._n 12._o beast_n which_o signify_v antichrist_n be_v not_o that_o beast_n which_o have_v the_o deadly_a wound_n and_o be_v cure_v thereof_o nor_o yet_o the_o head_n which_o be_v so_o wound_v 4_o again_o to_o come_v to_o that_o objection_n which_o bellarmine_n make_v unto_o himself_o and_o do_v not_o satisfy_v this_o miracle_n and_o the_o two_o first_o do_v not_o belong_v to_o one_o and_o the_o same_o subject_n if_o therefore_o the_o two_o first_o concern_v fire_n and_o the_o image_n belong_v to_o antichrist_n than_o this_o do_v not_o or_o if_o this_o do_v than_o the_o other_o two_o do_v not_o but_o all_o confess_v that_o those_o two_o do_v belong_v to_o antichrist_n therefore_o this_o do_v not_o hereunto_o bellarmine_n will_v seem_v to_o answer_v that_o the_o former_a beast_n signify_v either_o the_o roman_a empire_n or_o the_o multitude_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o that_o one_o that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o chief_a head_n thereof_o which_o seem_v to_o die_v and_o rise_v again_o be_v antichrist_n for_o say_v he_o antichrist_n shall_v be_v the_o chief_a and_o the_o last_o head_n of_o the_o wicked_a as_o also_o of_o the_o roman_n the_o second_o beast_n signify_v either_o antichrist_n himself_o according_a to_o rupertus_n or_o the_o minister_n and_o preacher_n of_o antichrist_n according_a to_o richardus_fw-la and_o anselmus_fw-la and_o therefore_o these_o three_o miracle_n belong_v either_o to_o antichrist_n alone_o or_o to_o he_o and_o his_o minister_n in_o which_o answer_n of_o bellarmine_n we_o see_v that_o proverbial_a speech_n verify_v that_o great_a it_o

elsewhere_o he_o have_v confess_v that_o the_o whore_n of_o babylon_n be_v the_o city_n of_o rome_n from_o hence_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o antichrist_n shall_v be_v the_o head_n 13._o cap._n
