by_o these_o horn_n the_o roman_a empire_n do_v not_o only_o push_v down_o other_o nation_n but_o especial_o doss_n against_o the_o church_n and_o as_o it_o be_v cruel_o gore_v the_o side_n thereof_o now_o than_o we_o see_v that_o the_o roman_a emperor_n both_o in_o horn_n and_o head_n be_v like_o their_o father_n the_o devil_n or_o the_o dragon_n by_o the_o ten_o crown_n upon_o his_o ten_o horn_n be_v mean_v his_o great_a and_o manifold_a victory_n over_o other_o country_n and_o kingdom_n the_o horn_n of_o the_o beast_n be_v say_v to_o be_v crown_v and_o not_o his_o head_n because_o the_o roman_a empire_n have_v always_o more_o prevail_v by_o power_n then_o by_o policy_n by_o strength_n then_o by_o subtlety_n but_o the_o dragon_n have_v his_o head_n crown_v and_o not_o his_o horn_n because_o he_o have_v always_o do_v more_o hurt_v by_o policy_n than_o power_n by_o subtlety_n than_o strength_n one_o thing_n in_o all_o this_o be_v great_o to_o be_v heed_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o this_o chapter_n do_v special_o speak_v of_o the_o roman_a monarchy_n as_o the_o pope_n be_v head_n thereof_o or_o as_o it_o be_v under_o the_o dominion_n of_o the_o pope_n in_o their_o pride_n when_o as_o the_o emperor_n be_v almost_o tread_v under_o foot_n and_o not_o simple_o and_o sole_o as_o the_o emperor_n be_v head_n thereof_o moreover_o it_o be_v say_v that_o upon_o the_o seven_o head_n of_o this_o beast_n be_v write_v the_o name_n of_o blasphemy_n for_o beside_o the_o blasphemy_n of_o caligula_n nero_n domitian_n dioclesian_n julianus_n and_o the_o other_o old_a heathenish_a and_o persecute_v emperor_n which_o have_v arrogate_a unto_o themselves_o divine_a honour_n we_o shall_v anon_o hear_v of_o the_o surpass_a blasphemy_n of_o the_o pope_n against_o god_n and_o all_o goodness_n 5._o verss_n 4_o 5._o and_o the_o beast_n which_o i_o see_v be_v like_o a_o leopard_n and_o his_o foot_n like_o a_o bear_n 2._o verse_n 2._o and_o his_o mouth_n as_o the_o mouth_n of_o a_o lion_n and_o the_o dragon_n give_v he_o his_o power_n and_o his_o throne_n and_o great_a authority_n here_o the_o roman_a empire_n be_v describe_v of_o the_o likelihood_n of_o quality_n which_o it_o have_v with_o the_o other_o three_o empire_n go_v before_o it_o for_o first_o it_o be_v compare_v to_o a_o leopard_n for_o swiftness_n to_o prey_n upon_o other_o and_o also_o for_o fierceness_n and_o subtlety_n as_o do_v the_o greek_a monarchy_n second_o it_o be_v compare_v to_o a_o bear_n for_o rapine_n and_o raven_a as_o the_o monarchy_n of_o the_o mede_n and_o persian_n three_o it_o be_v compare_v to_o a_o lion_n for_o pride_n and_o insolency_n as_o the_o monarchy_n of_o the_o chaldean_n so_o then_o by_o this_o description_n it_o be_v very_o clear_a that_o this_o beast_n signify_v the_o roman_a monarchy_n because_o it_o contain_v in_o it_o the_o whole_a power_n of_o the_o other_o three_o empire_n and_o be_v here_o describe_v as_o a_o compound_n of_o divers_a beast_n yea_o as_o a_o very_a monster_n of_o monster_n have_v the_o body_n of_o a_o leopard_n the_o foot_n of_o a_o bear_n and_o the_o mouth_n of_o a_o lion_n moreover_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o dragon_n give_v his_o power_n and_o his_o throne_n and_o great_a authority_n which_o plain_o show_v that_o the_o power_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o roman_a empire_n be_v of_o the_o devil_n 17.8_o chap._n 17.8_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o evil_a quality_n thereof_o that_o be_v fraud_n rapine_n and_o oppression_n in_o which_o respect_n it_o be_v say_v to_o ascend_v out_o of_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n as_o be_v declare_v before_o but_o the_o substance_n of_o it_o and_o the_o government_n itself_o be_v of_o god_n 13.2_o rom._n 13.2_o for_o the_o power_n that_o be_v be_v ordain_v of_o god_n as_o say_v the_o apostle_n 3._o verse_n 3._o and_o i_o see_v one_o of_o his_o head_n as_o it_o be_v wound_v unto_o death_n but_o his_o deadly_a wound_n be_v heal_v and_o all_o the_o world_n wonder_v and_o follow_v the_o beast_n here_o john_n in_o a_o vision_n see_v one_o of_o the_o seven_o head_n of_o the_o beast_n almost_o wound_v unto_o death_n there_o be_v divers_a and_o differ_a opinion_n of_o the_o learned_a touch_v this_o wound_n of_o the_o empire_n both_o when_o it_o shall_v be_v and_o how_o and_o by_o who_o some_o understand_v it_o of_o the_o death_n of_o julius_n caesar_n some_o of_o nero_n some_o of_o the_o oppression_n of_o the_o goth_n and_o vandal_n some_o of_o the_o great_a prevail_a of_o john_n husse_n and_o jerome_n of_o prague_n in_o the_o great_a part_n of_o bohemia_n but_o to_o let_v all_o these_o pass_n if_o we_o do_v wise_o consider_v and_o weigh_v with_o ourselves_o that_o by_o a_o beast_n in_o this_o place_n be_v not_o mean_v any_o lawful_a administration_n of_o government_n but_o a_o tyrannical_a power_n in_o persecute_v the_o church_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o a_o head_n of_o the_o beast_n be_v then_o wound_v when_o constantine_n the_o great_a slay_v maxentius_n and_o licinius_n the_o two_o last_o persecute_v emperor_n set_v up_o true_a religion_n and_o bring_v peace_n to_o the_o church_n for_o hereby_o the_o roman_a empire_n be_v great_o wound_v as_o touch_v the_o tyranny_n of_o it_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v not_o set_v down_o which_o of_o the_o seven_o head_n be_v thus_o wound_v but_o in_o general_n say_v one_o of_o they_o now_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o he_o mean_v the_o six_o head_n for_o we_o do_v not_o read_v of_o any_o such_o wound_n in_o the_o former_a five_o which_o be_v pass_v neither_o can_v it_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o seven_o head_n which_o be_v the_o papacy_n because_o it_o receive_v no_o such_o wound_n as_o yet_o it_o follow_v then_o that_o the_o wound_n be_v in_o the_o six_o head_n that_o be_v in_o the_o empire_n but_o we_o read_v of_o no_o emperor_n that_o do_v so_o wound_v the_o beast_n as_o do_v constantine_n the_o great_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a nay_o a_o hundred_o to_o one_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n here_o point_v at_o he_o but_o it_o follow_v that_o his_o deadly_a wound_n be_v heal_v to_o wit_n by_o these_o wicked_a emperor_n which_o succeed_v constantine_n as_o constantius_n julianus_n valentius_n and_o other_o which_o afresh_o do_v set_v up_o idolatry_n and_o persecute_v the_o church_n now_o upon_o the_o heal_n of_o this_o wound_n it_o be_v say_v that_o all_o the_o world_n wonder_v and_o follow_v the_o beast_n that_o be_v many_o nation_n or_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n do_v submit_v themselves_o to_o the_o roman_a tyranny_n for_o sure_a it_o be_v some_o kingdom_n be_v never_o subject_a to_o the_o empire_n of_o rome_n as_o some_o part_n of_o asia_n and_o some_o part_n of_o africa_n 4._o verse_n 4._o and_o they_o worship_v the_o dragon_n which_o give_v power_n unto_o the_o beast_n and_o they_o worship_v the_o beast_n say_v who_o be_v like_a unto_o the_o beast_n who_o be_v able_a to_o war_n with_o he_o now_o be_v show_v how_o all_o the_o subject_n of_o the_o roman_a empire_n do_v worship_v the_o dragon_n that_o be_v they_o maintain_v that_o worship_n which_o he_o like_v and_o love_v that_o be_v the_o worship_n of_o idol_n which_o the_o apostle_n call_v the_o worship_n of_o devil_n 21._o 1_o cor._n 10.20_o 21._o and_o it_o be_v say_v also_o they_o worship_v the_o beast_n that_o be_v they_o do_v all_o with_o one_o accord_n submit_v themselves_o both_o to_o the_o religion_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o beast_n that_o be_v to_o the_o pope_n as_o they_o be_v the_o seven_o head_n of_o the_o empire_n for_o as_o i_o say_v before_o so_o i_o say_v again_o the_o holy_a ghost_n here_o speak_v of_o the_o empire_n when_o it_o be_v in_o the_o great_a glory_n and_o exaltation_n yea_o when_o all_o the_o world_n wonder_v and_o follow_v the_o beast_n yea_o when_o all_o admire_v the_o great_a &_o large_a dominion_n of_o the_o roman_a empire_n and_o say_v within_o themselves_o who_o be_v like_a unto_o the_o beast_n who_o be_v able_a to_o make_v war_n with_o he_o now_o the_o empire_n of_o rome_n be_v never_o so_o great_a and_o powerful_a as_o when_o the_o pope_n be_v head_n thereof_o i_o mean_v when_o they_o execute_v the_o whole_a civil_a jurisdiction_n of_o the_o empire_n beside_o their_o ecclesiastical_a power_n which_o now_o do_v both_o meet_a in_o one_o for_o now_o the_o papacy_n be_v aloft_o and_o the_o roman_a empire_n join_v with_o it_o so_o that_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n be_v dazzle_v with_o the_o pomp_n and_o magnificence_n thereof_o and_o they_o say_v what_o be_v like_a unto_o it_o or_o who_o be_v comparable_a to_o the_o pope_n the_o seven_o head_n thereof_o for_o then_o the_o blind_a world_n think_v that_o the_o power_n of_o the_o pope_n be_v not_o only_o
