hath giuen vs ouerthrowe the foure of Idolatrie and superstition which Antichrist hath buylded to deface the glorie of almightie God let vs deliuer Gods children out of the dangerous captiuitie thraldome of ignorance which bringeth destruction of body and soule to al that cōtinue therein So God by his Prophet threatneth the destruction of this Edom no lesse than of the other For as by comparison it may appeare the same cause of destructiō is in the one that was in the other also the power might aswell of the one as of the other is of late days by the wōderful working of almightie God maruelously diminished his glory defaced The Edomites were beloued of their neighbours feared of their enimies therefore great was their pride but they were brought to desolation by their own cōfederates Euē so it was with the bishop of Rome he was beloued of al princes in Christēdome they reuerenced him as a god also they feared him so that they durst not stir agaynst him For what Prince soeuer did not in all pointes submit him selfe vnto him at his plesure he excōmunicated him discharged his subiects of obedience in the end deposed him of his kingdome for besides the translating of the Empire frō one kingdome to an other besides the deposing of Hilderike king of France diuers other inferiour Princes he excōmunicated deposed seuen Emperours one after an other namely Henry the fourth Henry the fifth Frederik the first Philip Otho Frederike the seconde and Conradus his sonne Therfore great is the pride of his heart so that he exalteth him selfe aboue men and Angels he compareth him selfe with the sunne and the Emperour with the moone chalenging vnto him selfe so muche more excellencie than the Emperour as the sunne excelleth the moone Euen as the earth sayth he surmounteth the moone seuen times and the sunne surmounteth the earth eyght times whiche béeing multiplied by seuen maketh fifty sixe so be excelleth the Emperour fifty and sixe times Neither is he cōtnet with this superioritie ouer the Emperour but also he preferreth him selfe before the Angels in iurisdiction knowledge and reward This is the pride of his hart in the which Pope Alexander the thirde of that name trode vpon the necke of Frederike the Emperour saying this verse of the Psalme Thou shalt walk vpon the Liō and the Aspe the yong Lion and the dragon shalte thou treade vnder thy féete And Pope Adrian the fourth suffered the same Emperour to hold his styrup twise and gaue him a scoffe for his labour bicause he did holde the wrong stirup Also Pope Gregorie the seuēth suffred Henry the Emperour the fourth of that name to stande bare foote and bare legged at his gates with his wife and his childe thrée dayes thrée nightes in the middest of winter Such was the pride of his hart which had so deceyued him that he thought it vnpossible that he shoulde be ouerthrowen But as it appeareth this day the Bishop of Rome is of little reputatiō he is despised of many nations of whom in times past he was feared The moste part of his confederates haue forsaken him as the Polonians the Transsiluanians Hungarians many Princes of Germanie the Princes of Englande and Scotlande and many men in other countreys And it is not to be doubted but that shortly by the working of almightie God the words of this Prophet shall be fulfilled in him that is to say he shall be brought downe to the grounde he shal be spoyled of all his treasures vtterly forsaken of all his friends cut off from the earth vpō the soden with al his adherēts For the day of the Lord is at hād a day of tribulation anguish a day of gret sorow heauinesse a day as the Prophet Zophony termeth it of desolation destruction of obscuritie darknesse of cloudes blacknesse vnto al the enimies of Gods children The day I meane when our Sauiour shal come from heauen with his mightie Angels in flaming fire rendring vengeance vnto all those that knowe not God ● that do not obey the Gospel of Iesus Christ who shall be punished with euerlasting perdition frō the presence of the Lord from the glory of his power But vpon mount Sion shal be saluation the children of God shall haue no cause to lament when the terrible day of the Lord shall come for that day shal be their deliuerance Then shall their enimies weepe and lament but they shall be glad and ful of ioy for their sakes all the wicked shal be consumed as stubble with the fire for God wil sende his Angels they shal gather all the nations of the worlde before him and shall separate the faythfull from the vnfaythful as the husband man separateth the wheat frō the tares they shal binde the tares togither cast them into the fire that neuer shal be quenched but the faithfull which are the wheat shall be gathered into Gods barne that is to say they shal be placed in his kingdome of euerlasting ioy peace and rest And then all principalities powers béeing subdued no mā shal be able to stir against God or agaynst his saincts which before were despised trode vnder foote most cruelly murthered but now deliuered out of all misery exalted into heauen and glorified So that in all poynts in all respects the Lorde shal rule he only shall be worshipped and glorified the kingdome shall be his To whom be all prayse honor and glory world without ende Amen THus endeth the exposition of the Prophet Abdias in the which the letter hath his place and his commendation that is the playne meaning of the wordes of the holy Scripture without any morall or allegoricall exposition whiche I call the letter is profitable to comfort to teache to improue to correct and to instructe in godlynesse whiche is rather to giue lyfe than to kil Therfore here a mā may aske this questiō How is it true that the Apostle sayth The letter killeth but the spirite giueth life for if the letter kil it is hurtfull if it be hurtful thē it is not profitable as is aforesaid Here for the better vnderstāding of the Apostle first it is to be noted that there is in one sentēce a christiā a true letter there is also in the same sentēce an heretical a false letter As for example I reioyce sayth the Apostle in my afflictions for you fulfil the rest of Christes afflictiōs in my flesh for his bodies sake which is the Church Here by Christes afflictions the Apostle vnderstādeth the afflictiō of Christians who are the body wherof Christ is the head The afflictiōs of the body are called Christes afflictiōs bicause whatsoeuer the body suffreth the head that is to say our fauiour Christ is partaker of the same sufferings as appeareth by his own words where he sayth Saule Saule why persecutest thou me and
