And as the tares which the envyous man did sow in the night tyme whill the servants were asleepe did grow up to a good degree before they were espyed so did Antichrist before hee was revealed and thereafter opposed 3. This beast did arise out of the earth as being hatched out of earthlie avarice ambition as Gregorie speaketh of Antichrist calling him therefore The King of Pryde who by usurping the title of Vniversall Bishop would exalt Himself like Lucifer aboue all his fellow Angels and who ariseth out of the earth sayeth their own Carthusian that is sayeth hee Ex rerum terrenarū opulentia out of the aboundance of earthlie riches wherewith that mysticall Whoore is so puft up that shee is described so glorious Revel. 17 4. and sayeth I sitt as a Queene and shall see no sorrow Next seing that it is said that this beast is horned like the Lamb but speaketh like the Dragon Let us 1. see what is meaned hereby in generall 2.
