was giuen by the inspiration of the holy ghost so did the same spiritie infuse it aboundauntly into the heartes of the Apostles and likewise doth at this present with the faithfull and of the same spirite hath this holy Scripture his endurance and true interpretation Antichrist is not ashamed too bragge that hee is Lorde ouer the Scripture to alowe or disalowe it For of me saith he it taketh his full authoritie And for a token of this the Scripture of Christe is laied vnder his fete when he is at Masse 57 Christe commaunded by his Apostle sainct Paule that a bishop should be apte to teache and that hee ought to bee well learned that he may be able by his wholsome doctrine both to exhort and to ouercome all theym that resiste and be against the faith Antichrist will neither teache nor dispute with any man in the holy scripture for the maintainaunce of the Christen faith but onely for to augment his owne kingdom and to stablish his owne lawes And if any dispute with him they shall be cast first into prison where he and his ministers haue deuised and inuented proper engins too wryng their fingers so sore that the bloud shall braste out of their fingers endes Moreouer he will peine them and scourge them and with infinite other tormentes punishe theim to make theim forsake the trueth and afterwarde make them sweare on a booke that they shall tell no man of it Thus cruelly doth Antichrist entreate man for the truthes sake againste all iustice And if he can not subdue them to his will then either he murdereth theim priuely in Prison or els hee committeth them vnto the seculer power as vnto his Hangmen or Butchers to be burned And thus is the disputation ended and Antichrist hath gotten the victorie Sed viuit dominus qui custodit veritatem in seculum seculi facit iudicium iniuriam patientibus 58 Christe cursed the Figge tree vppon whiche he found no fruite and forthwith the Figge tree wethered and neuer bare fruite after Antichrist hath cursed and enterdited Landes and Realmes and yet did not the people dye but they prospered well and the earth brought forth her fruite and encrease no lesse then before yea much more aboundauntly thankes be vnto God that this saiyng may bee founde true Maledicent illi tu autem benedices They shall curse but thou shalt blesse 59 Christ calleth hymselfe the good shepheard saiyng I am the good shepheard The good shepeheard geueth hys life for his sheepe Antichrist saieth that he is a good sheepeheard and yet he pollet and pilleth hee sheareth and scrapeth the sheepe so neare that he leaueth not one locke of wolle on their backes And thinke ye not that hee is in al pointes the selfe same shepeheard of whom Zacharias prophecied whiche saieth in the persone of God Behold â–ª I will raise vp a Shepheard in the Lande whiche shall yot seeke after the thinges that be lost nor care for such as go astray He shall not heale the wounded He shall not nourishe the thyng that is whole but he shall eate the fleshe of suche as be fatte and teare their clawes in peeces c. Hee shall nourishe hymselfe and not the shepe And this Prophete criyng out on hym saieth O thou shepheard and Idoll forsakyng the flocke As though hee shoulde say thou bearest the name of a shepheard but thou arte an Idoll and counterfaite Thou art called a Shephearde but thou art a plaine murderer Thou arte named a feeder but thou art a destroyer Is it to bee thought that this Shephearde will giue his life for his Shepe 60 Christ chargeth Peter three tymes to keepe well and nourishe his Shepe Antichrist chargeth his Officers to keepe well his money And as for the Shepe he hymself taketh paines to shere theim and to keepe theim lowe with iufinite exactions 61 Christ gaue a commaundement that a manne should forsake his wife or putte her awaie for no cause but onely for adulterie Antichrist if he bee well monied will make diuorces for what soeuer cause a manne will haue hym yea and for money he will ioyne theim together whom the Lawe of GOD by no meanes suffereth to marrie 62 Christe beside the twelue Disciples sent forthe to Preache seuentie and twoo other Disciples whiche freely promised heauen to theim that would beleue in the name of Christe Antichriste sendeth out his Preachers and Pardoners whiche teache the people to beleue his power and to truste to his Pardons for their saluation addyng that thei can not otherwise bee assoiled nor come to heauen And all for money 63 Christe tooke awaie from his Disciples all temporall iurisdictioÌ„ and worldly power saiyng vnto them The kynges and Princes of the Gentiles haue rule power ouer them but ye shal not so haue Antichriste lifteth vp hym self aboue al power and saieth Emperours Kynges and Lordes bee my Subiectes This is daiely read in his Bulles wherein he coÌ„maundeth the Nobilitie like as a Master doeth commaunde his seruaunt 64 Christ gaue commaundement to his Disciples saiyng Looke whiche emong you will bee greatest let hym bee the lowest of all Antichrist saieth The Emperour must sweare vnto me as vnto his Lorde that he will bee my subiect and exalt and worship me with honour as his owne Lawe testifieth 65 Christe in all places of the holie Scripture reiecteth and casteth awaye mennes Traditions and Decrees Thei worshipp me in vaine saieth he teachyng doctrines that are the commaundementes of menne Antichriste magnifieth the Traditions and Decrees of his Canon Lawe and saieth that thei ought to bee kept as duely as if GOD hymself had commaunded them Or as if sainct Peter had preached them hym self 66 Christe wishyng no man to erre no manne to bee deceiued no manne to perishe or to bee damned called hym self in his Sermons the waie the truthe and the life I am saith he the waie the truth and the life Beleue in me and folowe me in my learning and rule you by the scripture For that shall bee your Iudge Antichrist saieth ye shall in all thinges followe the Churche of Rome meanyng thereby hym self and his Cardinalles as appeareth in his owne Lawe And as for the Scripture saith he it standeth in my power and aucthoritie For I maie make of it whatsoeuer pleaseth me 67 Christe loued them that were his ennemies blessed theim that cursed and did good to them that hated hym Antichrist can not finde in his harte to loue and blesse his ennemies nor to dooe good to his aduersaries but suche as in any point be against hym he curseth with the great cursse and will not absolue them till thei haue made perfect submission and paied greate sommes of money 68 Christe commaunded his Disciples that thei should not resiste euill but if a manne strike them vpon the one cheeke that thei

should offer hym the other also Antichriste will suffer nothyng yea he teacheth that he maie auenge and driue awaie force with force 69 Christe by open voice from Heauen was pronounced of God the Father to bee his dearely beloued Soonne and so many as purpose to bee saued and to bee made enheritours of eternall life are coÌ„maunded to heare hym Antichriste giueth straight commaundemente that vnder paine of euerlastyng damnation we heare hym obeye and obserue his Decrees and Lawes 70 Christe laied lighte burdeines and swete yokes vpon his Disciples neckes Antichrist saieth intollerable burtheÌ„s and moste greeuous yokes vpon mennes shoulders and notwithstandyng he saith If any commaundemente or burthen bee so heauie that it can not bee sustained and borne yet shall ye obeye me In this behalfe Antichrist is like the olde Hypocrites emong the Iewes of whom our Sauiour Christe speaketh on this maner Thei binde together heauie burthens and greeuous to bee borne and laie them on mennes shoulders But thei theim selues will not heaue at theim with one of their fingers Againe woe vnto you ye Lawiers For ye lade menne with burthens whiche thei bee not able to beare and ye your selues touche not the packes with one of your fingers 71 Christe paied Tribute to Cesar and gaue commaundemente to all his that thei should giue to the Temporall Magistrate whatsoeuer is due vnto hym as the Apostle saieth Giue to euery manne his duetie Tribute to whom Tribute belongeth Custome to whom Custome is due c. Antichriste despiseth bothe this example and doctrine of Christe and excommunicateth all them that aske any Tolle or Tribute either of hym or of his For he hath made theim all free by his Lawe from all suche charges and paimentes 77 Christe when he liued in this worlde was beneficiall liberall and plentifull in doyng the workes of mercie to the poore and exhorted other to doe the like euer commendyng mercie aboue Offerynges and Sacrifices Antichrist hath no pleasure at all in the woorkes of mercie neither careth he for the poore But his desire is that menne should giue their money for Pardons for Masses for Dirges c. and bestow their gooddes vpon Images gildyng Tabernacles pointyng chauÌ„tries building c. so that he will no mercie but all offerynges And he that saieth It is better to giue our charitie to the poore as Christ saieth is counted halfe an Heretike because he goeth about to marre Antichristes market 73 Christe the Mirrour of meekenesse and example of humilitie charged his disciples that thei should not desire to bee called masters nor yet fathers on yearth Antichriste will not onely bee called the Lorde and Maister of all Christendome but also the moste holie Father in yearth Goddes Uicar in yearth Peters Successour in yearth and Heade of the Churche in yearth c. 74 Christe disdained not to goe vnto the Mariage when he was called and sanctified the same with the firste fruites of his miracles Antichrist despiseth mariage and commaundeth his Shauelynges by no meanes to bee at theim as a kinde of life vnperfecte and vnworthie their high perfection and pure state of their vocation or callyng 75 Chirste refuseth not to goe whersoeuer he was desired so he might doe good to other Antichriste is so delicate and fine and vnpacient of labour that he refuseth to goe any where excepte it bee to profite and to doe good to hym self 76 Christ thought no scorne suche was his good will toward all men euen with his hande to touche the Leper when he healed hym Antichriste disdaineth once to looke vpon the poore so farre it is of that he will handle and touche the miserable diseased and lothsome people with his holie handes His delight is to haue to dooe with the greate God Mammon and with the nise nimphes of Ladie Uenus court 77 Christe had greate pleasure and singuler delight to be emong theÌ„ that were sicke and diseased Antichrist hath al his delight and pleasure to bee emong the minions of the worlde and the lustie galauntes Dicers Carders Minstrelles Gameplaiers and all suche as maie prouoke hym vnto pleasure mirthe and ioye 78 Christe kept companie with sinners whores and Publicanes to the ende that he might allure theim from wickednesse vnto Godlinesse saiyng Thei that are whole haue no neede of a Phisition but thei that are sicke For I am not come to call the righteous but synners to repentaunce Antichriste delighteth to accompanie the Princes and Rulers of this worlde that he maie enlarge and encrease sainct Peters patrimonie and enriche Mother holie Churche whiche beginneth now to waxe old and hath greate neede of helpe As touchyng them that are runne astraie from God he knoweth none other waie vnto saluation but to exhort them to buy his Pardons Masses c. 79 Christe in his Sermons had no respect of persones but rebuked al degrees a like that were rebukeable Antichrist preacheth neuer prateth oft great and noble personages he flattereth although neuer so wicked and vngodlie namely when he hopeth and looketh for gaine As touchyng the poore and miserable he thundereth at them with the sentence of the greate curse 80 Christe when his Disciples Iames and Ihon would haue had fire come doun from heauen as in the daies of Elias vppon the Samaritanes for their ingratitude and vnthankfulnesse and so to haue destroied them rebuked them and saied ye wote not what maner spirit ye are of For the Sonne of manne is not come to destroie mennes liues but to saue them Antichriste when any although neuer so little displeasure is doen against hym so fumeth and fometh so braieth and brauleth so roareth and rageth that straight waies out of his firie place he casteth out his moste greeuous thunderbolte of that terrible great excommunication If that will doe no good then prouoketh he princes vnto warres out of hand and to murther for his sake many thousande of innocent soules neuer ceasyng from his furious madnesse and madde furie vntill he be auenged to the vttermoste forgettyng this commaundement of GOD vengeaunce is myne and I will reward saieth the Lorde 81 Christ alwaie defended his disciples against the Scribes and Phariseis with the aucthorities of Gods worde Antichriste defendeth his adherentes with bannyng and cursing with Sweard and Speare with Bowes and Arowes with Gonne and Pollaxe and suche like martiall armoures 82 Christ tooke paciently the opprobrious wordes that were spoken against his owne persone but the railyng blasphemies vttered of the blasphemous enemies of the truthe againste the glory of GOD he could by no meanes abyde but mightely defended it Antichriste regardeth not the blasphemies spoken or written against the glory of God the manifest truth of his blessed worde but if any thing be spoken against hym and his deuilishe decrees then rageth he like a mad man and neuer ceaseth vntill he be reuenged except
