so_o that_o in_o this_o man_n opinion_n there_o be_v no_o great_a difference_n betwixt_o henoch_n and_o elias_n and_o other_o saint_n but_o i_o be_o glad_a to_o see_v m._n downam_n leave_v his_o

expound_v a_o place_n of_o scripture_n with_o the_o receive_v doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n not_o prove_v it_o out_o of_o that_o place_n but_o only_o affirm_v that_o by_o a_o moral_a application_n

be_v hard_o to_o imagine_v since_o their_o word_n be_v so_o plain_a and_o therefore_o till_o he_o give_v we_o a_o reason_n we_o may_v just_o think_v that_o he_o have_v none_o but_o be_v willing_a
antichrist_n shall_v be_v a_o sorcerer_n and_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o other_o witch_n shall_v secret_o adore_v the_o devil_n himself_o by_o who_o help_n he_o shall_v do_v wonder_n and_o that_o

we_o must_v necessary_o say_v that_o antichrist_n be_v himself_o the_o god_n maozim_n or_o if_o it_o be_v any_o other_o that_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v adore_v by_o antichrist_n but_o in_o a_o most_o

care_v for_o none_o of_o the_o god_n how_o shall_v he_o open_o worship_v idol_n now_o the_o two_o argument_n of_o illyricus_n be_v of_o no_o importance_n for_o in_o the_o first_o he_o commit_v three_o fault_n first_o in_o that_o he_o affirm_v that_o christ_n explicate_v the_o word_n of_o s._n paul_n whereas_o rather_o s._n paul_n ought_v to_o explicate_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n second_o in_o that_o he_o say_v that_o matth._n 24._o to_o come_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n do_v signify_v the_o same_o as_o to_o be_v the_o vicar_n of_o christ_n for_o the_o explication_n of_o christ_n himself_o be_v repugnant_a to_o this_o explication_n of_o illyricus_n for_o when_o our_o lord_n have_v say_v many_o will_v come_v in_o my_o name_n forth_o with_o he_o add_v explicate_v say_v i_o be_o christ_n wherefore_o to_o come_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n in_o that_o place_n be_v to_o usurp_v to_o themselves_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n which_o in_o old_a time_n simon_n magus_n do_v as_o witness_v s._n iren._n lib._n 1._o cap._n 20._o and_o in_o our_o time_n david_n georgius_n and_o at_o length_n antichrist_n himself_o shall_v do_v but_o the_o pope_n even_o in_o that_o he_o name_v himself_o the_o vicar_n of_o christ_n do_v make_v himself_o not_o to_o be_v christ_n illyricus_n his_o three_o fault_n be_v that_o he_o make_v christ_n a_o unfit_a interpreter_n of_o s._n paul_n for_o he_o do_v not_o right_o expound_v that_o place_n of_o s._n paul_n he_o extoll_v himself_o above_o all_o god_n by_o this_o many_o will_v come_v in_o my_o name_n that_o be_v will_v make_v themselves_o my_o vicar_n for_o the_o vicar_n of_o god_n be_v not_o above_o all_o god_n but_o under_o all_o god_n as_o the_o vicar_n of_o a_o king_n be_v under_o all_o king_n for_o it_o can_v be_v imagine_v or_o devise_v how_o he_o that_o profess_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o vicegerent_n of_o any_o king_n shall_v boast_v that_o he_o be_v above_o all_o king_n by_o which_o the_o blindness_n and_o impudence_n of_o our_o adversary_n be_v apparent_a who_o sometime_o utter_a such_o thing_n as_o be_v against_o common_a sense_n and_o to_o that_o argument_n of_o illyricus_n by_o which_o he_o prove_v that_o the_o pope_n do_v usurp_v great_a authority_n than_o christ_n have_v i_o answer_v that_o the_o proposition_n and_o assumption_n of_o that_o argument_n be_v two_o lie_n and_o beside_o that_o the_o consequence_n be_v nothing_o worth_a for_o first_o it_o be_v false_a that_o christ_n subject_v himself_o to_o the_o scripture_n since_o that_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o above_o the_o scripture_n and_o when_o we_o read_v that_o christ_n do_v those_o thing_n which_o he_o do_v that_o the_o scripture_n may_v be_v fulfil_v that_o ut_fw-la or_o this_o signifi_v not_o the_o cause_n but_o the_o event_n as_o s._n chrysostome_n and_o s._n augustine_n teach_v in_o cap._n 12._o joan._n for_o christ_n do_v not_o die_v because_o isay_n write_v so_o but_o isay_n write_v it_o because_o it_o be_v to_o be_v second_o it_o be_v also_o false_a that_o the_o pope_n ever_o say_v in_o word_n or_o in_o dead_a that_o he_o can_v dispense_v against_o a_o evangelist_n or_o apostle_n for_o though_o he_o can_v dispense_v in_o the_o positive_a precept_n of_o the_o apostle_n yet_o this_o be_v not_o against_o a_o apostle_n but_o according_a to_o a_o apostle_n who_o doubtless_o know_v that_o the_o apostolic_a power_n by_o which_o he_o ordain_v something_o in_o the_o church_n for_o a_o time_n be_v to_o be_v in_o his_o successor_n by_o which_o they_o may_v moderate_v or_o change_v the_o same_o thing_n as_o shall_v be_v expedient_a for_o the_o church_n but_o in_o the_o evangelicall_a that_o be_v the_o divine_a percept_v no_o catholic_a ever_o say_v that_o the_o pope_n can_v any_o way_n dispense_v final_o the_o consequence_n be_v naught_o for_o in_o the_o mayor_n or_o proposition_n illyricus_n speak_v of_o the_o subjection_n of_o christ_n under_o the_o scripture_n not_o concern_v the_o precept_n but_o concern_v the_o prophecy_n for_o illyricus_n be_v not_o ignorant_a that_o christ_n have_v take_v away_o the_o sabboath_n and_o abrogate_a the_o ceremonial_a law_n &_o in_o the_o minor_a or_o assumption_n he_o speak_v of_o precept_n and_o so_o his_o argument_n have_v four_o term_n and_o can_v conclude_v nothing_o this_o shall_v suffice_v for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o antichrist_n in_o this_o place_n m._n downams_n answer_v confute_v 1._o master_n downam_n begin_v his_o answer_n tell_v we_o that_o there_o be_v more_o doctrine_n of_o antichrist_n then_o four_o which_o bellarmine_n deni_v not_o and_o therefore_o this_o be_v not_o to_o the_o purpose_n second_o he_o say_v that_o those_o two_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n 1._o tim._n 4._o of_o forbid_a marriage_n and_o command_a abstinence_n from_o meat_n belong_v also_o to_o antichrist_n which_o bellarmine_n will_v not_o stick_v to_o grant_v
