A69171	A treatise, touching Antichrist VVherein, the place, the time, the forme, the workmen, the vpholders, the proceeding, and lastly, the ruine and ouerthrow of the kingdome of Antichrist, is plainly laid open out of the word of God: where also manie darke, and hard places both of Daniell and the Reuelation are made manifest.

the_o answer_n there-unto_a be_v easy_a and_o ready_a that_o god_n never_o permit_v his_o church_n so_o long_o to_o be_v seduce_v but_o only_o suffer_v the_o wicked_a reprobate_a and_o such_o as_o fall_v from_o he_o to_o wander_v and_o go_v astray_o and_o give_v credit_n unto_o lie_n and_o that_o upon_o desert_n of_o they_o and_o as_o i_o have_v say_v most_o just_o on_o his_o behalf_n for_o although_o papistry_n be_v never_o the_o true_a church_n of_o god_n yet_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o popery_n and_o in_o the_o very_a midst_n of_o the_o papist_n themselves_o god_n do_v often_o

of_o confirmation_n by_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o warrant_v my_o assertian_n and_o as_o for_o such_o argument_n as_o may_v seem_v to_o make_v against_o i_o i_o will_v not_o meddle_v with_o they_o in_o my_o oration_n for_o now_o it_o be_v my_o part_n to_o make_v plain_a and_o strengthen_v the_o cause_n and_o afterward_o to_o shake_v of_o the_o adversary_n objection_n when_o i_o shall_v come_v to_o answer_v and_o first_o to_o begin_v withal_o i_o will_v take_v that_o unto_o i_o as_o grant_v which_o of_o necessity_n must_v be_v yield_v that_o antichrist_n be_v in_o the_o scripture_n set_v out_o unto_o we_o by_o his_o true_a and_o infallible_a mark_n so_o that_o we_o be_v neither_o to_o imagine_v of_o any_o other_o not_o speak_v of_o in_o the_o scripture_n but_o that_o we_o confident_o affirm_v he_o to_o be_v antichrist_n unto_o who_o all_o those_o thing_n do_v so_o fit_o agree_v which_o we_o read_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n concern_v antichrist_n for_o either_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o or_o else_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v not_o well_o describe_v he_o unto_o we_o the_o which_o can_v be_v affirm_v without_o blasphemy_n therefore_o i_o will_v set_v down_o this_o as_o the_o ground_n of_o my_o judgement_n and_o defence_n that_o the_o scripture_n have_v deliver_v unto_o we_o whatsoever_o be_v meet_v for_o the_o church_n to_o know_v touch_v antichrist_n and_o that_o he_o without_o all_o controversy_n be_v the_o true_a or_o rather_o the_o false_a antichrist_n in_o who_o those_o mark_n be_v to_o be_v find_v whereby_o the_o spirit_n of_o

down_o in_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o scripture_n concern_v antichrist_n i_o uphold_v that_o every_o one_o of_o they_o do_v agree_v to_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n and_o that_o they_o all_o can_v be_v attribute_v unto_o any_o other_o now_o the_o name_n of_o antichrist_n be_v in_o the_o scripture_n take_v in_o two_o sort_n general_a and_o proper_a or_o particular_a for_o as_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n be_v sometime_o apply_v unto_o all_o those_o who_o have_v some_o resemblance_n of_o he_o in_o their_o be_v anoint_v such_o as_o be_v the_o prophet_n king_n and_o priest_n in_o like_a
