greater parte of this vision in the later Epistle to his Thessalonians in the secoÌ„de chaptre For where as the Thessalonians beyng disquieted through false doctrines of certain deceauours thought that the last daye of iudgement and the coÌ„myng of our Lorde Iesu Christ drewe nere and was than already at hande Paule a faythfull doctour of those that were his confuteth the falsely conceaued opinion touching that mater with these maner of wordes reasones Let no man deceaue you by any meanes For the Lorde shall not come except ther com a departiÌ„g furst and that the man of synne be opened the sonne of perdicion which is an aduersarie and is exalted aboue all that is called God or is wourshipped so that he dothe sytte in the temple of God as God boasting him selfe to be God Remembre ye not that whan I was yet wyth you I tolde you these thinges And now ye knowe what wythholdeth euen that he might be vttred at his tyme For the mysterie of the iniquitie dothe allready worke till he which now only letteth be taken out of the waye And thaÌ„ shall that wicked one be vttred whom the Lorde shall consume wyth the spirite of his mouthe and shall destroye wyth the appearaunce of his coÌ„myng euen him whose commyng is after the working of sathan wyth all lyeng power signes and wondres and wyth all deceaueablenesse of vnrighteousnesse among them that perishe bicause they receaued not the loue of the truthe that they might be saued And therfore God shall sende them strong delusion that they shoulde beleue lyes that all they might be demned which beleued not the truthe but hade pleasure in vnrighteousnesse Thus farre haue I rehearsed Paule thapostles wordes which coÌ„teyne the ful perfyt descripcioÌ„ of al this adoo and of the mysteries of Antichrist also the playne interpretacion of the vision that is recorded in Daniel the Prophete And after what sorte these two places agree betwene them selues and what is the true vnderstandyng of them boche it shal be declared in the Homilies folowyng by the fauour and helpe of God But out of these maters which are thus farre already sayde welbeloued brethreÌ„ in Christ this we must marke that accordyng to the oracles of goddes worde and of Iesu Christ Antichrist shall surely come which by his false prophetes shal seduce an infinite multitude of people We must therfore brethren endeauour our selues with most earnest studie and diligence that furst of all we maye be throughly perfyte in the certain true knowlage of our Lorde only saueour Iesu Christ wherin beyng instructed we must than also learne to knowe the false Christes and that great Anttchrist him selfe to thintent least we be made foles hereafter as we haue ben all ready heretofore by the most false wylye deuyses of Satan for than we shal be hable nother to knowe him ne yet to beware of him Therfore we hade nede diligently to consider the wordes of God and to call vpon him also diligently with continuall prayers that he wolde vouchesafe to open vnto vs the true vnderstaÌ„ding of his worde to leade vs in to the true knowlage of his sonne our redemour and that we be not deceaued with Antichristes lyes but continue stedfastly in Christ our saueour which is the euerlasting veritie To him be honour praise and glorie euerlastingly worlde without ende Amen Thus endeth the furst Homilie Antichrist The .ij. Homilie In this seconde Homilie we are taught what the original beginning of Antichrist is where it shal be and by what meanes and shyftes he shall attayne his so great streinghtes and so mighty power of his tyrannye OVr Lorde Iesus Christ the eternal sonne of God the only redemour and vndeniable Doctour of the world talking with his disciples concerning the later tymes and the periles of the same amoÌ„g other thinges telleth them before hande that false Christes and false Prophetes shal rise vp to the destruction and marring of many men And we are also taught by the hole mynde and consent of all the scriptures bothe of the olde testament newe that among them ther shal be a certayne peculiar head ryngleader and a most ranke aduersary of Christ our kyng and priest whom after the common custome of the faythfulles and by the apostles autoritie we doo vse to name Antichrist like as in the Homilie before it is sufficieÌ„tly declared Neuertheles these thinges are not spoken to th ende welbeloued brethreÌ„ in Christ that we should only heare knowe what shoulde be hereafter hauing in the meane tyme no larger consideracion of thinges that shall come but the Lorde dothe rather require by his faithful admonicion geuing that we should learne to knowe this chief and notable enemie of our saluacioÌ„ and to beware of his wiles least we be seduced therwith and so be made partakers with hym of eternall damnacion And therfore it is necessarily requisite for vs to marke to coÌ„ferre other places of the scriptures together also that caÌ„ with more certayntie euidence informe vs of al those maters which are as it were but in a fewe wordes set expressely furthe in this place In consideracion whereof I lately brought forth two places of scripture touching this mater the one of the olde testameÌ„t out of Daniel that ê“phetes vii chap. the other out of Paule the later to the Thessa Whiche albeit by and by at the furst syght they myght seme not to agree together in all thinges but somwhat to varie yet ther is no differeÌ„ce nor dissimilitude betwene them at al. Ther is also no contradiction nor any other varietie but that thapostle Paule wyth more playne light of wordes and sentences dothe expouÌ„de that which Daniel set furthe after the maner of a prophet vnder the mysterie of a vision like as the thinges that folowe shall more clearely beare euidence And to thintent this hole mater of Antichrist maye the more openly appeare vnto vs it shal be all throughly comprehended and assoiled in sixe questiones or proposiciones For furst inasmuche as it is euident that Antichrist is we shall inquire of his originall begynnyng that is to wete in what place he must spring out and where we must seke for him in case we intende throughly to come to the certain knowlage of him SecoÌ„darily by what meanes deuises craftes he shall atteyne suche mighty power and so highe autoritie Thirdly we shall make searche of his persone that is to saye which a one it shal be and by what markes and propreties it ought to be knowen Fourthly we must considre his workes that he shal set his studie vpoÌ„ Which consideracion euen it self dothe bring a certain and an vnfailing playne knowlage of him Fifthely it is conuenient to knowe his weapones wherwyth he shall wyth suche luckie successe fight to attayne enlarge defende and mayntene his kingdome and power wythall Sixthely how farre the limites of his wicked autoritie must be extended and vpoÌ„ what sortes of men our Lorde

stones and other gaye gaire as they can not denye seyng all the hole god seruice that they occupie them selues withal is as I saye For bicause thou must serue this God Mayzim a right ther must nedes be a chalice of golde and a patine of golde or elles gilt at least Ther must be also vestimentes and copes of silke or velwet dashed wyth gold and precious stones Ther are tapers sticked on euery post and light lampes hanged rounde about the churche And the roofe of the churche maketh a dynne wyth their synging organe pyping so that if a man marke euery one of their knackes in the right kynde all their god seruice is rather like the ruffling and ioyly swashing of a princes courte than the forme of religion Now this is the thrid worke manship of Antichrist which the most excellent prophete Daniel ascribeth vnto him Fourthely He shall not care saithe Daniel for the lust of women that is 4. Antichrist shal not care for the lust of women he shall haue no laufull affection of loue towardes women For Daniel speaketh not here of the vnhonest filthie loue and beastly lecherous lust but he meaneth that naturall lauful loue which almightie God graffed in to mennes heartes at the furst original beginnyng of thinges for the generacion and preseruacion of mankynde and did therwythall by his grace ordayne the holy bande of matrimonie mynding that man should not lyue alone but in the lawes of wedlocke or matrimonie which we call the laufull coupling together of one man and of one woman according to Goddes institucion The lust of this loue that is to saye the loue of wedlocke saithe Daniel Antichrist shall not care for nor shall haue any mynde vnto it Well now like as I haue shewed that the sayenges of Daniel doo hitherto agree directly to the B. of Rome euen so shall I be hable to proue this no lesse manifestly For furst of all this kynde of men speake of the holy state of wedlocke which the autoritie of all the hole scripture declareth to be Goddes owne ordinauÌ„ce after suche sorte that they deme it a prophane an vncleane state For how shall they chose but thinke it a prophane and an vncleane state seing they will not haue the Ministres of the churche in any wise to meddle with it forbidde them in their open lawes froÌ„ mariage And bicause we should vnderstaÌ„de that this is the very propre workemanship of Antichrist he went about this by and by at his furst entrauÌ„ce seing it was he that should by leasure worke the mysterie of iniquitie For as the historie writours make reporte in the dayes of Emperour Constantine the great ther were some at the couÌ„sail of Nice which thought it good to bynde bishoppes Ministres and diacones from mariage Howbeit their sentence was at that tyme repressed by Paphnutius a man bothe of a singular godly life and of a notable constaunt faithe For he confessed mariage to be honourable and that it is chastitie for a man to lye with his owne wife and persuaded the Counsail that they should not make such a lawe as might ministre occasion either to theÌ„ or to their wyues to coÌ„myt fornicacioÌ„ Neuertheles albeit the furst waye spedde not yet they went to their bulynesse an other waye neuer ceassed till wyth alluring now these men now those men to saye as they said they obteyned their purpose and yet it could not be brought to passe amoÌ„g the Germanes vntill it was almost to late that is to saye about CCCCC yeares agoo in the dayes of Emperour Henry that 4 it was brought about by helhounde hildebrande called Gregorie the 7. the varlet of all wickednesse and mischief But to tell what frutes haue proceded of this law it nedeth not much rehearsal For in this case though no maÌ„ speake a worde their owne beastly lustes tel their owne hooremonging declareth their owne cuckolde making wherwyth they haue defiled the hole churche cryeth out vpon them Well if we take here this worde lust either for the only loue to womeÌ„ or for the desire of womanes coÌ„pany we must speake that of these most holy and most blessed fathers God before that is to filthie to badde to be spoke yea no christiane cares could abyde it but that the playne truthe of the mater wolde force meÌ„ to speake For we must saye that these meÌ„ are not so muche enamoured with the lust naturall coÌ„pany of womeÌ„ as they are mare woode vpoÌ„ the abominable beastly lust of buggery which synne God reuenged in tymes past with flamyng fire froÌ„ heaueÌ„ commauÌ„ded it to be punyshed with like correctioÌ„ And yet these helhouÌ„des so hauÌ„t it are so rageing madde vpoÌ„ it that it is manifest bothe they and theyr courtyers committe it and no man saithe blacke is their eye In this behalfe I wil take recorde to as many as by any euil lucke haue euer ben brought to that Sodomitical stewed state and haue hade to doo in Popes Cardinalles and bishoppes courtes retinues Fyfthly Daniel saythe that Antichrist shal also rewarde them with his 5. Antichrist geueth rewardes to suche as obeye him treasures that wil be content to serue to honour to acknowlage that God Mayzim of his And Daniel maketh mencioÌ„ here of three maner of rewardes For furst he sayth that he shal aduaunce them to honour that is to say with glorious titles and names Secondly he shal make them lordes ouer many people Thirdly he shall distribute the lande vnto them with rewardes Which thinges yf we wil searche the dedes and stories of bishoppes of Rome we maye fynde to be euen as Daniel tolde before Furst the very tricke of their owne workmanship is to set vp those that be of their secte with highe honourable titles to aduaunce their names with glorious gaye stiles So in tymes past he adourned Pipine with the stile of Most christian Kyng bycause The stile of most christian king geueÌ„ by the B. of Ro. to pipine the traitour he ayded the sea of Rome and delyuered the God Mayzim from the power of Lumbardes enriched him also with great landes exceding great priuileges And the Frenche kynges beare them selues highe vpoÌ„ the honour of that stile euen at this present daye Lykewyse mynding to decke the king of Englande also with a new stile Defendour of the faith he gaue him aboue 20. yeares agoo the name of Defendour of the faythe in so much that he made a great a do without regarde of the kinges regal estate to haue set the king bycause of that stile agaiÌ„st Lutere the most earnest aduersary of the sea of R. most inuincible beater downe of the Popes tyraÌ„nie But what nede we to make rehersal of kinges other folkes of whom some are called most renowmed some catholike some defendours of the sea Apostolike whan we see before our eyes a mightie rable of popishe prelates that bragge

they contende and labour with all their possible policie diligence to drawe all other people in to that same pitte of wickednes that they theÌ„ selues are fallen into it chauÌ„ced by the inspiracion of the holy goost that our most deare sonne in Christ the most valeaunt most religious prince Charles emperour of Rome alwaies Augustus purposed to take weapon in hande against the same bothe Goddes enemies his rebelles whose godly laudable purposes excellent deuises for the christen coÌ„mon weale we shall ayde with all the treasures that we the holy churche of Rome haue for the healthe of the godly for the defense of religion for the honour of God and for the publike peace and tranquillitie In dede these be the beastes owne wordes which as they meane bloodily so with certaiÌ„ foxlike wylynesse they clooke the bloody meanyng vnder the holy and honourable names of the churche of God of peace of religion and of traÌ„quillitie But if any man thinke this vnauaileable to proue his tirannie withall let vs marke the mater it self brethreÌ„ and the subtil fatches of this bloody tragedie CaÌ„ the miserable murther of the right blessed Io. Diasius maÌ„ IoaÌ„nes Diasius the Spanyarde be nowe out of mynde whoÌ„ his owne brother slewe with his hande here in the myddle of Germanie this yeare the. 26. daye of Marche And yet the most cruell brother murtherour and thief escaped quyte awaye and suffred not according to his desartes Open your eies therfore brethren knowe the abominable ê“cedinges and driftes of Antichrist and all his ympes by one mannes wicked dede The B. of Rome hathe whetted Diasius axe for your heades The Spanyardes com vpon you Your cause the cause of your wyues and your children is in hande and Antichrist layeth about him so woodly he is so furious he is so desirous to haue vs destroied that he maketh it laufull for a man to murther his owne brother and geueth such murtherers hyre for their labour Therfore Antichrist fighteth with bothe those sweordes that Paule ascribeth vnto him For he hathe theÌ„ that are desirous to ouercome by flattery prouoke by promises and â—o enueagle by persuasiones whoÌ„ so euer they perceaue to knowe the truthe of the mater and to be ouermuche vnfrendely to the B. of Rome But for al that in the meane tyme they make hotte warres the enemies sweorde slasheth Germanie is on fire in euery corner Antichristes power rageth in euery place Therfore let vs watche brethreÌ„ let vs holde vp our heades praye continually that our Lorde wold vouchesafe to help his churche to deliuer it from that haÌ„des of the furious rageing enemie Now forasmuche as in this fifth point we haue learned by ê‘fite tokens proues that the B. of Rome is that right mightie houge Antichrist 6. Vpon whom how farre Antichrist hathe power to rage before we make an ende of this place ther is an other mater also to be knowen I meane that we may vnderstaÌ„d vpon whoÌ„ Antichrist hathe power to rage wyth his weapones how farre God permitteth his furie to exteÌ„de against the sayntes This dothe Paule teache in few wordes in the ij epistle to his Tessalonianes writing thus His comming is after the working of sathaÌ„ with al power lieÌ„g signes woÌ„ders with al deceaueablenesse of vnrighteousnesse in them that perishe bicause they receaued not that loue of the truthe that they might haue ben saued And for that cause God shall sende theÌ„ strong delusion that they shoulde beleue lies that all they might be daÌ„ned which beleued not the truthe but hade pleasure in vnrighteousnesse These wordes of Paule are full of comfort For like as Christ our saueour dothe in Matthewe make playne significatioÌ„ that Antichristes miracles shal smally yea nothing auaile to deceaue the electe eueÌ„ so Paule also teacheth that God suffreth his tiraÌ„nie to be exerciced only vpoÌ„ them whom the iustice of God iudgeth to be destroied daÌ„ned But least we shoulde thinke that God dothe saue some daÌ„ne some wtout certain discrete iudgemeÌ„t like a tiraÌ„ne he telleth by by in the wordes folowing who they be saith they be those that hate the truthe wil not receaue it nor doo after it haue more delyte in the darkenesse of lies thaÌ„ in the light of the truthe And they that be suche persones are vsed to be blinded by the iust vpright iudgemeÌ„t of God that being deceaued with lies false deceates they may be in subiectioÌ„ to the yowke of Antichristes tiraÌ„nie yea they rather thrust theÌ„ selues vnder his subiectioÌ„ for their owne pleasures For seing all maner of vnthankfulnesse is odious before God and worthy of punishement yet that kynde of vnthankfulnesse wherby the most bouÌ„teous benefite of Goddes grace that is to saye the knowlage and playne declaracion of his worde and truthe is wont to be contemned and reiected dothe iustly deserue of all other the most sore punishement This mater hathe exaÌ„ples ynowe in euery place of the scriptures Yet the most notable and most horrible example hereof is in Pharao For while he did not only not receaue nor allowe the truthe of Goddes worde the most holsom warnynges of God but also reiecte them wyth an vnthankful heart and wyth threattenyng blasphemous wordes he was cast in to so great a folye and blyndenesse by the iust iudgement of God that he could not considre his present miserable destructioÌ„ but threwe him self and his in a wilful lust of wickednesse headloÌ„g in to the rageing reade sea And it dothe not muche diffre froÌ„ this that we reade chaunced to wicked Achab which while he dephieth the holsom monicions of Micheas the prophet dothe after the pestilent counsailes of the false prophetes he falleth in to pÌ„sent destruction The like iudgement of the righteous God fell vpon al Israel whan they were seduced wyth the lies of the false prophetes in the daies of king Zedechias and of the prophet Ieremie while they renouÌ„ced the courteous monicioÌ„ of the Lorde God And in dede if we beholde the furst springing vp of Antichristes tirannie we shall see that the same mater chauÌ„ced at that tyme also in euery poynt For while the people mynding to gratifie the B. of Rome were better content to receaue the vse of ymages and to be instructed and taught by them in the mater of Christian faithe and of christian life than by the holy scriptures they were taught suche lessones by their ymages as the deuil is vsed to teache his scholares I meane supersticion abominable and wicked Godseruice and ther vpon as the case was amoÌ„g the heatheÌ„ Idolaters in tymes past ther folowed al kynde of vice wickednesse yea that errour by littel and littel crept vp so high that at lenght we were made subiectes to Antichristes yowke in al maters were coÌ„pelled mawgre our heades to allowe al his trynkettes for good ware to be obedieÌ„t
