is right and the Scepter of the au●thority of Christ and the rod of his righteous ordinaunces that wheresoeuer this worde ruleth there are none other strāge scepters institutions or customes The Lambe of God vpon the Mount Sion signifying Christ Iesus hath seuen hornes for in him consisteth the fulnesse of al truth This beast hath but i● hornes and those counterfaited and false They haue well a shew to be Christes hornes but of a truth they are not These then do signifie the corruptyng and falsifiyng the meaning both of the old and new Testament expounded and wrested to a worldly and carnal vnderstanding Wherout it is too apparant and manifest that it is but a false shew ful of dissimulation and altogither contrary to the Lordes meaning not discearning the true meaning of the holy Ghost This letter without the spirite of God is death and nothing agreable vnto Christ neither hath any regarde vnto him He is the truthe and life this is very lies and death His word is spirite and life theirs is but sounding Erasse or tinkling Cimbal fantasticall ●ained Sophistical and crafty although they séeme to haue a likenesse to Christ yet are they to none more vnlike They are onely the hornes

traditions to bring leade men at length to detestable idolatrie wherof they are ful and to worship things forbidden And for the maintenāce of their estate they haue wyth the ayde and helpe of Sathan their chief captaine wrested chopped and chaunged the scriptures to proue the adoratiō of the departed Saintes to be necessarie their masse meritorious and their workes of supererogation profitable

the olde and newe Testamente whiche to be true they defende wyth toothe and nayle They confesse as it is in de●de that they do weare but the figure of the thyng for it is but a shadowe in déede and an
