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.

for_o see_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o antichrist_n be_v in_o truth_n a_o very_a depravation_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n but_o yet_o a_o imitation_n of_o the_o same_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o as_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v upheald_v by_o these_o two_o thing_n especial_o to_o wit_n the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o the_o power_n of_o god_n spirit_n as_o paul_n witness_v 1._o thess_n 1.5_o so_o the_o kingdom_n of_o antichrist_n have_v to_o oppose_v other_o two_o thing_n namely_o his_o error_n against_o sound_a doctrine_n and_o his_o miracle_n or_o work_n of_o satan_n against_o the_o miracle_n and_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n that_o he_o may_v cast_v a_o mist_n before_o man_n eye_n and_o handle_v the_o matter_n so_o as_o he_o may_v be_v take_v for_o christ_n himself_o for_o so_o at_o last_o do_v he_o easy_o obtain_v so_o much_o as_o that_o he_o be_v repute_v for_o very_a christ_n when_o as_o he_o make_v open_a show_n of_o the_o very_a work_n of_o christ_n of_o his_o doctrine_n and_o miracle_n and_o like_o a_o wicked_a wretch_n treacherouslie_o counterfaict_v the_o same_o therefore_o in_o stead_n of_o the_o truth_n antichrist_n have_v nothing_o else_o but_o lie_v &_o wicked_a error_n wherein_o he_o do_v injury_n to_o god_n in_o stead_n of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n spirit_n which_o work_v miracle_n he_o blurt_v out_o his_o wonder_n for_o christ_n send_v his_o apostle_n join_v these_o two_o together_o mark_n 16.15_o etc._n etc._n and_o first_o whereas_o paul_n say_v that_o the_o come_n of_o antichrist_n shall_v be_v by_o miracle_n the_o word_n come_v be_v to_o be_v refer_v not_o to_o his_o first_o appear_v but_o to_o the_o whole_a strength_n furniture_n frame_n and_o maintenance_n of_o the_o say_a kingdom_n for_o these_o word_n his_o come_n signify_v thus_o much_o his_o establishment_n stay_v and_o overspreading_a power_n shall_v be_v achieve_v by_o the_o mean_n and_o force_n of_o satan_n work_v miracle_n which_o two_o point_n have_v indeed_o lusty_o enlarge_v the_o state_n of_o popery_n and_o withal_o they_o do_v very_o lively_a point_n and_o paint_v out_o the_o same_o unto_o us._n for_o what_o be_v more_o common_a or_o usual_a among_o they_o than_o this_o vaunt_a of_o infinite_a miracle_n and_o what_o one_o thing_n do_v they_o more_o earnest_o urge_v and_o seek_v for_o at_o our_o hand_n assure_o the_o turk_n and_o follower_n of_o mahumet_n rise_v at_o first_o by_o hatch_n a_o new_a kind_n of_o wicked_a doctrine_n but_o as_o for_o miracle_n they_o neither_o boast_v that_o themselves_o do_v ever_o perform_v they_o neither_o do_v they_o require_v such_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o other_o but_o as_o for_o the_o papist_n they_o repose_v the_o top_n and_o toe_n the_o but_o and_o mark_v and_o assure_v ancker-hold_a in_o the_o matter_n of_o miracle_n and_o here_o be_v it_o that_o they_o so_o crake_v of_o they_o with_o such_o open_a mouth_n and_o cast_v they_o in_o our_o tooth_n so_o that_o popery_n can_v not_o be_v better_o describe_v unto_o we_o nor_o more_o plain_o decipher_v for_o the_o very_a kingdom_n of_o antichrist_n then_o by_o this_o speech_n of_o paul_n who_o be_v those_o three_o spirit_n where-of_a mention_n be_v make_v in_o the_o revelation_n and_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o chief_a minister_n of_o the_o antichristian_a kingdom_n the_o 35._o chapter_n by_o the_o

to_o go_v unto_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o of_o the_o whole_a world_n to_o gather_v they_o to_o the_o battle_n of_o that_o great_a day_n of_o god_n allmightie_a some_o in_o expound_v
