writing_n before_o to_o be_v the_o scripture_n why_o then_o jerome_n say_v so_o upon_o daniel_n 11._o 24._o where_o daniel_n speak_v of_o antiochus_n his_o deal_n in_o egypt_n that_o he_o do_v that_o which_o his_o forefather_n never_o do_v nullus_fw-la judaeorum_n absque_fw-la antichristo_fw-la in_o totâ—…_n unquam_fw-la or_o be_v regnavit_fw-la these_o be_v bellarmine_n scripture_n but_o where_o do_v the_o scripture_n indeed_o say_v that_o antichrist_n shall_v subdue_v seven_o of_o the_o ten_o king_n nay_o the_o contrary_n may_v rather_o be_v gather_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n the_o ten_o horn_n whereof_o daniel_n speak_v be_v ten_o king_n which_o successive_o reign_v over_o judaea_n as_o have_v be_v show_v and_o although_o antiochus_n epiphanes_n may_v help_v away_o three_o of_o his_o next_o predecessor_n yet_o he_o can_v not_o hurt_v the_o other_o six_o for_o there_o be_v but_o nine_o beside_o himself_o which_o be_v all_o dead_a and_o go_v before_o he_o come_v to_o year_n yea_o but_o this_o opinion_n of_o the_o father_n be_v plain_o enough_o deduce_v out_o of_o apoc._n 17._o 12._o where_o we_o read_v and_o the_o ten_o horn_n which_o thou_o see_v be_v ten_o king_n these_o have_v one_o mind_n and_o they_o shall_v give_v their_o power_n and_o authority_n to_o the_o beast_n no_o marvel_n though_o some_o of_o the_o papist_n call_v the_o scripture_n a_o nose_n of_o wax_n see_v they_o can_v frame_v and_o fashion_v it_o at_o their_o pleasure_n and_o give_v unto_o it_o what_o sense_n they_o listen_v do_v john_n speak_v of_o antichrist_n his_o either_o kill_v three_o or_o subdue_a seven_o or_o do_v john_n speak_v of_o the_o same_o ten_o horn_n whereof_o daniel_n do_v daniel_n speak_v of_o ten_o king_n which_o be_v to_o be_v dead_a and_o go_v before_o the_o come_n of_o the_o messiah_n john_n speak_v of_o such_o as_o in_o his_o time_n have_v not_o yet_o attain_v to_o their_o kingdom_n verse_n 12._o daniel_n speak_v of_o ten_o king_n of_o the_o seleucidae_n and_o lagidae_n which_o succeed_v one_o a_o other_o john_n of_o ten_o king_n among_o who_o the_o roman_a empire_n be_v to_o be_v divide_v who_o also_o be_v to_o have_v their_o kingdom_n together_o with_o the_o beast_n daniel_n tell_v we_o what_o the_o little_a horn_n which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o ten_o shall_v do_v to_o three_o of_o the_o other_o nine_o without_o mention_n of_o the_o rest_n john_n show_v what_o all_o the_o ten_o horn_n shall_v do_v to_o antichrist_n which_o be_v none_o of_o the_o ten_o horn_n but_o one_o of_o the_o head_n of_o the_o beast_n if_o therefore_o bellarmine_n can_v prove_v from_o hence_o that_o these_o be_v the_o same_o ten_o horn_n speak_v of_o in_o daniel_n and_o that_o antichrist_n shall_v kill_v three_o of_o they_o &_o subdue_v the_o other_o seven_o he_o may_v hope_v to_o prove_v any_o thing_n but_o what_o other_o scripture_n have_v he_o forsooth_o chrysostome_n and_o cyrill_n for_o chrysostome_n on_o 2._o thess._n 2._o say_v that_o antichrist_n shall_v be_v a_o monarch_n and_o shall_v succeed_v the_o roman_n in_o the_o monarchy_n as_o the_o roman_n succeed_v the_o greek_n the_o greek_n succeed_v the_o persian_n and_o they_o the_o assyrian_n and_o cyrill_n say_v that_o antichrist_n shall_v obtain_v the_o monarchy_n 15_o catech._n 15_o which_o be_v the_o roman_n i_o answer_v that_o for_o substance_n these_o father_n hold_v the_o truth_n

throughout_o the_o world_n and_o this_o be_v the_o battle_n of_o god_n and_o magog_n but_o this_o agree_v not_o to_o the_o pope_n therefore_o the_o pope_n be_v not_o antichrist_n i_o answer_v to_o the_o proposition_n that_o no_o such_o thing_n can_v be_v prove_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n he_o allege_v ezech._n 38._o &_o 39_o &_o apoc._n 20._o 7._o 8._o 9_o 10._o but_o ezechiel_n speak_v
