of_o war_n by_o the_o pope_n against_o our_o saviour_n christ_n when_o he_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o stile_n of_o pont._n max._n that_o proper_o belong_v to_o our_o saviour_n and_o be_v never_o give_v

demand_v further_o who_o do_v he_o follow_v in_o this_o title_n do_v he_o follow_v melchisedek_n or_o aaron_n they_o be_v both_o call_v high_a priest_n and_o they_o be_v indeed_o type_n of_o our_o

come_v than_o all_o type_n be_v abolish_v yea_o and_o they_o also_o be_v abolish_v from_o christ_n &_o fall_v from_o grace_n whosoever_o do_v use_v they_o whereupon_o the_o godly_a father_n do_v affirm_v that_o the_o céremony_n of_o the_o law_n be_v now_o not_o only_a mortuae_fw-la but_o mortiferae_fw-la not_o only_o in_o use_n dead_a but_o to_o be_v use_v deadly_a and_o the_o reason_n be_v apparent_a for_o that_o whosoever_o do_v use_v they_o do_v deny_v that_o our_o saviour_n be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n namely_o by_o use_v those_o ceremony_n which_o be_v institute_v to_o show_v that_o he_o be_v not_o then_o come_v but_o to_o be_v expect_v but_o the_o pope_n use_v the_o title_n of_o high_a priest_n after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedek_n or_o of_o aaron_n do_v use_v a_o ceremony_n institute_v to_o show_v that_o christ_n be_v not_o come_v in_o the_o flesh_n but_o be_v to_o be_v expect_v therefore_o i_o ask_v whether_o he_o do_v not_o deny_v that_o christ_n jesus_n be_v come_v in_o the_o fl●sh_n and_o so_o also_o declare_v himself_o to_o be_v antichrist_n but_o if_o they_o will_v say_v that_o in_o take_v this_o title_n upon_o he_o he_o follow_v our_o saviour_n christ_n i_o ask_v by_o what_o authority_n or_o who_o call_v he_o to_o it_o no_o man_n say_v the_o apostle_n take_v this_o title_n upon_o he_o save_v he_o that_o be_v call_v of_o god_n as_o be_v aaron_n and_o again_o the_o priesthood_n of_o christ_n can_v pass_v from_o one_o to_o another_o the_o reason_n because_o christ_n be_v god_n eternal_a who_o can_v have_v no_o successor_n in_o his_o office_n and_o therefore_o he_o that_o will_v take_v upon_o he_o to_o succeed_v christ_n do_v deny_v his_o divinity_n as_o he_o that_o will_v be_v his_o vicar_n by_o pretence_n of_o his_o absence_n well_o if_o the_o pope_n can_v show_v no_o call_n than_o i_o ask_v by_o what_o example_n or_o precedent_n if_o it_o be_v a_o title_n lawful_a to_o be_v use_v why_o do_v none_o of_o the_o apostle_n nor_o of_o the_o disciple_n use_v it_o not_o tuus_fw-la not_o timothy_n not_o paul_n nor_o peter_n not_o james_n the_o brother_n of_o our_o lord_n bishop_n of_o jerusalem_n &_o precedent_n of_o the_o counsel_n of_o the_o apostle_n nor_o yet_o our_o apostle_n s._n john_n which_o outlive_v all_o the_o rest_n and_o therefore_o may_v best_o do_v it_o in_o a_o word_n i_o find_v none_o to_o who_o this_o title_n of_o summus_n or_o maximus_n pontifex_n have_v any_o way_n be_v apply_v but_o either_o melchisedek_n or_o aaron_n or_o to_o our_o saviour_n christ_n nor_o any_o that_o have_v take_v it_o upon_o they_o by_o human_a authority_n but_o only_o the_o idolatrous_a pontifex_n maximus_n that_o be_v in_o rome_n of_o who_o i_o have_v speak_v before_o and_o if_o the_o pope_n can_v justify_v his_o high_a and_o great_a pontificalitie_n by_o some_o title_n from_o one_o or_o other_o of_o the_o three_o first_o it_o will_v fall_v out_o inevitable_a that_o he_o be_v the_o true_a and_o undoubted_a successor_n of_o the_o last_o and_o that_o be_v most_o consonant_a and_o agreeable_a to_o the_o word_n of_o our_o prophecy_n that_o antichrist_n shall_v be_v one_o of_o the_o seven_o head_n of_o rome_n and_o namely_o that_o head_n of_o who_o s._n john_n say_v he_o be_v and_o be_v not_o and_o yet_o be_v as_o be_v before_o prove_v 2._o probl_n 2._o the_o same_o also_o may_v be_v prove_v by_o his_o name_n papa_n whereof_o divers_a have_v make_v divers_a derivation_n but_o for_o my_o part_n i_o think_v none_o more_o probable_a then_o to_o say_v it_o come_v from_o one_o of_o the_o title_n

in_o the_o text_n be_v sometime_o call_v the_o beast_n and_o now_o for_o a_o breathe_n i_o desire_v to_o know_v whether_o any_o person_n monarchy_n or_o kingdom_n can_v be_v find_v in_o the_o world_n

be_v the_o ten_o crown_a horn_n that_o the_o roman_a empire_n as_o well_o in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o consul_n as_o of_o their_o caesar_n have_v many_o king_n at_o their_o command_n be_v evident_a

observe_v in_o the_o description_n of_o these_o horn_n whereof_o in_o daniel_n there_o be_v no_o mention_n first_o because_o it_o be_v say_v that_o at_o the_o time_n of_o this_o revelation_n they_o have_v not_o receive_v a_o a_o kingdom_n 2_o but_o they_o shall_v receive_v power_n at_o one_o hour_n with_o the_o beast_n 3._o they_o be_v crown_v 4._o they_o have_v one_o mind_n to_o give_v their_o power_n and_o authority_n to_o the_o beast_n 5._o they_o shall_v fight_v against_o christ_n 6._o they_o shall_v be_v overcome_v by_o he_o 7._o and_o then_o they_o shall_v hate_v the_o whore_n and_o make_v her_o desolate_a and_o naked_a &_o shall_v eat_v her_o flesh_n and_o burn_v she_o with_o fire_n not_o one_o of_o these_o thing_n can_v be_v true_o apply_v to_o the_o king_n that_o be_v under_o the_o ancient_a roman_a empire_n which_o be_v indeed_o speak_v of_o by_o daniel_n for_o they_o have_v receive_v their_o kingdom_n before_o and_o be_v not_o to_o expect_v it_o in_o time_n to_o come_v 2._o they_o be_v not_o say_v to_o be_v crown_v because_o perhaps_o they_o hold_v their_o crown_n but_o as_o tenant_n at_o sufferance_n 3._o they_o do_v not_o give_v their_o power_n to_o the_o roman_n but_o be_v conquer_v and_o subdue_v we_o do_v not_o read_v that_o they_o do_v profess_o fight_v against_o christ_n although_o they_o be_v pagan_n or_o that_o they_o be_v overcome_v by_o he_o neither_o can_v it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o do_v hate_v the_o whore_n or_o burn_v she_o with_o fire_n massinissa_n prusias_n and_o ptolomee_n give_v their_o kingdom_n to_o rome_n but_o they_o have_v receive_v they_o long_o before_o s._n johns_n time_n and_o do_v never_o hate_v the_o whore_n nor_o make_v her_o desolate_a or_o burn_v she_o with_o fire_n the_o goth_n &_o vandal_n do_v burn_v rome_n but_o they_o never_o give_v their_o power_n &_o authority_n to_o the_o roman_n the_o like_a difference_n may_v be_v show_v of_o all_o other_o king_n that_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o roman_a empire_n or_o before_o these_o ten_o horn_n therefore_o speak_v of_o in_o the_o 17_o chap._n of_o the_o revelation_n can_v be_v understand_v of_o those_o ten_o which_o be_v speak_v of_o by_o daniel_n
