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.

idolatour_n and_o their_o decree_n and_o constitution_n blasphemous_a against_o god_n but_o after_o time_n the_o say_a emperor_n begin_v to_o be_v christian_n which_o begin_v in_o constantine_n the_o great_a for_o whereas_o some_o writer_n affirm_v of_o philip_n who_o decius_n slay_v that_o he_o embrace_v the_o gospel_n certain_a it_o be_v that_o he_o will_v be_v a_o christian_a no_o otherwise_o but_o covert_o and_o not_o by_o public_a profession_n than_o i_o say_v first_o of_o all_o and_o by_o upon_o the_o neck_n of_o it_o this_o same_o roman_a empire_n be_v translate_v from_o italy_n and_o old_a rome_n into_o thrace_n and_o therein_o unto_o constantinople_n for_o that_o this_o shall_v so_o come_v to_o pass_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o apoc._n have_v foreshowed_n as_o after_o we_o shall_v declare_v but_o yet_o i_o grant_v that_o constantine_n have_v no_o regard_n unto_o that_o prophecy_n when_o he_o remove_v at_o first_o from_o rome_n to_o byzantium_n and_o there_o settle_v his_o imperial_a palace_n but_o he_o respect_v only_o a_o more_o commodious_a government_n of_o those_o matter_n and_o kingdom_n of_o he_o that_o lie_v eastward_o which_o at_o that_o time_n be_v miserable_o disquiet_v by_o the_o parthian_n and_o persian_n for_o constantinople_n do_v seem_v to_o be_v so_o situate_v whereas_o otherwise_o constantine_n have_v once_o think_v to_o have_v settle_v elsewhere_o as_o that_o it_o be_v as_o you_o will_v say_v the_o navel_n or_o midst_n unto_o the_o whole_a roman_a jurisdiction_n which_o as_o we_o know_v spread_v itself_o far_o and_o near_o and_o yet_o it_o can_v not_o possible_o otherwise_o fall_v out_o because_o that_o so_o the_o roman_a empire_n may_v become_v double-headed_n and_o have_v those_o two_o horn_n which_o god_n before_o have_v reveil_v so_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n guide_v this_o whole_a enterprise_n of_o constantine_n and_o so_o fulfil_v what_o himself_o have_v decree_v and_o touch_v this_o devide_v of_o the_o roman_a empire_n into_o these_o two_o head_n and_o horn_n it_o be_v warrant_v out_o of_o the_o revel_v 13.11_o and_o zech._n 4.8_o and_o this_o be_v the_o very_a true_a interpretation_n of_o that_o prophecy_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o beast_n have_v two_o horn_n and_o here_o let_v this_o be_v observe_v that_o hereafter_o i_o will_v count_v &_o call_v that_o the_o first_o beast_n which_o in_o my_o former_a division_n and_o exposition_n i_o make_v the_o second_o and_o again_o i_o will_v term_v that_o the_o second_o which_o before_o i_o call_v the_o three_o for_o that_o head_n of_o the_o first_o beast_n which_o appear_v to_o be_v hurt_v and_o wound_v deadly_a be_v indeed_o one_o of_o the_o seven_o before_o speak_v of_o but_o that_o those_o seven_o be_v in_o the_o end_n reduce_v unto_o two_o only_a it_o appear_v hereby_o for_o that_o the_o second_o beast_n which_o before_o we_o call_v the_o three_o and_o which_o convey_v unto_o herself_o all_o the_o power_n that_o the_o former_a have_v be_v say_v to_o have_v only_o two_o horn_n cap._n 13._o 11._o and_o it_o may_v not_o seem_v strange_a that_o in_o this_o second_o beast_n i_o interpret_v otherwise_o of_o the_o signification_n of_o horn_n than_o i_o do_v in_o the_o former_a for_o there_o by_o horn_n be_v specify_v the_o person_n of_o king_n as_o afterward_o shall_v appear_v because_o it_o be_v add_v that_o those_o horn_n have_v diadem_n or_o crown_n on_o they_o but_o as_o for_o the_o horn_n of_o the_o second_o beast_n they_o rather_o note_v a_o state_n than_o any_o person_n because_o that_o these_o horn_n be_v say_v to_o resemble_v the_o likeness_n of_o the_o lamb_n so_o that_o they_o signify_v a_o estate_n or_o quality_n of_o a_o kingdom_n to_o conclude_v this_o interpretation_n be_v to_o be_v hold_v as_o a_o principal_a ground_n for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o many_o place_n in_o the_o revelation_n whereinto_o we_o shall_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o easy_o see_v if_o we_o shall_v

not_o able_a to_o judge_v of_o the_o matter_n by_o the_o rule_n of_o god_n word_n that_o the_o antichristian_a kingdom_n be_v to_o rise_v by_o little_a and_o little_a and_o not_o at_o a_o sudden_a according_a to_o the_o forewarn_v of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n the_o 23._o chapter_n now_o s._n paul_n have_v withal_o signify_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o word_n work_v or_o be_v a_o work_n that_o the_o say_a kingdom_n and_o woeful_a state_n of_o apostasy_n shall_v rise_v by_o degree_n as_o it_o be_v and_o not_o be_v bring_v to_o his_o fullness_n in_o a_o short_a time_n the_o which_o caution_n

perceive_v and_o shun_v the_o subtlety_n of_o satan_n therefore_o this_o assertion_n of_o paul_n teach_v we_o thus_o much_o that_o this_o kingdom_n of_o antichrist_n be_v to_o be_v raise_v up_o a_o little_a at_o once_o and_o not_o to_o be_v perfect_v either_o in_o a_o moment_n or_o in_o a_o day_n or_o hour_n but_o yet_o the_o schoolman_n be_v of_o another_o opinion_n for_o they_o think_v that_o it_o shall_v start_v up_o and_o advance_v the_o head_n on_o a_o sudden_a but_o paul_n affirm_v another_o thing_n namely_o that_o satan_n the_o crafty_a contriver_n of_o it_o shall_v close_o and_o by_o sleight_n work_v and_o set_v forward_o the_o same_o and_o at_o last_o after_o long_o protract_v of_o time_n and_o many_o circumuentions_a spend_v shall_v obtain_v his_o purpose_n but_o before_o we_o open_v the_o same_o any_o further_a or_o teach_v more_o at_o large_a the_o truth_n thereof_o i_o think_v meet_v first_o to_o answer_v a_o objection_n which_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v raise_v out_o of_o revel_v 17.12_o &_o 17._o the_o verse_n whereof_o be_v as_o follow_v verse_n 12_o and_o the_o ten_o horn_n which_o thou_o see_v be_v ten_o king_n which_o yet_o have_v not_o receive_v a_o kingdom_n but_o shall_v receive_v power_n as_o king_n at_o one_o hour_n with_o the_o beast_n verse_n 17_o for_o god_n have_v put_v in_o their_o heart_n to_o fulfil_v his_o pleasure_n and_o to_o do_v with_o one_o consent_n for_o to_o give_v their_o kingdom_n unto_o the_o beast_n until_o the_o work_n of_o god_n be_v fullfil_v for_o so_o be_v this_o place_n to_o be_v set_v together_o as_o that_o the_o 17._o verse_n do_v immediate_o follow_v the_o 12._o for_o that_o there_o be_v a_o mis-placing_a of_o verse_n and_o a_o rent_v asunder_o of_o the_o chapter_n through_o the_o fault_n of_o the_o printer_n which_o also_o have_v happen_v in_o other_o place_n of_o the_o same_o book_n as_o the_o learned_a theodor_n beza_n have_v observe_v and_o teach_v upon_o the_o 15._o verse_n of_o the_o 16._o chapter_n it_o seem_v therefore_o that_o this_o be_v mean_v hereby_o namely_o that_o the_o beast_n shall_v receive_v her_o say_a power_n of_o those_o ten_o king_n for_o a_o hour_n which_o if_o it_o be_v true_a it_o will_v give_v great_a strength_n unto_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o schoolman_n but_o my_o answer_n héereunto_a be_v that_o this_o place_n of_o the_o revelation_n do_v not_o proper_o appertain_v unto_o that_o beast_n which_o represent_v antichrist_n but_o rather_o unto_o that_o which_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o the_o roman_a empire_n and_o that_o not_o as_o it_o be_v afterward_o when_o it_o be_v remove_v unto_o constantinople_n but_o as_o it_o be_v while_o it_o remain_v in_o italy_n for_o it_o be_v say_v that_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o before_o those_o ten_o king_n shall_v arise_v which_o shall_v utterlie_o overthrow_v rome_n and_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o roman_a empire_n there_o shall_v ten_o other_o appear_v and_o that_o at_o one_o time_n or_o instant_n which_o shall_v endeavour_n to_o raise_v again_o in_o italy_n the_o empire_n of_o rome_n and_o give_v and_o restore_v unto_o that_o first_o beast_n her_o ancient_a kingdom_n but_o shall_v nothing_o prevail_v wherefore_o that_o place_n of_o the_o apocalypse_n be_v direct_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o those_o who_o attempt_v to_o restore_v and_o set_v in_o place_n the_o say_a empire_n not_o in_o the_o east_n and_o constantinople_n but_o in_o italy_n and_o in_o rome_n itself_o who_o also_o as_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v specify_v shall_v be_v in_o number_n ten_o but_o as_o yet_o when_o john_n write_v be_v not_o begin_v or_o come_v at_o all_o and_o further_o shall_v arise_v all_o much_o about_o one_o time_n or_o instant_n and_o contend_v for_o the_o re-establish_a of_o the_o say_a romish_a empire_n after_o who_o ten_o other_o shall_v succeed_v who_o contrariwise_o shall_v devour_v the_o say_a empire_n that_o be_v shall_v utter_o and_o from_o the_o very_a foundation_n turn_v upside-down_a and_o put_v out_o the_o same_o therefore_o overpassing_a the_o opinion_n of_o other_o man_n and_o special_o of_o those_o who_o think_v that_o those_o ten_o king_n which_o shall_v favour_v the_o beast_n be_v such_o emperor_n as_o live_v before_o the_o day_n of_o the_o emperor_n domitian_n for_o their_o opinion_n swerve_v clean_o from_o the_o meaning_n of_o that_o place_n this_o i_o affirm_v that_o this_o place_n of_o the_o revelation_n which_o be_v read_v chapter_n 17._o verse_n 12._o and_o 17._o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o those_o ten_o emperor_n and_o king_n who_o reign_v last_o of_o all_o in_o italy_n after_o such_o time_n as_o the_o royal_a mansion_n of_o the_o empire_n be_v transport_v unto_o constantinople_n at_o what_o time_n the_o

the_o three_o that_o valiant_a emperor_n that_o be_v of_o the_o blood-royal_a about_o the_o year_n of_o our_o lord_n 459._o for_o it_o appear_v by_o history_n that_o incontinent_o after_o the_o say_a

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

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
