¶For this cause chiefly do the purposes of Antichrist prosperously prevail / be cause he him self hath deceived the chosen children of god. As Christ saith. There shall arise false christen and false prophets / ¹and shall give great signs & wonders. So greatly that if it were possible / even the chosen should be brought in to error. And here doth he monish us that the elect shall not be brought in to error (all though they be deceived) that is to say that error shall not utterly subdue them / and hold them perpetually / but that at the lest in death they shall be redeemed. Like as in the pater noster it is not the will of god that we should not be tempted with diverse temptations / but that we-shall not be brought in to temptations / that is to say that we should not be overcome / and holden perpetually under temptation / for the righteous man falleth .vij. times / how be it he lieth not still / but riseth as often again. Even so I doubt not but that sanct Bernard / Francisce / Dominic and many other holy men and women have erred as concerning the Pope not perceiving his kingdom of faces / and so approving many of his acts / or else they would have resisted them with the word of God /
