The whole-armour of GodThe vvhole-armor of God

For themselves they have usurped dominion,¹ they have by tyranny taken principality unto themselves, even as one of their chiefest instruments on earth have done (I mean that man of sin,^b Who exalteth himself above all that is called god, or worshipped, showing himself that he is God, even that Whore of Babylon, who^c glorified her self.) Thus have these Principalities here spoken of, exalted and glorified themselves. In regard of this ambitious tyrannical usurpation; the Devil having showed Christ all the Kingdoms of the world, and the⟨p. 63⟩ glory of them, said^d This is delivered to me, and to whomsoever I will, I give it.

For themselues they haue vsurped dominion,¹ they haue by tyrannie taken principallitie vnto themselues, euen as one of their chiefest instruments on earth haue done (I meane that man of sinne,^b Who exalteth himselfe aboue all that is called god, or worshipped, shewing himselfe that he is God, euen that Whore of Babylon, who^c glorified her selfe.) Thus haue these Principallities heere spoken of, exalted and glorified themselues. In regard of this ambitious tyrannicall vsurpation; the Diuell hauing shewed Christ all the Kingdomes of the world, and the⟨p. 63⟩ glory of them, said^d This is deliuered to me, and to whomsoeuer I will, I giue it.
