Again, what Catholic Father taught us, that the Pope is the head of the Church, above kings, above Councils, above the word of god, greater and of more authority then the Apostles: that he cannot err: that the whole world is his diocese: that he may not be judged what soever he do, although he draw a thousand souls down into hell: that he is neither man nor God, but a mixture meddled together of God and man: Al these things, our later Fathers have written of the Pope: and yet I leave a hundred things untouched. Thus far have they gone from their original and pattern.

But what greater disorder can there be in the Church of God, then when Antichrist shall come and sit in the place of God? There is an old fable of Antichrist, that when he cometh, he would turn trees upside down, and do such like wonders. But the marks whereby Antichrist shall be known indeed, are otherwise set down in the holy Scriptures. In his coming, abomination shall stand in the holy place, and trueth shall be thrown down in the earth.
