This, saith Saint Paul is a mark of Antichrist, by this shall he be known. Forbidding of marriage is a doctrine of Devils: not of Christ, or of God, but of devils. It is a gulf, it is a sea, it is a world, it is a hell of iniquity: and the vilest villainy that ever crept into the Church of GOD. Hierome expounding the words of Daniel, He shall have no regard to the desires of women, saith, Facili• 1interpretatio est, de Antichristo, quodideo simul• castitatem ut plurimos decipiat. The better exposition here of is to apply these words to Antichrist, for that he shall pretend chastity, that he may deceive many. This is the mystery of iniquity. This is the practise of Antichrist. He shall come with a cloak of counterfeited chastity, not with true chastity hath in body, and also in spirit, but with counterfeit chastity, and so shall deceive the hearts of many.
This, saith Saint Paul is a marke of Antichrist, by this shall he be knowne. Forbidding of marriage is a doctrine of Diuelles: not of Christ, or of God, but of diuels. It is a gulfe, it is a sea, it is a world, it is a hel of iniquitie: and the vilest vilanie that euer crept into the Church of GOD. Hierome expounding the wordes of Daniel, Hee shall haue no regarde to the desires of women, saith, Facili• 1interpretatio est, de Antichristo, quodideo simul• castitatem vt plurimos decipiat. The better exposition here of is to applie these words to Antichrist, for that he shal pretend chastitie, that he may deceiue manie. This is the mysterie of iniquitie. This is the practise of Antichrist. Heshall come with a cloake of counterfaited chastitie, not with true chastitie hath in bodie, and also in spirite, but with counterseit chastitie, and so shall deceiue the hearts of manie.
