To make an end of this part of knowledge of Antichrist, who he shall be, in what place he shall dwell, and of that which should let his coming: let us remember he shall be no Jew nor heathen, but a christian, and no king or temporal wight, but a bishop, an universal priest, and most holy Pope. As Hierome upon the words of the prophet, O pastor & Idolum, &c. O idol shepherd, that &c. saith, Pastor stultus 1& imperitus haud dubitem quin sit Antichristus, qui in consummatione mundi dicitur esse venturus, I doubt nothing but that this foolish and unskilful shepherd is Antichrist, which should come towards the end of the world. ⟨p. 333⟩And farther sayth: Tam sceleratus est pastor ut 2non idolorum cultor sed ipse idolum nominetur: dumb se appellat deum & vult ab omnibus adorari. This shepherd is so wicked that he is not called a worshipper of idols, but an idol it self: because he calleth himself God, & will be worshipped of all men.
