He was able to rule the whole world with a beck. His word stood as the word of God: no Prince nor Emperor durst withstand it. It was thought impossible that he should •rre. But now the world seeth, his wo• deceivable and vain: he erreth, and hath lived in great error. Now few men will believe him: no Prince will trust his word: howsoever they (whose eyes God hath not yet opened to see the truth) trust him in religion, in worldly matters they will not trust him. How cometh this so to pass? the man of sin is revealed. ⟨p. 339⟩What shall I say more? behold round about the world all places, and even Rome it self. The poor massing Priest standeth a cold, and can get no hire: the Popes Palls lie a rotting: his Bulls go a begging: his wares stand upon his hand: no wise man will buy them. Why? how cometh this so to pass? The man of sin is revealed, all his deceit and treachery is revealed.
