The Pope stirreth and striveth at this day all that he can. He excommunicateth and curseth: he sendeth out his bulls: he bloweth up seditions: he breedeth treasons: he raiseth subjects against their Princes: he setteth Princes upon their subjects: he imprisoneth, and murdereth the Saints of God: he shaketh and inflameth the whole world in his quarrels. But all in vain. Why so? how cometh this to pass? there is no counsel, no wisdom, no fire, no sword, that shall prevail against the Lord. The man of sin, and his errors are revealed. Men see and know, and detest the blindness wherein they were lead: the people forsake him over and over the world.
The Pope stirreth and striueth at this day al that he can. He excommunicateth and curseth: he sendeth out his bulles: he bloweth vp seditions: he bréeoeth treasons: he raiseth subiects against their Princes: he setteth Princes vpon their subiects: he imprisoneth, and murdereth the Saints of God: he shaketh and enflameth the whole world in his quarrels. But al in vaine. Why so? howe commeth this to passe? there is no counsaile, no wisedome, no fire, no sworde, that shall preuaile against the Lorde. The man of sinne, and his errours are reuealed. Men sée and know, and detest the blindnesse wherein they were lead: the people forsake him ouer and ouer the world.
Whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall abolish with the brightness of his coming.
Whom the Lord shall consume with the spirite of his mouth, and shall abolish with the brightnesse of his comming.
9 Even him whose coming is by the effectual ⟨p. 340⟩working of Satan, with all power and signs, and lying wonders.
