Aaron cast forth his rod before Pharaoh, and ⟨p. 344⟩1his servants, and it was turned into a serpent: And the charmers of Egypt did in like manner with their enchantments. Aaron smote the water, and all the water that was in the river, was turned into blood: and the enchanters of Egypt did likewise with their sorceries. And as Aaron caused frogs to come 2and cover the land, so the sorcerers did likewise with their sorceries. But the illusions of the 3magical Arts came to naught (saith Solomon) and it was a most shameful reproach for boasting their knowledge. So shall Antichrist come in working signs, and lying wonders, as did Jannes and Jambres to deface the gospel and glory of God.

Aaron smote the water, and al the water that was in the riuer, was turned into bloud: and the inchaunters of Aegipt did likewise with their sorceries. And as Aaron caused frogges to come 2and couer the land, so the sorcerers did likewise with their sorceries. But the illusions of the 3magical Artes came to naught (saith Salomon) and it was a most shamefull reproch for boasting their knowledge. So shall Antichrist come in working signes, and lying wonders, as did Iannes and Iambres to desace the gospell and glorie of God.
