But who may better disclose this mystery, and the fall of Antichrist, than John. the Evangelist, which leaned on Jesus bosom, whom Jesus loved, and which was endued with wisdom from above? Let us hear him. I saw (saith he) an Angel sly in the midst of heaven, 1having an everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation and kindred, and tongue, and people, saying with a loud voice, Fear God, & give glory to him: for the hour of his judgement is come, & worship him that made heaven & earth, and the sea, & the fountains of waters. And there followed another Angel, saying: It is fallen, it is fallen, Babylon the great city: for she made all nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the third Angel following them, said with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in ⟨p. 374⟩his forehead, or on his hand, the same shall drink the wine of the wrath of God, and shall be tormented in fire and brimstone, before the holy Angels, and before the holy Lamb, they shall have no rest day nor night.
