For these also have their dwelling in the clefts of the rocks, persuading themselves, that that is the rock, on which the Church of GOD is built; making their brags by reason of their power & league with so mighty Potentates, that they cannot be moved: lifting up their nests as an Eagle, as the Emperor, whose ensign is the Eagle, the sp• Eagle for that he was Emperor of Constantinople and Rome, but spoiled of both, for that the Pope ⟨p. 21⟩hath deprived him of one, even as the Turk hath done of the other. He hath lift up his nest to the stars, & not said in his heart, but proclaimed by written books, and shameless libels cast abroad among us, that by reason of his flourishing estate and great power he can not be brought low. Wherein they have showed greater arrogance, then ever the Idumeans did, in that prophecy, Imperium sine fine dedi.1
