Aquinas to prove the stability of the papacy allegeth the Prophecy of Daniel. 2. chapter, where having spoken of the four kingdoms, & coming to the last, which should destroy the other, and endure for ever: he applieth it to Christs kingdom, but so, that it belongeth to the Papacy, adding, if they feed the flock. Now for that they hold, that it cannot fail in doctrine, they conclude, that the estate of the popedom must endure for ever, according to the words of that prophecy. I stand not to show how true the former part is, that Rome should destroy the other kingdoms: but on that, that he saith it shall be eternal. Which blasphemy is as great, as that which he uttered in the former chapter, applying to the Pope that, which is spoken of our Savi our, of his fullness we have all received. But though hereby they may say, as great Babylon, I sit as a Queen, and 1shall see no sorrows, yet the mighty Angel took a stone like a millstone and cast it into the sea, and said, with such violence shall the great city Babylon be cast, and shall be found no more.
