And it is well said in the Revelation, that this Beast is the Image of the former Beast, for the Pope is altogether like the Emperors, almost in every thing. For the Emperors were crowned: The Pope for failing hath three Crowns: The Emperors had their scarlet: this is a purple coloured Whore in scarlet; They spake the Latin tongue, and forced all nations almost to speak Latin, as a monument of their slavery. So all in the Popish Church is in latin, their prayers in Latin, all in latin, even for the simple and sottish people to use. Ancient heathen Rome had their grave Senators; the Pope hath his Cardinals. The heathen Emperors, as Domitian and others would be adored as Gods: So likewise is the Pope of Rome adored, and mark the slight; he ⟨p. 10⟩hath a Crucifix upon his feet, and Kings must kiss that, & so with adoring of the Cross they adore his person, as they did Heliodorus, that heathen Emperor. Thus in every thing almost they agree with ancient Rome, and in many other things I might run over their likeness to the former Beast.
