In the Revelation Antichrist is described by a woman, and in Zechariah sin is called a woman, which showeth, that women have many faults,1 therefore he which chooseth of them, had need have judgement, and make an Anatomy of their hearts and minds, before he say, This shall be mine. For the wisest man saith; I have found one man of a thousand, but a woman among them all have I not found. ⟨p. 18⟩Although this may be understood of his Concubines, yet it implieth that generally there is a greater infirmity in women, than in men, because he compareth them together, as though there were a dearth of good women over the world.
