And the alterations of the Church of Rome are much to be lamented, which being here so highly praised for the religion1 which it received, hath afterward so degenerated, that it is now made the seat of Antichrist, whereby we are admonished that the Church abideth not always in one and the self same state and place. It daily changeth his abiding places, and wandereth from nation to nation. There were not long ago in the East, most noble Churches, namely, at Jerusalem, Antioch, Alexandria, and Constantinople, where at this day reigneth the filthiness of Mahumet, and those Christians which live there, are addicted unto infinite superstitions, and do by little and little degenerate into a strange religion. Wherefore the sentence of our saviour is most true, wherein he pronounced, that the last should be first, and the first last.
