Hillarius. It is very true, and thou thy self shalt Judge it, provided that thou do hear my reasons. I will not allege for confirmation of my theme, that which saint Paul hath written of Antichrist, the man of sin, 1the son of perdition, which exalteth himself above all that is called god, or which is worshipped, so y• he shall sit as god in the Temple of God, and show himself as God: Notwithstanding that that Prophecy and titles do agree marvellously well to that God of whom we speak. But I will proceed by an other way, the which shall serve for an exposition of those words of Saint Paul.

Now if he be but God in the earth, he hath then nothing in heaven: And he must not open the gates of Paradise unto the souls of Purgatory. And so I may serve my self with their public witness, for to prove that which I said of his keys, which cannot be stretched forth out of this earth.
