And behold saith he the eyes were as the eyes of a man in the horn, least, according to the ⟨p. 36⟩opinion of some, we should repute him either to be the devil or some Ghost, or else a singular man whom1 the devil should possess bodily; and a mouth speaking proud things. For he is the man of sin, the son of perdition, so that he dare sit in the temple of God making himself as God. Master Bullinger, a most grave writer, doth accord in judgement with the Fathers, touching this interpretation of this horn: but yet out of histories demonstrating that Antichrist is come already, that the three other horns are broken down, and that he is increased by the subjection of those others, and his kingdom to be enlarged, and to have his seat at Rome.

Maister Bullinger, a most graue writer, doth accord in iudgement with the Fathers, touching this interpretation of this horne: but yet out of histories demonstrating that Antichrist is come already, that the three other hornes are broken downe, and that he is increased by the subiection of those others, and his kingdome to be inlarged, and to haue his seate at Rome.
