This is Antichristianism, and that not only because these things are directly against the head-ship of Christ, but because these things do set up another head too; and so the word Antichrist may signify as well for one to be in stead of Christ (for so [Greek or Hebrew], the Greek signifieth, sometime as well, for, as against as of his fullness we receive grace for grace, it is [Greek or Hebrew], in the Greek, grace for grace) so Antichrist is one that shall set up himself ⟨p. 118⟩as head of the Church in stead of Christ, one that shall claim unto himself that head-ship that is proper to Jesus Christ, and not to be communicated to any from Jesus Christ.
