1. It was he who (if I may speak it with reverence) like our Saviour had the honour to be prophesied of before he was born; and this even the Romans themselves cannot deny, since their own Histories acquaint us that one John Hilton a person they themselves held in great veneration for piety and gift of Prophecy, wrote thus almost a hundred years before Luther had declared himself against the Church of Rome. Much about the year 1516. the Mystery of Ungodliness shall begin to be discovered, and the Son of Righteousness shine forth in the Truth of the Gospel, and Popery shall in Germany, and other parts of the World then receive a Sudden Declension. This ⟨p. 2⟩Prophecy was certainly fulfilled by Luther who appeared at that time against Rome, and in spite of all her then domineering Tyranny gave her a greater blow than ever she received either before or since.
