But to return; for the remaining part of the story concerning this Armillus, I § 14 know not whether they have borrowed it from those of the Roman Church, or these from them; but evident it is that they strive to impose the odium of Antichrist upon one another. The Papists say that Antichrist shall be a Jew, of the Tribe of Dan, and that he shall persuade the Jews that he is their Messiah; that by their help, and others joining with them, he shall conquer many Nations, destroy Rome, slay Enoch and Elijah, and afterwards be destroyed himself by fire from Heaven, by the power of Christ. The Jews, that their Armillus shall be a Roman, born of Idolatrous Fornication, that he •hall persuade the Roman Christians, that he is the Head of their Religion and Author of their Prayer Books; that he shall conquer many Nations, fight against Jerusalem, slay Messiah Ben Joseph, and afterwards be consumed with fire from Heaven, through the power of Ben David. To whether party the Glory of this invention is to be assigned, I am uncertain; the story for the substance of it, is the same on both sides, only variously fitted unto their several interests.
