Contrariwise the miracles of Antichrist 1are done to pull thee from the word of God, and from believing his promises and from Christ, and to put thy trust in a man, or a ceremony wherein Gods word is not. As soon as Gods word is believed, the faith spread abroad, then cease the miracles of god. But the miracles of Antichrist, because they are wrought by the devil, to quench the faith, grow daily more and more: neither shall cease until the worlds end among them that believe not Gods word and promises. Seest thou not how God loosed & sent forth all the devils in the old world among the Heathen or Gentiles? And how the devils wrought miracles, & spake to them in every image? Even so shall the devil work falsehood by one craft or an other, until the worlds end among them that believe not Gods word. For the judgement and damnation of him that hath no lust to hear the truth, is to hear lies, and to be stablished and grounded therein through false miracles, and he that will not see, is worthy to be blind, and he that biddeth the spirit of God go from him, is worthy to be without him.

But the miracles of Antichrist, because they are wrought by the deuil, to quench the fayth, grow dayly more and more: neither shall cease vntill the worldes end among them that beloue not Gods worde and promises. Seest thou not how God loosed & sent forth all the deuils in the old world among the Heathen or Gētiles? And how the deuils wrought miracles, & spake to them in euery image? Euen so shal the deuill woorke falshode by one craft or an other, vntill the worldes end amōg them that beleue not Gods word. For the iudgement and damnation of hym that hath no lust to heare the truth, is to heare lyes, and to be stablished and grounded therein through false miracles, and he that will not see, is worthy to be blind, and he that biddeth the spirite of God go from him, is worthy to be without him.
