What gather you of this?
First, that seeing the Popes Kingdom hangeth upon wonders, it is most like that he is Antichrist. Secondly, seeing the false christs, and the false prophets shall do great wonders, to deceive, if it were possible, the very elect, and that though some of the false prophets prophecies shall come to pass; we should not therefore believe the doctrine of Popery, for their wonders sakes, seeing the Lord thereby trieth our faith, who hath given to Satan great knowledge and power to work strange things, to bring those to damnation, who are appointed unto it. Whatsoever miracles are not profitable to some good, neither tend to confirm a truth, are false and lying; so that as the Lord left an evident difference between his miracles,1 and the Enchantments of the Egyptians; so hath he left an evident difference between the miracles of Christ and his Apostles, and those of the Romish Synagogue.
