Secondly, John calleth that City where he must sit, the Lady of the world; which only agreeth to Rome, being the mother City of the world. Thirdly, it was that City that was seated upon seven hills; which by all ancient records belongeth properly and only to Rome. As for the occasion of the Popes placing there, it came by the means of translating of the seat of the Empire from Rome to Constantinople; from whence ensued also the parting of the Empire ⟨p. 266⟩into two parts; by which division it being weakened, and after also sundered in affection, as well as in place, was the easier to be entered and invaded by the Pope.
