Bishop Bilson in his book of the difference, between Christian subjection, and unchristian Rebellion, delivers his judgement often accordingly, as a matter out of controversy, affirming the Tyranny ⟨p. 132⟩of Rome to be the power of darkness, and kingdom of Antichrist, applying the pride of the Papacy, to that of the man of sin, exalting himself in the Temple of God. 2 Thessal. 2. It was, saith he, the ancient device and drift of Antichrist, to make himself mighty: when it was first attempted by Hildebrand (Greg. 7.) and now coloured by the Papists, with the name of Religion. p. 527. 817. &c.

Bishop Hall, that elegant and pious Bishop of Norwich, hath much to this purpose, dispersed through his works. (No peace with Rome, Sect. 1.) Look on the face of the Roman Church, she is Gods and ours, look on the back, she is quite contrary Antichristian. Sect. 22. shall we ever grow to that height of madness, as to come from ⟨p. 133⟩the Standard of God to the tents of the Roman Antichrist. The heavens shall pass away by a change, Rome by a destruction, not a change. (The Honour of the married Clergy) Were it not for this opinion (i. e. the forbidding it) the Church of Rome would want one evident brand of her Antichristianism. (Sect. 15.) Speaking of a Popish Priest; Well doth it become the son of that Babylonish strumpet, the lips drenched in the cup of those fornications, &c. and abundance of the like, might be produced.
