Neither shall S. John prophesy otherwise before the judgement.1 He shall not return into the Earth in his body out of Heaven: but the preachers endued with the doctrine of S. John, shall renew all his doctrine, they shall expound such things which he hath left unto the church written in his Gospel, in his Epistles, and in the Apocalypse. This book hath a while lain hid, contemned also of good and learned men: yet preaching the same, that is contained and set forth in this book. but it shall be brought to light of others, & be set by: as it is plain that in this our memory is done of many. And of all these things we do clearly perceive, how Antichrist must be impugned and slain, not with carnal Armours, but with spiritual: to wit by sincere doctrine, framed after the example of Enoch, Eli and John, and taken out of the holy scriptures.

And under the doctrine ⟨p. 300⟩of John we understand the whole evangelical and Apostolical doctrine, in the writing & setting forth whereof S.

And of al these thinges we doe clerely perceyue, how Antichrist muste be impugned and slayne, not with carnall Armures, but with spirituall: to witte by sincere doctrine, framed after the example of Enoch, Helie and Iohn, and taken out of the holy scriptures. Wherof we shal speake more fully in the .11. Briefly the doctrine of Iohn about the laste iudgement shal be renewed agayne, and be knowen to the worlde in despite and agaynst theyr will.
