1Furthermore also the apparel of these prophets is showed, that hereof also may be gathered the manner of doctrine. They shall not be clothed in soft or precious apparel, as velvet, satin, or damask, or crimson ingrained, but in sackcloth. And sackcloth, as appeareth in the Prophets is for a mourning garment, and for such as are penitent. Therefore like as S. John was coarsely apparelled,2 and preached repentance. So shall these also move unto repentance and amendment of life, and persuade men to frugality, and riot and all untemperauncie they shall persecute. Certainly all good and learned men now these seven hundred years have required nothing else of the Pope and Clergy, and of the people but repentance and a reformation: for the which they have had small thank at their hands. But what the apparel of the Antichristianes is, there is no man ignorant at this day. Certain of it differeth not much from whorish. Consequently he declareth more fully and more at large, of what sort they shall be, and also their ministry, what also shall be the effect, and virtue of their preaching. And the same he setteth forth and declareth with sundry figures taken out of the scriptures.
1Furthermore also the apparel of these prophetes is shewed, that hereof also maye be gathered the maner of doctrine. They shal not be clothed in softe or preciouse apparel, as veluet, sactin, or damasne, or crimosine ingrayned, but in sackecloth. And sackecloth, as appereth in the Prophetes is for a mournyng garment, and for suche as are penitent. Therfore like as S. Iohn was coursely appareled,2 and preached repē taunce. So shal these also moue vnto repētaunce and amendement of life, and perswade men to frugalitie, and riot and al vntemperauncie they shal persecute. Certenly al good and learned men nowe these seuen hondreth yeres haue required nothing els of the Pope and Clergie, and of the people but repentaunce and a reformation: for the which they haue had small thanke at their handes. But what the apparell of the Antichristianes is, there is no man ignoraunt at this daye. Certen of it differeth not much from whorishe. Consequently he declareth more fully and more at large, of what sorte thei shal be, and also their ministerie, what also shal be the effecte, and vertue of their preachyng. And the same he setteth forth and declareth with sondry figures taken out of the scriptures.
