¶ Of the cruell fight of Antichrist agaynst the Prophetes of God, whome he ouercommeth and sleyeth, and shamefully vseth them. The .xlviij. Sermon.
And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that cam out of the bottomless pit, shall make war against them: and shall overcome them, & kill them. And their bodies shall lie in the streets of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom & Egypt, where our lord is crucified. And some of the people, and kindreds, and tongues, and ⟨p. 321⟩of nations, shall see their bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their bodies to be put in graves. And they that dwell upon the Earth, shall rejoice over them and be glad, and shall send gifts one to an other: for these two Prophets vexed them that dwell on the earth.
