And what time the faithful in the church shall be sufficiently admonished, so that such as will be wise,1 and not of a set purpose perish, may all escape the snares of Antichrist, and live in Christ, immediately shall follow persecution. For so soon as the Pope shall hear with his dregs, that he is assailed, he will straight way begin to thunder, and lighten, finally to crave & stir up the secular power against Heretics. For he showeth expressly, who shall be this enemy of these prophets and preaching, to wit the beast,2 that is the Bishop of Rome notable by his most cruel, tyrannical and beastly power. Of the beast shall be spoken more abundantly in the .13. and .17. chapt. where we shall hear that she cometh out of the earth, out of the bottomless pit, & out of the deep pit of hell. For the original of that wickedness is referred to non other parent, than the devil the prince of hell, a liar & murderer. And the thing it self speaketh at this day, that all persecutions & conflicts are moved, stirred & inferred of the Pope & of his bloody ministers of mischief. Of the same Authors arose all the calamities of former times.
