1The pride and arrogance of the wicked, and chiefly of the Antichristians hath seemed hitherto in the world intolerable: they have oppressed the godly, bragged of their victories and have boasted of their own felicity with full cheeks: and as we shall hear in the .18. chapt. of this book, that beast hath said: I sit as Queen, & am no widow, and shall never see any sorrow. For voices are heard from Rome: all Empires are ours. It is known what manner of things Augustinus Steuchus an Italian and chief champion of the Popes holiness hath set forth in this cause against Laurence Valla, about the donation of Constantine. And daily are heard the brags & rejoicings of the papists, of the everlasting continuance of the See of Rome, of her victories, & oppression of the preaching of the Gospel, & that the same hath her power stretched through out the world, &c. But in that day (what time verily our lord Jesus Christ, shall abolish all power, rule, & authority & shall have made all his enemies his foot stool according to the scripture in the .110. Psalm. And in the .1. to the Corinth. the .15.) There shall be heard again the voices of the glad and joyful, singing true and eternal triumphing songs in heaven. For Angels and saints shall sing together: wherefore the voices shall be greater & more durable, than the voices of Christs enemies, which last but a small season.
1The pride and arrogancie of the wicked, and chiefly of the Antichristians hath semed hitherto in the world intollerable: thei haue oppressed the godly, bragged of their victories and haue boasted of theyr owne felicitie with full chekes: and as we shall heare in the .18. chapt. of this boke, that beaste hath sayed: I sitte as Quene, & am no widowe, and shal neuer see any sorrow. For voices are hearde from Rome: al Empires are oures. It is knowen what maner of thinges Augustinus Steuchus an Italian and chiefe champion of the Popes holines hath set forth in this cause against Laur••ce Valla, about the donation of Cōstantine. And dayly are hearde the brags & reioycings of the papistes, of the euerlasting cōtinuaūce of the See of Rome, of her victories, & oppression of the preachyng of the Gospell, & that the same hath her power stretched through out the world, &c. But in that day (what time verely our lord Iesus Christ, shal abolish al power, rule, & authoritie & shal haue made al his enemies his fote stoole accordyng to the scripture in the .110. Psalme. And in the .1. to the Corinth. the .15.) Ther shal be hearde againe the voyces of the gladde and ioyeful, singing trewe and eternal triumphing songes in heauen. For Angelles and sainctes shal sing together: wherfore the voices shal be greater & more durable, thā the voices of Christes enemies, which last but a smal season.
