1After he cometh to the evil, and addeth: and shouldest destroy them that destroyed the earth. These things seem borrowed of the prophets, with whom is much mention of the destroyers of the earth, whom the lord should destroy at the length. And under the name of destroyers S. John understandeth first Tyrants, Kings, and Princes, that be persecutors of the church. Also men of war and soldiers, which by unjust wars destroy all things with sword and fire. Secondly he understandeth unjust judges, moreover oppressors of the poor, which afflict widows, and the fatherless: more over which in usury, theft, deceitfulness, extortion, and evil means are hurtful to all men, and by their unsatiable covetousness breed a dearth of all things. Finally, which by whoredom and adultery defile & break holy matrimony. Last heretics destroy the earth, & such as infect men with corrupt doctrine, that dwell upon the Earth: into the which number come also seditious persons and traitors, and other wicked men.
1After he cometh to the euill, and addeth: and shouldest distroy them that distroyed the earth. These thinges seme borrowed of the prophetes, with whom is much mention of the distroyers of the earth, whom the lord should distroye at the length. And vnder the name of distroyers S. Iohn vnderstandeth first Tirauntes, Kinges, and Princes, that be persecutours of the church. Also menne of warre and souldiours, whiche by vniuste warres distroye all thinges with sworde and fire. Secondely he vnderstandeth vniuste iudges, moreouer oppressours of the poore, which afflicte widowes, and the fatherles: more ouer whiche in vsurie, thefte, disceiptefulnes, extorsion, and euill meanes are hurteful to all men, and by their vnsatiable couetousenes brede a darth of al thinges. Finally, which by whoredome and aduoutrie defile & breake holy matrimony. Laste heretikes distroye the earth, & suche as infecte men with corrupte doctrine, that dwell vpon the Earth: into the which numbre come also seditiouse persons and traitours, and other wicked men.
