1Therefore like as this whole book is taken out of the scriptures, and expoundeth exceedingly well the old scriptures: so these things also which are by and by in the beginning rehearsed, seem to be taken out of the .3. chapt. of Gene. Where the lord sayeth: I will put enmity betwixt thee (meaning the Serpent) and the woman, betwixt thy seed, and her seed: her seed shall break thy head, and thou shalt bite his heel. For you shall read in the end also of this chapt. And the Dragon was angry with the woman, and went his way that he might make war with the residue of her seed.

And he describeth above all things the parts of this conflict,1 her which was assailed by war, and the which moved the war, to wit the church and the Dragon. And he sayeth, how a token of these things appeared in heaven. For he would not only say or write, but also set them forth to be seen of the eyes, and in manner to paint, to the intent all things more plainly might be seen. And where he sayeth those tokens were great, he admonisheth, that they were and be things of most weight, and matters of greatest importance.
