The Prophet Isaiah called a false prophet, tail,1 by reason of his soothing and flattering words, for that with his mealy mouth and sweet words, he crepeth in favour with great men. Therefore with flattering and deceivable words, and lying promises, wherewith (as in times past) he promiseth his worshippers godly things, he persuadeth to all wickedness, stars, that is to say, preachers & notable men: whom taken from heavenly things, he casteth unto earthly things, ⟨p. 352⟩that having forgotten celestial matters and their holy office and duty, they may cleave now unto earthly things, being wrapped in the earthly folds of the Devils tail. And thus in deed he shall corrupt not a few. For he putteth the third part of stars, for a great number of notable men, whose ministry he useth against the church. Hereof there be many and that notable examples of all times in all histories.
