But here is set forth an image of a notable fight, whereby is showed what hath ben, & what is yet done in earth. I said even now, that this combat was in deed particular, but to have a general fight annexed. For Michael fighteth which is as captain of this war: and Michael's Angels fight also:1 which must be well discerned, although that Michael & his Angels make but one part only. On the other side fighteth the dragon, as emperor of this war, & his angels fight also. And these verily make non other parts, than we have heard before in the beginning of this chapt. That the party of this fight were the church & the devil. Nevertheless leest the victory should be attributed to the church, & not rather to Christ, the woman must now be omitted, and Michael brought in fighting. ⟨p. 356⟩Whereupon there is in these things some difficulty: but it shall be easy enough for him, that will mark every thing in order.
