And the Dragon fought hand to hand against the lord,1 not only matched with him in the desert, but also never ceased to tempt and assail him, so long as he lived here on earth: he stirred up also against him the Pharisees & Princes of the people, kings and the Roman governor, and so at the last brake the lords heel. This was the greatest fight of the Dragon. The same Dragon inspireth now kings and Princes, wicked Priests and cruel men, his Angels which may war upon the church. And all these verily do persecute and vex the church in the power of the red Dragon. Stories declare the same to be done before Christs time: the same testify, and experience proveth, the like to be done from the ascension of Christ into Heaven, unto this present day, and unto the worlds end.
And the Dragon fought hande to hande agaynst the lord,1 not only matched with him in the deserte, but also neuer ceased to tempte and assayle him, so longe as he liued here on earth: he stired vp also agaynst him the Phariseis & Princes of the people, kinges and the Romane gouernour, and so at the laste brake the lordes heele. This was the greatest fight of the Dragon. The same Dragon inspireth now kinges and Princes, wicked Priestes and cruel men, his Angelles which maye warre vpon the churche. And all these verely do persecute and vexe the churche in the power of the red Dragon. Stories declare ye same to be done before Christes time: the same testifie, and experiēce proueth, the like to be done from the ascension of Christ into Heauen, vnto this present daye, and vnto the worldes ende.
