1And what the empire of Rome is at this day, he figureth now also, it hath seven heads, & ten horns, and every horn had his crown, signifying verily, that by horns are signified ⟨p. 371⟩kingdoms. Neither do we here bring in any new or far fetched exposition. In the .17. chapt. the Angel expoundeth him self, and sayeth, that by seven heads are signified seven mountains or hills, and even kings also. In Rome are accounted many hills, but there be seven notable. For there is mount Palatine, Capitoline, Aventine, Coelius, Esquiline, Viminal, and Quirinal: Propertius expounding the same in one verse (which I have expressed in two) sayeth: Septem urbs alta ingis toto quae praefidet orbe.
