And to this kingdom the lord Jesus ascribeth open wickedness, yea he calleth it blasphemous. For he addeth:1 and upon his heads the name of blasphemy, that is to say, what plasphemie so ever may at any time be any where devised, all ⟨p. 372⟩that same shall be found manifest in this Empire, and chiefly in the heads. For if ye behold the hills of Rome, chiefly the Mount Capitoline, ye shall find it called of Cicero, the mansion place of the Gods, verily for that it contained in a manner the Images of all the Goddes. For on those hills were seen the Temples of Jupiter after all his properties, &c. The Temples of Saturn, Juno, Minerva, of Mars the revenger, of Hercules, Janus, Venus, Apollo: also the Temples of Fortune, Health, Victory, concord, and such other. But if ye look upon the Princes themselves, Caius would have his Images set up in Temples, and the people to swear by his name. Nero blasphemed the name of Christ, and by shedding of innocent blood sought to abolish the Gospel. Domitian commanded him self to be called God and the Lord. And others also have required godly honours, men swimming in blasphemies, and stinking, in all wickedness.
And to this kingdome the lord Iesus ascribeth open wickednes, ye he calleth it blasphemouse. For he addeth:1 and vpō his heades the name of blasphemie, that is to saye, what plasphemie so euer may at any time be any where diuised, al ⟨p. 372⟩that same shall be founde manifeste in this Empire, and chiefely in the heades. For yf ye beholde the hilles of Rome, chiefly the Mounte Capitoline, ye shall finde it called of Cicero, the mansion place of the Gods, verely for that it conteyned in a maner the Images of all the Goddes. For on those hilles were sene the Temples of Iupiter after all his properties, &c. The Temples of Saturne, Iuno, Minerua, of Mars the reuenger, of Hercules, Ianus, Venus, Apollo: also the Temples of Fortune, Helth, Victory, concorde, and suche other. But yf ye loke vpon the Princes themselues, Caius woulde haue his Images sette vp in Temples, and the people to sweare by his name. Nero blasphemed the name of Christe, and by sheddyng of innocent bloud sought to abolissh the Gospell. Domitian commaunded him selfe to be called God and the Lorde. And others also haue required godly honours, menne swimming in blasphemies, and stinking, in all wickednes.
