Now is given also the beast a mouth speaking great things, and blasphemies.1 Of blasphemies we shall speak more anon. But forasmuch as the Roman Empire obtained greatest victories, and held most gallant and solemn triumphs, it seemeth to have occasion given to boast proudly of the victories, & to challenge those things to themselves, which were in deed wrought through the power of God. And doubtless there do yet remain the greatest and most licentious brags of the Romans, that they are conquerors and lords of the world. But such pride was grievously punished in Nebuchadnezzar the King. Whereof you may see in the .4. chapt. of Daniel. S. Peter affirmeth that God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. God hateth the arrogant, and taketh away their names from the Earth.

And doubtlesse there do yet remayne the greatest and moste licentiouse bragges of the Romanes, that they are conquerours and lordes of the world. But such pride was greuously punnisshed in Nabuchodonozor the King. Whereof you maye see in the .4. chapt. of Daniel. S. Peter affirmeth that God resisteth the proude, and geueth grace to the humble. God hateth the arrogant, and taketh awaye their names frō the Earth.
