The Apostle S. Paul plainly testifieth,1 such things as are written to be written for our learning, that through the patience & consolation of the scriptures we may have hope: wherefore we must also apply thereunto these things present. For Christ the lord of all, when he foresaw how greatly satan should by his chosen members the old and new Roman Empire, afflict the church, would have us diligently admonished of every thing, to the intent that all afflicted persons should hereof learn patience, and conceive comfort and hope, and not be discouraged with the heavy burden of evils. Like as he hath therefore diligently described the old Roman Empire, and showed as it were p•yntyng with the finger what mischief it should work to the church, & admonished all to have faith & patience: right so will he from hence forth describe popery or Antichristianism, in the which description he setteth forth before our eyes, what so ever the saints ⟨p. 386⟩shall suffer: that being warned before, they may abide more manfully persecution, and less yield to mischauntes.
