¶ Of the signes of Antichrist, and Image of the beaste of him reysed. The .lx. Sermon.
And he did great wonders, so that he made fire come down from heaven into the earth in the sight of men, and deceived them that dwelt on the earth by the means of those signs which he had power to do in the sight of the beast, saying to them that dwelt on the Earth: that they should make an Image unto the beast, which had the wound of a sword, and did live. And he had power to give a sprite unto the image of the ⟨p. 397⟩beast, and that the image of the beast should speak. And should cause that as many as would not worship the Image of the beast should be killed.
