1Howbeit the Lord addeth the use and effect of Antichrists wonders, to the end the church might judge rightly of them: and he deceiveth, sayeth he, the dwellers on the Earth by reason of the miracles, &c. He shall seduce by these signs or miracles, to wit by that grace of the spirit, which he feigneth ⟨p. 401⟩that he giveth, and with those his excommunications wherewith he would seem to caste men down into hell, that dwell upon Earth, that is to say more given to earthly than to heavenly things. And he shall lead them from the faith of Christ, unto his trumperies. Therefore must we judge of the tokens and doctrine of Antichrist, for that they seduce men. Leave marvelling therefore, how it hath chanced, that the Pope hath allured to his side so many men of wisdom and learning. You have heard already, by what means this is done. Therefore be not you always fools, learn, take heed, and believe Christ and his Gospel, and cleave thereunto.
1Howbeit the Lord addeth the vse and effect of Antichristes wonders, to thende the church might iudge rightly of them: and he deceaueth, sayeth he, the dwellers on the Earth by reason of the miracles, &c. He shall seduce by these signes or miracles, to wit by that grace of the spirite, whiche he faineth ⟨p. 401⟩that he geueth, and with those his excommunications wherwith he would seme to caste men downe into hell, that dwell vpon Earth, that is to saye more geuen to earthly than to heauenly thinges. And he shall leade them from the fayth of Christ, vnto his tromperies. Therefore must we iudge of the tokens and doctrine of Antichrist, for that they seduce men. Leaue maruelyng therefore, howe it hath chaunced, that the Pope hath allured to his side so many menne of wisedome and learnyng. You haue hearde already, by what meanes this is done. Therefore be not you alwayes fooles, learne, take hede, and beleue Christe and his Gospell, and cleaue thereunto.
