What it is to worship the beast & his Image, and what it is to receive the mark in the forehead and on the right hand, I have sufficiently declared before in the .13. chapt. Briefly they worship, and receive the mark of the beast, which do participate with the Popish church or religion: finally which obey the wicked decrees of the Empire, and persevere in the obedience of the See without repentance. Aretas expounding this place: to worship the beast, sayeth he, and to receive his seal, is, to esteem Antichrist to be God, and in word and wo•ke, to set forth such things as he coveteth.

And here in an horrible wise, & with prophetical words,1 is described everlasting damnation, prepared for them, who forsaking Christ the saviour, cleave unto Antichrist the destroyer. Like as they have drunken of the corrupt doctrine infused of the Pope: so again shall they drink, that the just lord shall pour out of the cup of wrath. And the wine that is poured in the cup of Gods wrath, is the strait, exquisite, & most grievous judgement of God, wherein being angry, he inflicteth to the Antichristians horrible & unspeakable punishment. A like manner of speech is red in Jeremiah the .25. chapt. And like as pure wine, not delayed, is of most efficacy, and pierceth: so the judgement of God, wherein he will proceed against the Antichristians, shall be most grievous, such as no tongue be it never so eloquent can express.
