He hath hitherto discoursed in general of the just judgements of God: albeit that in the mean time he hath touched some particular matters concerning Babylon or Rome, rather than reasoned. And now consequently severally, and evidently he handleth the destruction or end of the beast, and of his Image, of old Rome and new, I mean both the empire and papistry: which he seemeth to point as it were with the finger. In the .13.14. and .16. chapt. he signified somewhat hereof, now he pursueth every thing with a notable plenty and evidence. And the same that I said in the beginning of this place, I repeat here again: that hereby are affirmed, how the justice of God is showed to be the end of good and evil,1 that the godly are confirmed, and the judgement to come established, as we confess expressly in the apostles creed. The some of all is this: the old and new Rome, the Empire and Popish kingdom, which is the kingdom of Antichrist shall perish for sins, & great enormities. For he joineth together the beast, and the Image of the beast, the beast and one sitting on the beast, a proud strumpet, so that they can not be separated. Therefore must the place be expounded of both Empires.2
He hath hitherto discoursed in generall of the iuste iudgemētes of God: albeit that in the meane time he hath touched some particular matters concernyng Babylon or Rome, rather than reasoned. And nowe consequently seuerally, and euidently he handleth the destruction or ende of the beast, and of his Image, of olde Rome and newe, I meane both thempire and papistrie: which he semeth to poinct as it were with the fingar. In the .13.14. and .16. chapt. he signified somewhat hereof, nowe he pourseweth euery thinge with a notable plentie and euidence. And the same that I sayed in the beginning of this place, I repete here agayne: that hereby are affirmed, howe the iustice of God is shewed to be the ende of good and euill,1 that the godly are confirmed, and the iudgement to come establisshed, as we confesse expressely in the apostles crede. The some of al is this: tholde and newe Rome, the Empire and Popish kingdome, which is the kyngdome of Antichrist shall perish for sinnes, & great enormities. For he ioyneth together the beaste, and the Image of the beaste, the beast and one sittyng on the beaste, a prowde strompet, so that they can not be separated. Therefore muste the place be expounded of both Empires.
