And lest any man should think me to be led with an evil affection, for understanding these things of Rome, I will show by the testimony both of god & man, that the same exposition is old, and not new, true, and not affectated. For straight way the Angel him self, as we shall hear, expoundeth these things of Rome. Aretas also an old expositor of this book: diverse expositors, sayeth he, understand by the ⟨p. 505⟩whore old Rome. And the same by and by: whilst he sayeth the mother of whoredom, whether so ever you will, other old Rome or new, or the time of the coming of Antichrist (behold the time of Antichrist he sayeth) you can not err from the truth, for that both cities (Rome and Constantinople) hath occupied the empire, and every of them hath ben satiated with the blood of holy martyrs, &c. Hitherto he. And what the most ancient writer Tertullian, and S. Hierome hath spoken oftener than ones of Babylon and the purple whore, I have heretofore reported in the .14. chapt.1
