Furthermore old Rome had power to do these things,1 for she sate upon many waters that is, had dominion & rule over many people, and sundry nations. Yea al•o the kings of the Earth have committed whoredom with her, wh• lest they have submitted themselves to the Romans, bounden themselves in league,2 and received of them superstitions and Idolatry. For the children of Israel were also said to have committed whoredom with the Egyptians, for that they had joined amity with them, and were become fellows in profane religions. And so new Rome the Popes kingdom stretcheth far and wide, and the Kings and Princes of the Earth commit whoredom with her. Therefore doeth the word of the Lord call it filthy whoredom, which the Romish name an holy bond and obedience. There is added, and they that dwell upon Earth are made drunken. For he signifieth, that being infected with errors, yea rather asotted, & clean out of their wits, they have ben mad in Idolatry, and yet rage in their superstitions, like drunkards, and can not for fury receive the preaching of the gospel. Touching this wine of fornication and whoredom, and of that drunkenness I have spoken in the .14. chap. And it is aptly spoken, that dwellers upon Earth are made drunken, not so much for that men dwelling upon Earth are made ⟨p. 508⟩drunken, as for that earthly men and choked with earthly desires, shall become faithful worshippers of the Romish See.

For the children of Israell were also sayed to haue committed whoredome wyth the Aegiptians, for that they had ioyned amitie with them, and were become fellowes in prophane religions. And so newe Rome the Popes kingdome stretcheth farre and wide, and the Kinges and Princes of the Earth committe whoredome with her. Therefore doeth the worde of the Lorde calle it filthye whoredome, whiche the Romisshe name an holy bonde and obedience. There is added, and they that dwell vpon Earth are made dronkē. For he signifieth, that beyng infected with errours, yea rather asotted, & cleane out of their wittes, they haue ben madde in Idolatrie, and yet rage in their superstitions, like drōkardes, and can not for furie receaue the preaching of the gospel.
