THE seven heads, are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth: they are also seven Kings. Five are fallen, and one is, & the other is not come. When he cometh he must continue a space. And the beast that was, and is not, is even the eight, and is one of the seven, and shall go into destruction. And the .x. horns which thou sawest, are .x. kings, which have not yet received the Kingdom, but shall receive power as kings at one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength to the beast. These shall fight with the lamb, & the lamb ⟨p. 517⟩shall overcome them. For he is Lord of all Lords, and King of all Kings: and they that are on his side, are called chosen, and faithful.

The Angel expounder of mysteries, proceedeth to declare to saint John the mystery of the beast exhibited, and of her judgement, & that by parts. And at this present uttereth three things: what is signified by seven heads: Why he said of the beast, he was and is not: and what the ten horns do betoken.
