1Therefore not without cause all wise men have grievously condemned seditions, which we are wont to call tumults or uproars: as by the which are assembled many naughty natures, and occasion is given them to break out at their lust, and to hurt. But seeing that so many nations were subject to the Roman Empire, and have erred nevertheless in the true faith, what shall it prevail hereafter to reckon up many and sundry kingdoms, which should consent in any religion: as though the sincereness & verity of religion should depend upon a multitude of men agreeing in the same.

1Now followeth the judgement of God against bloody Rome, which is the chiefest thing in this vision: the some of all is, Rome shall be rent in pieces, and burnt with fire: as we heard also in the .13. chapt. like as she hath done to others, so shall be done unto her. And these things are to be expounded first of old Rome, and after of new: and in the same must the words be first considered, than a conference of stories must be had, out of the which the truth of the prophecy may appear.
