¹And like as in the story of the gospel the lord intermireth a prophecy of the destruction of Jerusalem, and of the end of the world, that every man might, of this that he seeth the city of Jerusalem, right so as the lord had prophesied, to have perished, neither that one stone hath remained upon an other, gather by like truth & certainty that this world shall fall: So may we of this that we see the old city of Rome fallen, & so great an Empire, which was thought should have lasted for ever, brought to naught, gather also that new Rome with her shadow or image of the empire, shall as sure as day fall, & be brought to naught. And first in deed the Saracens & Turks, which ruled, and yet reign in the provinces subject to the Roman Empire, as in Asia, Greece, Egypt, Africa, Slavonia, and base Hungary, and therefore be rightly accounted amongst the ten horns, do hate worse than dog or snake both Popery it self, and Rome, and all that Imagery Empire. Yea & stories also testify, that they have oft times made invasions, and spoiled Rome it self. What is done at this day, experience it self teacheth. But whether the Turk, or the christen Princes themselves, converted to Christ by the Gospel, shall spoil this new Rome, destroy it utterly and burn it with fire, the Lord knoweth, who seemeth here to intimate some such thing hereof. This is certain, that Christ alone with his hand shall bring down Antichrist, and abolish him with his coming. Certain it is, that the Earth, and all the works that be therein shall be burnt. For thus is the apostolical doctrine: and that all these things shall be in the end of the world. Read Paul .2. to the Thess. the .2. And Peter the .2. Epistle the .3. chap. Moreover there arise in sundry kingdoms of the world learned men, which ones being bounden to the See of Rome, have defended her & her stinking idol: but after converted to Christ, begin to hate both Rome, & the Romish church, which also they assail, & burn with the fire of Gods word. Therefore all the glory, dignity and wealth of the Pope & popery hath perished & perisheth daily in the godly. Al that be godly wise hate Rome & romish wares. Al cry out, that this Sodom is worthy to be burnt with fire falling ⟨p. 531⟩from heaven. Neither is there any doubt, but that a grievous vengeance is prepared against her.

¹And like as in the storie of the gospel the lord intermireth a prophecie of the destruction of Ierusalem, and of thende of the world, that euery mā might, of this that he seeth the citie of Hierusalē, right so as the lord had prophecied, to haue perished, nother that one stone hath remayned vpon an other, gather by like trouth & certentie that this world shal fall: So maye we of this that we see tholde citie of Rome fallen, & so great an Empire, which was thought shuld haue lasted for euer, brought to naught, gather also that new Rome with her shaddowe or image of thempire, shal as sure as daye fall, & be brought to naught. And firste in dede the Saracenes & Turkes, whiche ruled, and yet raigne in the prouinces subiecte to the Romane Empire, as in Asia, Grece, Aegypte, Affricke, Slauonie, and base Hungarie, and therfore be rightly accompted emonges the ten hornes, doe hate worse than dogge or snake both Poperie it selfe, and Rome, and all that Imagerie Empire. Yea & stories also testifie, that they haue oft times made inuasions, and spoyled Rome it selfe. What is done at this daye, experience it self teacheth. But whether the Turke, or the christen Princes themselues, conuerted to Christ by the Gospel, shall spoyle this newe Rome, destroye it vtterly and burne it with fire, the Lord knoweth, who semeth here to intimate some suche thing hereof. This is certayne, that Christ alone with his hand shal bring downe Antichrist, and abolish him with his comming. Certaine it is, that the Earth, and al the workes that be therin shal be brēt. For thus is thapostolical doctrine: and that al these things shal be in thende of the world. Reade Paule .2. to the Thess. the .2. And Peter the .2. Epistle the .3. chap. Morouer there arrise in sondry kingdomes of the world learned men, which ones being bounden to the See of Rome, haue defended her & her stinking idolle: but after cōuerted to Christ, beginne to hate both Rome, & the Romish churche, which also they assaile, & burne with the fire of Gods word. Therfore al the glorie, dignitie and welth of the Pope & poperie hath perished & perisheth daily in the godly. Al that be godly wise hate Rome & romish wares. Al crie out, that this Sodome is worthie to be brente with fire fallyng
