Wherefore the same Angel crieth with all his force,1 and that with a great voice. For it behoveth these oracles of God, wherein is treated of the glory of God, and salvation of souls, be preached with loud voices, how so ever the world prohibiteth and persecuteth the same. And let them observe those things which think that men may be restrained by proclamations, fire and sword, that they shall not with voice most clear preach against Antichrist. The fools are deceived. They hove fought and contended herein these six hundred years and more, neither could any man though he raged never so fiercely, bring this preaching a sleep. It breaketh out many times, and pierceth far even at this day also through out the whole world: therefore the glory of this Angel is yet, & ever shall be shining and bright, and his voice and preaching most strong, though the Popes guts burst.
