4. Our Judge hath very many crowns upon his head: for he alone governeth all realms & nations. As also Daniel hath signified in the .7. chapt. He alone might truly be called Affricanus, Europeus, and Asiaticus, Parthicus, Persicus, Germanicus, Gotthicus, and others. Which our kings have full fondly challenged to themselves, affectatyng so the Monarchy, where Christ alone is the true Monarch for ever. This judge & mighty Prince shall strike of the triple crown from the head of the Bishop of Rome. More, there shall be none so mighty a king in the whole world, that shall be able to resist him, and make war against him.
4. Our Iudge hath very many crownes vpon his head: for he alone gouerneth al realmes & nations. As also Daniel hath signified in the .7. chapt. He alone might trewely be called Affricanus, Europeus, and Asiaticus, Parthicus, Persicus, Germanicus, Gotthicus, and others. Whiche our kinges haue ful fondely chalenged to themselues, affectatyng so the Monarchie, where Christe alone is the true Monarke for euer. This iudge & mightie Prince shal strike of the triple crowne from the head of the Bisshop of Rome. More, there shall be none so mightie a king in the whole worlde, that shal be able to resiste him, and make warre agaynst him.
15. Our judge hath a name written, which no man knoweth save he himself. This shall be more plainly opened anon. Christ hath a name unspeakable, for he is the true God, eternal, incomprehensible and Almighty. This name knoweth no man but him self. For first the Majesty of God is greater, than that it may be comprehended of any creature: again the name of God is agreeable to no man, but to him alone: for the name of God, in this signification, may not be communicated. For he is very god, & besides him none: which ⟨p. 579⟩thing Isaiah repeateth oft. He is the Saviour, King, Monarch, and Judge: which things all belong properly to him alone, and are not common to others. Moreover the Lord himself sayeth in the gospel: no man hath known the son but the father: neither hath any man known the father, save the son, and to whom the son hath pleased to reveal. Besides this, we see here unperfectly: and the glory of the divine majesty is so great, as even now I said, that mans capacity is unable to conceive such a glory. No man therefore save God alone knoweth his name.
