1The most holy and wise Prophet of God Daniel seemeth to have foreseen and prophesied all those things, as he did all the rest concerning Antichrist, which after he had spoken at large of the power of Antichrist, & worshipping of the God Mayzim against the Apostles institution, he adjoineth in the 11. chapt. And in the time of the end, to wit the end of the world and last judgement approaching, shall set upon him, namely upon Antichrist, the king of the South, and the king of the North shall fall upon him like a whirlwind, with chariots and horsemen, with a strong and great Navy, and ⟨p. 617⟩shall invade his realms, he shall overflow with armies, to wit innumerable, and he shall pass through, that is to say, he shall overcome all like a conqueror doing what he list. For we have perceived, that the armies sent into the East by the counsels, and motion of the Bishop of Rome have molested by Sea and land the turks and also the Soldan of Babylon & Egypt. What will ye say that Daniel pointing as it were with his finger the war called holy, addeth? He shall come also into the chosen land, and invade the land of desire: namely Jewry, which some time was called the chosen, delectable, and pleasant land. And many shall fall, in the war verily, that shall be made for the recovering of the holy land. It followeth in Daniel, these shall be delivered out of his hand, Edom and Moab, & the Princes of the children of Ammon. For those nations are not red to have ben so destroyed as the rest were, by the Saracens, and after by the Turks, for that they framed themselves to them in time. Daniel annexeth, and he shall lay his hands upon realms, neither shall the land of Egypt escape. For it is evident, that the same also was possessed of the Soldans princes of Babylon, and of the emperors of Turks. It followeth, and he shall have the rule of the treasures of gold and silver and all the precious things of the Egyptians. By the which the prophet hath signified the inestimable treasures and richesse, and excellent majesty of the Soldans, and Turkish Emperors. All the which things, even so as the Prophet hath said, experience proveth to have ben, and as yet to be fulfilled. The Prophet addeth, finally the Libyans and Ethiopians shall be in his journeys. Which the old translator hath turned. He shall pass also through Libya and Ethiopia:
