1First the Lord threateneth Jezebel her self, that he will cast her into a bed. He speaketh of the first authors of the evil and of the heresy, upon whom he menaceth to send a sickness. For the bed in many times in the scripture taken for the very diseases wherewith they be vexed that lie in bed. And we Germans say, that he is taken with a most grievous and deadly disease. And the Lord plagueth the archheretics with sickness of body & soul. In the mean season also he weakeneth the force of the error, to the intent it might by little & little vanish away.

1Secondly he threateneth great affliction to such as have to do with Jezebel: that is to say, to such as cleave unto false doctrine, receive errors, delight in heresies, and go about to set forth the same. To these, I say, he threateneth most grievous afflictions, to wit of body and soul, of this present and of the life to come. He seemeth to have said somewhat more, than if he had recited certain kinds of punishment.
