Their faces were as the faces of men,1 not as the faces of Locusts. So likewise in Daniel to Antichrist are attributed the eyes of a man. To wit industry and policy. These men pretend a great humanity, they be furnished with fair speech, ⟨p. 262⟩you would think if humanity were loft, it mighty be found in them: but they feign these things, to the intent that in creeping thus into mens bosoms, they may bring their matters to pass, and deceive. In crafts, deceit, wiliness and practise, as they term it, the Popes Legates, Ambassadors, Priests, and Religious persons, excel all other wise men of the world. They press into all assemblies of all men, they will be made privy to all things, they take all things for the bringing of their matters to pass, they semble and dissemble all things, they can easily supplant and beguile, even such as be most witty. Moreover they are learned, witty, eloquent, and wonderful crafty in all things. The thing it self speaketh and testifieth, that I write the trueth.

In craftes, disceipte, wilines and practise, as they terme it, the Popes Legates, Ambassadours, Priestes, and Religiouse persones, excell all other wisemen of the worlde. They prease into al assemblees of all menne, they will be made priuie to all thinges, they take all thinges for the bringyng of theyr matters to passe, they semble and dissemble all thinges, they can easely supplant and begyle, euen suche as be moste wittie. Moreouer they are learned, witty, eloquent, and wonderfull craftie in all thinges. The thing it selfe speaketh and testifieth, that I write the trueth.
