To the Locusts moreover are ascribed wings.1 For they are exalted above the common state of men, whilst they are taken and accounted for the most fortunate and most excellent in the world, &c. Yea and impudently they brag, that herein they are worthier and greater than the Virgin Mary, for that she bare ones in her womb the Son of God, but they can call him daily unto the Altar? &c. And whilst they fly, they make such an noise, as horses do, ⟨p. 264⟩drawing warlike chariots,2 and now ready to invade the ranks of enemies: that is to say, all their doings are most vehement, most warlike, to men horrible, and deadly. Hereunto appertain the clamorous disputations of Sorbonne and other schools, excommunications, sentences given at Rome, the popes bulls and writings, the boastings of decrees, and they be in obstinacy invincible. All these things make a noise together, and thunder terribly.
