1For we profess in our belief, suffered under Ponce pilate, was crucified, dead and buried. The prophets told expressly before that he should suffer and die, that he hath suffered and died the Apostles have witnessed, of whom S. John beheld the death and passion of Christ on the cross. Neither read we that the Lord was ever so much offended with his disciples, as he was with Peter going about to dissuade the passion as unworthy the son of God. For he said, go behind Satan: thou favourest not those things which are of God, but which are of men. Therefore should they not have renewed the error and madness confuted. He seemeth to reason probably, that God might have redeemed the world by an other mean, than by the incarnation or passion of the son of God: to be an unworthy thing, that we should believe ⟨p. 269⟩the son of God to have ben beaten with the hands of the wicked, and moreover slain. But this probablenes is of unclean flesh, not of God, yea it is of Satan him self. Yet hath this absurd & most wicked opinion found not a few followers. For the heresy of the Jacobites contained in the Alcoran, is spread abroad far and near over all the East country. Whereof it is plain, that the golden Altar was of them most filthily polluted: and the merit of Christs passion denied, the dignity and majesty of the priesthood and sacrifice of Christ trodden under foot. There were besides these other most corrupt opinions in the West, &c. Which thing worthily kindled the just wrath of God. For of his just judgement he permitted Mahomet to make new laws, and to spread abroad the Jacobisme far & near through out the world. For they that will not hear christ worthily hear Antichrist: which thing the Apostle hath also in the .1. chapt. to the Romans, and .2. Thessa. 2. chapt. affirmed. Therefore is heard from the Altar a voice of him that sate on the right hand, and commanded to loose the four Angels bounden in the river of Euphrates, that is to wit to bring forth into the world destroyers, which may over run a great part of the world.
1For we professe in our belefe, suffered vnder Ponce pilate, was crucified, dead and buried. The prophetes tolde expressely before that he should suffer and die, that he hath suffered and died the Apostles haue witnessed, of whom S. Iohn behelde the death and passion of Christ on the crosse. Nother reade we that the Lorde was euer so much offended with his disciples, as he was with Peter goyng about to diswade the passion as vnworthie the sonne of God. For he sayed, goe behinde Sathan: thou fauourest not those thinges which are of God, but which are of mē. Therfore should they not haue renewed the errour and madnes confuted. He semeth to reason probably, that God might haue redemed the worlde by an other meane, than by the incarnation or passion of the sonne of God: to be an vnworthie thing, that we should beleue
