To take beginning out of the tempestuous and troublesome estate of the Nations; out of which, (as it were out of a Sea) did spring at the first the Roman Empire, which stories proue, to haue grown from the diuisions of kingdomes. Reuel. 13, 1. I saw

Note, that out of the sea of corrupt Doctrine, and the Cleargy which at that time taught it, did spring the other beast, the Romish Bishop and his Hierarchie, which for cru∣elty and violence, is likened to a Beast, as the Ro∣maine Heathenish Empire, for like respect, is com∣pared to a beast.
