Apoc. 12. 4.

The text.

And his taile drew the third part of the stars of heauen, and cast them to the earth.

The note.

The spirits that fall from their first state, into apostasie with him and by his meanes.

The answer.

The taile of the dragon be hypocriticall false prophets. As dra∣gons and serpents carie their venim, that they sting and poison withall in their tailes: so the diuell seduceth and beguileth by his false lieng prophets. The stars of heauen cast downe to the earth, are the most noble and notable men that séeme far to ex∣cell all others, brought to be altogither earthly minded, and to re∣fuse celestiall things.
