12 Mulier amicta Sole.

NO place in all the scripture doth more plainely set forth the estate of our Church than this 12. of the Apocalyps. She is clothed with the sunne of righte∣ousnesse Iesus Christ, which is her bewtie. She trea∣deth vnder her feete, the Moone of mutabilitie, changea∣blenesse, and inconstancie, she is crowned with 12. starres, which is the doctrine of the 12. Apostles, the worde of God. She is alwaies fruitefull, and persecuted by the deuill and his members, but yet by Christ defended, protected, and proui∣ded for in all daungers and aduersities. But the church of Rome, is that whore of Babylon clothed in purple and scar∣let, golde, precious stones, and perles, described Apoc. 17. sitting vpon the beast with seuen heades, which are the se∣uen hilles, and is the great cytie that had dominion ouer the kinges of the earth.
