First, Antichrist is here called a man, (as I conjecture) to imply the manner of his invading the Church, which is by subtlety and Policy. That whereas other persecutors have bin compared to Beasts, because they assaulted the Church with a brutish violence: Antichrist is termed a man, to shew that hee fighteth not onely with the horne of a Beast, Hostility: but also with the tongue of a Man, Subtlety. Both Os gladij, and gladius or is: both the sword, and the word also, shall be his instruments to cut downe true Professors. |
