pointed Christ over all things, to be the head of the church." What is he then which saith, "I am the head of the church?" which saith, "All the churches of God are knit in me; you must understand as I understand; you must hear with mine ears, and see with mine eyes; I will govern and direct you?" He is contrary to Christ: this is Antichrist.

Christ ordained that the communion should be ministered under both kinds. (Matt. xxvi.) What is he, then, that delivereth it to the people but under one kind? He is contrary to Christ: he breaketh the first institution of the Lord's supper: he is Antichrist.

Christ saith, (John xviii.) "My kingdom is not of this world." What is he then, which saith, "I am Lord of lords, and King of kings; I have right to both swords; my power and authority reacheth over all the kingdoms of the world?" He is contrary to Christ, he is Antichrist. Christ washed his disciples' feet, (John xiii.) What is he then, that giveth his feet to be kissed of kings and emperors? He is contrary to Christ, he is Antichrist. Christ paid tribute to Cæsar, (Matt. xvii.) What is he then, that exempteth himself and his clergy from the temporal sword and authority? He is contrary to Christ: he is Antichrist.

Christ allowed marriages, and reproved fornication. What is he then that alloweth fornication, and forbiddeth marriage? He is contrary to Christ, he is Antichrist. Christ

saith (John v.) "Search the Scriptures." What is he then which saith. "Give not that which is holy to dogs, neither cast pearls before swine; ye may not search the Scriptures? He is contrary to Christ: he is Antichrist. These be the certain and undoubted marks of Antichrist."-JEWEL on Thess. apud.-Richmond's Fathers of the Christian Church. Vol. vii. pp. 319–322.
