For he pays as +little heed as the Turk to the Gospel, or Christian faith, and knows it as +little, though with fasts, which he himself does not keep, he makes a great +pretense of Turkish sanctity; thus they deserve the reputation of being like +the Turk, though they are against Christ. <p></p></span></p> + +<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0cm;margin-right:1.0cm;margin-bottom:0cm; +margin-left:1.0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;tab-stops:48.2pt"><span style="color:#990000;mso-ansi-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Against +the papacy, however, because of its errors and wicked ways, the first man, Sir +Christian, has been aroused, and he attacks it boldly with prayer and the Word +of God; and he has wounded it, too, so that they feel it and rage.

For the +world has come to its end; the Roman Empire is almost gone and torn to bits; it +stands as the kingdom of the Jews stood when Christ’s birth was near; the Jews +had scarcely anything of their kingdom, Herod was the token of farewell. And +so, I think, now that the Roman Empire is almost gone, Christ’s coming is at +the door, and the Turk is the Empire’s token of farewell, a parting gift to the +Roman Empire; and just as Herod and the Jews hated each other, though both made +common cause against Christ, so Turk and papacy hate each other, but make +common cause against Christ and His kingdom. <p></p></span></p> + +<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0cm;margin-right:1.0cm;margin-bottom:0cm; +margin-left:1.0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;tab-stops:48.2pt"><span style="color:#990000;mso-ansi-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-tab-count:1"> </span>Nevertheless, +what the emperor can do for his subjects against the <span class="GramE">Turk, +that</span> he should do, so that even though he cannot entirely prevent the +abomination, he may yet try to protect and rescue his subjects by checking the +Turk and holding him off. To this protection the emperor should be moved not +only by his bounden duty, his office, and the command of God, nor only by the +unchristian and vile government that the Turk brings in, as has been said +above, but also by the misery and wretchedness that comes to his subjects.
