Antichrist.

Here the Antichrist sits in the temple of God and shows himself as God, as Paul proclaims, 2 Thess. 2, 4., changes all divine order, as Daniel [Cap. 11, 36. ff.] says, and suppresses the holy scriptures, sells dispensation, indulgence, pallia, bishopric, fiefdom, raises the treasures of the earth, dissolves marriage, weighs down the consciences with his laws, makes law, lind for money he tears it apart. He raises saints, benedeiet and maledeiet to the fourth generation, and gives to hear his voice, like God's voice, c. Sic omnis. Dist. 19. (I, 56), and no one shall persuade him. 17. q. 4. c. Nemini. (I, 716.)
