christ, and that they will all become
slaves If they do not trample down
this conquering one.
"The Antichrist will be recognized
by several marks; he will chiefly mas
sacre priests, monks, women, children
and old people. He will show no mer-
cy; he will pass along holding torch
like the barbarians, but invoking the
name of Christ.
"His false words will resemble
those of Christians, but his acts will
be those of Nero and the Roman per-
secutors; there will be an eagle in his
coat of arms, and there will also be
one in that of his confederate, the
other wicked monarch.
"But this one is Christian and he
will die cursed by the Pope Benedict
us, who will be elected at the begin
ming of the reign of the Antichrist.
priests and monks will no longer
be seen confessing and absolving the
combatants, because for the first time
priests and monks will fight with the
other citizens, and also because Pope
Benedictus having cursed the Anti
christ it will be proclaimed that all
those that wage war against him will
be in state of grace, and should they
die will, like martyrs, go straight to
heaven.
"The Pope's bull proclaiming these
things will make a great sensation,
and will cause the death of the mon
arch, the Antichrists ally.

Leopard, and the White Eagle would
not suffice to overcome the Black Ea-
gle if they were not helped by the
prayers and devotion of all the human
race.
"Never before has humanity been in
such peril, for the triumph of the
Antichrist would be that of demon
in whom he is incarnated.
"For it has been said that twenty
centuries after the Incarnation of the
World, the Beast, in his turn, would
be incarnated and would threaten the
earth with as many evils as the Di-
vine Incarnation had brought it grac-
es.
Near the year 1000 the Antichrist
will appear; his army will surpass in
numbers anything heretofore mag
ined; there will be Christians among
his hordes and among the defenders
of the Lamb there will be Mahomme-
dams and savage tribes.
"For the first time the Lamb will
be entirely red; in the whole of the
Christian world there will not be
space that will not be red; and the
heavens, the earth, and even the ain
will be red, for blood will flow in the
sphere of the four elements at the
same time.

upon the Cock, which will lose many
of its feathers, but will strike hero.
