Note 266 — Chapter V · SOME FAMOUS SORCERERS AND MAGICIANS
Arthur Edward Waite translation
“We do now securely call the Pope Antichrist, which was formerly a capital offence.... We do hereby condemn the East and the West, meaning the Pope and Mahomet.... He (the Pope) shall be torn in pieces with nails, and a final groan shall end his ass’s braying.... The judgment due to the Roman impostor who now poureth his blasphemies with open mouth against Christ.... The mouth of this viper shall be stopped.” See Confessio Fraternitatis, R.C., 1616.
