Matthew Poole and continuators on Revelation 13:16

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads :

No particular Character is here to be understood, but only the general imposition of the Romish Faith upon all sorts of persons. His mark was nothing else but either the Profession of his Faith and Religion, or a vowed subjection to his commands, which we know is the practice of the Papacy where it obtaineth in any Country.
