John Trapp on Matthew 24:26

Verse 26. Behold, He is in the desert] In such an ermitage, or blinde chappel, built in a by-place to the honour of such a Saint, as our Lady of Loretto, Hall, or Sichem (Lipsius his last dotages) [non-Latin text not transcribed] Behold [illegible: 1 word] is in the secret chambers or conclaves (scil. of Cardinals, &c.) or cupboards, as the breaden-god born up and down in a box, or on an altar, and worshipped by the common people. The rebels of Norfolk in Edw. 6. time, brought with them into the battle the Pyx under his Canopy, as the Israelites brought the Ark, 1 Sam. 4. 3. and said it should save them. But as then the Ark, so now the consecrated God, with all the trumpery about him, was taken in a Cart, which was then in stead of an altar, and Act. and Mon. fol. 1190 there lay all in the dust. Believe them not therefore in any of these their fopperies and forgeries. The simple believeth Fatuus [non-Latin text not transcribed] [illegible: 1 word]. Lips. every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his goings. He is a slave to good reason, but not easily swaied by every newProv. 14. 15. opinion.
