John Trapp on Revelation 13:11

Verſe 11. And I beheld another beaſt] Another in ſhape, but the ſame in ſubſtance with the former. For here Chriſt appears not as an Emperour, but as an Impoſtour. That theſe two are both one, ſee Rev. 17.11. & 19.20,

Coming up out of the earth] Set up by earthly men and earthly means:Ioh. 8.23. of baſe beginning; Gigas quaſi [non-Latin text not transcribed] Ego ſupernas, v[illegible: 1 letter]s infernates eſtis, ſaith our Saviour to the Jews. I am from above, ye are from beneath: ye are earth-ſprung, as ſo many muſhromes.

And he had two horns] Two horns in his mitre, two keys in his hand, two ſwords borne before him, a two-fold pretended power, ſecular and ſacred, as King and Prieſt, in the Lambs ſtead, whoſe Ape he is.

Spake as a dragon] That is, ſaith one, he uſed an abſolute command over conſciences,Dioda[illegible: 1 letter]. raiſed himſelf through devilliſh pride and execrable boaſting, Rev. 18.7.
