John Trapp on Revelation 13:2

Verſe 2. Like unto a leopard] Which is the female among the panthers the property wherof is, as Pliny telleth us, with her ſweet ſmell to allure the beaſts unto her, hiding her terrible head till ſhe hath them within her reach, and then teareth them in pieces, Juſt ſo dealeth Rome with her unhappy proſelytes. The Papacy is an alluring, tempting, bewitching Religion. No ſin paſt, but the Pope can pardon it: none to come, but he can diſpenſe with it, Etiamſi per impoſſibile, matrem Dei quis vitiaſſet, ſaid Tecelius.

As the feet of a Bear] Which ſtands firm on her hinder feet, and fights with her fore-feet: ſo doth the Papacy with its Canons, Decrees, traditions, &c.

As the mouth of a lion] Wide, ravenous, roaring, and [illegible: 2 letters]ſatiable.

And the Dragon gave him his power] This bargain was offered to Chriſt, Mat. 4. but he would none of it. The bramble in Jothams parable thought it a goodly thing to raign: So did not the vine and fig-tree.
