Revelation 13:11 Revelation 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. The same Roman papal kingdom, is here said to be another beast because he is otherwise described: that beast rose out of the sea, and this beast came up out of the earth. But as in \ Daniel in his vision, saw four beasts come up from the sea, \ the same shall arise out of the earth. So here \ is the same beast. And he had two horns like a Lamb. This seemeth to be another difference, not real, but in shew; another shape, form, and representation, but yet he was the same beast, though of another head, the beast of the eighth head, with two horns; yet of the seventh head with ten horns. And he spake as a dragon his speech betrayeth him to be a devouring beast, and not a Lamb. For though he pretends to be for Christ, the Lamb of God, (as his vicar general,) both in respect of his political and ecclesiastical power, which is his two horns; yet he exerciseth both for the dragon, that old serpent called the devil and Satan. \
