    II. Trapp-Reformation Wound of Beast Healed by Jesuits

    JOHN TRAPP (1601-1669), vicar of Weston-on-Avon, in his commentary on the epistles and the Revelation of John, gives as one interpretation of the wounding of the papal “Beast” of Revelation 13 “the falling away of Protestants from the Pope-dome, from the daies of Wicliffe, John Husse, the Waldenses, Luther, to this present.” But the healing, he notes, is under way by the Sorbonists, Jesuits, and the “Trent-fathers. 2John Trapp, A Commentary or Exposition Upon All the Epistles and the Revelation of John the Divine, p. 543. Hie two-horned beast is the Roman clergy, and the call out of papal Babylon has resulted in multiplied thousands coming out of Catholicism. 3Ibid., p. 569. But, like all early Reformation predecessors, Trapp still holds that Satan was bound by the chain of a “succession of Christian Emperours” for a thousand years, from Constantine to Boniface VIII, when persecution began to wane, with the “first resurrection” as the awakening from “Romish superstitions. 4Ibid., pp. 583-585.PFF2 560.1
