Bibliotheca Spenceriana; or, A descriptive catalogue of the ..library of George John, earl Spencer . icial andinaccurate reference to Pits. XXXll WORKS EXECUTED IN ^Antichrist. top of the recto of the first leaf, with a cut of Jacob on his death bed,addressing his children Jacob sag seineinsun Dan Was im Kinstig, & Seeking in Marriage of Antichrist is wanting. The cut below,of the Conception of Antichrist, is, in this copy, torn away. The re-maining cuts are, with the exception of the last five, divided into twocompartments, and are all uniformly printed on the rectos of the severalleaves. The second cut, of the Birth of Antichrist, and of the death ofhis mother during parturition, is a very extraordinary one. Heineckenhas correctly described the ensuing 42 cuts, and has given fac-simUes,but very imperfectly, upon a small scale, of the 7th and 8th cuts. The top of the 36th cut is translated below. * The following is afac-simile of part of it, shewing Antichrist and his attendant spirit;which latter, in some shape or other, of diminutive size, is usuallymade to accompany * Antichrist hateth the Prophets. Elias and Enoch are put to death at Jerusalem,and lie there three days and a half unburied, because no one would buiy them.* ? f \ .? K/ » n ?:?
