I Have chosen a member of the Epistle appointed by our Church to be read in the celebration of this Feast to the most Sacred Trinity. There is One sitting on the Throne, which is God the Father: on his right hand the Lamb which was slain, only worthy to unseal the Book, which is God the Son: and seven Lamps of fire burning before the Throne, the seven-fold Spirit, which is God the Holy Ghost. Unus potentialiter, trinus personaliter. Which blessed Trinity in Unity, and Unity in Trinity inspire me to speak, and you to hear. Amen. Before the Throne &c.

The Revelation is a book of great depth; containing tot Sa•menta, quot verba; as many wonders 1as words, mysteries as sentences. There are other books of the Gospel; but Bullinger calls this Librum evangelicissimum, the most Gospel-like 2book, a book of most happy consolation: delivering those eventual comforts, which shall successively and successfully, accompany the Church unto the end of the world. It presents, as in a perspective glass, the lamb of God guarding, and regarding his Saints: & giving them triumphant victory over all his and their enemies. The writings of S. John, as I have read it observed, are of three sorts. He teacheth in his Gospel especially Faith; in his Epistles love; hope in his Revelation.
