For my own part, I purpose not to plunge to the depth with the Elephant; but to wade with the ⟨p. 3⟩lamb in the shallows: not to be over-venturous in the Apocalypse, as if I could reveal the Revelation: but briefly to report what expositions others have given of this branch: and then gather some fruit from it, for our own instruction and comfort. Being bold to say with S. Agustin, whosoever hears me, ubi pariter certus est, pergat mecum; ubi pariter 1hasitat, quarat mecum; ubi errorem suum cognoscit, redeat ad me: ubi meum, revocet me. If he be certain with me, let him go on with me: if he doubt with me, let him seek with me: if he find out his own error, let him come unto me: if mine, let him recall me.

With purpose of avoiding prolixity, I have limited my self to this member of the 6. ver. And before the Throne there was a sea of glass like unto Crystal. I find hereof seven several expositions. I will lightly touch them, and present them only to your view; then build upon the soundest.
