A commentary or, exposition upon the divine second epistle general, writtenA commentary or, exposition vpon the diuine second epistle generall, written

^qif any sheep die, thou shalt make them up de tuo, of thine own: thou shalt bear the loss of it, of thy hand I will require it. But rather like David, saves his sheep from the Bear and Lion, the world and the devil. As himself when he died, suffered not a bone of his own to be broken, and another put in place: so his subjects shall have no change:^r those thou hast given me, I have kept, and none of them is lost. Here shall be no Interregnum, not Multi Principes; nor is it enough to say, Vivat Rex; but oh king, live for ever Thine is the kingdom, power and glory for ever and ever. A King he is, yet he were ⟨p. 74⟩but a poor king, if he had no subjects: but they shall reign with him a thousand years, Revel. 20.6. that is, for ever. For if every day in heaven be as a thousand years, what is a thousand years of such days but Eternity?

As himselfe when he died, suffered not a bone of his owne to be broken, and another put in place: so his subjects shall have no change:^r those thou hast given mee, I have kept, and none of them is lost. Here shall bee no Interregnum, not Multi Principes; nor is it enough to say, Vivat Rex; but oh king, live for ever Thine is the kingdome, power and glory for ever and ever. A King he is, yet hee were ⟨p. 74⟩but a poore king, if he had no subjects: but they shall reigne with him a thousand yeares, Revel. 20.6. that is, for ever. For if every day in heaven be as a thousand yeares, what is a thousand yeares of such dayes but Eternitie?
