And when I saw him, 1I fell at his feet as dead. In these seventeenth & eighteenth verses, John proceeds to describe our saviour Christ as God gave him a vision, by other arguments, that is, by his actions. The first action is contained in these seventeenth and 18. verses, which is a confirmation of S. John, being greatly afraid: ⟨p. 108⟩and this confirmation is the whole matter and substance of these two verses. In this note two things: first, the occasion: secondly, the means. The occasion moving Christ to confirm S. John, in the second part of the seventeenth verse: the means, in the end of the seventeenth verse & in the eighteenth. The occasion was an exceeding fear of death, which made John as dead, as appeareth by Christs comforting of him.
