In this commandment of Christ is a plain division of this whole book, Write the things thou hast seen: that is, this vision I have offered to thee, & the things thou sawest. In the second place he sets down the present estate of the church. Thirdly the things to come, that is, the future estate of the church to the end of the world. So that this book containeth two things in it, first, the estate of the church in time present, secondly, in time to come to the end of the world: the words of Christ make this division plainly.

If it be lawful to use divisions,1 then it is lawful to set down rules for direction of dividing aright: but the first is lawful, ergo the second. Therefore the art of reasoning and dividing, as also Rhetoric is not unlawful, as some would have it.
