Now followeth the matter which is the fourth argument of the description of this revelation, uz.

First, the matter is things to come, which must be done: so speaks the holy Ghost in many places of the word. As Christ saith, showing the necessity: Offences must come: so Paul saith: ⟨p. 9⟩There must be heresies. Act. 14. We must, through many tribulations enter into heaven, &c. So to Timothy: they which be godly must suffer afflictions. Showing in all these places, that things which are to come, must necessarily come to pass.
