But seeing the Scriptures do pronounce, only of the godly, that they shall be caught up into the clouds, and shall meet Christ in the air: we believe, that the ungodly shall not come up unto Christ, but remaining under his feet upon the earth, shall hear that sentence of the judge, go ye cursed into everlasting fire, when all the Saints, which shall be aloft with Christ, shall approve the same sentence of the ⟨p. 266⟩judge: according as the Apostle thinketh, ¹The Saints shall judge the world, yea and the Angels.

But seing the Scriptures do pronounce, only of the godlie, that they shall bee caught vpp into the cloudes, and shall meete Christ in the ayre: wee beleeue, that the vngodlie shall not come vp vnto Christ, but remaining vnder his feete vppon the earth, shall heare that sentēce of the iudge, goe yee cursed into euerlasting fire, when all the Saints, which shal bee aloft with Christ, shall approue the same sentence of the ⟨p. 266⟩iudge: according as the Apostle thinketh, ¹The Saints shall iudge the world, yea and the Angells.
