- 2Now followeth the third branch of the common history, as even now I said: which is the execution of the judgements of God upon the world. This is first generally prepared, unto the sixth verse; then by several parts expounded according to the order of those that administered the same, unto the end of the Chapter following. Unto the preparation of this execution are declared these things: first who were the administers and instruments thereof, in this verse; secondly, what is the work both of the Prince of Angels giving order for this execution, thence unto the 5. verse, and of his administers, in the sixth verse. The administers of the execution are said to be seven Angels: their instruments, trumpets, whereby they should as it were sound the al'arme at the commandment of God. They are propunded seven in number, because it pleased not God at once to powre out his wrath upon the rebellious world, but at diverse times, and by piece meal, and in slow order, and as with an unwilling mind to exercise his judgements upon his creatures, so long called upon both by word and signs, if happily they had learned to repent.Now followeth the third braunch of the common historie, as euen now I sayd: which is the execution of the iudgements of God vpon the world. This is first generallie prepared, vnto the sixt verse; then by seuerall partes expounded according to the order of those that administred the same, vnto the end of the Chapter following. Vnto the preparation of this execution are declared these things: first who were the administers and instrumentes thereof, in this verse; secondly, what is the worke both of the Prince of Angels giuing order for this execution, thence vnto the 5. verse, and of his administers, in the sixt verse. The administers of the execution are sayd to be seuen Angels: their instruments, trumpets, whereby they should as it were sound the al'arme at the commaundement of God. They are propunded seuen in number, because it pleased not God at once to powre out his wrath vpon the rebellious world, but at diuerse times, and by peece meale, and in slow order, and as with an vnwilling mind to exercise his iudgementes vpon his creatures, so long called vpon both by word and signes, if happily they had learned to repent.
