- 7The other part of this Ch. concerning the particular calling of S. John to the receiving of the prophesie following: which is enjoined him, first by sign in three verses; then in plain words, in the last verse. Unto the setting forth of the sign belong these things: That S. John is taught from heaven, to demand the book of prophesie, in this verse: for these motions and desires God doth inspire: that demanding the book, he is charged to take it in a figurative manner, the use whereof also is expounded, verse 9. (as Ezech 2. vers. 9.) whence this similitude is borrowed: lastly, for that S. John at the commandment of Christ took the book; and found by experience that the same as proceeding from Christ was most sweet; but in that it foretelleth the afflictions of the church, it was most bitter unto his spirit.The other part of this Ch. concerning the particular calling of S.
