In this historie there are three branches: a preparation by the sound of the Angels trumpet: a narration by the voyces of heauenly Angels & Elders: and a confirmation by signe.
- 28The narration hath 2. parts; an acclamation of the heavenly creatures, in this vers. and, both an adoration by all the Elders, vers. 16. & also a most ample thanks giving, ver. 17. 18. The sense of the acclamation is, Now the Lord is entered on his kingdom, & hath restored his Church, in which most mightily recovered from the profanation of the Gentiles, he may glorify him self. Namely, that, which the Lord ordained when first he ordained his Church, that the faith of the Saints doth now behold as accomplished.
