1 The heavenly company praise God, for avenging the blood of his servants, on the whore. 9 They are written blessed, that are called to the Lambs supper. 10 The Angel will not be worshipped. 11 That mighty King of kings appeareth from heaven. 19 The battle, 20 wherein the beast is taken, 21 and cast into the burning lake.

- 1This chapter hath in sum two parts: one transitory or of passage unto the things that follow, unto the tenth verse: an other historical of the victory of Christ gotten against both the beasts, unto the end of the chapter: which I said was the second history of this argument chapter 17. 1. The transition hath two places; one of praising God for the overthrow done unto Babylon in four verses: and another likewise of praise, and prophetical, for the coming of Christ into his kingdom, and his most royal marriage with his Church, thence unto the 10. vers. The former praise hath three branches, distinguished after the ancient manner of those that sing: [Greek or Hebrew], that is, an invitation or provokement in two verses: [Greek or Hebrew] a response or answer, in the third verse: and [Greek or Hebrew] a close or joining together in harmony: all which I thought good of purpose to distinguish in this place, least any man should with Porphyrius, or other like dogs object unto S. John or the heavenly Church, a childish and idle repetition of speech.
