- 1Now followeth the 3. place, of the prophetical history, which is, of the victory whereby Christ overcame the dragon, as I noted chap. 17. 1. This place must necessarily be joined with the end of the 12. chapter, and be applied unto the just understanding thereof. This chapter hath 2. parts: one of the dragon overcome, unto the 10. verse: the other of the resurrection and last judgement, unto the end of the chapter. The story of the dragon is double. First of the first victory, after which he was bound by Christ: unto the 6. verse. The second is of the last victory, whereby he was thrown down into everlasting punishment, thence unto the 10. vers. This first history happened in the first time of the Christian Church, when the dragon thrown down from heaven by Christ, went about to molest the new birth of the Church in the earth. chap. 12. 17. 18. For which cause I gave warning that this story of the dragon, must be annexed unto that place.Now followeth the 3. place, of the propheticall historie, which is, of the victorie wherby Christ ouercame the dragon, as I noted chap. 17. 1.
