- 2This whole book is concluded & made up, by a confirmation, and a salutation. The confirmation hath 3 places; The words of the Angel unto the 15. verse; the words of Christ verse 16. 17 and the obtestation made by Saint John from druine authority, thence unto the twentieth verse. By the speech of the Angel this prophecy is con firmed, unto the eight verse: and then he speaketh of the use of this book, in the verses following. The prophecie is first confirmed by the Angel from the nature thereof, that it is faithful and true: Secondly from the nature of the efficient cause, both principal which is God, and instrumental, which is the Angel in this verse. Thirdly, from the promises of God concerning his coming to effect all these things, and concerning our salvation, verse 7. Fourthly from the testification of Saint John himself, verse 8.
