We need not seek out here any far fetched interpretations. For in plain terms he admonisheth those which should be gathered into the Church, that round about them, they shall behold the fearful vengeance of God. His meaning is not that these calamities shall break in among•• the troop of the faithful; for it should much lessen the felicity of the Church▪ upon which God manifests all sorts of testimonies of joy and gladness. But, as formerly he hath spoken of that perpetual glory wherewith God will beautify his chosen; so now he shows what punishments the wicked shall endure, that the faithful might be the more careful to hold themselves in the fear of God.
