But (may be) I prevent you expectation, if here be a Judge where is the guard? behold him coming from above with great power and glory: would you know this habit? he is clothed with Majesty: seek you the colour; 'tis the brightness of his Father: would you view his attendants? they are an host of Angels: look you for the guard? they are a troop of shining Cherubims: nay, yet see a longer train, a further company, the souls of Saints descend from their imperial seats, and attend the Lamb with great glory, and glorious majesty: never was any Judge Lord of such a circuit: his footstool are the Clouds, his seat the Rain-bow, his justices Saints, his officers Angels, and the Arch-Angels Trump proclaims a silence, whilst a just sentence comes from his mouth on all the world.
