Rev. 5. 9. we read that there was no man in heaven nor in earth that was able to open the book and to loose the seals thereof, only the Lamb that was slain and that hath redeemed us unto God by his blood, he was only worthy to open the seals. It is a fruit I say of the slaughter of Christ & of his blood, and therefore cry to him for the opening these things to thee. And though thou beest very weak in regard of parts, and thinkest with thy self, How can I understand such things as these? know that it is Christ that through his blood comes to open these seals, and seeing it is a fruit of his blood, it is no matter whether thou art weak or strong if he come to open them to thee: as Jer. 13. 2. saith God to the Prophet. Call unto me and I will show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not; so I say to you, be a praying people, call upon God and he will cause you to understand great and excellent things that you have not known.
