1Then I saw another Angel fly in the middest of heaven, having an everlasting Gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and ⟨p. 271⟩to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people. Saying with a loud voice, Fear God,2 and give glory to him: for the hour of his judgement is come, and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

Hitherto the holy Ghost hath taught us how the Church was preserved under the tyranny of Antichrist, and greatest waves of persecutions, and that even then they did purely and faithfully worship the true God. Now he proceedeth to foreshow the ruin and downfall of Antichrist, and plainly to prophesy the utter decay of the kingdom of Babel. This doctrine therefore we are to hearken unto with great attention and cheerfulness, because it doth so much concern our good, and the good of the whole Church; also because we live in the days wherein we see it is in part fulfilled.
