Now out of these three verses five things are to be observed:
First, that John is commanded by the voice of Christ, which he heard behind him as loud as a Trumpet, to write and record the visions which he saw, & being so written and recorded, to commend them to all the Churches, for the common benefit and use thereof. So that herein John doth nothing of himself, nothing of his own brain, but all things by special warrant and authority from Jesus Christ, and that Alpha and Omega, ⟨p. 26⟩which doth call him, and authorize him to this great business which now he is set about.
