LECTURE IIII.
Vers. 10. I was in the spirit on the Lords day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet.
Before John come particularly to the Vision he saw, he insisteth in some particular circumstances, that make way to the more full faith and credit of the Vision and Story that followeth: and though they be only circumstances in themselves; yet they are profitable and conducing to the main end he hath before him. We heard of the first and second circumstance how, and where John was, when he got this Vision.
BEfore Iohn come particularly to the Vision he saw, he insisteth in some particular circumstances, that make way to the more full faith and credite of the Vision and Story that followeth: and though they be only circumstances in themselves; yet they are profitable and conducing to the main end he hath before him. We heard of the first and second circumstance how, and where Iohn was, when he got this Vision.
Followeth in the 10 vers. the third and fourth circumstances, that is, the day when he got this Vision, and the frame he was in, I was in the spirit on the Lords day.
