The Censure that Saint Hierome passeth on this Book of the Revelation, Tot Sacramenta quot Ver••, so many Words so many Mysteries, ⟨p. 34⟩hath often run in my mind, and made me even fearful to pronounce concerning the divers Visions in it, and even loath to meddle with it; Neither have I to my best remembrance, above twice in my whole life chosen any Text out of it to declare out of this place, which resolution I should still have holden, save that I conceive some extraordinary fitness in this passage for the present occasion of this great meeting: And yet even now I shall treat of such a part, as is none of the hardest to be understood; so as with out launching into any deep and subtle Disputations, we may keep us by the shore side. And if you will be pleased to favour my endeavour: with your religious Attention, and the weakness of my voice with your silence, I will hold as straight a course as I can, and without further ⟨p. 35⟩preamble come to the matter it self of this Text.
