And I will give power to my two witnesses, & they shall prophesy a M. cc. and .lx. days clotted in sack cloth. These are two olive trees, & two can delstickes standing before the God of the Earth. And if any man will hurt them, fire shall come forth of their mouth, & devour their enemies And if any man will hurt them, this wise must he be killed, these have power to shut heaven, ⟨p. 312⟩that it reign not in the days of their prophesying: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all manner plagues as often as they will.

These things appertain also to the consolation of the faithful.1 For the lord promiseth that he will send prophets: that is preachers, which shall maintain and defend the verity of the Gospel, and glory of Christ, assail Antichrist, and destroy his kingdom, and advance the salvation of the faithful. In the former chapt. 8. and .9. was described the fight of Antichrist and heretics against God & his Christ, and against his church: & now at few words is set against the same the contrary fight, & the army of Christ is mustered.
These thinges apperteyne also to the consolation of the faithful.1
