Finally the Lord addeth also certain things of the miseries of the Antichristians,1 wherewith the righteous Lord beginneth to punish them, & to interrupt their wicked joys, that at the last in an other world he may put the same to torments, that never shall have end. In that same hour, sayeth he, the same time doubtless wherein they shall afflict the prophets, ⟨p. 334⟩shall be made a great Earthquake, & the tenth part of the city shall fall. And the tenth part we understand to be great, yet so, that the more part shall remain in error. As S. Peter prophesied should come to pass, in the .2. of Peter the .2. And the Lord him self also in the .7. of Matth. And he seemeth to recite two evils, which hang over them, calamities, and revoltinges. For S. John him self seemeth to add an exposition, and to say: and there were slain in the Earthquake the names of seven thousand men. And the residue were affrayed, and gave glory to God of Heaven.
