By the seven tromps Angelical not only the destinies of the church are showed, but all the godly are also excited to watch, and to keep spiritual war.
By the seuen trompes Angelicall not only the destenies of the church are shewed, but all the godly are also excited to watche, and to kepe spirituall warre.
And to the three last trumpets, as most dangerous, are joined three woes,1 signifying, as I said in the end of the 8. chapt. that all kind of troubles and most grievous afflictions shall chance in these times, whereby men shall be brought in greatest distress. And the first in deed he hath severed from the second and third, by these words: one woe is past, and lo two woes are yet to come after this. Which manner of speech doeth not break of the matters, but frameth the speech in order. For the popish woe ceaseth not, when the Turkish woe cometh on, but afflicteth the churches together. That manner of speaking is given therefore to the order: so now he discerneth the third woe from the second: signifying in deed that Mahometes law shall endure to the last judgement: and yet in the mean time denieth not, but that Papistry shall continue so long also, whereof he hath hitherto in the .11. chapt. discoursed many things, having finished the matters of Mahomet in the .9. chapt. Therefore the sense of the Apostles words seemeth to be this: you have heard of the first and second woe, hear furthermore also of the third and last woe.
And to the three last trompettes, as most daūgerouse, are ioyned three woes,1 signifiyng, as I sayde in the ende of the 8. chapt. that al kinde of troubles and most greuouse afflictions shal chaūce in these times, wherby men shal be brought in greatest distresse. And the first in dede he hath seuered frō the seconde and thirde, by these wordes: one wo is past, and lo two woes are yet to come after this. Whiche maner of speach doeth not breake of the matters, but frameth ye speach in order. For the popish wo ceaseth not, when the Turkisshe wo cometh on, but afflicteth the churches to gether. That maner of speaking is geuen therfore to the order: so now he discerneth the thirde wo from the seconde: signifiyng in dede that Mahometes lawe shal indure to the last iudgemēt: and yet in the meane time denieth not, but that Papistrie shal cō tinewe so long also, wherof he hath hitherto in the .11. chapt. discoursed many thinges, hauyng finisshed the matters of Mahomet in the .9. chapt. Therfore the sense of the Apostles wordes semeth to be this: you haue hearde of the firste and seconde wo, heare furthermore also of the thirde and last wo.
