1Now also he rehearseth the song or triumphant ditty, and rejoicing: the kingdoms of this world are made our lords, & his Christs, and he shall reign for ever more, Amen. He showeth two things, that all kingdoms are made the fathers and the sons: and that he shall reign for evermore. Al kingdoms were before also our lord Jesus Christs: but the same appeared not so plainly to all men, what time the bishop of Rome also usurped the same to him self, & oppressed ⟨p. 339⟩them which did only celebrate the name of Christ. But in that it shall truly appear, and that to all flesh, that all kingdoms were ever, and yet remain of one & the eternal God. Christ therefore overcometh, the verity overcometh, the gospel overcometh, the church overcometh: they that are vanquished, shall be led to hell, Mahomet with his, & the Bishop of Rome with his. There is added, that Christ shall reign for ever more. Antichrist in deed hath reigned, and the wicked have rejoiced in this world, but a very short time: but now shall the godly reign with christ for ever more. Neither doeth he now divide the kingdom of the father & the son, but showeth it to be common, where he sayeth that the kingdoms are made: that is to say. it is openly declared, that all kingdoms are of God the father and the son, and that he shall reign with his elect for evermore. So you may see that the place of S. Paul may not be expounded after the letter, which is written in the .1. to the Corinth. the .15. chapt. of that the son•• must be subjected, & shall deliver the kingdom to his father. For he shall deliver the kingdom, to wit the church: that is to say, shall bring, and present it to the father, and in his members shall be subject to the father, with whom not withstanding he him self shall reign for ever. The affirmative vocable is annexed, Amen. Leest any man should doubt one whit of these celestial mysteries. Howbeit he doeth more plainly expound afterward, what those voices are that were spoken in Heaven, whilst he annexeth the narration of the .xxiiii. Elders, and of such things wherewith they praised God.
1Nowe also he rehearseth the songe or triumphaunt dittie, and reioycyng: the kingdomes of this worlde are made our lordes, & his Christes, and he shal raigne for euer more, Amē. He sheweth two thinges, that all kingedomes are made the fathers and the sonnes: and that he shal raigne for euermore. Al kingdomes were before also our lord Iesus Christes: but the same appered not so plainely to al men, what time the bisshop of Rome also vsurped the same to him selfe, & oppressed
