1He rehearseth the wrath or tyranny of infidels, against the faithful cruelly and continually executed, and so verily, that God seemed to many to be a block, and neither could nor would be angry. But the judgement ones made, the elders extol Gods verity, and say the wrath is come. Doubtless the holy Prophets of God have always threatened punishments, testifying that God is angry, both with the sinners and with sins: but where the wrath of god appeared not immediately, the Prophets appeared to fear men with vain terrors, and as it were, make them afraid of their shadows, but now, say the elders, the verity hath appeared, and the wrath of God is come. And the wrath of God, showeth it self in the just vengeance of God.

1Moreover they extol in that also the verity and justice of God, for that the time of the dead is come, that they be judged. Hitherto whilst the world flourished, they seemed to tell fables, and grandam's tales, which spake of the resurrection of the dead, and the life to come. For the resurrection of the dead was contemned of Philosophers, and men of this world. But the elders rejoice also, that the same time is come, and that the dead are revived, that is, that the bodies of the dead are risen again, and come to judgement. Whereof the Apostle speaking: we must all saith he, appear openly before the judgement seat of God, that every one may receive such things as are done by the body according as it hath done, whether it be good or evil .2.
