And where some man might demand.1 But what end shall there be of injuries, pride, finally of intolerable arrogā tie, and blasphemies? S. John preventeth and sayeth: and power was given him to do, that is to work violence, xlii. months: that is to say, so long time, as it seemeth good to the Lord: which nevertheless, although he would have the time to be to us unknown, yet is known to him, so that the godly may promise themselves, that this evil shall endure but a few months, of this number have I reasoned in the 11. chapt. and .xlvi. Sermon. And have showed in the former places that those numbers were equivalent, to wit the thousand two hundred and three score days, the .xlii. months, the time, two times, and half a time. God therefore admonishing us as it were by a riddle, will not have us curiously to inquire after times, which he hath kept in his own power, it is sufficient to us that he hath assigned all things in their lust limits.

Iohn preuenteth and sayeth: and power was geuen him to do, that is to worke violence, xlii. monethes: that is to saye, so longe time, as it semeth good to the Lorde: whiche neuertheles, although he would haue the time to be to vs vnknowen, yet is knowē to him, so that the godly maye promise themselues, that this euill shall indure but a fewe monethes, of this nombre haue I reasoned in the 11. chapt. and .xlvi. Sermon. And haue shewed in the former places that those nombres were equiualent, to wit the thousande two hōdreth and three score dayes, the .xlii. monethes, the time, two times, and half a time. God therfore admonisshyng vs as it were by a riddle, will not haue vs curiousely to inquire after times, which he hath kept in his own power, it is sufficient to vs that he hath assigned all thinges in their luste limittes.
