1S. John therefore seeth the Lamb standing upon Mount Zion. Christ therefore sleepeth not, he is not ignorant of the perils and conflicts of his church: but he standeth as prepared to aid and succour his. He standeth as a king invincible, whom neither the Dragon, nor the old nor the new beast hath overthrown. For I have told you oftener than ones, especially in the .5. chapt. that by the Lamb is understand Christ. For he is the lamb and price of our redemption until the judgement: but than laying a part the office of an intercessor, he shall be a most severe, and also a most holy judge. And Christ standeth, not in the sand, as did the Dragon: but on a Mount, and that upon mount Zion. Mount Zion was a figure of Christs kingdom, as appeareth plainly in the .2. Psalm, and the .2. of Isaiah. And the kingdom of Christ, is the church, aswell triumphant, as militant: therefore in the fellowship of Saints standeth Christ, the joy and glory of them that are in heaven, and the life and helper of them, which fight as yet in Earth. Let us believe therefore, that in the Antichristian persecutions Christ will never fail his faithful: as he is red never to have failed the old Saints under the old Roman Empire afflicted. For this consolation serveth chiefly for us, which are vexed of Antichrist: and served for them also, which suffered martyrdom under the old Roman Empire. Neither is there any doubt, but that they confirmed themselves herewith in the greatest persecutions.
1S. Iohn therfore seeth the Lambe standyng vpon Moūte Sion. Christ therfore slepeth not, he is not ignoraunt of the perilles and conflictes of his churche: but he standeth as prepared to ayde and succour his. He standeth as a king inuincible, whome nother the Dragon, nor the olde nor the newe beast hath ouerthrowen. For I haue tolde you oftener than ones, especially in the .5. chapt. that by the Lambe is vnderstande Christ. For he is the lambe and price of our redemption vntill the iudgement: but than laiyng a parte the office of an intercessour, he shall be a moste seuere, and also a moste holy iudge. And Christ standeth, not in the sande, as did the Dragon: but on a Mounte, and that vpon mounte Sion. Mounte Sion was a figure of Christes kingdome, as appereth playnely in the .2. Psalme, and the .2. of Esaye. And the kingedome of Christe, is the church, aswell triumphante, as militaunt: therefore in the felloweship of Sainctes standeth Christ, the ioye and glory of them that are in heauen, and the life and helper of them, whiche fight as yet in Earth. Let vs beleue therfore, that in the Antichristiane persecutiōs Christ wil neuer faile his faythfull: as he is red neuer to haue fayled the olde Sainctes vnder the olde Romane Empire afflicted. For this consolation serueth chiefly for vs, which are vexed of Antichrist: and serued for them also, whiche suffered martirdome vnder the olde Romane Empire. Nother is there any doubt, but that they cōfirmed themselues herewith in the greatest persecutions.
