1And this Angel flieth in the midst of heaven. By this thing is signified the lucky course and proceeding of the preaching of the gospel. It is also written in the prophets, his word runneth swiftly. Psalm .19. David compareth the running of the preaching of the gospel, to the course of the sun, joyful as a giant he runneth his way: i• the uttermost part of heavens he ariseth, and runneth again to the same, neither can any man stop him, nor hide him self from the heat thereof. The sun shineth in all places. Therefore shall the preaching be free. For as we can neither pluck back nor hinder, the things that are above us in the air & sky: so ⟨p. 447⟩shall we neither pluck down, nor hinder him that flieth in the midst of heaven. The words and writings fly, they fly far & wide where. Neither can the verity be oppressed. God hath given to the world Printing, whereby the gospel is preached and runneth far, wide, and most swiftly.
