1Then he weareth a Golden crown on his head: not that there is any corruptible gold in Heaven, but for corruptible men so he speaketh, that they may understand their judge to be the high king: and may gather thereof, that no man is able to resist the power of this king. For otherwise our Lord hath no need of any corruptible gold.2 Finally our lord here hath a sickle, and that right sharp. Whereby is signified his judgement exceeding strait, and destruction of the wicked. In the .3. of Matth. The judgement of the Lord is compared to a fan, of blessed John. He addeth, that the axe is laid at the root of the tree: whereby he signified that certain judgement was at hand or rather destruction.
