1Upon occasion of harvest and vintage expounded in the last part of the former vision, is annexed the fifth part of this godly work, which representeth unto us the fourth vision of this work, which some make the fifth. The same is of the judgements of God, it hath two parts: wherefore it might also be divided into more visions, but we had rather use fewer. For first he discourseth most largely of the pains or torments prepared of God, & to be executed upon Antichrist his members, and all the ungodly: here is treated of the judgement of the whore of Babylon, of the destinies and ruin of Rome, and the church of Rome, of the rejoicing and song of saints, of the coming of the judge unto judgement, of the pain and everlasting destruction of all wicked. And these are entreated in the .15.16.17.18.19. and .20. chap. Than also he reasoneth most excellently of the reward of saints, and of the everlasting felicity, through out the whole .21. chap. and a good part of the .22. every where is set open hell it self, and heaven it self: ⟨p. 471⟩And is given us in manner to look in this flesh mortal, even into very hell it self & into the very palace of Heaven. Neither shall you find any where in all the Scriptures with a continual treatise so plenteous a disputation of the judgements of God, of the torments of the wicked, & of the felicity and joys of the godly, as in this present.
