Yet now he suspendeth a while that narration begun of ⟨p. 473⟩the Angels masters of the plagues:1 and placeth or sendeth before the great joys of the blessed Martyrs, triumphs, song of praise rejoicing and thanks giving. And this Joy is interlaced here in the treatise of punishments, for the consolation of the faithful, that they should know themselves delivered from punishments. And if it fortune, whilst the wicked are punished, that any displeasure touch them also (as it can not be chosen, but the wicked being plagued, some discommodity must also arise unto the faithful) that they may understand yet, that the dangers of the discommodities, must with the excellent abundance of joys be recompensed. For hereby is signified, how the godly rejoice, whilst the lord executeth his justice. To be also the changeable course of things, that those that have ones wept in the world, should now be glad and joyful, according to the saying of our saviour in the .16. of John. Moreover it behoved by the testimony of all Saints to be declared to the Saints that dwell in Earth, that the judgements of God be righteous and true: which thing understand, questions and sundry mutininges against God do cease.

And this Ioye is interlased here in the treatise of punnishementes, for the consolation of the faithful, that they should knowe themselues deliuered from punnishmentes. And if it fortune, whilest the wicked are punnisshed, that any displeasure touch thē also (as it can not be chosen, but the wicked beyng plaged, some discōmoditie must also arrise vnto the faithful) that thei maye vnderstande yet, that the daungers of the discōmodities, must with the excellent aboūdaunce of ioyes be recompensed. For hereby is signified, how the godly reioyce, whilest the lord executeth his iustice. To be also the chaungeable course of thinges, that those that haue ones wepte in the world, should now be glad and ioyefull, accordyng to the saiyng of our sauiour in the .16. of Iohn. Morouer it behoued by the testimony of all Sainctes to be declared to the Sainctes that dwell in Earth, that the iudgementes of God be rightouse and true: whiche thing vnderstande, questions and sondry mutininges agaynst God do cease.
