And after that I looked, & behold, the Temple of the Tabernacle of testimony was open in Heaven, and the seven Angels came out of the Temple, which had the seven plagues, clothed on pure and bright linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles. And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven Angels, seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, which liveth for evermore. And the temple was full of smoke, for the glory of God, and for his power: and no man was able to enter into the Temple, till the seven plagues of the seven Angels were fulfilled.

1He returneth now to the description of the judgements of God, from the which he had made a little digression. This treatise hath much fruit. For the judgements of God, be the punishments or pains of the wicked, the testimonies of Gods righteousness and verity. Again the godly are herewith confirmed in their hope. For they see that one Jot doeth not fall from the words and threatenings of God, although he be of long suffering, winketh at them long, and even seemeth to favour and to spare the ungodly. The godly therefore perceive that their hope is not vain. They learn also to fear God, and to pray continually, leest being drunken with the pleasures and felicities of this world, they revolt from God to ungodliness. Finally the wicked are feared with pains, are provoked to repentance which whilst they refuse, they feel undoubtedly plagues, as Pharaoh felt.
