1But before the Angels pour out the cups of plagues received, they are most gallantly and diligently described. And is showed, from whence they came out: that is what is the original of the judgements of God. They come out of the temple set open, and that out of the temple of the Tabernacle ⟨p. 477⟩of witness, which is in heaven. For Moses saw a temple on the mount, and that also in heaven, after the similitude whereof he was commanded of God to make the tabernacle of witness. Therefore was the tabernacle of witness fashioned and built after the shape exhibited and seen in heaven, which the blessed Apostle to the Hebrews calleth [Greek or Hebrew] to wit the very example or patron. For it was said to Moses, see that thou makest every thing according to the Patron, which was showed thee on the Mount. Which thing Moses did accordingly. But such things as came forth of the Tabernacle of witness made in earth, seemed to the Israelites just and holy. Hereof were ared the oracles and answers of God, which it was not lawful to speak against. Therefore when we hear now that the very judgements of God against the wicked world,2 pains and punishments come out of the true temple it self, the patron I mean and that celestial, who should hereafter doubt that all the judgements of God, wherewith he plagueth the ungodly, be sacred & holy? And whilst the ungodly are plagued, that we must think nothing else, but that a sentence as it were an oracle is come or pronounced from heaven, which it is unlawful to gain say? to conclude, the divine judgements do proceed out of the very throne of God, wherefore they can not but be most holy. Otherwise we shall hear in the .21. chapt. that there is no temple in heaven. These be therefore Types and figures, not matters true and permanent: but after they have signified this, for the which they were instituted, passing and fading away.

And is shewed, from whence they came out: that is what is the originall of the iudgementes of God. They come out of the temple set open, and that out of the temple of the Tabernacle ⟨p. 477⟩
