And what time the Air is moved,1 sundry and horrible tempests arise in the air. And the Lord Jesus in the gospel after Matthew testifieth, that about the last coming of ⟨p. 500⟩Christ, the powers of heaven shall be moved. And as soon as the cup was poured out into the air, and a great tempest arisen, a voice sounded [Greek or Hebrew], it is done. By the which voice is signified,2 how all things are at an end, even of the whole world, much more of wicked papistry. And this voice is heard out of the very temple of heaven, and throne of God, leest we should doubt any thing of the verity and certainty of the sentence given, and again of the virtue and power of him that doeth pronounce it. Therefore are they shamefully deceived, so many as affirm the world to be everlasting, and that they shall reign always upon earth, and enjoy the pleasures thereof. A voice from heaven, out of the most holy temple of God, and even out of the most sincere throne of the Almighty, speaketh, that it is done. For he speaketh of the time to come as though it were paste, that we might as certainly know that all worldly and popish things should have an end, as we undoubtedly know the things to be done, which are already past. Let us therefore watch, and put no confidence in the things of this world, which are most deceitful. All things shall fall to decay, and come to naught, men only, and the blessed spirits, remaining through the grace of God, the unhappy also remaining perpetually, appointed to perpetual punishment by the justice of God.

And the Lorde Iesus in the gospell after Mathew testifieth, that aboute the last comming of ⟨p. 500⟩Christe, the powers of heauen shall be moued. And as soone as the cuppe was powred out into the ayer, and a great tempest arrysen, a voice sounded 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, it is done. By the which voyce is signified,
