1But when S. John published these things, and prophesied of the destruction of Babylon, which all men at that time (by reason of the late subversion of Jerusalem and most grievous captivity of the Jews, which had lately chanced under Vespasian) dead clearly understand to signify Rome: For right so had Babylon in times past, vexed the holy City, and nation, as now had Vespasian the Roman. The godly in deed believed them to be true, & that they should undoubtedly come to pass: The ungodly as dotages laughed them to scorn. The same had their elders done. For when the Prophets also prophesied the subversion of Nineveh, Babylon, and most mighty Monarchies, they seemed to them to be mad. Notwithstanding even as they had said, so came it to pass. Therefore the faithful believe the Oracles of God, how long so ever they be differed, which are prophesied to come: how unpossible so ever they appear unto the world. For to God speaking and willing, nothing is hard.

Ihon published these thinges, and prophesied of the destruction of Babilon, which al men at that time (by reason of the late subuersion of Ierusalem and most greuouse captiuitie of the Iewes, which had lately chaunced vnder Vespasian) ded clerely vnderstand to signifie Rome: For right so had Babilon in times past, vexed the holy Citie, and natiō, as nowe had Vespasian the Romane. The godly in dede beleued thē to be true, & that they shulde vndoubtedly come to passe: The vngodly as dotages laughed them to scorne. The same had their elders done. For when the Prophetes also prophesied the subuersion of Niniue, Babilon, and most mightie Monarchies, they semed to them to be mad. Notwithstāding euen as they had saied, so came it to passe. Therfore the faithfull beleue the Oracles of God, howe long so euer they be differred, which are prophesied to come: how vnpossible so euer they appeare vnto the worlde. For to God speakyng and willing, nothing is harde.
