1For as much as the Apostle in this book most plentifully hath described the oppression of Saints, and the cruel mischievous, and proud assaults of the persecutors of the Gospel, whereby they both mock God, and torment his saints, whereupon evermore at all times the complaints ⟨p. 559⟩even of the godly men are red to have risen, as though God through his long suffering and great patience, should seem to neglect the oppressed: he discourseth also most at large now, the rejoicings and praises of Saints, whereby they extol the verity and justice of God, never neglecting his, and most grievously punishing the ungodly persecutors. Howbeit they rejoice here chiefly, and praise God for the taking away of Antichrist, and all ungodliness with him. Which verily is the first place of this chapter. The second confirmeth all Saints, leest they should doubt any thing of the salvation of the faithful, which he showeth to be most certain. The third place reciteth the sin of blessed John: and the faithful doctrine of the holy Angel, that we should worship no creatures, be they never so holy. In the last place is described the judge, or revenger Jesus Christ, coming to judgement: there is moreover described the perdition or punishment of all ungodly, which the just and holy lord taketh of them. Which place verily begun in the .11. chapt. of this book, and suspended hitherto, repeated somewhat in the .14. is now at the last finished.
1For as much as the Apostle in this boke most plentifully hath described the oppression of Sainctes, and the cruell mischeuouse, and prowde assaultes of the persecutours of the Gospell, whereby they both mocke God, and tourment his sainctes, whereupon euermore at all times the complainctes ⟨p. 559⟩euen of the godly men are red to haue risen, as though God through his longe sufferyng and great patience, should seme to neglecte the oppressed: he discourseth also moste at large nowe, the reioycinges and prayses of Sainctes, wherby thei extolle the veritie and iustice of God, neuer neglectyng his, and most greuousely punnishing the vngodly persecutours. Howebeit they reioyce here chiefely, and prayse God for the taking awaye of Antichriste, and all vngodlines with him. Whiche verely is the first place of this chapter. The seconde confirmeth al Sainctes, leeste they should doubte any thing of the saluation of the faythfull, which he sheweth to be most certayne. The thirde place reciteth the sinne of blessed Iohn: and the faithfull doctrine of the holy Aungel, that we should worshippe no creatures, be they neuer so holy. In the laste place is described the iudge, or reuenger Iesus Christe, commyng to iudgement: there is moreouer described the perdition or punnishement of al vngodly, which the iuste and holy lord taketh of them. Which place verely begōne in the .11. chapt. of this boke, and suspēded hitherto, repeted somewhat in the .14. is now at the last finisshed.
