AND I saw heaven open and behold a white horse, and he that sat upon him, was called faithful & true, and in righteousness did he judge, and make battle. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns: & he had a name written, that no man knew but him self. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood, and his name is called, the word of God. And the warriors which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed with white and pure silk.

And hath on his vesture, & on his thigh a name written: king of kings, and Lord of Lords.

Hitherto we have heard many things of the sundry pun nishementes of the ungodly:1 and because it is manifest, that God taketh punishment of the mischievous and wicked at sundry times, and diversely, but most fully and most severely in that same last judgement, and from thence forth evermore, and S. John hath ones, twice, thrice begun to treat of the last judgement, as in the end of the .11. and .14. chapt. And yet hath ever differed, suspended and reserved to an other place: at the last thinking it time, to set before all mens eyes a description chiefly necessary, at the length he taketh it in hand, and now finisheth it up as a matter of all other greatest. He annexeth therefore to a plentiful treatise of the torments of the ungodly, a most full and evident description of the judge most righteous and greatest, and of
