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.

This place (which is the fourth of this chapt.) and this treatise stretcheth unto the .21. chapter. The elocution is great, smelling of the prophetical majesty, and Apostolical perspicuity, and efficacy. You shall find not a few of this sort in the prophets, especially in the .24.25.26. and .27. chapt. of Isaiah.

Iohn hath ones, twise, thryse begonne to treate of the laste iudgement, as in the ende of the .11. and .14. chapt. And yet hath euer differred, suspended and reserued to an other place: at the last thinkyng it time, to set before al mens eyes a description chiefely necessarie, at the length he taketh it in hande, and nowe finissheth it vp as a matter of all other greateste. He annexeth therefore to a plentifull treatise of the tourmentes of the vngodly, a moste full and euident description of the iudge moste rightuous and greatest, and of ⟨p. 575⟩
