And verily this doctrine is very profitable and necessary to be learned and understand most diligently of all and singular faithful,1 as the which with much diligence and most plentiful abundance was set forth to this end of the Prophets and Apostles, but chiefly of the Lord Jesus Christ him self, both in the Gospel, and also in this most godly revelation. For unless thou be kept in thy duty for fear of the judgement, and Judge to come, it is no marvel though thou runnest mad and perish with this foolish and wicked world. In the treatise of the last judgement is seen the end of all men, life and death, felicity and misery, pain or torment, and unspeakable and heavenly reward. He that remembereth these things well, abhorreth wickedness, and walketh in holy fear before God.
