1First S. John in the vision seeth heaven open. For by a vision, to the end all things might be more evident, he not only telleth so great a matter, but setteth it also before yt eyes to behold: and that he sayeth, he sayeth of the revelation of Jesus Christ: leest any should object and say, art not thou a mad fellow to talk thus of matters unknown? For what is he that knoweth, who or what that judge shall be? or else what that judgement shall be? Therefore he telleth these things from the judge Christ himself, and by an heavenly revelation. For other places of the Scripture show, that the Lord shall come in glory and Majesty: therefore with a great and most shining brightness of light, with fire and exceeding great clearness. For so it is said in the .24. & .25. of S. Matth. in the .7. of Daniel. And the .2. Thess. 1. chapt. Therefore by the opening of heaven is signified, that the whole world shall be lightened with glory and brightness, and that the same day shall be most shining and clear. Others understand, that the judgement can not be fully perceived, but of the celestial revelation. Which as I confess to be most true, so think I hear some greater matter to be signified.
1First S. Iohn in the vision seeth heauen open. For by a vision, to the ende all thinges might be more euident, he not only telleth so great a matter, but setteth it also before yt eyes to beholde: and that he sayeth, he sayeth of the reuelation of Iesu Christ: leest any should obiecte and saye, arte not thou a madde fellowe to talke thus of matters vnknowen? For what is he that knoweth, who or what that iudge shal be? or els what that iudgement shall be? Therefore he telleth these thinges from the iudge Christe himselfe, and by an heauenly reuelation. For other places of the Scripture shewe, that the Lord shal come in glory and Maiestie: therefore with a great and most shining brightnes of light, with fire and excedyng great clerenes. For so it is sayde in the .24. & .25. of S. Matth. in the .7. of Daniel. And the .2. Thess. 1. chapt. Therefore by the openyng of heauen is signifsed, that the whole world shal be lightned with glory and brightnes, and that the same daye shal be most shining and clere. Others vnderstande, that the iudgement can not be fully perceyued, but of the celestial reuelation. Whiche as I confesse to be moste true, so thinke I heare some greater matter to be signified.
