1Than followeth the description of the judge, as of a noble and stout warrior, consisting of many parts. The godly understand hereby, that the keeper, watchman, & revenger ⟨p. 577⟩of the church sleepeth not, whom the wicked belie, not to perceive, what wrong they do to the godly, neither to care for the superstitious Christians, as they term them. They see moreover that they err, if they think Christ at any time over favourable, and to wink over long at the calamities of his servants. For now he cometh forth a judge and revenger. There be many excellent descriptions of Christ in this book, as in any other: but this is most elegant & lively, which I have according to my small talent, expounded by parts. Thou shalt ever think of greater things, till it shall be given to behold them presently with our eyes.
1Than followeth the description of the iudge, as of a noble and stoute warriour, consisting of many partes. The godly vnderstande hereby, that the kepar, watcheman, & reuenger ⟨p. 577⟩of the church slepeth not, whom the wicked belie, not to perceiue, what wrong thei do to the godly, nother to care for the superstitiouse Christians, as they terme thē. They see moreouer that they erre, if they thinke Christ at any time ouer fauourable, and to winke ouer long at the calamities of his seruauntes. For now he commeth forth a iudge and reuenger. There be many excellent descriptions of Christ in this boke, as in any other: but this is most elegaunt & liuely, whiche I haue accordyng to my smalle talent, expounded by partes. Thou shalt euer thinke of greater thinges, til it shal be geuen to beholde them presently with our eyes.
