1Seeing the greatest points of religion and true godliness, consist in the true knowledge, and understanding of the last judgement, as I oft admonish: to our great commodity S. John discourseth with so much diligence the treatise of the last judgement. And after his accustomed manner, to the intent all things that he propoundeth may have the more perspicuity, he not only declareth the matter in words, but setteth them forth by visions as things present to be seen with the eyes: and that to the faithful. For to the unfaithful, all these things, although most godly & divine, seem stark trifles and fables. But the wisdom of God shall laugh at them also, when she seeth her time: as she threateneth in the Proverbs of Solomon. And also soluteth certain questions, which are wont about this matter to be moved.
