1Than toucheth he also briefly the manner of revealing. For he addeth, and he toke me up in spirit into a great and high mountain. Therefore like as in the former visions he was carried away in spirit, his body remaining in Patmos: and as we have red and admonished before, that such manner of visions and ravishments happened to Ezekiel: even so sayeth he now also that he is carried away in spirit, & in mind to have seen the things which the Angel showed. Wherefore if we will also read or hear these things to any profit, we must lift up our minds, and be carried up in our spirit, and think, that all these things must spiritually be understand. Aretas: rightly, sayeth he, in the mountain was showed the heavenly life & conversation of the Saints. For with them is nothing earthly, low or abject: but all things lofty and high. This he. Certainly what time in the Gospel the Lord Christ would exhibit to his disciples a certain taste and say of the glory to come, he conveyed them up into a Mount, and was transfigured before them: which thing S. Matthew affirmeth in the .17. chapt. to have chanced to Peter, James, and John.
1Thā toucheth he also brefely the maner of reuealyng. For he addeth, and he toke me vp in sprete into a greate and high mountayne. Therefore like as in the fourmer visions he was caried awaie in sprete, his body remayning in Pathmos: and as we haue red and admonisshed before, that suche maner of visions and rauishmentes happened to Ezechiel: euen so sayeth he nowe also that he is caried awaye in sprete, & in minde to haue sene the thinges which the Angel shewed. Wherfore if we will also reade or heare these thinges to any profit, we must lifte vp our mindes, and be caried vp in our sprete, and thinke, that al these thinges must spiritually be vnderstande. Aretas: rightly, sayeth he, in the mountayne was shewed the heauenly life & conuersation of the Sainctes. For with them is nothing earthly, lowe or abiecte: but all thinges loftie and high. This he. Certenly what time in the Gospell the Lorde Christe would exhibite to his disciples a certen taste and saye of the glory to come, he conueyed them vp into a Mounte, and was transfigured before them: which thing S. Matthewe affirmeth in the .17. chapt. to haue chaunced to Peter, Iames, and Iohn.
