And consequently he declareth by particulars and at large that celestial glory, and blessed seats.1 For what things so ever are ample, what so ever are in cities commendable, the same a•• plainly found in this our city most excellent, as the largeness, strength, majesty, sureness, excellency, beauty, pleasantness and plenty of things. These things I say, and all other like do wonderfully excel in the city of our god, and in our fathers house: and where as these things are on this wise set forth and amplified most liberally, yet seemeth there nothing at all said, in case a man consider the unspeakable majesty of the glory celestial.2 But all these things are alleged of the lord by S. John to this end verily, that we should be taken with the desire of so worthy a life, and should think in our tribulations, and troubles, that the afflictions of this present world are nothing, being compared with so excellent & sovereign glory: finally that all are madd•, which begin to doubt of the eternal hope of the faithful. V•ry many things of this sort are red also in Ezekiel in ••t. 40. ⟨p. 650⟩chapt. and after. We will touch every part of this treatise, using nevertheless a succinct brevity, leest we should be tedious to any man. And verily he toucheth the principal and most commendable things of Cities, and in them showeth that the city of God excelleth.
And cōsequently he declareth by particulars and at large that celest•all glory, and blessed seates.1 For what thinges so euer are •mple, what so euer are in cities commendable, the same a•• playnely founde in this our citie moste excellent, as the largenes, strength, maiestie, surenes, excellencie, beaultie, pleasauntnes and plentie of thinges. These thinges I saye, and al other like do wōderfully excelle in the citie of our god, and in our fathers house: and where as these thinges are on this wise set forth and amplified moste liberally, yet semeth there nothing at al sayde, in case a mā consider the vnspeakeable maiestie of the glory celestial.
