Therefore cometh forth a meter of this city,1 an Angel sent to John from heaven, holding in his hand a reed, that is a long poll or measuring rod, not of wood, or lead, but of gold. And by the measuring he would we should esteem the quantity of the blessed seat. In the meter therefore and in the measure we shall not need to seek any great mysteries. For the eternal wisdom and providence of God hath prepared seats for his chosen: and that in a golden order, that is to wit most purified, which is signified by the golden reed or measure. For the judge in S. Matth. provoketh the She•e to take the inheritance, prepared from the beginning of the world. He alone knoweth also, who be his.
