1And now S. John recollecting the chiefest points of this matter, and concluding this place of eternal life, he finisheth this everlasting felicity in seven members: which we will but touch only, for that many think we have spoken hereof already sufficiently, and plentifully enough. And to begin with all, there shall be no curse, no execration, no malediction, neither war, nor famine, nor diseases, nor yet any such thing,2 as is recited of Moses amongst the curses in the 27. and .28. of Deuter. Not that all are accursed, which are subject to the same. For Job and other holy men, were tormented with sickness: but that commonly the accursed, unbelievers and wicked are plagued there with. Not that they should be exercised and profit in godliness, but that they should first be afflicted here, & so by certain degrees pass unto greater torments. What than?
