¶ Christ is shewed agayne to be Authour of this booke, how great he is here. Here is also declared the desire of the church, wisshyng for the commyng of Christ, and the liberall promesse of the Lorde. The .C. Sermon.
I Jesus sent mine Angel to testify unto you these things in the congregations. I am the rote and generation of David, and the bright morning Star. And the spirit and the bride said, come. And let him that heareth say also, come. And let him that is a thirst, come. And let who so ever will, take of the water of life, free.
I Iesus sent mine Angell to testifie vnto you these thinges in the cō gregations. I am the rote and generatiō of Dauid, and the bright mornyng Starre. And the spirite and the bryde sayde, come. And lette him that heareth saye also, come. And let him that is a thirste, come. And let who so euer will, take of the water of life, free.
1The tenth place of this conclusion showeth again the author of this work to be Jesus Christ, which is brought in here of S. John speaking, to the intent the thing that is spoken may have the more authority, and credit be given more easily of the Auditors to the whole work. Wherefore nothing is to be ascribed to S. John, but the writing of the work, ⟨p. 689⟩that is to wit, that he first saw all these things, indited & committed them to writing. And the manner also of the revelation is repeated. Christ himself came not down into the earth, or into these lower parts, but sent forth his Angel, which from Christ, & in Christs name opened & showed these things to S. John. The end also of the Angels sending or revelation is specified, that he should testify these things in congregations, and to you all that are in the world, unto the end of the world. And we learn of those few words that credit must be given to this book, as that which is propounded of the very son of God by his Angel and Apostle, and that in deed propounded to all that are in the church. Again that Jesus Christ is very God, the lord of Angels: as S. Paul also affirmeth in the .1. chap. to the Hebrews.
