And let no man gather of this word, must, necessity, as though God wrought not freely:1 Or that the wicked did evil, not through their own fault, but by Gods compulsion.

And he sayeth these thynges must shortly be done that are reuealed, for bycause certen thynges began in the very tyme of S. Iohn.
