1And now he showeth the place, where this divine revelation was made him, where also he was commanded of Go• to write the same. The place was the Isle of Patmos. Th• same is accounted amongst the Islands called Sporad• of Pliny in the fourth book and .xii. cha. It lay over again Asia, and the city of Ephesus, and was in the sight both […] Europe and Africa, so that it seemed to be as it were a mi• dle seat, or holy chair, out of the which Christ preached […] John from heaven to the whole world. And in deed the co• sells of God are wonderful, and his goodness is unspeakable, which revealeth so great mysteries, as it were in th• Romish prison or Babilonicall captivity, to his faithful.
