1Our Lord Jesus Christ, as the faithful pastor of his church, will utter the destinies and wonderful calamities that will come upon the church. Therefore to the intent he might stop the mouths of such as mutive and be inquisitive of the judgements of God, and might persuade all men to have patience in these storms of evils, he setteth forth a treatise before, wherein he showeth that all things are done or permitted to be done of God by his most just providence, and are governed or ordered by the Lamb, with a judgement most righteous and holy. For who so believeth and remembereth this, in what chances so ever he happen, he submitteth him self humbly and lowly and obediently to his God, and crieth always, the Lord is righteous in all his mayes and holy in all his works. And this is the most true state of the first part of this vision, which is done in the 4. and 5. chapt. And is more over most elegant, most pleasant, and most full of consolation. Allthings are more lively set forth and perceived in such fit and heavenly representations, than they can be understand in bare words.
