1First is recited a Throne, & that in deed a celestial throne, leest in the works, in the providence and judgements of God, we should Imagine any thing carnal or corrupt. Secondly he that sitteth on the throne is represented unto us by two colours, Green and red. For God is an eternal essence giving to all their grieves or being. The same burneth in love towards man kind, and willeth well unto man: but to the disobedient and rebels he is a consuming fire. And ⟨p. 145⟩the throne is environed with a rainbow greener than grass, comforting us, that we should not be dismayed at the sight of that Godly throne, but should remember always, that he which sitteth in the throne, judge & governor of all, is most true and keepeth his promises: & to be that same league friend of ours .xxiiii. Elders sit round about the throne, which already are signified what they be, and as it were shadowed: straight way in the end of the iiii. chapt. and in the fifth shall be declared, what they do, or what they say. Doubtless all the Saints in heaven are lookers on, of the judgements and works of God. For the judgements of God be not such, that they should flee the light and knowledge of Saints.
1First is recited a Throne, & that in dede a celestial throne, leeste in the workes, in the prouidence and iudgementes of God, we shoulde Imagine any thynge carnall or corrupte. Secondly he that sitteth on the throne is represented vnto vs by two coulours, Grene and red. For God is an eternal essence geuyng to al their greues or beyng. The same burneth in loue towardes man kinde, and willeth wel vnto man: but to the disobedient and rebelles he is a consumyng fire. And ⟨p. 145⟩the throne is inuironed with a raynbow grener than grasse, comfortyng vs, that we should not be dismayed at the sight of that Godly throne, but should remembre alwaies, that he whiche sitteth in the throne, iudge & gouernour of al, is most true and kepeth his promesses: & to be that same leage frende of oures .xxiiii. Elders sitte rounde aboute the throne, which already are signified what they be, and as it were shadowed: streight waye in the ende of the iiii. chapt. and in the fifte shal be declared, what they doe, or what they saye. Doubtles all the Sainctes in heauen are lokers on, of the iudgemētes and workes of God. For the iudgementes of God be not sutch, that they should flee the light and knoweledge of Sainctes.
