AND I saw in the right hand of him that sate on the throne a book written within and on the back side, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel preaching with a loud voice: who is worthy to open the book & lose the seals thereof?

He now proceedeth to describe more fully him that sitteth on the Throne: Of whom he had touched certain and a few things before. In this piece is no small force of this our matter.

Which thing all the saints of God, and creatures acknowledging, for an example to us, that we should do the like, do praise and celebrate him that liveth for ever.
