1And with many words, and also most diligently and goodly is treated here of the opening of the seals, who verily might be thought worthy to open to the church, the secret judgements of God, and to execute and minister his holy works: that is to say, to whom the kingdom is given and government of the divine providence. For an Angel, and that not of the common sort, but a strong, and worthy one, with a loud voice crieth, to make us all attentive, and that we should note diligently, who he is that should both open the book, and unloose, or undo the seals. And he holdeth long in suspense the hearer, beholder or reader, before he will show him, to the intent verily to commend him to us exceedingly. No man, sayeth he, in the whole universal world, neither amongst the Angels & saints in heaven, nor amongst earthly men, and under the earth, was found, which could either open or unseal the book.
1And with many wordes, and also moste dilligently and goodly is treated here of the openyng of the seales, who verely might be thought worthie to open to the churche, the secret iudgementes of God, and to execute and minister his holy workes: that is to saye, to whome the kingdome is geuen and gouernement of the diuine prouidēce. For an Aungell, and that not of the cōmon sorte, but a stronge, and worthie one, with a loude voice crieth, to make vs all attentiue, and that we shoulde note diligently, who he is that shoulde both open the boke, and vnloose, or vndoe the seales. And he holdeth longe in suspence the hearer, beholder or reader, before he will shewe him, to the intent verely to cōmende him to vs exceadingly. No man, sayeth he, in the whole vniuersal world, neither emonges the Aungelles & sainctes in heauen, nor emongs earthly men, and vnder the earth, was founde, whiche coulde eyther open or vnseale the boke.
