1And this place is of efficacy enough to prove the deity of our Saviour Christ. For these things ought to be conferred with those which are written upon the same words in the .iiii. chapt. The .xxiiii. Elders fell down before him that sitteth in the Throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever: And now it is said, that the self same elders have fallen down before the lamb: whereupon it followeth that he that liveth for ever and the lamb be worshipped with like glory, cult, and honour: And that the son is coequal with the father, to be worshipped for ever. Whereby now is openly perceived the abominable and detestable error of Arius and Seruetus,2 confuted at this present not only of the beasts, but also of the whole congregation of Saints in heaven. Idle men reason subtly, and pervert & wrest gods word ⟨p. 169⟩after their wonted giantly boldness, at their pleasure: we will rather follow the examples of all saints and creatures in the world, and will worship the lamb with him that sitteth in the throne blessed for evermore.
1And this place is of efficacitie enough to proue the deitie of our Sauiour Christe. For these thinges ought to be conferred with those whiche are written vpon the same wordes in the .iiii. chapt. The .xxiiii. Elders fell downe before him that sitteth in the Throne, and worshippe him that liueth for euer and euer: And now it is sayed, that the selfe same elders haue fallen downe before the lambe: wherupon it followeth that he that liueth for euer and the lambe be worshipped with like glory, culte, and honour: And that the sonne is coequall with the father, to be worshipped for euer. Wherby now is opēly perceyued the abominable and detestable errour of Arius and Seruetus,2 confuted at this present not only of the beastes, but also of the whole cōgregation of Sainctes in heauē. Idle men reason subtilly, and peruerte & wraste gods worde ⟨p. 169⟩after their wonted giantly boldenes, at their pleasure: we wil rather followe the examples of all sainctes and creatures in the worlde, and will worship the lambe with hym that sitteth in the throne blessed for euermore.
