And I saw, when he had opened the sixth seal, and behold there was a great earth quake. And the Sun was as black as a sack cloth made of here: and the Moon waxed even as blood: and the stars of Heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth from her her figs when she is shaken of a mighty wind: and Heaven vanished away as a scroll when it is rolled together.

The sixth seal opened of the lamb,1 openeth unto us generally, and setteth forth to be seen of the eyes of all men, the corruption of the doctrine in the church, with this mourning & terrible effect of the same. Neither is there any other thing said here in the sixth seal, as also in the five former seals, than that which was prophesied before of the same our lord Jesus Christ in the .24. of Matth. that the Gospel should be preached through out the world: and how there should come wars, famines, pestilences, & persecutions most grievous: and false prophets, which should deceive men, whom also they should drown in most grievous sorrows.
