We have heard, brethren, the sixth seal being opened,1 that the Sun was made black, the Moon bloody, the Stars to have fallen from Heaven to the Earth, and the rest that we have rehearsed: by all the which was signified the corruption of doctrine. A sorrowful and a fearful matter was shadowed with most sorrowful and most terrible parables. We heard how there followed in the world a most great turmoil of things, and with many a most grievous despair: and that the winds also were restrained, that they should not blow. But we have experienced, how great a grief it is, yea and destruction also, to want the air or wind, in so much that with out breathing and cooling, men must needs wither and be quesomed and choked up. But with so great an evil are they vexed which are destitute of the preaching of Gods word.
