And when he had opened the .vii. 1seal, there was silence in Heaven about the space of half an hour. And I saw seven Angels standing before God, & to them were given seven trumpets. And an other Angel came and stood before the Altar, having a golden censer, & much of odours was given unto him, that he should offer of the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar, which was before the seat. And the smoke of the odours which came of the prayers of all saints, ascended up before God out of the Angels hand. And the Angel toke the censer, and filled it with fire of the Altar, and caste it into the earth, and voices were made, and Thunderings, and Lightnings, and Earthquake.

I suppose there be no books in the world, of whomsoever,1 or when soever they were written, which may compare with the books of holy scripture, as concerning the sincere verity, pure simplicity, and plain order. Neither peradventure that may seem any marvel to any man, knowing that the same are written in deed of men, but inspired of the holy ghost. There be edifices most skilfully builded of men, and framed and contrived in a most goodly order. But what beauty will you judge them to have, in case ye compare them with the creation of the world, and with that most beautiful order, which we see daily in all things created, and changeable course of times? the most excellent works of men have nothing in them, yea seem vile, in case you compare them with the workmanship of God the creator.
