For to these seven Angels are given seven trumpets, and the Angels already had the trumpets, and even prepared themselves to blow the on set.1 Where chiefly the use of trumpets is to be searched for. The same is most plentifully described of Moses, in the .10. of Numbers. The use of trumpets was diverse, as it is also at this day. First by the sound of the trumpet the people of Israel were called together, to consult of the common wealth. Again at the sound of them the Senate of princes of the people did assemble. Moreover they were warned by the trumpet, when & who should remove their tents. Furthermore the trumpets blew unto battle, what time they joined to fight, as may be seen in the .20. of Deuter. The people moreover were called together with trumpets on the holy days to public and divine service. Sound with the trumpet in Zion, call the congregation, sayeth Joel, gather the people. There was more over a feast of trumpets, and a Jubilee, having the name of the blowing and sound of trumpets: as appeareth in the .25. of Levit. Finally the preaching of the verity was figured by the sound of trumpets, neither might any other blow the same but priests. For it forceth much to whom you commit or deliver the signs public.
For to these seuen Aungels are geuen seuen trompettes, and the Aungels already had the trompettes, and euen prepared themselues to blowe the on set.1 Where chiefly the vse of trompettes is to be searched for. The same is most plentifully described of Moses, in the .10. of Nombres. The vse of trompettes was diuerse, as it is also at this daie. First by the sounde of the trompet the people of Israel were called together, to consult of the cōmon welth. Agayne at the sounde of thē the Senate of princes of the people did assemble. Moreouer they were warned by the trompet, when & who should remoue their tentes. Furthermore the trompets blewe vnto battel, what time they ioyned to fight, as maye be sene in the .20. of Deuter. The people moreouer were called together with trompettes on the holy dayes to publicke and diuine seruice. Sounde with the trompet in Zion, call the congregation, sayeth Iohel, gather the people. There was more ouer a feaste of trompettes, and a Iubiley, hauing the name of the blowyng and sounde of trompets: as appereth in the .25. of Leuit. Finally the preachyng of the veritie was figured by the sounde of trompettes, neyther might any other blow the same but priestes. For it forceth much to whom you cōmitte or deliuer the signes publicke.
