And I saw an other mighty angel come down from Heaven, 1clothed with a cloud, and the rainbow upon his head and his face was as the Sun, and his feet as it were pillars of fire: & he had in his hand a little book open: and he put his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the Earth. And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth. And when he had cried, seven thunders spake their voices: and when the seven thunders had spoken their voices, I was about to write. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me: seal up those things, which the seven thunders spake, and write them not.

And cried with a lowde voyce, as whē a lion roareth. And when he had cried, seuen thonders spake theyr voices: and when the seuen thonders had spoken theyr voyces, I was about to write. And I hearde a voice frō heauē saiyng vnto me: seale vp those things, whiche the seuen thonders spake, and write them not.
- 1The .10. chapter.
Hitherto have we heard many things of the most dangerous conflicts against the christen piety and verity: but nothing hath ben spoken of the defence and maintainers of the true religion: but rather the success and wonderful felicity of the wicked hath ben preached, especially in the fifth and sixth trumpet, to wit under Papistry & Mahometrie. ⟨p. 282⟩Therefore it might seem to many, that the verity it self was not only oppressed & lost, but also that the verity of Gods promises began to faint & decay.
