¶ The Lord Christ perfourmeth an othe, and confirmeth his electe, that they should not doubt of the fayth of Gods promesses, &c. The .xliiij. Sermon.
And the Angel which I saw stand upon the sea, and upon the earth, lift up his hand to Heaven, and swore by him that liveth for ever more, which created heaven and the things which therein are, and the sea and the things which are therein, that there shall be no more time: but in the days of the voice of the seventh Angel, when he shall begin to blow, even the mystery of God shall be finished, as he preached by his servants the Prophets.
ANd the Angel which I sawe stāde vpon the sea, and vpon the earth, lift vp his hande to Heauen, and swore by him that liueth for euer more, whiche created heauen and the things which therin are, and the sea and the thinges which are therin, that there shal be no more time: but in the daies of the voice of the seuenth Angell, when he shal beginne to blowe, euen the mistery of God shal be finisshed, as he preached by his seruauntes the Prophetes.
But whilst the wicked triumphed, and the enemies of God, Antichrist & Mahomet, overcame with most lucky success, ⟨p. 290⟩whilst all good men were oppressed, and deceit and lying reigned every where, many men will think that there shall never be an end, neither of these evils, nor yet of the world. For the Apostle S. Peter know this, sayeth he, that in the latter days shall come mockers, which will walk after their own concupiscences, and will say, where is the promise of his coming? Of whom Malachi also reasoneth in the .3. and 4. chapt. But to the intent the goodness of God might heal the wounds of the godly, and might advance them in the verity against lying and revolting, and establish them in the same, Christ cometh abroad: and sweareth in the sight of all men solemnly. Which thing must be expounded by all circumstances. For it is a thing of most weight, most full of comfort, and right wholesome and necessary for all men.
