I remember (m)Lactantius (who lived in the third Century) hath a saying, that before the Lord Jesus come from Heaven to set up his glorious kingdom here below, there shall a sword fall from heaven to the earth, whereby the Saints then living (saith he) shall gather courage, as knowing that ere long, their Lord will come to redeem them out of the hands of all that hate them. Now this is come to pass at this day, there is a sword fallen from Heaven to the Earth, the God of Heaven and Earth hath put all the world into a bloody frame of revenge and war one against another. Therefore let the Saints lift up their heads, and let them know that the Lord is coming, ⟨p. 160⟩is coming, is coming. The great and terrible day of the Lord, it is near, it is near, wherein the mighty man shall cry bitterly.

Therefore let the Saints lift up their heads, and let them know that the Lord is coming, ⟨p. 160⟩is coming, is coming. The great and terrible day of the Lord, it is near, it is near, wherein the mighty man shall cry bitterly.
