The Revelation Of John The Divine

The Argument It is manifest, that the holy Ghost would as it were gather into this most excellent book a sum of those prophecies, which were written before, but should be fulfilled after the coming of Christ, adding also such things as should be expedient, as well to forewarn us of the dangers to come, as to admonish us to beware some, and encourage us against others. Herein therefore is lively set forth the Divinity of Christ, and the testimonies of our redemption; what things the Spirit of God alloweth in the ministers, and what things he reproveth; the providence of God for his elect, and of their glory and consolation in the day of vengeance, how that the hypocrites which sting like scorpions the members of Christ, shall be destroyed, but the Lamb Christ shall defend them, which bear witness to the truth, who in despite of the beast and Satan will reign over all. The lively description of Antichrist is set forth, whose time and power notwithstanding is limited,and albeit that he is permitted to rage against the elect, yet his power stretcheth no farther than to the hurt of their bodies; and at length he shall be destroyed by the wrath of God, when as the elect shall give praise to God for the victory; nevertheless for a season God will permit this Antichrist, and strumpet under the color of fair speech and pleasant doctrine to deceive the world; wherefore he advertiseth the godly (which are but a small portion) to avoid this harlots flatteries, and brags, whose ruin without mercy they shall see, and with the heavenly companies sing continual praises; for the Lamb is married; the word of God hath gotten the victory; Satan that a long time was united, is now cast with his ministers into the pit of fire to be tormented forever, where as contrariwise the faithful (which are the holy City of Jerusalem, and wife of the Lamb) shall enjoy perpetual glory. Read diligently; judge soberly, and call earnestly to God for the true understanding hereof.

Revelation 1

2 He declareth what kind of doctrine is here handled, 8 even his that is the beginning and ending.12 Then the mystery of the seven Candlesticks and stars, 20 is expounded.

1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto hisservants things which must shortly be done; which he sent, and shewed by hisAngel unto his servant John,2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, andof all things that he saw.3 Blessed

is he

that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, andkeep those things which are written therein; for the time is at hand.4 John to the seven Churches which are in Asia, Grace

with you, and peacefrom him, Which is, and Which was, and Which is to come, and from the sevenSpirits which are before his Throne,5 And from Jesus Christ, which is the faithful witness,

and

the first begotten ofthe dead, and the Prince of the Kings of the earth, unto him that loved us, andwashed us from our sins in his blood,6 And made us Kings and Priests unto God even his Father, to him

glory anddominion for evermore. Amen.7 Behold, he cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see him, yea, even theywhich pierced him through; and all kindreds of the earth shall wail before him,Even so, Amen.8I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, Whichis, and Which was, and Which is to come,

even

the Almighty.9 I John, even your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdomand patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle called Patmos, for the word of God,and for the witnessing of Jesus Christ.10 And I was

ravished

in spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a greatvoice, as it had been of a trumpet,
