Iohn the Euangelist where among other admirable visions and figures that which he writeth in the 10. Chapter is very remarkable which ioyntly with those wordes of the Apostle in the epistle to the Ephesiās Redeeme thy time for thy daies are euill shall be the Theme and groūd of this our treatise and exhortatiō He then further sayth that he sawan Angell goodly mighty and powerfull to apprehēsion to come dovvne from heaven environed vvith a Cloud vvho brought vvith him on his head in lievv of à Diadem Heavens Rainebow his face was resplendant as is the Sunne at full Noone with his irradiations his glistering beames his Feete were like Columnes or great pillars of purely bright-burning fire In his hand he held a booke opened and treading on the Sea with his right foote and on the earth with his left foote so loudly strained he his voice and in such à māner that he seemed not vnlike a Lion when he roareth and pointing at Heauē with his fore-finger sware by him who liveth and shall live for ever ād ever him who created heauen earth and sea ād whatsoever is in thē cōtained that after the dayes of the seavēth Angell time should cease for ever and ever that time should haue no being at all To declare breifly the mysteries which herein are comprised This Angell according to the exposition of many Authors is Christ our Lord the Angell of the great high and mighty Counsaile or is One of the most blessed Angells who representeth his person who hath from him the office of his Legate or Embassadour descended From heaven for apparantly most visibly he is to come downe from thence in a resplendent a cleerly-bright and most glorious Cloud with great and mighty power to giue Iudgment on all the world Yet observe also that his being covered in a cloud doth signifie the confusion the strange conturbation which in those last daies will appeare as well in the time of the raigne and fearefull persecution of Antichrist as also when there shall appeare such terrible such horrible such dreadfull signes which are to fall out and evidently to be shewen before the vniversall iudgment the day of doome when as the fearful presence of the Iudge is from moment to moment looked for The Rainebow is the Embleme or signe of peace The Fire of Anger fury and chastisment And in the two vttermost boundes of humane body which are the Feete and heade the beginning and ending thereof are delineated the two severall commings of Christ to the world whereof the first was of mercy to make peace betweene God ad Man and hence is it that for deuise he beareth on his head the Rainebow of Heauen for signe that the waters of the Deluge the afflictions and fore-passed chastisements were ceased And in the other he shall come as a iudge and hence is it that he is delineated with Feete of fire which signifie inflexible implacable rigour and terrible anger Ignis ante ipsum praecedet said David he shall come casting forth fire abūdantly The Forme and figure of Colum●es import the mighty povver which hee will extend in the rigid execution of his iudgement and iustice The Open booke in his hand doth give vs to vnderstand the eternall sapience eternall wisdome which he hathas God by vertue whereof the office of a iudge is his proper attribute and the fulnes of science of knowledge of wisedome which he hath as man to discerne and discusse the reall grounds of things the demeanor and desert of all the sonnes of Adam and the decreed rate of the Divine law according to the which they are to be adiudged The placing one foote on the Sea and the other on the Land is as much as to say that he surroundeth that he comprehendeth the Sea and land the land and Sea and that there is not ought which can be exempt from his hands nor hide it self from his presence The roaring not vnlike to that of a Lion doth declare the strange anger and inexpressible irefull countenance of the iudge when he shall pronounce the heauy and most dolefull direfull sentence of the condemned And the so Solemne oath doth expresse the infallible certainty which shall be in the full accomplishmēt and cōpleat executiō of that which hee declareth he pronoūceth he preacheth to mākinde that in the dayes of the seauenth Angell when as that dreadfull trumpet shall be heard and horridly resound which shall summon to iudgement all the offspring of Adam time for euer and euer shall cease shal be consumed shall haue its full and vttermost bound and last end and that eternally that everlastingly it shall be wanting to them who oportunely did not benefit themselves by it but deferred their well doing when as they possessed this Time vnto the
