that your Q. hath rare regard of scholers Br. I will endevour to give you brieflie the summe of this booke frō Iohns speach in his owne native maner his Visions for the time praesent and to come The first speech of Iohn sheweth how the Sonne hath received frō the Father a revealing of the Churches case vnto the last iudgement and resurrection and Iohn the Disciple whom the Lord loved is talked with by an Angell and spoken too by Christ And Iohn exclameth what goodnes cōmeth from this revelation that it maketh the Reader happie and he commendeth the worke to seaven Churches of the Lande of Gog where Iewes were scattered by the Macedonians the farthest Westward of their dispersion and were fit instruments to save vs poore heathen towards Sun set as afterward he made our poore coūtrey the ends of the earth the possession of Christ The blessing from the holy Trinitie the Eternall our God the Eternall is most heavenly and the acclamation of glorie to the Sonne from Fs 4. and Exod 19. warning of his iudgement when the second time he commeth in the cloudes as he came Dan. 7. to take manhood and from Zacharie his owne Gospell he teacheth Rome that pearced him handes feet and side that they shall see a Revenger And the Eternitie of the Sonne is manifest in that he is Agr and ω. the beginning and the end who is who was and wil be the Almightie Now he commeth to tell the opportunitie of the Visions He was banished into Patmos a small Iland neare Ephesus recorded onely but by name of Heathen obscure for any further storie Into this as out of the world Iohn of whom the world was not worthie was banished God turning Domitians tyrannie into a blessing that this desert Iland should have the state of the whole world set open Rabbi Elias Certenly this must be a strang blessing of God I am much bent to hear your speach and I consider the Law-giving how it was in the wildernes where none but Gods own should be partakers And as at the West of the Arke as at Sunne-setting of state the Dearest and last-borne Tribes were set Ioseph and Beniamin in Ephraim Beniamin and Manasses to shew that the Lord doeth stretch his power to the furthest off So I deeme that in the furthest quarters of our dispersion West-ward as before Ephraim Beniamin and Manasses GOD would stirre vp his strength and come and helpe vs. Thus farre I can goe after you have drawe me on Br. The basenes of this Iland hath a further signification to teach that the obscure places shall most have the glory of God As all men be wicked naturallie and one pricketh forward another so a great Citie such as Aristides the Rhetor Sophister maketh Rome will soone become a world of wickednes But Patmos now telleth that the Church shal be in the wildernes as in chap. 7. it is not evident by open shew but as in Ierusalem vnder Sedekias Ezek 9. when an Angel sealeth them which belang to God so of vs heathen an Angell sealeth them that bee his when the open face of the Church was gone and the Dragon head and tayle driveth the Church into the wildernes and the beast compounded of Daniels foure once dead and revived but of purple colour and having a Rider a Woman in scarlat drunk with the blood of the Sainctes this drove the Church into the Wildernes through a fea of troubles mixt with fire and fagot Rab.

The first day of the weeke Rab. And why is the Sabbath altered Br. I will tell you large matter brieflie The first day Elohim the adviser and worker of the worldes frame made heaven with the Angels and Earth and Light and the Angels the morning Starres who confirmed by feare and tremblinge their strength which in wisedome and holines was not so perfect but that they might fall these starres showted to see the earth hange in the middes of the ayer and the Waters drawen to their chanels and the roaring Sea threatening to drownd the Lande returning from the shoare as by Gods checkes so when they saw the Cloudes fastened in the skie and all workes that way they showted No lesse at Sunne Moone and Starres and plantes trees hearbes at Foules from Eagle to Wren and fish from Whale to shrimpe and beastes with Crepers from Elephant to Antes they glorified God the creatours Hearing a voice saying Let this be and it stood Now when God the Creatours the Father Sonne and holy Ghost was to make Man that should have knowledge of the Eternal Trinitie he dwelling in light that none can come too speaketh Let vs make man according to our likenes and let them be Lordes over beastes fish and foules and God made Man after his owne image and bringeth all beastes and foules before Adam and he giveth them names expressing their nature as wisely as Angels could And seeing that it was not good for Adam to be alone hee maketh Eue out of his Ribbe and then carieth both into Paradise and giveth commaundement to both in the singular number as they were one flesh Rab● You in the endes of the earth search the Law exactly It must needes be holden that the Woman was made before the Law was given As shee telleth the meaning to be of both ye shall eat of all the trees of the Garden but of the tree of knowledge of evill and good ye shall not eate for the day ye eat of it yee shall die All this was the sixt day And before this commaundement was given God gave his Angells care over man as you hold them spirites sent foorth to minister for them that shall inherite salvation Great armies of Spirites not reverencing so fully as they should Gods counsell though when Man was made they were very good as all creatures yet great armies of millions being left vnto their owne sway hated mans superioritie and kept not their standing but became of poysonfull hatred against God and by leave went into the serpent and deceaved Eua before shee was called Eve and she drew the man to sinne and about time of Eating they ate the tree fruite Generally all tree fruites be MELA Apples And at the Evening God called them to iudgement and pronounceth Eternall cōdemnation against the Devils and all the wicked that shal be borne of that poyson that the serpent breathed into Eve and not regenerated by water of Law and spirit moving vpon it which spirit ye truely say to be the spirit of Christ This sad storie fell the sixt day And then is the promesse that one shall come to be a man according to the kinde whose footesteps and handes Satan the old serpent shall pearce but he shall bruse all his power and destroy his workes The
