20 The sun shall be turned into darkness , and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come▪

This agrees with the other words in the fore-cited Prophecy, Ioel 2.31. How these amazing signs shall be fulfilled, whether literally, and by what means; Or whether onely, that the consternation and dread upon men shall be so great, as expecting the change of the whole frame of nature; is not so material for us to know, as it is to be always prepared for it.

[non-Latin text not transcribed], Manifest and illustrious days; and it may be taken in a comfortable sense, and will be a comfortable day indeed, to all that prepared[illegible: 1 letter]y wait for it; for 'tis the day of the Lord, 'tis Christ's day, in which he will be magnified over his enemies, and in his friends, children, and servants.
