John Trapp on Revelation 14:13

Verſe 13. Avoice from heaven] That voice of Chriſt, Joh. 5. 24. & 8.51.

Write, Bleſſed are the dead] Though by the Pope accurſed and pronounced damned heretikes.

Which die in the Lord] Eſpecially, if for the Lord: which is (ſaid father Latimer) the greateſt promotion in the world, ſuch as is not granted to any Angel in heaven.

From henceforth] As well as heretofore in thoſe primitive perſecutions.

Rest from their labours] The ſleep of theſe labourers, oh how ſweet is it! Quale ſopor feſſis in gramine—they get the goal, they enter the haven,

Italiam ſocij laeto clamore ſalutant.

And their works follow them] They die not with them, as Hortenſius his Orations did. Mors privare potest opibus, non operibus.
