Revelation14:6
Verſe 6. And I ſaw another Angel] This is held to be John Wicliffe, who wrote more then two hundred volumes againſt the Pope; and was a means of much good to many. The Lady Anne, wife to King Richard the ſecond, ſiſter to Wenceſ[illegible: 1 letter]ans King of Bohemia, by living here was made acquainted with the Goſpel: whence alſo many Bohemians coming hither, convey'd Wicliffes books into Bohemia, whereby a good foundation was laid for the following Reformation.
In the midst of heaven] Not in faſtigio coeli, in the height of heaven, as ſome render it; but alow rather, and as it were in the mid-heaven, becauſe of the imperfection of his doctrine, when it was firſt divulged.
Having the everlasting Gospel] The ancient truth, no new Doctrine. A Gentleman being asked by a Papiſt, Where was your Religion before Luther? anſwered, In the Bible, where yours never was.
