from the fifteenth chapter.

1. “And I saw another great and wonderful sign, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is completed the indignation of God.”] For the wrath of God always strikes the obstinate people with seven plagues, that is, perfectly, as it is said in Leviticus; and these shall be in the last time, when the Church shall have gone out of the midst.  

2. “Standing upon the sea of glass, having harps.”] That is, that they stood stedfastly in the faith upon their baptism, and having their confession in their mouth, that they shall exult in the kingdom before God. But let us return to what is set before us.  

EX CAPITE XV.

0341A

1. Et vidi aliud signum magnum et mirabile, angelos septem, habentes plagas septem novissimas: quia in ipsis consummata est indignatio Dei. Semper enim ira Dei percutit populum contumacem septem plagis; id est perfecte, ut in Levitico dicit (Levit., XXVI, 24): quae in ultimo futurae sunt, cum Ecclesia de medio exierit.

2. Stantes supra mare vitreum, habentes citharas. Id est, super baptismum suum stabiliter in fide constitisse, et confessionem in ore suam habentes, exsultaturos in regno coram Deo. Sed ad proposita revertamur.
