And Enoch also the seuenth from Adam, prophecied of such, saying, Beholde, the Lord commeth with thousands of his Saints,

17 But do ye, beloved, remember the words which were before spoken by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
But, yee beloued, remember the wordes which were spoken before of the Apostles of our Lord Iesus Christ,
