For behold, the Lord commeth out of his place, and will come downe, and tread vpon the high places of the earth.
* 1.1A Staying in describing and setting out of the maiestie of God, whom he citeth as a witnes of his doctrine, to the end that this presence may the more stirre vp both the Iewes and also the Israe∣lites to heare, and to repent, whiles they vnderstand that God him∣selfe
is a witnes of these threatnings against them, and also of their wickednes.* 1.2 And here by the figure Hypotypôsis this comming forth of God out of his temple (whether you will haue it to be heauen, as Psal. 11. it is taken, or the temple of Ierusalem, as I said before) for both sences agree with this place) is most liuely represented, as if in a maner it were seene to be done with the eye, to terrifie wicked men, and to awaken the hypocrites. And moreouer both his go∣ing and comming is described full of feare and Maiestie, as name∣ly who marcheth warlike vpon the high places of the earth, as be∣ing higher and aboue all those places, and carrying with him no∣thing that is lowe and base.
A staying in the setting out of the maiestie of God full of terror, and feare.
The figure Hy∣potypôsis what it is, see Amos cap. 8. vers. 12
