Men must handle the Word of God with great tenderness of heart, in fear and trembling, but in particular with regard to this book of Revelation. So men should not exclude, add, or change the meaning of anything out of prejudice, nor out of passion, nor out of recklessness, nor out of willful ignorance, nor out of lack of prayer or research, even less out of pride. For the judgments upon these will be terrible.
