The interpretation of the vision shall I show you, and I will open unto you the thing that you have required. Whereas you have spoken of them that are left behind, this is the interpretation: He that shall endure the peril in that time has kept himself: they that be fallen into danger are such as have works, and faith toward the Almighty.
