antichristian_a to_o clear_v this_o latter_a the_o former_a be_v without_o question_n and_o be_v it_o not_o so_o when_o because_o of_o these_o plague_n you_o have_v 7._o verse_n 7._o antichrist_n in_o

there_o be_v none_o other_o in_o all_o this_o prophecy_n that_o do_v resemble_v they_o save_v only_o the_o vial_n it_o remain_v a_o unshaken_a truth_n the_o plague_n here_o mention_v be_v no_o other_o

the_o letter_n namely_o that_o indeed_o and_o in_o the_o letter_n the_o witness_n shall_v turn_v water_n into_o blood_n but_o as_o we_o understand_v their_o destroy_v their_o enemy_n with_o fire_n their_o shut_v heaven_n that_o it_o rain_v not_o mystical_o before_o so_o must_v we_o understand_v their_o turn_a water_n into_o blood_n also_o but_o because_o i_o have_v already_o show_v these_o plague_n be_v no_o other_o than_o those_o of_o the_o vial_n the_o better_a to_o compass_v the_o meaning_n it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o for_o we_o to_o turn_v over_o to_o the_o 16_o chapter_n of_o this_o prophecy_n where_o the_o vial_n be_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n profess_o mention_v where_o if_o we_o find_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o turn_n water_n into_o blood_n and_o smite_v the_o earth_n with_o plague_n there_o we_o shall_v clear_o see_v what_o to_o understand_v by_o they_o here_o also_o they_o be_v all_o one_o only_o here_o but_o glance_v at_o there_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n profess_o and_o at_o large_a discover_v in_o that_o 16_o chapter_n therefore_o for_o i_o turn_v over_o thither_o we_o find_v that_o upon_o the_o pour_v forth_o of_o the_o second_o and_o three_o vial_n the_o water_n be_v turn_v into_o blood_n hoth_v these_o i_o conceive_v be_v here_o point_v at_o for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n seem_v in_o this_o place_n to_o give_v a_o touch_n upon_o the_o vial_n sum_v they_o up_o brief_o under_o two_o head_n viz._n either_o plague_n on_o the_o water_n or_o plague_n on_o the_o eatrh_n and_o so_o to_o be_v apprehend_v thrust_v as_o many_o as_o will_v fall_v under_o a_o head_n together_o there_o be_v two_o vial_n that_o will_v come_v under_o this_o head_n of_o turn_v water_n into_o blood_n who_o do_v not_o ready_o conceive_v both_o these_o vial_n must_v hereby_o be_v hereby_o signify_v so_o that_o it_o will_v be_v needful_a we_o inquire_v the_o meaning_n of_o they_o both_o to_o begin_v therefore_o with_o the_o second_o vial_n the_o first_o of_o those_o that_o turn_v water_n into_o blood_n which_o in_o that_o 3_o verse_n of_o the_o 16_o chapter_n we_o find_v be_v pour_v out_o upon_o the_o sea_n and_o the_o effect_n it_o become_v as_o the_o blood_n of_o a_o

to_o speak_v to_o these_o vial_n be_v then_o pour_v forth_o when_o all_o the_o popish_a doctrine_n be_v gather_v into_o one_o by_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n afterward_o by_o bellarmine_n and_o other_o the_o godly_a minister_n of_o the_o reform_a church_n by_o their_o writing_n discover_v all_o that_o sea_n of_o of_o popish_a doctrine_n to_o be_v but_o as_o the_o blood_n of_o a_o dead_a man_n no_o live_a blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n discoverable_a in_o it_o all_o and_o those_o that_o live_v no_o other_o life_n then_o what_o they_o draw_v from_o those_o corrupt_a doctrine_n to_o be_v in_o a_o dead_a damnable_a and_o undo_v condition_n this_o the_o second_o vial._n the_o three_o be_v pour_v forth_o upon_o the_o river_n and_o fountain_n at_o the_o 4_o verse_n and_o the_o effect_n be_v these_o become_v blood_n also_o and_o then_o be_v this_o vial_n pour_v forth_o say_v interpreter_n who_o i_o again_o refer_v to_o when_o in_o the_o time_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n this_o state_n

this_o vial_n upon_o the_o antichristian_a water_n and_o they_o become_v blood_n by_o this_o reckon_n and_o so_o to_o bring_v all_o home_n to_o the_o text_n then_o be_v the_o witness_n say_v to_o

the_o thing_n we_o so_o industrious_o prove_v before_o when_o have_v but_o mention_v two_o vial_n we_o find_v the_o godly_a magistrate_n and_o minister_n of_o the_o reform_a church_n who_o all_o
