the_o second_o vial_n some_o of_o they_o affirm_v be_v pour_v forth_o by_o the_o preach_a of_o luther_n and_o those_o worthy_a witness_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o day_n the_o three_o vial_n be_v pour_v

rather_o incline_v to_o mr._n mede_n and_o dr._n more_o but_o to_o proceed_v our_o late_a french_a author_n peter_n jurieu_o positive_o affirm_v that_o six_o of_o the_o vial_n be_v already_o pour_v forth_o and_o that_o we_o be_v under_o the_o seven_o which_o will_v effect_v the_o final_a ruin_n of_o the_o papistry_n or_o church_n of_o rome_n if_o i_o mistake_v he_o not_o one_o reason_n why_o he_o do_v thus_o believe_v be_v because_o the_o vial_n signify_v seven_o period_n of_o time_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v distinguish_v one_o from_o another_o 2_o part_n p._n 68_o 69._o as_o the_o seven_o seal_n and_o seven_o trumpet_n do_v signify_v seven_o period_n which_o succeed_v one_o another_o and_o he_o conclude_v that_o the_o period_n describe_v by_o every_o vial_n be_v each_o of_o they_o more_o than_o one_o age_n so_o that_o say_v he_o if_o there_o be_v but_o two_o or_o three_o of_o they_o yet_o to_o be_v pour_v out_o we_o shall_v have_v four_o or_o five_o hundred_o year_n to_o

between_o the_o vial_n and_o plague_n viz._n say_v the_o vial_n signify_v the_o period_n of_o time_n the_o plague_n signify_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n which_o fall_v out_o during_o the_o period_n which_o if_o it_o be_v grant_v yet_o why_o must_v every_o period_n contain_v a_o 100_o year_n or_o at_o least_o as_o he_o intimate_v 50_o year_n or_o christian_n 70_o the_o first_o plague_n of_o the_o
