he_o tell_v you_o all_z that_o dwell_v upon_o the_o earth_n shall_v worship_v he_o who_o name_n be_v not_o write_v in_o the_o lamb_n book_n of_o life_n and_o the_o world_n be_v never_o so_o happy_a

his_o number_n so_o that_o the_o number_n be_v not_o his_o name_n it_o be_v a_o distinct_a thing_n from_o the_o name_n as_o the_o adjunct_n be_v from_o the_o subject_n then_o it_o will_v follow_v i_o think_v but_o i_o refer_v it_o to_o man_n of_o better_a judgement_n it_o can_v be_v that_o either_o latinus_n shall_v be_v the_o number_n of_o the_o name_n or_o ecclesia_fw-la catholica_fw-la the_o

the_o number_n of_o the_o beast_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o the_o number_n of_o the_o lamb_n be_v another_o thing_n for_o enough_o this_o be_v not_o the_o number_n of_o the_o beast_n follower_n six_o
