be_v so_o that_o this_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v that_o this_o satan_n the_o devil_n shall_v deceive_v the_o nation_n in_o all_o the_o four_o quarter_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o their_o eternal_a

the_o saint_n be_v call_v by_o the_o spirit_n the_o belove_a city_n so_o that_o this_o belove_a city_n must_v needs_o be_v compass_v about_o because_o the_o saint_n do_v live_v in_o the_o four_o

destruction_n of_o mystery_n babylon_n and_o of_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o saint_n yet_o i_o think_v it_o something_o necessary_a to_o open_v the_o meaning_n of_o gog_n and_o magog_n because_o i_o have_v not_o meet_v with_o those_o word_n before_o neither_o have_v speak_v of_o they_o in_o that_o book_n aforesaid_a but_o as_o for_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o matter_n in_o this_o 20_o chapter_n i_o have_v say_v as_o much_o as_o need_v be_v say_v of_o it_o in_o one_o place_n or_o other_o in_o this_o treatise_n and_o in_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o eleven_o of_o the_o revelation_n and_o to_o repeat_v one_o thing_n twice_o over_z will_v be_v needless_a and_o as_o for_o the_o chief_a head_n contain_v in_o the_o 21_o 22_o chapter_n i_o have_v open_v they_o in_o the_o say_a

19_o verse_n and_o so_o conclude_v this_o epistle_n chap._n lxxxi_o these_o word_n of_o john_n have_v be_v a_o occasion_n of_o many_o persecute_v and_o ignorant_a man_n and_o woman_n spirit_n to_o

the_o spirit_n of_o revelation_n and_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n more_o than_o all_o the_o man_n in_o the_o world_n beside_o in_o that_o when_o thing_n have_v be_v declare_v and_o scripture_n

these_o word_n why_o the_o four_o beast_n and_o the_o elder_n do_v sing_v a_o new_a song_n observe_v it_o be_v call_v a_o new_a song_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o old_a song_n as_o the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n be_v call_v the_o new_a testament_n and_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n be_v call_v the_o old_a testament_n so_o likewise_o there_o be_v the_o song_n of_o moses_n and_o of_o the_o lamb_n that_o be_v the_o song_n of_o the_o lamb._n now_o the_o song_n of_o moses_n may_v be_v call_v the_o old_a song_n or_o the_o first_o song_n because_o moses_n the_o prophet_n and_o elder_n of_o israel_n and_o saint_n under_o that_o testament_n i_o say_v they_o give_v praise_v honour_n and_o glory_n unto_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v god_n the_o father_n and_o creator_n and_o as_o he_o be_v the_o creator_n he_o bless_v they_o with_o temporal_a blessing_n and_o temporal_a deliverance_n so_o that_o moses_n and_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n sing_v praise_n unto_o god_n for_o his_o wonderful_a work_n which_o he_o have_v wrought_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o moses_n as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o the_o scripture_n in_o the_o song_n of_o moses_n how_o wonderful_o he_o do_v praise_n honour_n and_o magnify_v the_o god_n of_o israel_n who_o have_v get_v himself_o a_o great_a and_o terrible_a name_n among_o the_o heathen_a and_o this_o be_v call_v the_o song_n of_o moses_n or_o the_o old_a or_o first_o song_n because_o it_o be_v the_o first_o manifestation_n of_o god_n as_o he_o be_v the_o creator_n for_o moses_n be_v the_o first_o man_n that_o give_v we_o to_o know_v any_o difference_n of_o the_o god_n of_o israel_n from_o the_o god_n of_o the_o heathen_a and_o this_o manifestation_n as_o moses_n give_v we_o be_v that_o we_o may_v know_v god_n as_o he_o be_v the_o creator_n and_o do_v deliver_v his_o people_n in_o a_o more_o wonderful_a manner_n than_o any_o other_o heathen_a god_n can_v do_v and_o in_o this_o regard_n moses_n and_o the_o elder_n of_o israel_n give_v praise_v honour_n and_o glory_n unto_o the_o god_n of_o jacob_n he_o deliver_v they_o out_o of_o so_o many_o temporal_a danger_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o bless_v they_o with_o many_o temporal_a blessing_n which_o cause_v this_o song_n of_o moses_n to_o be_v sing_v by_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o in_o this_o regard_n the_o song_n of_o moses_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v old_a or_o the_o first_o song_n he_o be_v the_o first_o commissionated_a man_n to_o write_v that_o which_o we_o call_v the_o old_a testament_n therefore_o the_o song_n of_o moses_n may_v be_v call_v a_o old_a song_n because_o the_o song_n of_o the_o lamb_n be_v more_o new_a for_o redemption_n be_v after_o creation_n therefore_o call_v a_o new_a song_n it_o be_v call_v a_o new_a song_n in_o relation_n to_o a_o new_a condition_n as_o the_o song_n of_o moses_n be_v with_o relation_n to_o temporal_a blessing_n as_o aforesaid_a but_o this_o new_a song_n of_o the_o lamb_n be_v with_o relation_n to_o spiritual_a and_o eternal_a blessing_n so_o that_o john_n in_o his_o vision_n be_v sensible_a upon_o what_o account_n this_o new_a song_n be_v sing_v and_o he_o see_v in_o the_o vision_n the_o four_o beast_n and_o the_o four_o and_o twenty_o elder_n fall_v down_o before_o the_o lamb._n have_v every_o one_o of_o they_o harp_n and_o golden_a vial_n full_a of_o odour_n which_o be_v the_o prayer_n of_o saint_n

give_v a_o touch_n of_o it_o in_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o thirteen_o chapter_n where_o i_o have_v show_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o dragon_n seven_o head_n and_o ten_o horn_n and_o the_o beast_n seven_o head_n and_o ten_o horn_n the_o meaning_n be_v this_o the_o dragon_n seven_o head_n do_v signify_v seven_o king_n beside_o himself_o and_o the_o beast_n that_o the_o dragon_n do_v give_v his_o seat_n power_n and_o authority_n unto_o who_o have_v seven_o head_n and_o ten_o horn_n i_o declare_v his_o own_o head_n be_v one_o of_o the_o seven_o and_o the_o first_o head_n of_o the_o seven_o that_o do_v exercise_v the_o power_n of_o the_o dragon_n so_o that_o this_o dragon_n herod_n that_o persecute_v the_o woman_n he_o be_v that_o beast_n that_o be_v and_o be_v not_o that_o

that_o be_v he_o be_v dead_a and_o the_o other_o beast_n that_o have_v seven_o head_n and_o ten_o horn_n he_o be_v that_o scarlet-coloured_n beast_n that_o the_o woman_n do_v sit_v upon_o that_o be_v all_o the_o seven_o head_n that_o this_o beast_n have_v his_o own_o be_v one_o they_o do_v exercise_v the_o power_n of_o the_o dragon_n in_o persecute_v the_o saint_n which_o be_v the_o remnant_n of_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n who_o the_o dragon_n do_v persecute_v now_o this_o be_v to_o be_v mind_v by_o the_o reader_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o dragon_n it_o do_v remain_v in_o the_o seed_n of_o reason_n that_o be_v in_o those_o seven_o head_n or_o seven_o beast_n though_o the_o dragon_n which_o be_v the_o eight_o be_v dead_a as_o to_o his_o outward_a appearance_n neither_o do_v that_o visible_a body_n of_o the_o dragon_n appear_v any_o more_o but_o that_o spirit_n of_o his_o seed_n it_o be_v in_o his_o son_n seed_n so_o that_o the_o same_o spirit_n of_o the_o dragon_n it_o
