wit_n the_o three_o record_n in_o earth_n water_n blood_n and_o spirit_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o commission_n of_o moses_n the_o commission_n of_o jesus_n and_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o

that_o the_o apostle_n know_v the_o path_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o path_n of_o the_o gospel_n also_o so_o that_o they_o have_v proof_n from_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n that_o they_o be_v choose_v to_o bear_v witness_n unto_o jesus_n and_o that_o worship_v set_v up_o by_o they_o when_o as_o moses_n have_v no_o book_n to_o proof_n he_o be_v choose_v of_o god_n but_o he_o have_v the_o power_n of_o miracle_n to_o prove_v he_o be_v send_v of_o god_n and_o the_o prophet_n after_o he_o have_v his_o writing_n to_o prove_v that_o god_n have_v appear_v to_o moses_n so_o that_o the_o prophet_n can_v go_v no_o further_o than_o moses_n and_o he_o that_o can_v trace_v the_o step_n of_o god_n until_o he_o come_v to_o moses_n he_o be_v sure_a to_o find_v god_n there_o but_o if_o any_o man_n go_v any_o further_a he_o can_v never_o find_v god_n at_o all_o so_o that_o the_o apostle_n advantage_n be_v great_a in_o that_o they_o have_v two_o path_n to_o walk_v in_o when_o as_o the_o

their_o advantage_n be_v great_a three_o the_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n have_v advantage_n above_o they_o both_o in_o this_o respect_n in_o that_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v spiritual_a without_o any_o outward_a ordinance_n so_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o faith_n or_o revelation_n can_v walk_v through_o the_o path_n of_o the_o law_n and_o can_v find_v that_o god_n be_v there_o but_o he_o be_v not_o there_o now_o second_o this_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n can_v walk_v through_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o do_v find_v that_o god_n be_v there_o but_o he_o be_v not_o there_o now_o three_o so_o that_o god_n be_v walk_v now_o in_o the_o three_o path_n or_o three_o record_n on_o earth_n even_o the_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o there_o be_v no_o 〈◊〉_d for_o any_o man_n to_o find_v god_n but_o there_o for_o there_o be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o true_a god_n and_o the_o true_a interpretation_n of_o the_o scripture_n so_o that_o this_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n it_o have_v a_o great_a advantage_n of_o the_o other_o two_o aforesaid_a in_o that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v a_o high_a knowledge_n then_o

of_o death_n and_o be_v slay_v by_o they_o and_o these_o seven_o church_n have_v their_o power_n and_o strength_n to_o suffer_v from_o christ_n the_o lamb_n slay_v they_o walk_v in_o his_o step_n in_o

that_o can_v not_o bow_v down_o to_o the_o superstition_n which_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o pope_n do_v set_v up_o so_o that_o it_o will_v be_v too_o tedious_a to_o relate_v what_o plague_n have_v

john_n say_v he_o see_v another_o sign_n great_a and_o marvellous_a it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v another_o sign_n because_o he_o speak_v in_o the_o chapter_n before_o much_o of_o that_o temporal_a

another_o sign_n in_o heaven_n great_a and_o marvellous_a it_o be_v great_a and_o marvellous_a indeed_o for_o he_o see_v the_o utter_a destruction_n and_o end_n of_o the_o world_n therefore_o call_v they_o the_o seven_o last_o plague_n before_o upon_o the_o other_o babylon_n but_o these_o seven_o plague_n be_v the_o last_o plague_n that_o be_v to_o be_v pour_v out_o upon_o the_o earth_n
