of_o what_o all_o the_o ancient_n have_v say_v i_o shall_v conclude_v my_o reason_n for_o proof_n of_o the_o first_o observation_n before_o i_o proceed_v to_o the_o second_o observation_n i_o will_v a_o little_a inquire_v what_o may_v be_v the_o reason_n that_o a_o doctrine_n so_o plain_a and_o evident_a in_o scripture_n and_o so_o full_o assent_v to_o and_o believe_v on_o in_o the_o elder_a

say_v yet_o i_o shall_v content_v myself_o with_o these_o few_o thing_n 1._o one_o reason_n may_v be_v from_o that_o care_n which_o in_o the_o primitive_a time_n many_o good_a man_n have_v to_o avoid_v any_o partake_n with_o the_o error_n of_o cerinthus_n and_o other_o gross_a and_o sensual_a heretic_n who_o teach_v that_o the_o thousand_o year_n reign_n of_o the_o saint_n on_o earth_n shall_v be_v spend_v in_o all_o manner_n of_o sensual_a delight_n and_o carnal_a pleasure_n which_o opinion_n be_v so_o monstrous_a in_o it_o srlf_a so_o contrary_a to_o the_o purity_n of_o the_o gospul_n and_o to_o the_o very_a end_n of_o our_o saviour_n come_v which_o be_v to_o bring_v in_o true_a righteousness_n and_o holiness_n luke_o 1.75_o many_o zealous_a and_o well_o mean_v man_n think_v they_o can_v never_o sufficient_o show_v their_o abhorrence_n of_o such_o a_o impious_a conceit_n and_o therefore_o as_o it_o be_v usual_a in_o the_o heat_n of_o opposition_n they_o rather_o choose_v to_o deny_v even_o the_o truth_n itself_o then_o to_o embrace_v it_o as_o it_o be_v clog_v and_o sully_v with_o such_o impure_a and_o vicious_a mixture_n for_o dyonisius_n the_o most_o learned_a of_o all_o those_o who_o in_o elder_a day_n do_v oppose_v this_o doctrine_n proceed_v in_o his_o heat_n and_o earnestness_n as_o positive_o to_o deny_v that_o the_o revelation_n of_o john_n be_v write_v by_o the_o evangelist_n although_o the_o author_n himself_o do_v express_o affirm_v it_o rev._n 1.1.2_o and_o other_o after_o he_o do_v deny_v the_o whole_a book_n to_o be_v canonical_a and_o inspire_a scripture_n whereby_o they_o endeavour_v to_o rob_v the_o church_n of_o as_o divine_a and_o holy_a a_o writing_n and_o of_o as_o much_o tendency_n to_o support_v the_o saint_n under_o their_o suffering_n that_o both_o heathenist_n and_o antichristian_a man_n be_v to_o bring_v upon_o they_o as_o any_o in_o the_o whole_a book_n of_o god_n whatever_o unto_o such_o desperate_a and_o fearful_a shift_n be_v they_o heretofore_o drive_v who_o deny_v the_o visible_a kingdom_n of_o christ_n upon_o earth_n and_o therein_o whole_o elude_v the_o perspicuity_n and_o evidence_n of_o that_o admirable_a and_o soul_n refresh_v prophecy_n 2._o another_o cause_n of_o the_o opposition_n make_v against_o this_o doctrine_n may_v be_v the_o reputation_n which_o the_o learned_a hierome_n gain_v who_o be_v a_o man_n very_o expert_a or_o indeed_o rather_o excellent_a in_o his_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n do_v by_o reason_n of_o that_o prepossession_n and_o prejudice_n which_o the_o error_n of_o some_o have_v occasion_v set_v himself_o with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o vehemence_n to_o censure_v this_o opinion_n and_o his_o authority_n do_v easy_o prevail_v upon_o the_o carelessness_n and_o credulity_n of_o other_o who_o be_v content_a to_o take_v his_o word_n without_o ever_o make_v any_o far_a enquiry_n into_o the_o truth_n themselves_o yet_o even_o that_o learned_a author_n himself_o in_o his_o comment_n upon_o the_o 37th_o of_o ezekiel_n be_v force_v to_o acknowledge_v that_o that_o prophecy_n be_v not_o yet_o fulfil_v and_o he_o confess_v that_o not_o only_a rhe_n jew_n but_o likewise_o many_o christian_a writer_n as_o victorinus_n severus_n tertullian_n lactantius_n who_o write_v in_o latin_a and_o iraeneus_n apollinaris_n justin_n martyr_n who_o write_v in_o greek_a together_o with_o many_o other_o even_o in_o his_o time_n do_v all_o expect_n that_o that_o prophecy_n be_v to_o be_v fulfil_v in_o the_o thousand_o year_n reign_n of_o which_o upon_o that_o chapter_n hierome_n speak_v very_o favourable_o and_o say_v it_o be_v a_o opinion_n not_o to_o be_v reprove_v yet_o he_o continue_v to_o write_v against_o it_o and_o the_o age_n
