a_o discourse_n concern_v the_o witness_n relate_v to_o the_o time_n place_n and_o manner_n of_o their_o be_v slay_v by_o william_n hooke_n late_a preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n london_n print_v by_o

know_v also_o that_o there_o be_v many_o difficulty_n attend_v the_o answer_n of_o this_o question_n i_o shall_v therefore_o humble_o lay_v before_o you_o what_o the_o scripture_n speak_v and_o

and_o it_o be_v this_o that_o in_o the_o slaughter_n of_o the_o witness_n there_o be_v that_o which_o carry_v a_o great_a analogy_n and_o proportion_n to_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n the_o

particular_n the_o suffering_n of_o the_o church_n be_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o subject_a matter_n of_o this_o book_n of_o the_o revelation_n especial_o under_o the_o seal_n and_o trumper_n till_o you_o come_v to_o the_o last_o woe_n which_o be_v objectate_v chief_o on_o antichrist_n and_o these_o suffering_n be_v partly_o under_o the_o pagan_a roman_a empire_n partly_o under_o rome_n antichristian_a and_o the_o suffering_n of_o the_o saint_n under_o both_o be_v the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n mystical_a and_o be_v so_o express_v as_o bear_v a_o great_a proportion_n and_o

bear_v of_o a_o woman_n under_o many_o outward_a want_n so_o as_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o church_n be_v common_o 2._o in_o that_o herod_n do_v watch_v to_o destroy_v christ_n so_o loon_n as_o

when_o he_o be_v bear_v be_v soon_o put_v to_o flee_v into_o egypt_n with_o his_o mother_n so_o it_o be_v here_o with_o the_o church_n and_o her_o seed_n they_o flee_v into_o the_o wilderness_n 4._o the_o foresay_a author_n affirm_v that_o the_o time_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o egypt_n be_v three_o year_n and_o a_o half_a which_o in_o the_o mystery_n be_v the_o time_n of_o the_o church_n her_o

his_o mother_n purify_v after_o which_o also_o herod_n seek_v to_o destroy_v the_o young_a child_n in_o and_o about_o bethlehem_n this_o take_v up_o some_o part_n of_o herod_n thirty_o first_o year_n and_o christ_n return_v out_o of_o aegpyt_n immediate_o after_o herod_n death_n who_o reign_v thirty_o four_o year_n 5._o as_o herod_n vent_v his_o malice_n upon_o the_o bethlehemitish_a infant_n after_o the_o flight_n of_o christ_n so_o do_v the_o devil_n here_o vent_v his_o malice_n upon_o the_o church_n her_o seed_n after_o her_o deliverance_n and_o flight_n 6._o as_o christ_n be_v still_o

it_o happen_v to_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o church_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n mystical_a under_o rome_n pagan_a do_v in_o many_o thing_n answer_v to_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n personal_a second_o let_v we_o consider_v the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n mystical_a under_o rome_n antichristian_a and_o we_o shall_v see_v their_o

may_v prove_v so_o but_o i_o much_o doubt_n of_o it_o upon_o these_o ground_n 1._o because_o it_o be_v say_v that_o when_o they_o ascend_v up_o to_o heaven_n in_o a_o cloud_n their_o enemy_n behold_v
