A55520	An interpretation of the number 666 wherein, not onely the manner, how this number ought to be interpreted, is clearely proved and demonstrated : but it is also shewed [that] this number is an exquisite and perfect character, truly, exactly, and essentially describing that state of government to [which] all other notes of Antichrist doe agree : with all knowne objections solidly and fully answered [that] can be materially made against it / by Francis Potter ...	Potter, Francis, 1594-1678.	1642 (1642)	Wing P3028; ESTC R40657	113,466	230

the_o same_o kind_n that_o other_o number_n be_v which_o be_v use_v by_o we_o that_o be_v man_n and_o inhabitant_n of_o this_o world_n for_o all_o number_v be_v not_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n

these_o follow_v namely_o either_o by_o addition_n or_o substraction_n or_o multiplication_n or_o division_n or_o by_o the_o extraction_n of_o root_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a that_o the_o number_n of_o the_o beast_n must_v be_v count_v according_a to_o one_o of_o these_o kind_n of_o computation_n but_o in_o all_o these_o kind_n of_o computation_n and_o in_o every_o one_o

by_o it_o beside_o the_o number_n itself_o which_o be_v name_v and_o express_v and_o this_o inference_n be_v so_o evident_a &_o necessary_a that_o some_o learned_a interpreter_n although_o they_o
