A33243	The time of the end shewing first, until the three years and an half are come (which are the last of the 1260 dayes) the prophecies of the Scripture will not be understood, concerning the duration and period of the fourth monarchy and kingdom of the beast : then secondly, when that time shall come ... the knowledge of the end ... will be revealed, by the rise of a little horn, the last apostacy, and the beast slaying the witnesses ... / by John Canne.

bid_v they_o do_v against_o the_o testimony_n of_o jesus_n they_o will_v do_v it_o right_a or_o wrong_n for_o they_o will_v be_v man_n not_o have_v principle_n of_o honesty_n or_o conscience_n and_o by_o this_o mean_n likewise_o he_o will_v prevail_v very_o far_o over_o the_o witness_n viz._n by_o his_o soldier_n for_o those_o man_n if_o he_o command_v they_o will_v banish_v and_o imprison_v any_o of_o the_o lord_n faithful_a servant_n that_o they_o may_v not_o witness_v for_o christ_n against_o the_o beast_n five_o no_o soon_o be_v this_o beast_n ascend_v out_o of_o the_o bottomless_a

but_o to_o require_v all_o man_n upon_o pain_n of_o death_n to_o deny_v christ_n before_o man_n for_o if_o it_o be_v the_o government_n of_o the_o little_a horn_n and_o beast_n in_o the_o three_o year_n and_o half_a not_o to_o witness_v then_o against_o it_o much_o more_o to_o promise_v not_o to_o act_n any_o thing_n against_o it_o be_v no_o other_o than_o to_o deny_v christ_n so_o far_o as_o concern_v a_o generation-testimonie_n but_o howsoever_o this_o be_v so_o yet_o the_o dread_n and_o terror_n of_o such_o a_o edict_n will_v so_o seize_v upon_o people_n of_o low_a and_o poor_a spirit_n as_o they_o will_v choose_v rather_o to_o have_v the_o witness_v of_o christ_n kill_v in_o they_o then_o be_v persecute_v by_o the_o beast_n for_o bear_v any_o public_a witness_n against_o he_o thus_o i_o have_v show_v who_o the_o beast_n be_v and_o the_o witness_n and_o how_o they_o be_v kill_v our_o three_o point_n be_v how_o it_o do_v appear_v their_o lie_a three_o day_n and_o a_o half_a
