ill_o with_o the_o saint_n likewise_o two_o may_v be_v join_v into_o one_o and_o one_o may_v be_v break_v into_o two_o so_o they_o have_v vary_v in_o several_a time_n and_o age_n yet_o still_o they_o have_v stand_v and_o at_o the_o least_o the_o number_n of_o ten_o have_v be_v keep_v up_o and_o though_o they_o have_v make_v war_n against_o the_o lamb_n and_o have_v be_v punish_v for_o so_o do_v yet_o the_o lamb_n shall_v overcome_v they_o another_o way_n then_o by_o destroy_v they_o even_o by_o win_a ground_n upon_o they_o so_o as_o where_o you_o see_v jesus_n christ_n have_v take_v foot_v in_o any_o one_o of_o these_o kingdom_n by_o such_o a_o way_n of_o conquest_n as_o in_o we_o he_o have_v do_v a_o second_o time_n for_o double_a security_n stand_v that_o kingdom_n shall_v till_o you_o see_v rome_n down_o now_o the_o next_o thing_n i_o desire_v you_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o in_o the_o word_n be_v the_o reason_n why_o that_o christ_n will_v thus_o overcome_v they_o and_o preserve_v they_o for_o say_z say_z the_o holy_a ghost_n those_o that_o be_v with_o he_o namely_o in_o these_o ten_o kingdom_n and_o so_o member_n thereof_o be_v call_v and_o faithful_a and_o choose_v therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o lamb_n shall_v work_v these_o kingdom_n about_o and_o win_v ground_n upon_o they_o and_o shall_v cause_v they_o at_o length_n to_o hate_v the_o whore_n and_o therefore_o they_o shall_v stand_v till_o the_o whore_n be_v ruin_v and_o how_o long_o after_o he_o only_o know_v that_o have_v set_v they_o up_o it_o have_v be_v one_o great_a outward_a evidence_n to_o my_o faith_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o what_o be_v in_o this_o particular_a foretell_v in_o this_o book_n so_o distinct_o shall_v so_o come_v to_o pass_v as_o we_o

break_v into_o these_o kingdom_n and_o they_o have_v give_v their_o power_n to_o the_o beast_n and_o we_o know_v how_o root_v the_o power_n of_o the_o beast_n once_o be_v in_o all_o these_o kingdom_n so_o as_o who_o can_v make_v war_n with_o the_o beast_n yet_o we_o have_v likewise_o see_v the_o lamb_n have_v overcome_v many_o of_o they_o especial_o these_o northern_a kingdom_n where_o he_o have_v set_v up_o his_o temple_n he_o have_v overcome_v they_o and_o he_o win_v ground_n upon_o we_o every_o day_n and_o work_v we_o up_o age_n after_o age_n to_o a_o far_a reformation_n to_o more_o light_n and_o holiness_n and_o so_o he_o will_v do_v till_o he_o have_v perfect_o overcome_v every_o popish_a principle_n out_o of_o they_o we_o see_v all_o this_o do_v we_o see_v likewise_o all_o these_o

these_o thing_n we_o have_v see_v fulfil_v therefore_o i_o believe_v this_o shall_v be_v fulfil_v too_o that_o these_o kingdom_n shall_v still_o continue_v where_o god_n have_v faithful_a call_v and_o

in_o the_o end_n it_o lie_v you_o see_v in_o this_o that_o they_o that_o be_v with_o the_o lamb_n be_v faithful_a call_v and_o choose_v he_o put_v the_o very_a reason_n of_o it_o upon_o this_o the_o
