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 ...

be_v stone_n of_o 8_o cubit_n and_o stone_n of_o 10_o cubit_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o these_o stone_n be_v square_v stone_n cut_v as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o text_n according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o hew_a stone_n and_o it_o be_v certain_a also_o that_o the_o cubit_n be_v about_o two_o foot_n and_o a_o half_a long_a if_o therefore_o 10_o cubit_n be_v the_o measure_n of_o the_o

25_o foot_n long_o and_o 25_o foot_n broad_a and_o 25_o foot_n high_a &_o therefore_o do_v contain_v 15625_o solid_a foot_n of_o stone_n which_o be_v above_o 240_o wain_n load_n but_o it_o be_v incredible_a and_o against_o reason_n and_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o story_n that_o these_o stone_n be_v so_o exceed_o great_a and_o it_o must_v also_o follow_v that_o the_o wall_n which_o be_v build_v with_o 3_o row_n of_o such_o stone_n be_v 20_o foot_n thick_a and_o more_o and_o 60_o foot_n high_a and_o upward_o all_o which_o be_v so_o far_o from_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o story_n and_o so_o disagree_v to_o reason_n that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n as_o i_o be_o persuade_v so_o vain_o credulous_a as_o to_o believe_v it_o it_o remain_v therefore_o that_o this_o measure_n be_v to_o be_v

but_o two_o cubit_n long_o and_o two_o cubit_n broad_a and_o two_o cubit_n in_o height_n and_o 3_o rank_n of_o such_o stone_n with_o one_o rank_n of_o cedar_n beam_n will_v make_v a_o wall_n of_o such_o a_o probable_a and_o convenient_a height_n and_o thickness_n as_o be_v requisite_a for_o the_o wall_n which_o be_v mention_v in_o the_o first_o book_n of_o king_n cap._n 6._o and_o the_o 36_o

of_o the_o stone_n itself_o and_o not_o of_o the_o length_n or_o breadth_n or_o thickness_n or_o compass_v of_o it_o so_o also_o in_o the_o other_o place_n 12000_o furlong_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o

by_o man_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o scripture_n vouchsafe_v to_o allude_v unto_o this_o also_o and_o as_o it_o be_v direct_o and_o plain_o to_o point_v at_o it_o and_o this_o may_v in_o some_o sort_n appear_v out_o of_o the_o 43_o chap._n and_o 16_o v._o of_o ezekiel_n but_o most_o evident_o out_o of_o the_o 20_o v._o of_o the_o last_o chap._n of_o ezekiel_n

we_o that_o be_v man_n number_v our_o thing_n by_o ten_o &_o by_o hundred_o &_o by_o thousand_o and_o by_o ten_o of_o thousand_o but_o why_o may_v not_o angel_n rank_a and_o dispose_v unity_n

other_o number_n be_v that_o be_v use_v by_o man_n therefore_o we_o can_v doubt_v but_o the_o computation_n and_o count_v of_o this_o number_n be_v such_o a_o kind_n of_o computation_n as_o be_v usual_a among_o man_n i_o ask_v therefore_o what_o it_o be_v to_o count_v a_o number_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n and_o what_o literal_a and_o grammatical_a sense_n can_v be_v give_v of_o

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
