again_o it_o be_v say_v in_o daniel_n that_o he_o shall_v wear_v out_o the_o saint_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v give_v into_o his_o hand_n until_o a_o time_n time_n and_o half_a a_o time_n dan._n 7._o 25._o but_o now_o the_o saint_n be_v never_o weary_v out_o so_o long_o together_o neither_o be_v they_o ever_o give_v into_o the_o enemy_n hand_n so_o long_a a_o time_n as_o 1260_o year_n nor_o ever_o will_v be_v and_o three_o there_o be_v a_o analogical_a proportion_n observable_a in_o these_o time_n for_o time_n be_v double_a in_o quantity_n to_o time_n and_o time_n be_v double_a in_o quantity_n to_o half_a a_o time_n but_o now_o if_o by_o time_n we_o understand_v a_o thousand_o and_o by_o time_n two_o hundred_o and_o by_o half_a a_o time_n sixty_o we_o destroy_v the_o proportion_n for_o by_o this_o reckon_n time_n be_v more_o than_o time_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v less_o by_o half_n and_o half_a a_o time_n be_v less_o than_o half_a a_o time_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v just_a so_o much_o you_o will_v say_v that_o there_o be_v the_o like_a inconvenience_n in_o apply_v this_o number_n to_o 1260_o day_n i_o answer_v no_o for_o time_n time_n and_o half_a a_o time_n be_v not_o 1260_o day_n formal_o but_o virtual_o neither_o be_v it_o so_o many_o day_n divisim_fw-la but_o conjunctim_fw-la my_o meaning_n be_v time_n be_v not_o a_o thousand_o day_n time_n two_o hundred_o day_n and_o half_a a_o time_n sixty_o day_n but_o time_n be_v a_o year_n time_n two_o year_n and_o half_a a_o time_n be_v half_a a_o year_n that_o be_v three_o year_n and_o a_o half_a in_o the_o total_a now_o because_o in_o three_o year_n and_o a_o half_a there_o be_v just_a 1260_o day_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o these_o time_n be_v even_o in_o the_o total_a but_o not_o in_o each_o several_a part_n as_o have_v be_v show_v and_o four_a to_o make_v these_o time_n of_o daniel_n to_o amount_v to_o 1260_o year_n they_o take_v a_o strange_a course_n for_o they_o turn_v year_n into_o day_n and_o day_n into_o year_n again_o first_o they_o turn_v three_o year_n and_o a_o half_a into_o 1260_o day_n and_o this_o they_o may_v do_v for_o it_o be_v all_o one_o in_o the_o total_a but_o this_o will_v not_o content_v they_o but_o when_o they_o have_v so_o do_v they_o turn_v these_o day_n into_o so_o many_o year_n and_o say_v that_o 1260_o day_n be_v 1260_o year_n and_o this_o they_o may_v not_o do_v for_o it_o be_v not_o all_o one_o in_o the_o total_a other_o take_v a_o strange_a course_n and_o by_o time_n time_n and_o half_a a_o time_n they_o understand_v three_o year_n and_o a_o half_a as_o we_o do_v but_o then_o by_o year_n they_o mean_v mystical_a year_n and_o what_o that_o be_v they_o do_v not_o tell_v we_o neither_o can_v they_o tell_v we_o for_o
