the_o 1000_o year_n be_v finish_v and_o those_o 1000_o year_n begin_v not_o till_o christ_n come_n and_o his_o destroy_v the_o man_n of_o sin_n but_o how_o that_o will_v be_v prove_v that_o after_o

contrary_n to_o the_o text_n which_o say_v the_o first_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v put_v away_o before_o the_o descend_v of_o the_o jerusalem_n and_o gog_n and_o magog_n be_v destroy_v by_o fire_n from_o heaven_n before_o the_o old_a heaven_n and_o earth_n pass_v away_o rev._n 20.10_o 11._o therefore_o gog_n and_o magog_n be_v not_o in_o be_v after_o the_o new_a jerusalem_n this_o be_v my_o

gog_n and_o magog_n can_v be_v the_o same_o enemy_n with_o the_o beast_n and_o false_a prophet_n ans_fw-fr they_o be_v not_o formal_o the_o same_o but_o material_o they_o be_v as_o the_o old_a and_o

material_o the_o same_o for_o the_o dragon_n be_v a_o roman_a and_o so_o be_v the_o beast_n therefore_o it_o be_v but_o the_o shift_a of_o a_o form_n in_o like_a manner_n inter_v preter_n hold_v the_o

42_o month_n all_o thing_n be_v manage_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o beast_n though_o as_o i_o have_v hint_v from_o the_o year_n 1300._o the_o devil_n be_v loose_v in_o he_o and_o act_v as_o a_o

but_o act_v now_o in_o another_o rage_n and_o spirit_n and_o in_o the_o very_a name_n of_o the_o dragon_n and_o to_o confirm_v this_o let_v it_o be_v consider_v that_o the_o cast_n of_o the_o beast_n and_o the_o false_a prophet_n into_o the_o lake_n be_v rather_o a_o damn_v of_o their_o place_n their_o politic_a and_o public_a capacity_n and_o interest_n than_o a_o destroy_n of_o their_o person_n

or_o any_o other_o enemy_n yet_o ezekiel_n and_o other_o of_o the_o prophet_n prophecy_n of_o this_o new_a jerusalem_n and_o this_o be_v a_o certain_a truth_n that_o the_o whole_a system_n and_o

the_o fullness_n of_o time_n for_o this_o cause_n because_o it_o be_v the_o time_n not_o of_o give_v forth_o new_a prophecy_n but_o of_o fulfil_v the_o old_a and_o therefore_o the_o book_n of_o
themselves_o of_o the_o great_a work_n of_o god_n to_o come_v have_v constant_o lead_v they_o out_o of_o the_o way_n so_o that_o they_o have_v not_o know_v those_o work_n when_o they_o have_v be_v

of_o temptation_n his_o issue_n and_o conquest_n ordinary_o with_o a_o sharp_a conflict_n either_o at_o or_o before_o death_n so_o the_o church_n in_o like_a manner_n at_o her_o first_o come_v forth_o

that_o she_o get_v ground_n every_o day_n and_o be_v ready_a to_o be_v crown_v with_o a_o absolute_a victory_n and_o rest_n than_o the_o devil_n be_v loose_v rage_n and_o foam_n as_o he_o do_v in_o

whereunto_o in_o the_o 3d_o place_n have_v be_v the_o experience_n of_o the_o saint_n all_o along_o as_o if_o they_o be_v all_o ask_v one_o by_o one_o ho_o they_o get_v to_o heaven_n or_o to_o
