be_v direct_v and_o send_v to_o the_o angel_n antipas_n his_o successor_n therefore_o it_o be_v write_v after_o antipas_n be_v dead_a 4._o man_n be_v not_o commend_v in_o letter_n in_o the_o

he_o have_v not_o deny_v the_o faith_n of_o christ_n even_o in_o those_o day_n wherein_o antipas_n be_v slay_v therefore_o this_o commendatory_a letter_n be_v write_v after_o antipas_n be_v dead_a and_o because_o he_o be_v slay_v in_o the_o day_n of_o domitian_n and_o not_o in_o the_o day_n of_o claudius_n therefore_o we_o conclude_v that_o this_o book_n be_v write_v in_o the_o reign_n of_o

it_o be_v that_o paul_n and_o timothy_n be_v forbid_v to_o preach_v in_o asia_n act._n 16._o 6._o but_o now_o the_o gospel_n have_v be_v preach_v unto_o they_o a_o long_a time_n before_o this_o book_n

then_o but_o at_o some_o time_n or_o other_o afterward_o 12._o why_o be_v this_o book_n reveal_v unto_o john_n and_o not_o rather_o unto_o paul_n for_o paul_n be_v the_o apostle_n of_o the_o gentile_n and_o john_n of_o the_o circumcision_n gal._n 2._o 9_o and_o paul_n have_v the_o honour_n to_o convert_v the_o gentile_n to_o the_o christian_a faith_n not_o john_n as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n c._n 18._o 19_o and_o 20._o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v likely_a that_o if_o this_o prophecy_n have_v be_v reveal_v in_o the_o day_n of_o paul_n that_o it_o shall_v have_v be_v reveal_v unto_o he_o and_o that_o paul_n shall_v have_v be_v the_o penman_n of_o it_o and_o not_o john_n which_o we_o know_v be_v otherwise_o and_o therefore_o the_o true_a cause_n why_o this_o
