1_o esdr._n 5._o 37._o sure_o this_o prophecy_n be_v for_o we_o for_o they_o be_v hinder_v for_o a_o long_a time_n and_o this_o show_v you_o that_o since_o the_o foundation_n be_v lay_v in_o 1653._o

the_o promise_n of_o glory_n isa._n 58._o 13_o 14._o here_o and_o for_o ever_o isa._n 56._o now_o you_o will_v ask_v i_o how_o be_v the_o foundation_n lay_v and_o wherein_o have_v the_o king_n party_n any_o freedom_n in_o 1653._o or_o in_o what_o manner_n do_v it_o resemble_v cyrus_n his_o decree_n for_o the_o jew_n first_o i_o answer_v that_o in_o 1653._o by_o all_o account_n the_o foundation_n

zach._n 4._o 10._o there_o come_v unto_o i_o a_o gentleman_n a_o great_a historian_n about_o two_o year_n ago_o who_o do_v affirm_v that_o cromwell_n be_v cyrus_n and_o that_o he_o will_v restore_v

can_v wish_v all_o the_o king_n party_n be_v of_o his_o temper_n and_o mind_n true_o i_o believe_v that_o cromwell_n be_v not_o only_o cyrus_n but_o will_v also_o prove_v zerubbabel_n that_o do_v

therefore_o be_v not_o like_o the_o jew_n that_o say_v can_v there_o come_v any_o good_a thing_n out_o of_o nazareth_n john_n 1._o 46._o for_o you_o see_v jesus_n the_o most_o bless_a come_v from_o thence_o john_n 19_o 19_o wherefore_o let_v not_o the_o independent_a think_v but_o that_o much_o good_a may_v come_v to_o they_o from_o the_o king_n charles_n steward_n and_o let_v not_o the_o king_n
