at_o the_o year_n 1517_o in_o the_o former_a century_n indeed_o it_o be_v very_o agreeable_a to_o see_v how_o antichrist_n then_o lose_v half_o of_o his_o empire_n and_o how_o that_o half_n which_o then_o become_v reform_v have_v be_v upon_o many_o account_n little_o more_o than_o half-reformed_n but_o by_o this_o computaion_n we_o must_v needs_o be_v within_o a_o very_a few_o year_n of_o such_o a_o mortification_n to_o befall_v the_o see_n of_o rome_n as_o that_o antichrist_n who_o have_v late_o be_v plant_v what_o prove_v no_o more_o last_v then_o a_o tabernacle_n in_o the_o glorious_a holy_a mountain_n between_o the_o sea_n must_v quick_o come_v to_o his_o end_n and_o none_o shall_v help_v he_o so_o then_o within_o a_o very_a little_a while_n we_o shall_v see_v the_o devil_n strip_v of_o the_o grand_a yea_o the_o last_o vehicle_n wherein_o he_o will_v be_v capable_a to_o abuse_v our_o world_n the_o fire_n with_o which_o that_o beast_n be_v to_o be_v consume_v will_v so_o singe_v the_o wing_n of_o the_o devil_n too_o that_o he_o shall_v no_o more_o set_v the_o affair_n of_o this_o world_n on_o fire_n yea_o they_o shall_v both_o go_v into_o the_o same_o fire_n to_o be_v

this_o will_v make_v one_o hope_v that_o the_o devil_n time_n can_v be_v far_o from_o its_o end_n it_o be_v in_o persecution_n that_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o devil_n use_v to_o break_v forth_o with_o its_o great_a fury_n now_o there_o want_v not_o probability_n that_o the_o last_o persecution_n intend_v for_o the_o church_n of_o god_n before_o the_o advent_n of_o our_o lord_n have_v be_v upon_o

quickly_z follow_v the_o next_o thing_n be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o this_o world_n be_v become_v the_o kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o of_o his_o christ_n and_o then_o down_o go_v the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o devil_n so_o that_o he_o can_v any_o more_o come_v down_o upon_o we_o now_o the_o irrecoverable_a &_o irretrievable_a humiliation_n that_o have_v late_o befall_v the_o turkish_a power_n be_v but_o so_o many_o declaration_n of_o the_o second_o woe_n pass_v away_o and_o the_o deal_n of_o god_n with_o the_o european_a part_n of_o the_o world_n at_o this_o day_n do_v further_o strengthen_v this_o our_o expectation_n we_o do_v see_v at_o this_o hour_n a_o great_a earthquake_n all_o europe_n over_o and_o we_o shall_v see_v that_o this_o great_a earthquake_n and_o these_o great_a
