why_o the_o witness_n wear_v mourn_a attire_n be_v because_o they_o hear_v the_o continual_a blasphemy_n of_o the_o beast_n against_o god_n his_o name_n and_o tabernacle_n and_o they_o that_o dwell_v in_o heaven_n they_o see_v the_o holy_a city_n the_o truth_n and_o worship_n of_o christ_n tread_v under_o foot_n by_o the_o beast_n and_o they_o not_o able_a to_o rescue_v they_o out_o of_o his_o

thus_o restrain_v only_o to_o the_o time_n of_o the_o beast_n see_v in_o the_o other_o sense_n it_o be_v a_o duty_n in_o all_o age_n to_o bear_v witness_n and_o those_o instrument_n the_o lord_n have_v raise_v up_o in_o all_o age_n have_v do_v it_o 1_o hence_o a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o godly_a man_n and_o in_o a_o more_o general_a way_n bear_v witness_n for_o christ_n and_o yet_o none_o of_o

of_o the_o beast_n sect_n iii_o these_o witness_n be_v call_v two_o because_o of_o the_o fewness_n of_o they_o say_v some_o because_o two_o be_v a_o number_n sufficient_a to_o bear_v a_o witness_n
