A27615	The late great revolution in this nation argued according to Rev. 17. 16. 17., to be duely ascribed to the supreme spirit now about to move in the fulfilling all prophecy, the earnest of which is vouch-saf'd to us in this so wonderful change, in pursuance of a discourse published twelve months past, viz, The command of God to come out of Babylon : wherein is more fully proved the [now] Roman Communion is intended and that the words of God will be fulfilled concerning the present state of the papacy in its expiration, and the hatred of the whore, 1697 / by Beverley.

your_o father_n be_v dead_a and_o the_o prophet_n where_o be_v they_o but_o do_v not_o my_o word_n by_o the_o prophet_n take_v hold_v so_o it_o be_v in_o all_o age_n so_o it_o will_v be_v now_o the_o word_n of_o this_o prophecy_n seem_v to_o lie_v still_o in_o the_o sacred_a book_n but_o god_n remember_v they_o as_o his_o word_n and_o send_v out_o his_o spirit_n and_o stir_v up_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n according_a to_o they_o we_o ought_v not_o therefore_o to_o despise_v the_o search_n of_o prophecy_n for_o whoever_o can_v find_v the_o true_a canale_n of_o they_o give_v great_a

the_o sign_n of_o the_o time_n be_v not_o only_o religious_a or_o moral_a character_n as_o the_o holiness_n of_o christ_n doctrine_n life_n great_a zeal_n in_o do_v good_a be_v such_o a_o sort_n of_o
