either_o those_o short_a interval_n for_o their_o be_v so_o short_a and_o surround_v on_o all_o side_n with_o the_o power_n of_o gentile_n to_o tread_v i●_n under_o foot_n be_v overlooked_a by_o

either_o opinion_n as_o we_o please_v lo_o here_o even_o a_o scripture_n landmark_n of_o time_n and_o even_o demonstration_n that_o gentile_n time_n be_v not_o yet_o fulfil_v d_o for_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o scope_n and_o whole_a context_n of_o our_o lord_n assertion_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o so_o long_o as_o gentile_n time_n last_o jerusalem_n in_o round_a account_n of_o the_o matter_n however_o some_o lucid_a interval_n as_o we_o speak_v there_o may_v be_v must_v be_v so_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o gentile_n as_o to_o be_v tread_v under_o foot_n by_o they_o and_o on_o the_o

it_o in_o let_v we_o now_o compare_v with_o this_o plain_a text_n in_o luke_n that_o of_o revel_n 11._o 1._o and_o by_o way_n of_o resemblance_n or_o symbol_n take_v from_o the_o outer_a court_n of_o the_o temple_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a city_n jerusalem_n tread_v under_o foot_n by_o plain_a gentile_n in_o the_o very_a letter_n there_o be_v a_o prophetical_a signification_n that_o the_o whole_a

and_o by_o the_o course_n of_o the_o vision_n as_o these_o month_n must_v needs_o be_v time_n of_o the_o gentile_n for_o they_o be_v the_o month_n of_o the_o gentile_n and_o gentile_n month_n must_v be_v gentile_n time_n so_o they_o must_v be_v the_o last_o course_n of_o gentile_n time_n because_o when_o they_o with_o 1260_o day_n of_o the_o sackcloth_n prophecy_n end_n the_o kingdom_n of_o
