of_o the_o witness_n be_v contemporary_a and_o that_o this_o great_a alteration_n and_o change_n in_o several_a nation_n make_v those_o nation_n which_o be_v but_o kingdom_n of_o this_o world_n before_o to_o become_v the_o kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o of_o his_o christ_n now_o there_o be_v these_o two_o reason_n to_o induce_v we_o to_o believe_v that_o this_o resurrection_n of_o the_o

foretell_v by_o that_o prophecy_n touch_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o witness_n and_o the_o fall_n of_o the_o popish_a power_n and_o interest_n in_o a_o considerable_a part_n of_o the_o pope_n jurisdiction_n for_o then_o there_o be_v a_o political_a resurrection_n of_o that_o sort_n of_o man_n who_o have_v be_v political_o slay_v and_o a_o long_a time_n dead_a for_o cry_v down_o popery_n and_o this_o be_v do_v when_o such_o be_v put_v into_o public_a employment_n in_o all_o reform_a nation_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n there_o be_v a_o political_a

become_v reform_v and_o this_o reason_n methinks_v shall_v convince_v any_o unprejudiced_a man_n that_o our_o first_o happy_a national_a reformation_n from_o popery_n in_o several_a nation_n be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o that_o prophecy_n touch_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o witness_n we_o speak_v and_o if_o it_o be_v than_o i_o can_v see_v how_o any_o can_v deny_v but_o that_o those_o voice_n in_o heaven_n which_o present_o follow_v thereupon_o do_v declare_v that_o those_o nation_n which_o while_n popish_a be_v but_o kingdom_n of_o this_o world_n yet_o by_o their_o national_a

refer_v unto_o another_o time_n and_o turn_n and_o not_o to_o that_o of_o the_o first_o national_a reformation_n from_o popery_n yet_o that_o say_n 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 upon_o the_o occasion_n there_o forego_v will_v no_o less_o serve_v to_o prove_v that_o nation_n by_o their_o national_a reformation_n from_o popery_n become_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n than_o it_o will_v in_o case_n that_o prophecy_n have_v refer_v unto_o the_o first_o national_a reformation_n from_o popery_n for_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o witness_n the_o earthquake_n the_o fall_n of_o a_o ten_o part_n of_o the_o city_n and_o political_a slaughter_n of_o seven_o thousand_o of_o name_n of_o man_n must_v needs_o import_v a_o great_a alteration_n of_o affair_n and_o national_a reformation_n wheresoever_o and_o whensoever_o they_o fall_v out_o be_v it_o soon_o or_o late_a because_o upon_o it_o we_o see_v some_o of_o those_o nation_n which_o be_v but_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n before_o do_v then_o become_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o if_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n indefinite_o become_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n by_o be_v reform_v from_o popery_n or_o paganism_n so_o as_o to_o make_v the_o right_a christian_a doctrine_n and_o worship_n the_o religion_n of_o those_o nation_n by_o national_a authority_n then_o the_o same_o be_v true_a of_o all_o nation_n which_o be_v so_o reform_v at_o any_o time_n and_o consequent_o of_o those_o which_o lead_v the_o way_n and_o have_v be_v first_o in_o such_o reformation_n and_o thus_o our_o proof_n appear_v every_o way_n pregnant_a to_o conclude_v this_o matter_n then_o when_o we_o find_v that_o in_o all_o time_n and_o place_n in_o point_n of_o fact_n that_o as_o fast_o as_o the_o sovereign_n and_o supreme_a power_n in_o each_o nation_n have_v fall_v into_o orthodox_n christian_n hand_n so_o fast_o those_o nation_n have_v become_v reform_v from_o paganism_n or_o popery_n by_o the_o govern_n power_n of_o those_o nation_n and_o when_o we_o find_v again_o that_o by_o such_o reformation_n those_o nation_n have_v become_v god_n kingdom_n as_o contradistinguish_v from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o this_o world_n great_a reason_n we_o have_v to_o believe_v these_o to_o be_v the_o very_a and_o true_a event_n and_o the_o fulfil_n of_o such_o ancient_a prediction_n of_o the_o prophet_n as_o those_o which_o foretell_v that_o many_o nation_n shall_v be_v join_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o be_v his_o people_n it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v a_o great_a while_n after_o christianity_n begin_v before_o it_o become_v national_a by_o national_a authority_n as_o it_o be_v long_o after_o abraham_n and_o his_o posterity_n become_v the_o people_n of_o god_n by_o the_o covenant_n of_o circumcision_n before_o they_o and_o their_o religion_n become_v national_a and_o as_o the_o one_o be_v in_o bondage_n four_o hundred_o year_n under_o the_o egyptian_a tyranny_n so_o be_v the_o christian_n three_o hundred_o year_n under_o the_o tyranny_n of_o the_o pagan_a roman_a emperor_n before_o they_o and_o their_o religion_n become_v
