the_o jew_n will_v be_v call_v thus_o much_o of_o the_o second_o and_o three_o number_n and_o last_o touch_v the_o 1260_o day_n i_o will_v have_v it_o consider_v 1._o that_o the_o 1290_o day_n and_o the_o 1260_o day_n will_v end_v together_o for_o we_o may_v observe_v rev._n 16.10_o 12._o that_o the_o five_o angel_n pour_v out_o his_o vial_n upon_o the_o seat_n of_o the_o beast_n and_o so_o destroy_v that_o and_o consequent_o the_o beast_n as_o in_o that_o seat_n then_o the_o six_o angel_n pour_v out_o his_o vial_n upon_o the_o river_n euphrates_n that_o a_o way_n may_v be_v make_v for_o the_o king_n of_o the_o east_n these_o king_n of_o the_o east_n be_v the_o jew_n and_o chief_o the_o ten_o tribe_n now_o we_o may_v well_o suppose_v a_o call_n of_o the_o jew_n before_o this_o it_o may_v be_v a_o considerable_a time_n they_o be_v call_v king_n at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o six_o vial_n which_o suppose_v their_o call_n before_o and_o get_v into_o such_o power_n as_o to_o be_v call_v king_n as_o the_o israelite_n when_o bring_v out_o of_o egypt_n and_o gather_v into_o a_o body_n than_o be_v a_o kingdom_n of_o priest_n and_o beside_o it_o be_v say_v he_o shall_v save_v the_o

i_o conceive_v that_o the_o jew_n first_o call_v at_o least_o the_o call_v of_o those_o of_o the_o tribe_n of_o judah_n will_v be_v at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o witness_n be_v raise_v which_o seem_v

not_o to_o be_v reckon_v for_o the_o head_n of_o this_o number_n 1260_o day_n it_o be_v evident_a he_o do_v begin_v to_o appear_v about_o the_o time_n of_o the_o great_a apostasy_n and_o the_o take_v

if_o we_o will_v pitch_v upon_o the_o right_a time_n for_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o 1260_o day_n let_v we_o consider_v two_o place_n which_o give_v we_o two_o eminent_a mark_n of_o that_o time_n the_o
