there_o be_v here_o on_o earth_n and_o there_o be_v a_o king_n of_o heaven_n to_o sit_v upon_o that_o throne_n of_o glory_n as_o there_o be_v many_o king_n here_o in_o earth_n which_o do_v sit_v

of_o it_o here_o only_o this_o will_v give_v you_o a_o little_a light_n into_o it_o chap._n vi_o and_o because_o man_n may_v be_v thorough_o convince_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o only_a god_n i_o will_v have_v they_o to_o consider_v these_o place_n of_o scripture_n and_o the_o interpretation_n and_o see_v if_o they_o will_v bear_v any_o other_o sense_n and_o be_v well_o ground_v upon_o that_o they_o will_v understand_v the_o whole_a matter_n the_o better_a therefore_o i_o shall_v pass_v by_o some_o verse_n in_o this_o chapter_n i_o not_o conceive_v they_o to_o be_v of_o so_o great_a concernment_n as_o this_o be_v the_o 8_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n john_n mean_v christ_n where_o he_o say_v i_o be_o alpha_n and_o omega_n the_o beginning_n and_o the_o end_n say_v the_o lord_n which_o be_v and_o which_o be_v and_o which_o be_v to_o come_v the_o almighty_a here_o you_o that_o have_v faith_n to_o believe_v may_v understand_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o beginning_n and_o the_o end_n the_o lord_n almighty_n and_o as_o john_n be_v in_o the_o isle_n of_o patmos_n as_o he_o say_v in_o the_o 9th_o verse_n for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o for_o the_o testimony_n of_o jesus_n christ_n here_o john_n seem_v as_o if_o he_o do_v suffer_v persecution_n for_o two_o that_o be_v to_o say_v for_o god_n and_o for_o jesus_n christ_n yet_o in_o the_o 10._o and_o 11._o verse_n he_o conclude_v they_o both_o in_o one_o say_v that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o spirit_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o hear_v behind_o i_o as_o he_o say_v a_o great_a voice_n as_o of_o a_o trumpet_n i_o will_v have_v the_o reader_n to_o observe_v that_o the_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n which_o be_v give_v to_o the_o jew_n be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n because_o it_o be_v give_v by_o the_o lord_n almighty_a to_o moses_n and_o by_o he_o give_v to_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n and_o so_o call_v the_o lord_n day_n so_o likewise_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n also_o now_o here_o be_v two_o lords-day_n and_o yet_o but_o one_o lord_n of_o they_o both_o how_o shall_v this_o matter_n be_v reconcile_v thus_o the_o lordsday_n which_o be_v make_v by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o creation_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o the_o lordsday_n that_o be_v make_v by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o redemption_n be_v another_o because_o the_o lord_n almighty_n be_v in_o two_o several_a state_n as_o thus_o when_o he_o create_v the_o world_n and_o make_v man_n in_o his_o own_o image_n and_o likeness_n he_o himself_o be_v a_o spiritual_a substance_n a_o body_n in_o form_n like_o a_o man_n but_o no_o flesh_n blood_n and_o bone_n this_o god_n be_v when_o he_o create_v man_n and_o all_o thing_n else_o but_o when_o god_n become_v flesh_n he_o be_v in_o another_o condition_n he_o now_o have_v flesh_n blood_n and_o bone_n that_o he_o may_v work_v a_o redemption_n to_o the_o seed_n of_o adam_n to_o a_o more_o excellent_a condition_n then_o that_o be_v wherein_o he_o be_v create_v and_o a_o more_o miserable_a condition_n to_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n than_o he_o be_v create_v in_o and_o this_o i_o will_v have_v the_o seed_n of_o faith_n to_o understand_v that_o the_o same_o god_n which_o create_v man_n i_o say_v the_o same_o god_n redeem_v man_n which_o thing_n be_v two_o proper_a and_o distinct_a work_n for_o one_o and_o the_o same_o god_n to_o do_v therefore_o distinguish_v by_o two_o several_a denomination_n of_o father_n and_o son_n neither_o be_v it_o proper_a for_o god_n after_o he_o become_v flesh_n to_o create_v any_o thing_n neither_o can_v god_n have_v redeem_v mankind_n to_o a_o eternal_a happiness_n but_o by_o his_o become_a flesh_n neither_o can_v any_o serpent_n or_o devil_n have_v put_v god_n to_o death_n if_o god_n have_v not_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n for_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n clothes_n itself_o with_o flesh_n blood_n and_o bone_n and_o so_o be_v make_v capable_a to_o be_v put_v to_o death_n by_o the_o seed_n and_o nature_n of_o reason_n which_o be_v the_o serpent_n or_o devil_n but_o i_o shall_v speak_v more_o of_o god_n death_n hereafter_o only_o this_o i_o will_v have_v the_o seed_n of_o faith_n to_o mind_n that_o twofold_a condition_n of_o god_n as_o aforesaid_a and_o then_o you_o will_v not_o stumble_v at_o john_n say_v that_o he_o do_v suffer_v for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o for_o the_o testimony_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v two_o distinct_a thing_n and_o so_o he_o do_v in_o some_o other_o place_n in_o this_o book_n of_o the_o revelation_n as_o in_o the_o first_o chapter_n verse_n 5_o he_o say_v and_o from_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o faithful_a witness_n etc._n etc._n which_o do_v intimate_v to_o the_o seed_n of_o reason_n as_o if_o there_o be_v two_o go_n but_o i_o declare_v it_o be_v speak_v with_o relation_n to_o god_n twofold_a condition_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o proper_a power_n and_o work_v of_o god_n as_o he_o be_v the_o father_n it_o be_v to_o create_v and_o the_o proper_a power_n and_o work_v of_o god_n as_o he_o be_v the_o son_n it_o be_v to_o die_v and_o to_o redeem_v and_o yet_o all_o but_o one_o god_n but_o in_o two_o condition_n or_o in_o two_o state_n therefore_o set_v forth_o by_o the_o revelation_n in_o the_o scripture_n under_o nomination_n of_o father_n and_o son_n therefore_o i_o will_v willing_o have_v the_o seed_n of_o faith_n to_o understand_v the_o twofold_a condition_n of_o god_n and_o then_o the_o scripture_n which_o do_v seem_v to_o contradict_v one_o the_o other_o will_v be_v reconcile_v in_o one_o and_o so_o there_o will_v be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o peace_n arise_v from_o the_o right_a understanding_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o cause_n why_o where_o be_v so_o much_o dissatisfaction_n in_o read_v the_o scripture_n by_o the_o professor_n now_o adays_o it_o be_v because_o they_o understand_v they_o not_o this_o i_o know_v by_o experience_n but_o as_o i_o say_v before_o as_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a state_n in_o one_o god_n so_o likewise_o there_o be_v two_o lords-day_n as_o aforesaid_a yet_o but_o one_o god_n but_o the_o meaning_n of_o john_n when_o he_o say_v he_o be_v in_o the_o spirit_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n i_o declare_v his_o meaning_n be_v the_o day_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n and_o this_o he_o call_v the_o lordsday_n that_o be_v it_o be_v the_o day_n of_o god_n rise_v from_o death_n to_o life_n in_o that_o death_n be_v not_o able_a to_o keep_v he_o under_o for_o death_n do_v keep_v every_o creature_n under_o it_o neither_o can_v any_o creature_n nor_o son_n of_o god_n overcome_v death_n but_o god_n himself_o therefore_o christ_n must_v needs_o be_v god_n the_o father_n of_o all_o life_n in_o that_o he_o give_v life_n to_o all_o creature_n in_o his_o creation_n and_o nothing_o can_v procure_v by_o his_o death_n a_o resurrection_n of_o a_o new_a life_n and_o a_o eternal_a redemption_n but_o the_o blood_n and_o death_n of_o god_n himself_o therefore_o let_v the_o seed_n of_o faith_n lie_v as_o much_o trust_n upon_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n believe_v it_o to_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o god_n as_o they_o can_v the_o more_o weight_n they_o lie_v upon_o it_o the_o more_o peace_n and_o satisfaction_n they_o shall_v find_v so_o on_o the_o contrary_a those_o that_o deny_v and_o call_v it_o blasphemy_n for_o a_o man_n to_o say_v that_o god_n do_v die_v i_o say_v there_o be_v no_o salvation_n for_o such_o a_o man_n neither_o will_v he_o find_v any_o benefit_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n because_o he_o look_v upon_o it_o to_o be_v but_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o humane_a nature_n or_o the_o blood_n of_o a_o man_n notwithstanding_o the_o scripture_n be_v so_o full_a to_o prove_v that_o christ_n be_v god_n and_o christ_n he_o die_v therefore_o god_n do_v die_v and_o this_o
revelation_n of_o john_n be_v more_o clear_a that_o god_n do_v die_v than_o any_o other_o scripture_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o 11._o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n in_o the_o 10._o verse_n

faith_n to_o mind_n that_o this_o son_n of_o man_n which_o john_n see_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o seven_o golden_a candlestick_n who_o be_v clothe_v with_o a_o garment_n down_o to_o the_o foot_n i_o declare_v it_o be_v the_o same_o alpha_n and_o omega_n which_o speak_v that_o great_a voice_n and_o john_n turn_v to_o see_v this_o alpha_n and_o omega_n he_o see_v he_o like_a unto_o the_o son_n of_o man._n therefore_o i_o will_v have_v the_o seed_n of_o faith_n to_o observe_v that_o there_o be_v no_o see_v of_o god_n the_o alpha_n and_o omega_n neither_o by_o vision_n nor_o by_o faith_n but_o in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o man_n therefore_o call_v the_o son_n of_o man_n so_o that_o though_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o man_n yet_o he_o be_v nevertheless_o god_n for_o he_o be_v the_o alpha_n and_o omega_n the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o as_o you_o may_v plain_o see_v in_o the_o 17._o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n where_o he_o say_v and_o when_o i_o see_v he_o i_o fall_v at_o his_o foot_n as_o dead_a and_o he_o lay_v his_o right_a hand_n upon_o i_o say_v unto_o i_o fear_v not_o i_o be_o the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o i_o be_o he_o that_o live_v and_o be_v dead_a and_o behold_v i_o be_o alive_a for_o evermore_o amen_o and_o have_v the_o key_n of_o hell_n and_o of_o death_n here_o you_o that_o have_v faith_n in_o the_o true_a god_n may_v clear_o understand_v that_o this_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o man_n iâ—_n the_o alpha_n and_o omega_n the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o also_o it_o may_v be_v as_o clear_o understand_v by_o the_o seed_n of_o faith_n that_o god_n do_v die_v for_o if_o god_n be_v alpha_n and_o omega_n the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o as_o i_o think_v all_o man_n will_v confess_v than_o i_o say_v the_o same_o

again_o but_o christ_n have_v any_o god_n the_o key_n of_o hell_n and_o of_o death_n in_o his_o hand_n but_o christ_n only_o and_o that_o you_o may_v see_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o that_o christ_n be_v alpha_n and_o omega_n the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o though_o become_v a_o son_n have_v flesh_n blood_n and_o bone_n that_o he_o may_v be_v capable_a to_o suffer_v the_o pain_n of_o death_n as_o aforesaid_a yet_o he_o be_v look_v upon_o by_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n to_o be_v the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o the_o lord_n almighty_n he_o be_v the_o same_o as_o the_o prophet_n prophesy_v of_o as_o you_o may_v see_v isaiah_n the_o 41._o and_o 4._o verse_n who_o have_v wrought_v and_o do_v it_o call_v the_o generation_n from_o the_o beginning_n i_o the_o lord_n the_o first_o and_o with_o the_o last_o i_o be_o he_o so_o likewise_o in_o the_o 44._o of_o isaiah_n and_o the_o 6_o verse_n thus_o say_v the_o lord_n the_o king_n of_o israel_n and_o his_o redeemer_n the_o lord_n of_o

god_n which_o be_v the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o that_o isaiah_n speak_v of_o be_v the_o same_o that_o john_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o revelation_n only_o the_o prophet_n speak_v of_o he_o as_o he_o be_v in_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o father_n and_o be_v to_o redeem_v his_o people_n from_o their_o sin_n but_o john_n speak_v of_o he_o as_o he_o be_v a_o son_n and_o that_o he_o have_v suffer_v

yet_o all_o but_o one_o god_n even_o the_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n who_o be_v that_o alpha_n and_o omega_n the_o beginning_n and_o the_o end_n the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o he_o who_o be_v

purchase_v by_o his_o own_o blood_n his_o blood_n be_v no_o less_o than_o the_o blood_n of_o god_n the_o alpha_n and_o omega_n the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o as_o aforesaid_a chap._n vii_o in_o the_o 19_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n john_n be_v command_v to_o write_v the_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v see_v and_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v and_o the_o thing_n which_o shall_v be_v hereafter_o to_o who_o he_o be_v to_o write_v it_o be_v to_o the_o seven_o church_n of_o asia_n and_o in_o the_o 20_o verse_n which_o be_v the_o last_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n he_o interpret_v what_o the_o seven_o star_n which_o he_o see_v in_o christ_n right_a right_a hand_n be_v and_o what_o the_o seven_o golden_a candlestcik_n be_v therefore_o i_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o of_o it_o here_o and_o as_o for_o what_o john_n do_v write_v to_o the_o seven_o church_n of_o asia_n it_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o two_o chapter_n follow_v those_o two_o chapter_n treat_v only_o upon_o the_o seven_o church_n of_o asia_n and_o the_o chief_a thing_n in_o those_o two_o chapter_n i_o have_v interpret_v already_o and_o the_o chief_a thing_n which_o be_v of_o most_o concernment_n in_o the_o first_o chapter_n i_o have_v also_o interpret_v therefore_o i_o shall_v go_v to_o the_o four_o chapter_n but_o i_o suppose_v it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o the_o reader_n for_o i_o to_o show_v what_o a_o resemblance_n and_o likeness_n there_o be_v between_o the_o seven_o church_n now_o in_o europe_n in_o these_o our_o day_n and_o the_o seven_o church_n of_o asia_n and_o how_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o seven_o church_n which_o be_v the_o minister_n or_o speaker_n do_v agree_v with_o the_o seven_o angel_n of_o the_o seven_o church_n of_o asia_n i_o have_v speak_v something_o of_o they_o in_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o 11_o of_o the_o revelation_n but_o i_o shall_v speak_v a_o little_a more_o of_o they_o here_o because_o it_o be_v something_o necessary_a to_o inform_v the_o reader_n therefore_o mind_n the_o distinction_n between_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o we_o read_v that_o the_o seven_o church_n of_o asia_n have_v seven_o several_a name_n as_o may_v be_v read_v and_o according_a to_o their_o good_a practice_n and_o their_o bad_a they_o be_v either_o reprove_v or_o commend_v as_o i_o have_v show_v before_o so_o likewise_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o seven_o church_n of_o europe_n may_v be_v call_v seven_o angel_n
do_v at_o this_o day_n or_o shall_v hereafter_o to_o the_o world_n end_n therefore_o if_o the_o reader_n do_v but_o understand_v the_o spiritual_a substance_n and_o meaning_n of_o john_n vision_n though_o not_o every_o particular_a circumstance_n i_o say_v it_o will_v give_v full_a satisfaction_n to_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n as_o to_o the_o scripture_n and_o to_o their_o eternal_a salvation_n the_o first_o thing_n that_o john_n see_v in_o his_o vision_n it_o be_v a_o door_n open_v in_o heaven_n now_o i_o will_v have_v the_o seed_n of_o faith_n to_o understand_v that_o there_o be_v a_o door_n belong_v to_o heaven_n and_o a_o door_n belong_v to_o hell_n therefore_o call_v in_o scripture_n the_o gate_n of_o heaven_n and_o of_o hell_n as_o christ_n say_v unto_o peter_n i_o have_v give_v thou_o the_o key_n of_o heaven_n and_o of_o hell_n so_o likewise_o when_o the_o five_o foolish_a virgin_n come_v to_o the_o door_n where_o the_o bridegroom_n be_v but_o the_o door_n be_v shut_v upon_o they_o so_o that_o they_o can_v not_o come_v in_o to_o that_o eternal_a marriage_n so_o that_o there_o be_v a_o door_n belong_v to_o heaven_n also_o there_o must_v be_v some_o body_n to_o open_v this_o door_n it_o be_v much_o like_a unto_o a_o king_n palace_n where_o no_o inferior_a person_n can_v see_v into_o it_o except_o the_o doorkeeper_n do_v open_a the_o door_n there_o be_v no_o earthly_a king_n palace_n but_o have_v a_o door_n to_o it_o neither_o can_v any_o man_n see_v into_o it_o except_o the_o door_n be_v openâ—â—_n now_o as_o there_o be_v a_o door_n of_o earthly_a substance_n which_o may_v be_v see_v and_o feel_v belong_v to_o every_o earthly_a king_n palace_n the_o palace_n be_v earthly_a also_o though_o deck_v and_o set_v forth_o very_o glorious_o to_o the_o eye_n of_o sense_n and_o reason_n because_o it_o belong_v to_o reason_n kingdom_n so_o likewise_o there_o be_v as_o real_a a_o heavenly_a palace_n above_o and_o beyond_o the_o star_n where_o christ_n the_o king_n of_o heaven_n do_v sit_v upon_o his_o throne_n also_o there_o be_v a_o door_n belong_v to_o it_o of_o a_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a substance_n which_o may_v be_v see_v feel_v and_o understand_v by_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n as_o the_o other_o be_v by_o the_o eye_n of_o reason_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v in_o scripture_n by_o the_o apostle_n we_o speak_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v see_v which_o we_o have_v hear_v which_o we_o have_v taste_v which_o we_o have_v handle_v of_o the_o word_n of_o life_n so_o that_o there_o be_v as_o real_a a_o spiritual_a substance_n to_o be_v see_v taste_v and_o handle_v by_o the_o seed_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o mind_n as_o there_o be_v temporal_a thing_n by_o the_o seed_n of_o reason_n likewise_o christ_n be_v call_v a_o door_n himself_o and_o he_o have_v the_o key_n of_o davia_n who_o open_v and_o no_o man_n shut_v and_o this_o be_v he_o that_o open_v the_o door_n of_o john_n understanding_n and_o let_v he_o see_v in_o a_o

that_o be_v as_o soon_o as_o ever_o the_o door_n of_o his_o understanding_n be_v open_v the_o door_n of_o heaven_n be_v open_v also_o and_o the_o door_n of_o heaven_n be_v open_v there_o be_v present_v in_o a_o vision_n to_o his_o sight_n few_o thing_n that_o must_v be_v hereafter_o now_o what_o those_o thing_n which_o must_v be_v hereafter_o be_v they_o be_v signify_v in_o the_o vision_n in_o the_o chapter_n follow_v for_o the_o voice_n which_o talk_v with_o john_n in_o the_o vision_n bid_v he_o come_v up_o hither_o and_o i_o will_v show_v the_o thing_n which_o must_v be_v hereafter_o and_o immediate_o john_n be_v in_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v he_o be_v so_o ravish_v and_o wrap_v up_o in_o his_o spirit_n with_o the_o the_o sight_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o glory_n thereof_o in_o the_o vision_n the_o door_n of_o heaven_n be_v open_v that_o he_o be_v as_o paul_n be_v whether_o in_o the_o body_n or_o out_o of_o the_o body_n he_o can_v not_o tell_v for_o john_n do_v see_v thing_n

can_v explain_v it_o not_o as_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o but_o man_n that_o have_v write_v the_o scripture_n and_o have_v have_v vision_n and_o revelation_n of_o these_o heavenly_a thing_n they_o have_v express_v they_o to_o the_o capacity_n of_o man_n as_o they_o can_v by_o word_n so_o that_o man_n may_v believe_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n which_o be_v spiritual_a and_o eternal_a by_o word_n of_o mortal_a man_n like_o themselves_o as_o man_n do_v understand_v one_o another_o in_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n and_o the_o gift_n of_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n which_o be_v

man_n revelation_n or_o vision_n and_o know_v nothing_o of_o it_o himself_o therefore_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n be_v the_o best_a and_o most_o profitable_a gift_n unto_o the_o seed_n of_o faith_n now_o adays_o to_o lead_v they_o unto_o their_o eternal_a rest_n therefore_o to_o unfold_v something_o more_o of_o john_n vision_n in_o the_o second_o verse_n and_o immediate_o he_o be_v in_o

he_o neither_o have_v ever_o any_o man_n that_o wisdom_n and_o power_n as_o he_o have_v therefore_o it_o be_v say_v in_o scripture_n never_o any_o wan_a speak_v like_o this_o man_n neither_o do_v
