rise_v and_o come_v out_o of_o captivity_n again_o but_o let_v we_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o when_o christ_n kill_v the_o beast_n with_o the_o sword_n he_o shall_v have_v no_o resurrection_n when_o

straightway_o degenerate_v and_o she_o that_o be_v before_o the_o spouse_n of_o christ_n become_v a_o antichristian_a harlot_n hence_o the_o woman_n flight_n into_o the_o wilderness_n be_v note_v in_o

gape_v to_o devour_v the_o child_n which_o be_v whilst_o yet_o the_o child_n be_v but_o in_o the_o birth_n so_o the_o woman_n flight_n into_o the_o wilderness_n whence_o begin_v the_o one_o thousand_o

or_o with_o he_o but_o must_v some_o time_n afterward_o the_o argument_n bring_v from_o history_n civil_a or_o ecclesiastical_a to_o prove_v this_o fall_n to_o the_o ground_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o these_o two_o reason_n 1_o because_o history_n be_v only_o a_o human_a testimony_n and_o therefore_o to_o be_v try_v by_o the_o divine_a but_o the_o divine_a testimony_n or_o testimony_n of_o

that_o therefore_o we_o be_v so_o to_o do_v what_o scripture_n warrant_n be_v there_o for_o such_o a_o thing_n that_o there_o we_o shall_v begin_v the_o time_n of_o the_o beast_n reign_v where_o the_o

some_o to_o a_o more_o likely_a time_n as_o to_o this_o for_o rosse_n in_o his_o history_n of_o the_o world_n say_v lib._n 3._o chap._n 3._o that_o about_o the_o year_n three_o hundred_o ninety_o
