be_v partly_o civil_a the_o witness_n be_v deprive_v of_o their_o liberty_n and_o free_a exercise_n of_o their_o religion_n by_o humane_a law_n and_o constitution_n whereupon_o their_o death_n become_v also_o partly_o spiritual_a in_o that_o their_o spirit_n faint_a and_o fail_v so_o far_o that_o they_o be_v bereave_v of_o spiritual_a life_n and_o courage_n the_o spirit_n of_o life_n be_v great_o withdraw_v from_o they_o and_o they_o be_v possess_v with_o great_a fear_n and_o faintness_n and_o that_o this_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o their_o death_n appear_v in_o that_o upon_o their_o

life_n and_o activity_n you_o see_v then_o what_o kind_n of_o death_n this_o of_o the_o witness_n be_v partly_o civil_a and_o partly_o spiritual_a civil_a as_o to_o the_o outward_a mean_n slay_v spiritual_a as_o to_o the_o inward_a man_n slain_z and_o if_o it_o be_v thus_o than_o we_o be_v not_o to_o account_v the_o great_a slaughter_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o other_o country_n viz._n germany_n holland_n france_n piedmont_n england_n in_o those_o marian_n day_n to_o be_v this_o slaughter_n of_o the_o witness_n because_o those_o slaughter_n be_v proper_o such_o in_o a_o literal_a

their_o testimony_n before_o they_o can_v be_v slay_v that_o be_v they_o must_v be_v finish_v it_o 1._o as_o to_o the_o time_n or_o period_n of_o their_o prophesy_a viz._n at_o the_o end_n of_o 1260_o

former_a slaughter_n in_o other_o country_n can_v be_v that_o mention_v here_o rev._n 11.7_o because_o the_o testimony_n of_o jesus_n be_v not_o material_o finish_v in_o any_o of_o they_o no_o nor_o

of_o the_o secular_a officer_n to_o perform_v this_o work_n for_o they_o like_a as_o the_o chief_a priest_n and_o elder_n do_v of_o pilate_n and_o this_o civil_a power_n must_v exert_v itself_o and_o

by_o a_o worldly_a interest_n to_o hinder_v the_o burial_n of_o the_o witness_n they_o aim_v not_o herein_o at_o reformation_n nor_o at_o the_o exalt_v of_o the_o kingly_a government_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o church_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o everlasting_a gospel_n but_o be_v whole_o sway_v herein_o by_o principle_n of_o state_n now_o i_o say_v if_o the_o witness_n be_v to_o be_v

the_o burial_n of_o the_o witness_n again_o that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v a_o general_a slaughter_n in_o all_o country_n but_o only_o in_o some_o one_o particular_a here_o call_v the_o street_n i_o

give_v you_o a_o sure_a answer_n than_o i_o shall_v undertake_v to_o do_v one_o thing_n more_o you_o have_v hear_v how_o the_o death_n and_o resurrection_n of_o the_o witness_n do_v in_o many_o

for_o aught_o i_o know_v to_o the_o contrary_a it_o may_v be_v near_o midnight_n 20.1_o joh._n 20.1_o when_o mary_n magdalene_n come_v to_o the_o sepulchre_n it_o be_v yet_o dark_a and_o christ_n be_v then_o rise_v i_o know_v not_o how_o long_o before_o and_o when_o she_o see_v christ_n afterward_o at_o the_o sepulchre_n she_o neither_o know_v he_o nor_o that_o he_o be_v rise_v but_o mistake_v he_o think_v he_o have_v be_v the_o gardener_n and_o when_o she_o know_v he_o she_o go_v and_o tell_v they_o that_o have_v be_v with_o he_o and_o find_v they_o mourning_n and_o weep_v who_o therefore_o little_o imagine_v that_o christ_n be_v rise_v 11._o mark_v 16.10_o 11._o and_o when_o these_o hear_v what_o she_o say_v they_o believe_v it_o not_o and_o when_o the_o two_o disciple_n tell_v they_o the_o same_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v they_o 16.13_o mark_v 16.13_o for_o as_o yet_o they_o know_v not_o the_o scripture_n that_o he_o must_v rise_v again_o from_o the_o dead_a and_o when_o he_o

when_o he_o appear_v to_o the_o ten_o thomas_n who_o be_v then_o absent_a from_o they_o will_v not_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v rise_v yea_o 24.37_o luk._n 24.37_o and_o at_o his_o first_o
