and_o a_o half_a that_o be_v as_o be_v aforesaid_a for_o 1260_o day_n the_o time_n of_o the_o mournful_a witness_n during_o which_o time_n the_o distil_a of_o the_o salutiferous_a doctrine_n of_o

there_o be_v no_o one_o emperor_n or_o head_n over_o they_o all_o the_o remarker_n conceit_n be_v not_o credible_a and_o as_o for_o queen_n mary_n reign_n it_o be_v almost_o twice_o three_o year_n

of_o the_o two_o witness_n lie_v dead_a in_o the_o street_n of_o the_o great_a city_n it_o be_v incredible_a they_o shall_v recover_v again_o within_o the_o space_n of_o three_o year_n and_o a_o half_a to_o elude_v the_o force_n of_o this_o argument_n the_o remarker_n point_fw-fr blank_a against_o the_o description_n of_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o slay_a witness_n first_o make_v their_o state_n more_o joyous_a and_o comfortable_a than_o can_v possible_o comply_v with_o that_o sad_a representation_n of_o they_o in_o the_o type_n thereof_o they_o be_v slay_v by_o the_o beast_n out_o of_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n and_o their_o dead_a body_n lie_v expose_v in_o the_o street_n of_o the_o great_a city_n what_o a_o comfortable_a and_o heart-whole_a condition_n be_v this_o the_o best_a that_o can_v be_v say_v of_o it_o be_v they_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o death_n for_o the_o present_a but_o may_v in_o time_n be_v raise_v out_o of_o it_o but_o for_o the_o present_a time_n what_o can_v be_v more_o dismal_a and_o sad_a and_o the_o other_o trick_n of_o evade_n be_v that_o though_o it_o seem_v so_o incredible_a that_o the_o witness_n shall_v recover_v in_o so_o short_a a_o time_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o so_o that_o the_o commencement_n of_o their_o recovery_n shall_v be_v within_o so_o short_a a_o time_n to_o which_o i_o say_v it_o be_v altogether_o incredible_a that_o it_o will_v ever_o appear_v that_o popery_n have_v overflow_v the_o reform_a nation_n state_n and_o kingdom_n for_o that_o short_a space_n of_o three_o year_n and_o a_o half_a just_a and_o then_o at_o the_o expire_a of_o that_o half_a year_n the_o recovery_n of_o the_o witness_n shall_v present_o commence_v the_o apocalypse_n as_o i_o note_v above_o have_v no_o aim_n to_o design_n such_o small_a

in_o the_o second_o place_n i_o add_v there_o be_v no_o such_o distinction_n discernible_a in_o the_o vision_n as_o to_o make_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o their_o recovery_n and_o the_o commencement_n of_o their_o recovery_n unless_o one_o will_v conceive_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n from_o god_n enter_v into_o they_o and_o their_o stand_n on_o their_o foot_n to_o be_v the_o commencement_n of_o their_o recovery_n and_o their_o ascend_n into_o heaven_n in_o a_o cloud_n the_o recovery_n itself_o but_o be_v their_o death_n from_o which_o they_o be_v revive_v be_v a_o political_a death_n

to_o which_o the_o remarker_n answer_v that_o the_o apologer_n himself_o make_v the_o witness_n political_a death_n to_o be_v represent_v by_o their_o mournful_a prophesy_v 1260_o day_n and_o it_o
