whether_o from_o the_o first_o incursion_n of_o the_o goth_n upon_o the_o roman_a empire_n in_o the_o year_n 365_o or_o when_o they_o sack_v rome_n in_o the_o year_n 410_o or_o else_o in_o 455_o

the_o empire_n 365_o and_o the_o sack_n of_o rom_n 410._o sometime_o near_o theodosius_n the_o great_a his_o come_n to_o the_o empire_n which_o historian_n will_v tell_v you_o be_v about_o the_o

overwhelm_v by_o they_o about_o this_o time_n i_o mean_v some_o period_n between_o 370_o and_o 380_o i_o shall_v begin_v to_o reckon_v the_o beast_n 42_o month_n as_o also_o make_v it_o the_o common_a
