Secondly, the manner how they are to be slain. Thirdly, the place where. Fourthly, the time when. Fifthly, by whom they are to be slain. Sixthly, the true reason why they are overcome, and why in particular by a war. Seventhly, who they are, and that they have already been slain.

the_o conclusion_n i._o first_o the_o chief_a reason_n of_o their_o death_n be_v not_o their_o adversary_n malice_n as_o have_v be_v general_o suppose_v no_o this_o be_v only_o the_o secondary_a and_o instrumental_a cause_n thereof_o the_o true_a and_o chief_a reason_n of_o their_o death_n be_v the_o necessity_n thereof_o for_o have_v finish_v their_o testimony_n they_o ought_v to_o die_v new_a evidence_n be_v to_o be_v give_v therefore_o they_o be_v to_o be_v thrust_v out_o of_o court_n come_v up_o hither_o say_v the_o text_n this_o great_a voice_n be_v not_o make_v or_o direct_v to_o they_o for_o they_o and_o their_o testimony_n be_v slay_v but_o to_o the_o new-risen_a witness_n invest_v they_o with_o power_n and_o authorise_v they_o to_o give_v in_o their_o evidence_n and_o to_o commence_v a_o new_a dispensation_n be_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n for_o i_o must_v all_o along_o make_v a_o comparison_n therewith_o necessary_a to_o put_v a_o period_n to_o the_o jewish_a dispensation_n and_o ceremony_n than_o their_o death_n be_v necessary_a to_o put_v a_o end_n to_o the_o christian_a i_o mean_v the_o first_o christian_n dispensation_n no_o dispensation_n can_v be_v finish_v without_o death_n and_o without_o a_o death_n there_o can_v be_v no_o resurrection_n and_o without_o the_o entire_a dissolution_n of_o the_o old_a there_o can_v be_v no_o new_a dispensation_n so_o it_o be_v self-evident_a that_o the_o death_n of_o the_o witness_n be_v necessary_a for_o will_v the_o old_a dispensation_n have_v serve_v god_n purpose_n and_o the_o world_n necessity_n it_o be_v certain_a they_o have_v not_o be_v slay_v it_o be_v impossible_a it_o shall_v be_v otherwise_o father_n say_v christ_n if_o possible_a let_v this_o cup_n pass_v from_o i_o but_o since_o it_o do_v not_o pass_v what_o do_v his_o death_n imply_v but_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a it_o shall_v be_v otherwise_o and_o since_o the_o head_n can_v not_o according_a to_o god_n appointment_n escape_v death_n on_o account_n of_o finish_v the_o old_a and_o commence_v a_o new_a dispensation_n it_o be_v much_o more_o impossible_a for_o the_o body_n or_o member_n to_o avoid_v drink_v of_o the_o same_o cup_n when_o they_o be_v in_o the_o same_o circumstance_n and_o predicament_n ii_o second_o as_o to_o the_o manner_n how_o they_o be_v slay_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o sickness_n persecution_n or_o any_o other_o abuse_v or_o alteration_n in_o the_o same_o subject_a body_n or_o constitution_n be_v not_o this_o special_a death_n they_o be_v to_o undergo_v my_o reason_n be_v first_o if_o this_o sort_n of_o death_n may_v have_v serve_v the_o turn_v then_o christ_n have_v have_v no_o occasion_n to_o have_v pray_v father_n if_o possible_a etc._n etc._n for_o it_o have_v be_v possible_a and_o feasible_a enough_o to_o have_v effect_v the_o great_a design_n without_o his_o drink_v the_o bitter_a cup_n for_o a_o scourge_v a_o whip_n or_o any_o other_o abuse_v to_o his_o sacred_a person_n will_v have_v serve_v the_o turn_n second_o will_v this_o sort_n of_o death_n have_v serve_v the_o design_n of_o god_n than_o they_o may_v have_v die_v and_o rise_v often_o because_o they_o may_v be_v persecute_v and_o abuse_v often_o but_o it_o be_v self-evident_a that_o this_o death_n ought_v to_o be_v circumstance_v so_o and_o be_v of_o such_o a_o nature_n that_o they_o may_v die_v but_o once_o because_o christ_n die_v but_o once_o and_z indeed_o no_o man_n can_v die_v twice_o three_o will_v this_o sort_n of_o death_n have_v do_v the_o business_n than_o they_o will_v have_v rise_v bare_a grain_n with_o their_o old_a body_n and_o this_o contradict_v the_o true_a analogy_n of_o a_o resurrection_n there_o aught_o to_o be_v nothing_o old_a in_o the_o resurrection_n but_o all_o thing_n new_a and_o christ_n himself_o in_o relation_n to_o this_o great_a scene_n say_v behold_v i_o make_v all_o thing_n new_a sickness_n or_o weakness_n be_v not_o death_n restitution_n be_v not_o resurrection_n the_o power_n and_o constitution_n of_o the_o old_a church_n and_o state_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v impair_v or_o weaken_v but_o total_o dissolve_v to_o make_v it_o death_n and_o not_o restore_v or_o repair_v but_o absolute_o rebuilt_a to_o make_v a_o resurrection_n otherwise_o the_o true_a analogy_n of_o death_n and_o resurrection_n will_v not_o be_v answer_v and_o when_o i_o say_v the_o church_n and_o state_n be_v thus_o absolute_o to_o be_v dissolve_v i_o think_v i_o need_v not_o say_v that_o both_o head_n and_o member_n ought_v so_o to_o be_v for_o i_o comprehend_v both_o under_o the_o denomination_n of_o witness_n iii_o three_o as_o to_o the_o place_n where_o it_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v in_o a_o inland_a country_n and_o therefore_o not_o in_o rome_n piedmont_n germany_n bohemia_n hungaria_n france_n etc._n etc._n as_o some_o have_v think_v i_o free_o own_o that_o some_o member_n or_o part_n of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o true_a church_n and_o in_o a_o common_a sense_n the_o witness_n of_o jesus_n in_o all_o these_o country_n have_v be_v abuse_v persecute_a and_o slay_v but_o these_o be_v not_o final_a but_o intermediate_v death_n and_o as_o the_o church_n can_v have_v no_o abortive_a birth_n so_o no_o immature_n death_n but_o second_o as_o such_o abuse_n and_o persecution_n have_v no_o title_n to_o the_o denomination_n of_o this_o special_a death_n so_o the_o place_n be_v very_o improper_a for_o it_o because_o it_o must_v be_v acknowledge_v that_o inland_a country_n be_v unfit_a to_o begin_v a_o dispensation_n in_o and_o nothing_o be_v more_o certain_a than_o that_o the_o witness_n be_v slay_v on_o purpose_n that_o a_o new_a dispensation_n may_v commence_v further_o the_o head_n be_v slay_v in_o the_o east_n the_o body_n ought_v therefore_o to_o be_v slay_v in_o the_o west_n but_o this_o will_v be_v more_o confirm_v if_o we_o consider_v the_o holy_a write_n make_v mention_v of_o two_o harvest_n the_o first_o in_o the_o east_n and_o by_o consequence_n the_o latter_a in_o the_o west_n for_o the_o usual_a custom_n of_o reaper_n confirm_v it_o who_o usual_o begin_v at_o the_o end_n of_o a_o field_n the_o world_n be_v this_o field_n the_o first_o harvest_n be_v the_o jewish_a ceremony_n and_o pagan_a idolatry_n they_o be_v to_o be_v reap_v down_o so_o the_o reaper_n of_o those_o time_n viz._n the_o old_a witness_n begin_v their_o work_n in_o the_o east_n and_o now_o the_o christian_a superstition_n and_o papal_a idolatry_n be_v to_o be_v reap_v down_o so_o it_o be_v convenient_a the_o reaper_n that_o be_v the_o new-risen_a witness_n begin_v their_o harvest_n in_o the_o west_n nature_n will_v direct_v we_o in_o this_o affair_n the_o sun_n and_o the_o gospel_n be_v fellow-traveller_n they_o finish_v their_o
