the_o redeemer_n that_o he_o make_v the_o saint_n so_o pure_a and_o white_a that_o they_o become_v a_o white_a horse_n for_o he_o to_o sit_v upon_o so_o that_o they_o be_v able_a by_o their_o faith_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o lamb_n to_o suffer_v tribulation_n and_o death_n itself_o so_o that_o they_o become_v more_o than_o conqueror_n for_o he_o that_o suffer_v persecution_n for_o the_o

revelation_n of_o john_n be_v more_o clear_a that_o god_n do_v die_v than_o any_o other_o scripture_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o 11._o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n in_o the_o 10._o verse_n he_o be_v in_o the_o spirit_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n what_o day_n that_o be_v i_o have_v show_v before_o and_o john_n hear_v behind_o he_o a_o great_a voice_n as_o of_o a_o trumpet_n in_o the_o 11._o verse_n say_v i_o be_o alpha_n and_o omega_n the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o and_o what_o thou_o see_v write_v in_o a_o book_n and_o send_v it_o unto_o the_o seven_o church_n etc._n etc._n and_o in_o the_o 12._o verse_n john_n turn_v to_o see_v the_o voice_n that_o speak_v to_o he_o and_o be_v turn_v he_o see_v seven_o golden_a candlestick_n these_o seven_o golden_a candlestick_n be_v the_o seven_o church_n of_o asia_n as_o aforesaid_a and_o in_o the_o 13._o verse_n and_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o seven_o golden_a candlestick_n one_o like_a unto_o the_o son_n of_o man_n clothe_v with_o a_o garment_n down_o to_o the_o foot_n and_o gird_v about_o the_o waste_n with_o a_o golden_a girdle_n this_o great_a voice_n which_o john_n hear_v it_o be_v as_o the_o sound_n of_o a_o trumpet_n come_v from_o no_o other_o but_o from_o jesus_n christ_n the_o only_a god_n he_o be_v that_o alpha_n and_o omega_n the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o which_o bid_v john_n write_v in_o a_o book_n what_o he_o have_v see_v and_o in_o the_o 12_o verse_n john_n turn_v to_o see_v the_o voice_n and_o in_o stead_n of_o see_v the_o voice_n he_o see_v he_o that_o speak_v the_o voice_n and_o he_o be_v like_a unto_o the_o son_n of_o man_n clothe_v with_o a_o garment_n down_o to_o the_o foot_n now_o what_o this_o garment_n be_v i_o shall_v unfold_v hereafter_o there_o be_v many_o other_o glorious_a expression_n in_o this_o chapter_n to_o set_v forth_o this_o son_n of_o man_n in_o his_o glory_n but_o i_o shall_v pass_v by_o they_o only_o this_o i_o will_v have_v the_o seed_n of_o faith_n to_o mind_n that_o this_o son_n of_o man_n which_o john_n see_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o seven_o golden_a candlestick_n who_o be_v clothe_v with_o a_o garment_n down_o to_o the_o foot_n i_o declare_v it_o be_v the_o same_o alpha_n and_o omega_n which_o speak_v that_o great_a voice_n and_o john_n turn_v to_o see_v this_o alpha_n and_o omega_n he_o see_v he_o like_a unto_o the_o son_n of_o man._n therefore_o i_o will_v have_v the_o seed_n of_o faith_n to_o observe_v that_o there_o be_v no_o see_v of_o god_n the_o alpha_n and_o omega_n neither_o by_o vision_n nor_o by_o faith_n but_o in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o man_n therefore_o call_v the_o son_n of_o man_n so_o that_o though_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o man_n yet_o he_o be_v nevertheless_o god_n for_o he_o be_v the_o alpha_n and_o omega_n the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o as_o you_o may_v plain_o see_v in_o the_o 17._o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n where_o he_o say_v and_o when_o i_o see_v he_o i_o fall_v at_o his_o foot_n as_o dead_a and_o he_o lay_v his_o right_a hand_n upon_o i_o say_v unto_o i_o fear_v not_o i_o be_o the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o i_o be_o he_o that_o live_v and_o be_v dead_a and_o behold_v i_o be_o alive_a for_o evermore_o amen_o and_o have_v the_o key_n of_o hell_n and_o of_o death_n here_o you_o that_o have_v faith_n in_o the_o true_a god_n may_v clear_o understand_v that_o this_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o man_n iâ—_n the_o alpha_n and_o omega_n the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o also_o it_o may_v be_v as_o clear_o understand_v by_o the_o seed_n of_o faith_n that_o god_n do_v die_v for_o if_o god_n be_v alpha_n and_o omega_n the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o as_o i_o think_v all_o man_n will_v confess_v than_o i_o say_v the_o same_o

again_o but_o christ_n have_v any_o god_n the_o key_n of_o hell_n and_o of_o death_n in_o his_o hand_n but_o christ_n only_o and_o that_o you_o may_v see_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o that_o christ_n be_v alpha_n and_o omega_n the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o though_o become_v a_o son_n have_v flesh_n blood_n and_o bone_n that_o he_o may_v be_v capable_a to_o suffer_v the_o pain_n of_o death_n as_o aforesaid_a yet_o he_o be_v look_v upon_o by_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n to_o be_v the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o the_o lord_n almighty_n he_o be_v the_o same_o as_o the_o prophet_n prophesy_v of_o as_o you_o may_v see_v isaiah_n the_o 41._o and_o 4._o verse_n who_o have_v wrought_v and_o do_v it_o call_v the_o generation_n from_o the_o beginning_n i_o the_o lord_n the_o first_o and_o with_o the_o last_o i_o be_o he_o so_o likewise_o in_o the_o 44._o of_o isaiah_n and_o the_o 6_o verse_n thus_o say_v the_o lord_n the_o king_n of_o israel_n and_o his_o redeemer_n the_o lord_n of_o

be_v in_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o father_n and_o be_v to_o redeem_v his_o people_n from_o their_o sin_n but_o john_n speak_v of_o he_o as_o he_o be_v a_o son_n and_o that_o he_o have_v suffer_v

yet_o all_o but_o one_o god_n even_o the_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n who_o be_v that_o alpha_n and_o omega_n the_o beginning_n and_o the_o end_n the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o he_o who_o be_v

the_o 19_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n john_n be_v command_v to_o write_v the_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v see_v and_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v and_o the_o thing_n which_o shall_v be_v hereafter_o to_o who_o he_o be_v to_o write_v it_o be_v to_o the_o seven_o church_n of_o asia_n and_o in_o the_o 20_o verse_n which_o be_v the_o last_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n he_o interpret_v what_o the_o seven_o star_n which_o he_o see_v in_o christ_n right_a right_a hand_n be_v and_o what_o the_o seven_o golden_a candlestcik_n be_v therefore_o i_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o of_o it_o here_o and_o as_o for_o what_o john_n do_v write_v to_o the_o seven_o church_n of_o asia_n it_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o two_o chapter_n follow_v those_o two_o chapter_n treat_v only_o upon_o the_o seven_o church_n of_o asia_n and_o the_o chief_a thing_n in_o those_o two_o chapter_n i_o have_v interpret_v already_o and_o the_o chief_a thing_n which_o be_v of_o most_o concernment_n in_o the_o first_o chapter_n i_o have_v also_o interpret_v therefore_o i_o shall_v go_v to_o the_o four_o chapter_n but_o i_o suppose_v it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o the_o reader_n for_o i_o to_o show_v what_o a_o resemblance_n and_o likeness_n there_o be_v between_o the_o seven_o church_n now_o in_o europe_n in_o these_o our_o day_n and_o the_o seven_o church_n of_o asia_n and_o how_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o seven_o church_n which_o be_v the_o minister_n or_o speaker_n do_v agree_v with_o the_o seven_o angel_n of_o the_o seven_o church_n of_o asia_n i_o have_v speak_v something_o of_o they_o in_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o 11_o of_o the_o revelation_n but_o i_o shall_v speak_v a_o little_a more_o of_o they_o here_o because_o it_o be_v something_o necessary_a to_o inform_v the_o reader_n therefore_o mind_n the_o distinction_n between_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o we_o read_v that_o the_o seven_o church_n of_o asia_n have_v seven_o several_a name_n as_o may_v be_v

seven_o church_n of_o europe_n may_v be_v call_v seven_o angel_n
of_o death_n and_o be_v slay_v by_o they_o and_o these_o seven_o church_n have_v their_o power_n and_o strength_n to_o suffer_v from_o christ_n the_o lamb_n slay_v they_o walk_v in_o his_o step_n in_o the_o way_n of_o suffer_v therefore_o call_v the_o seven_o horn_n of_o the_o lamb_n or_o the_o lamb_n seven_o horn_n and_o as_o for_o the_o seven_o eye_n which_o the_o lamb_n have_v they_o be_v call_v the_o seven_o spirit_n of_o god_n send_v forth_o into_o all_o the_o earth_n you_o may_v remember_v that_o i_o have_v show_v before_o what_o the_o seven_o spirit_n before_o the_o throne_n be_v and_o these_o seven_o spirit_n which_o the_o lamb_n have_v be_v the_o very_a same_o that_o be_v they_o be_v all_o but_o one_o spirit_n of_o christ_n only_o this_o one_o spirit_n do_v operate_v and_o work_v seven_o several_a way_n to_o wit_n in_o the_o seven_o church_n of_o asia_n therefore_o say_v to_o be_v send_v forth_o into_o all_o the_o earth_n because_o the_o sound_n of_o these_o seven_o church_n of_o asia_n of_o their_o gift_n and_o suffering_n go_v through_o all_o the_o earth_n therefore_o call_v the_o seven_o spirit_n of_o god_n yet_o i_o will_v have_v the_o reader_n to_o understand_v
