near_o as_o i_o can_v by_o that_o order_n which_o christ_n himself_o and_o his_o apostle_n well_o near_o 1600._o year_n past_a have_v declare_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o therein_o i_o will_v examine_v how_o many_o of_o those_o sign_n and_o token_n be_v past_a and_o how_o many_o of_o they_o do_v yet_o remain_v to_o be_v fulfil_v then_o will_v i_o see_v whither_o this_o be_v not_o the_o very_a time_n that_o christ_n have_v prescribe_v to_o return_v again_o or_o if_o the_o time_n be_v not_o yet_o full_a complete_a whither_o it_o be_v not_o so_o very_o near_o thereunto_o as_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o the_o same_o shall_v not_o be_v long_o defer_v last_o i_o will_v do_v my_o best_a to_o stir_v up_o the_o mind_n of_o all_o man_n to_o repentance_n and_o to_o prepare_v themselves_o with_o all_o the_o diligence_n &_o duty_n they_o can_v show_v in_o this_o life_n to_o go_v forth_o of_o meet_a with_o that_o great_a prince_n of_o glory_n christ_n jesus_n albeit_o our_o forefather_n in_o every_o age_n since_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n have_v many_o sign_n and_o token_n whereby_o every_o one_o may_v look_v for_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o that_o age_n werein_o he_o live_v and_o the_o rather_o because_o paul_n say_v in_o his_o time_n that_o the_o example_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v write_v for_o a_o warn_n unto_o we_o upon_o who_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n be_v come_v 11_o 1._o cor._n 10_o 11_o yet_o because_o the_o perceive_v by_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n that_o there_o be_v other_o token_n to_o be_v perform_v which_o neither_o they_o have_v see_v nor_o yet_o do_v well_o conceive_v they_o may_v not_o so_o bold_o prescribe_v the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o be_v at_o hand_n as_o we_o may_v now_o affirm_v it_o to_o be_v for_o although_o saint_n paul_n as_o i_o have_v show_v do_v say_v that_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n be_v come_v upon_o they_o in_o his_o day_n yet_o lie_v bad_a the_o thessalonian_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v deceive_v by_o any_o spirit_n or_o word_n or_o letter_n to_o think_v that_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v then_o at_o hand_n 2.2_o 2._o thess_n 2.2_o for_o he_o teach_v they_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v first_o a_o fall_v away_o from_o the_o faith_n and_o that_o antichrist_n shall_v be_v reveal_v before_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n which_o thing_n be_v not_o to_o be_v perform_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o so_o few_o year_n but_o require_v a_o long_a time_n and_o many_o other_o matter_n depend_v thereon_o now_o howsoever_o this_o pprophecy_n of_o antichrist_n may_v seem_v to_o take_v a_o latter_a place_n in_o the_o holy_a history_n after_o some_o other_o sign_n and_o token_n of_o christ_n come_n yet_o if_o we_o have_v regard_n to_o the_o first_o time_n when_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n be_v declare_v to_o be_v that_o antichrist_n it_o may_v take_v the_o first_o place_n before_o all_o other_o sign_n accomplish_v after_o christ_n his_o ascension_n nevertheless_o if_o we_o mean_v so_o plain_a &_o perfect_v a_o reveal_n of_o antichrist_n as_o it_o shall_v be_v no_o less_o evident_a unto_o all_o other_o nation_n of_o christendom_n than_o it_o be_v now_o unto_o we_o who_o do_v sensible_o see_v &_o perfect_o know_v he_o to_o be_v the_o very_a man_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v prophesy_v before_o whereunto_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v respect_n in_o put_v this_o sign_n after_o other_o in_o the_o place_n of_o matthew_n mark_v and_o else_o where_n then_o may_v it_o be_v call_v the_o last_o sign_n or_o token_n of_o all_o because_o as_o the_o publish_n of_o the_o word_n over_o all_o the_o world_n grow_v by_o little_a and_o little_a so_o the_o perfect_a reveal_n of_o antichrist_n unto_o all_o nation_n be_v daily_o more_o and_o more_o plain_o and_o evident_o discern_v thereby_o and_o in_o this_o respect_n the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n with_o the_o consume_n of_o he_o shall_v end_v both_o together_o at_o the_o very_a come_n of_o christ_n and_o not_o before_o because_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n mouth_n shall_v consume_v he_o but_o the_o brightness_n of_o his_o come_n shall_v utter_o destroy_v he_o 2.8_o 2._o thess_n 2.8_o and_o both_o this_o and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o token_n that_o depend_v on_o the_o same_o be_v most_o evident_a and_o undoubted_a testimony_n of_o the_o latter_a dav_fw-mi wherefore_o i_o will_v first_o show_v how_o all_o those_o thing_n be_v perform_v partly_o in_o other_o time_n before_o but_o most_o especial_o in_o this_o age_n of_o we_o within_o which_o time_n also_o i_o will_v declare_v all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o token_n of_o christ_n come_v to_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n full_o complete_a when_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v increase_v and_o grow_v to_o the_o full_a by_o preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n begin_v also_o to_o grow_v great_a in_o italy_n by_o decay_v of_o the_o empire_n &_o by_o the_o gift_n and_o donation_n of_o prince_n than_o do_v also_o the_o same_o bishop_n fall_v from_o true_a religion_n to_o superstition_n from_o the_o right_a service_n of_o god_n to_o false_a worship_v from_o sincerity_n to_o hypocrisy_n from_o the_o rule_n of_o god_n word_n to_o the_o reason_n &_o decree_n of_o man_n and_o as_o his_o greatness_n increase_v &_o the_o emperor_n power_n diminish_v so_o the_o apostasy_n of_o that_o church_n be_v the_o more_o discern_v &_o antichrist_n of_o rome_n the_o more_o reveal_v and_o so_o when_o rome_n the_o seat_n of_o the_o empire_n be_v utter_o remove_v from_o the_o temporal_a magistrate_n and_o whole_o invest_v in_o the_o pope_n and_o that_o the_o pope_n claim_v to_o be_v the_o universal_a bishop_n there_o be_v now_o nothing_o to_o hinder_v but_o that_o all_o man_n may_v discern_v how_o far_o the_o church_n be_v fall_v from_o god_n &_o who_o be_v very_a antichrist_n the_o author_n of_o the_o same_o howbeit_o though_o he_o by_o this_o mean_v show_v himself_o to_o be_v that_o antichrist_n which_o both_o the_o prophet_n and_o also_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n have_v so_o manifest_o describe_v before_o hand_n as_o there_o can_v be_v nothing_o in_o the_o scriture_n more_o plain_a yet_o can_v it_o not_o be_v say_v that_o antichrist_n be_v full_o reveal_v till_o this_o latter_a age_n of_o we_o both_o because_o the_o infinite_a measure_n of_o his_o iniquity_n be_v never_o before_o fulfil_v with_o so_o great_a power_n and_o sign_n and_o lie_a wonder_n as_o it_o have_v be_v now_o within_o these_o few_o age_n past_a and_o also_o because_o he_o make_v prince_n his_o minister_n and_o vassal_n to_o see_v that_o his_o commandment_n be_v observe_v and_o his_o honour_n dignity_n and_o power_n maintain_v and_o that_o none_o shall_v be_v so_o hardy_a as_o to_o bring_v his_o name_n in_o question_n or_o to_o find_v fault_n with_o any_o part_n of_o his_o superstition_n but_o when_o it_o please_v god_n of_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n to_o put_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o king_n and_o prince_n prudent_o to_o snake_n off_o his_o intolerable_a yoke_n from_o their_o shoulder_n and_o to_o send_v forth_o preacher_n of_o his_o word_n that_o shall_v open_o pronounce_v he_o to_o be_v very_a antichrist_n and_o to_o prove_v it_o to_o his_o face_n out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o he_o be_v that_o man_n of_o sin_n foreshow_v in_o the_o scripture_n than_o it_o may_v true_o be_v say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o impediment_n between_o he_o and_o home_n but_o that_o he_o be_v perfect_o infallible_o and_o express_o discover_v teach_v &_o know_v to_o be_v antichrist_n among_o all_o they_o that_o profess_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n wherefore_o the_o matter_n be_v so_o true_a as_o both_o the_o word_n of_o god_n itself_o affirm_v and_o the_o testimony_n and_o proof_n of_o innumerable_a writer_n extant_a invincible_o confirm_v i_o need_v not_o wade_v any_o further_a herein_o than_o be_v necessary_a to_o
