antichristian_a to_o clear_v this_o latter_a the_o former_a be_v without_o question_n and_o be_v it_o not_o so_o when_o because_o of_o these_o plague_n you_o have_v 7._o verse_n 7._o antichrist_n in_o

there_o be_v none_o other_o in_o all_o this_o prophecy_n that_o do_v resemble_v they_o save_v only_o the_o vial_n it_o remain_v a_o unshaken_a truth_n the_o plague_n here_o mention_v be_v no_o other_o

that_o we_o see_v what_o it_o be_v these_o witness_n do_v that_o make_v they_o appear_v another_o moses_n and_o aaron_n which_o do_v we_o have_v then_o at_o once_o a_o full_a description_n and_o

the_o letter_n namely_o that_o indeed_o and_o in_o the_o letter_n the_o witness_n shall_v turn_v water_n into_o blood_n but_o as_o we_o understand_v their_o destroy_v their_o enemy_n with_o fire_n their_o shut_v heaven_n that_o it_o rain_v not_o mystical_o before_o so_o must_v we_o understand_v their_o turn_a water_n into_o blood_n also_o but_o because_o i_o have_v already_o show_v these_o plague_n be_v no_o other_o than_o those_o of_o the_o vial_n the_o better_a to_o compass_v the_o meaning_n it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o for_o we_o to_o turn_v over_o to_o the_o 16_o chapter_n of_o this_o prophecy_n where_o the_o vial_n be_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n profess_o mention_v where_o if_o we_o find_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o turn_n water_n into_o blood_n and_o smite_v the_o earth_n with_o plague_n there_o we_o shall_v clear_o see_v what_o to_o understand_v by_o they_o here_o also_o they_o be_v all_o one_o only_o here_o but_o glance_v at_o there_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n profess_o and_o at_o large_a discover_v in_o that_o 16_o chapter_n therefore_o for_o i_o turn_v over_o thither_o we_o find_v that_o upon_o the_o pour_v forth_o of_o the_o second_o and_o three_o vial_n the_o water_n be_v turn_v into_o blood_n hoth_v these_o i_o conceive_v be_v here_o point_v at_o for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n seem_v in_o this_o place_n to_o give_v a_o touch_n upon_o the_o vial_n sum_v they_o up_o brief_o under_o two_o head_n viz._n either_o plague_n on_o the_o water_n or_o plague_n on_o the_o eatrh_n and_o so_o to_o be_v apprehend_v thrust_v as_o many_o as_o will_v fall_v under_o a_o head_n together_o there_o be_v two_o vial_n that_o will_v come_v under_o this_o head_n of_o turn_v water_n into_o blood_n who_o do_v not_o ready_o conceive_v both_o these_o vial_n must_v hereby_o be_v hereby_o signify_v so_o that_o it_o will_v be_v needful_a we_o inquire_v the_o meaning_n of_o they_o both_o to_o begin_v therefore_o with_o the_o second_o vial_n the_o first_o of_o those_o that_o turn_v water_n into_o blood_n which_o in_o that_o 3_o verse_n of_o the_o 16_o chapter_n we_o find_v be_v pour_v out_o upon_o the_o sea_n and_o the_o effect_n it_o become_v as_o the_o blood_n of_o a_o

according_a to_o which_o account_n the_o two_o witness_n may_v well_o be_v two_o single_a person_n also_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o turn_a water_n into_o blood_n and_o smite_v the_o earth_n with_o all_o plague_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o the_o letter_n also_o beside_o that_o in_o the_o general_n before_o mention_v be_v because_o some_o such_o thing_n as_o this_o be_v expect_v to_o be_v

yet_o further_o crave_v leave_v to_o offer_v a_o other_o interpretation_n of_o this_o prophecy_n which_o after_o i_o enter_v upon_o this_o work_n i_o have_v meet_v withal_o avow_v also_o by_o some_o late_a protestant_a writer_n that_o if_o so_o be_v any_o thing_n may_v be_v make_v of_o it_o it_o may_v be_v here_o near_o at_o hand_n and_o those_o who_o shall_v desire_v to_o see_v as_o much_o at_o

interpretation_n be_v not_o the_o same_o with_o that_o gross_a popish_a which_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o discourse_n be_v there_o propound_v nor_o upon_o the_o same_o ground_n contend_v for_o yet_o withal_o though_o not_o the_o same_o yet_o near_o border_v upon_o and_o of_o near_a affinity_n to_o it_o they_o indeed_o who_o first_o cry_v up_o that_o opinion_n which_o be_v former_o mention_v as_o the_o popish_a do_v it_o upon_o mistake_n the_o papist_n that_o since_o have_v propagate_v it_o do_v it_o mere_o in_o design_n neither_o whereof_o this_o interpretation_n by_o and_o by_o to_o be_v name_v may_v be_v challenge_v with_o all_o upon_o mistake_n i_o say_v they_o first_o do_v it_o for_o as_o some_o well_o observe_v antichrist_n be_v a_o counter-christ_n and_o so_o the_o come_n of_o antichrist_n a_o counter_a resemblance_n of_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v there_o be_v no_o less_o mistake_n in_o the_o come_n of_o the_o one_o than_o there_o be_v in_o the_o come_n of_o the_o other_o for_o example_n the_o jew_n expect_v christ_n to_o come_v when_o he_o do_v come_v and_o yet_o because_o they_o fancy_v he_o another_o than_o indeed_o he_o be_v to_o be_v and_o his_o come_n to_o be_v in_o outward_a pomp_n and_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o some_o most_o potent_a temporal_a monarch_n they_o know_v he_o not_o when_o he_o be_v come_v so_o the_o christian_n expect_v antichrist_n to_o come_v at_o that_o time_n when_o he_o come_v indeed_o but_o because_o they_o fancy_v he_o to_o be_v some_o strange_a barbarous_a tyrant_n that_o by_o the_o sword_n and_o power_n of_o arm_n shall_v not_o only_o destroy_v the_o church_n but_o conquer_v the_o world_n therefore_o they_o know_v he_o not_o when_o he_o be_v come_v so_o that_o as_o christ_n come_v to_o his_o own_o and_o his_o own_o receive_v he_o not_o so_o antichrist_n come_v to_o those_o that_o be_v not_o his_o own_o and_o they_o eschew_v he_o not_o so_o that_o mistake_v beget_v the_o forementioned_a opinion_n concern_v antichrist_n and_o the_o severall_n hereupon_o depend_v and_o then_o it_o become_v afterward_o propogate_v in_o design_n i_o say_v indesign_n for_o the_o popish_a faction_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v draw_v off_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n from_o look_v upon_o the_o pope_n as_o antichrist_n have_v bid_v you_o not_o to_o look_v for_o antichrist_n till_o the_o
