say_v and_o so_o call_v the_o son_n of_o david_n of_o the_o tribe_n of_o judah_n when_o as_o indeed_o he_o be_v david_n lord_n he_o be_v david_n lord_n as_o he_o be_v the_o creator_n but_o as_o he_o

●●age_n of_o david_n as_o he_o be_v a_o redeemer_n he_o may_v be_v and_o be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o david_n and_o whatsoever_o david_n do_v in_o point_n of_o war_n it_o be_v justify_v by_o jesus_n christ_n as_o he_o be_v his_o lord_n for_o it_o be_v say_v in_o scripture_n that_o david_n walk_v with_o a_o perfect_a heart_n before_o the_o lord_n in_o all_o thing_n only_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o

the_o revelation_n of_o john_n the_o first_o beast_n that_o be_v like_o a_o lion_n for_o he_o act_v as_o in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o lion_n himself_o of_o the_o tribe_n of_o judah_n as_o jacob_n do_v prophesy_v when_o he_o bless_v his_o son_n now_o i_o will_v have_v the_o reader_n to_o understand_v that_o all_o these_o four_o beast_n speak_v of_o here_o they_o be_v man_n though_o they_o be_v call_v by_o the_o revelation_n of_o john_n beast_n also_o he_o do_v distinguish_v they_o into_o four_o several_a form_n the_o first_o like_o a_o lion_n the_o second_o like_o a_o calf_n the_o three_o beast_n have_v a_o face_n like_o a_o man_n and_o the_o four_o beast_n be_v like_o a_o fly_a eagle_n these_o four_o beast_n as_o i_o say_v before_o be_v all_o man_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o good_a man_n only_o this_o i_o will_v have_v the_o reader_n to_o mind_n that_o they_o be_v call_v beast_n in_o relation_n to_o the_o work_n that_o they_o be_v to_o do_v and_o so_o they_o act_v after_o that_o manner_n as_o such_o beast_n use_v to_o do_v as_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o lion_n be_v to_o destroy_v and_o tear_v in_o piece_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o calf_n be_v to_o act_v simple_o and_o foolish_o and_o yet_o innocent_a also_o now_o the_o three_o beast_n have_v a_o face_n like_o a_o man_n that_o be_v he_o act_v as_o a_o rational_a man_n by_o wisdom_n and_o policy_n and_o the_o four_o beast_n be_v like_o a_o fly_a eagle_n that_o be_v he_o act_v in_o swiftness_n and_o strength_n and_o according_a to_o other_o property_n that_o be_v in_o a_o eagle_n and_o so_o according_a to_o the_o nature_n and_o property_n of_o these_o four_o beast_n do_v man_n act_v and_o do_v act_n in_o this_o world_n therefore_o call_v four_o beast_n when_o as_o they_o be_v no_o other_o but_o man_n but_o i_o shall_v leave_v the_o distinction_n of_o the_o person_n of_o the_o other_o three_o to_o those_o that_o be_v better_o read_v in_o history_n than_o i_o be_o neither_o be_v it_o reveal_v unto_o i_o who_o the_o person_n be_v therefore_o i_o shall_v speak_v no_o more_o than_o be_v reveal_v unto_o i_o but_o the_o reader_n may_v understand_v what_o the_o four_o beast_n be_v by_o what_o be_v afore-written_a therefore_o i_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o of_o it_o but_o go_v unto_o the_o 8_o verse_n chap._n x._o in_o the_o eight_o verse_n it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o four_o beast_n have_v each_o of_o they_o six_o wing_n about_o they_o and_o they_o be_v full_a of_o eye_n within_o and_o they_o rest_v not_o day_n and_o night_n say_v holy_a holy_a holy_a lord_n god_n almighty_a which_o be_v and_o which_o be_v and_o which_o be_v to_o come_v the_o chief_a thing_n in_o this_o verse_n to_o be_v know_v be_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o those_o six_o wing_n which_o the_o four_o beast_n have_v which_o be_v full_a of_o eye_n within_o the_o meaning_n be_v this_o that_o each_o of_o these_o four_o beast_n have_v six_o wing_n that_o be_v they_o have_v six_o wing_n apiece_o and_o these_o six_o wing_n apiece_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o revelation_n which_o give_v they_o wisdom_n to_o order_n and_o manage_v the_o affair_n of_o their_o battle_n and_o these_o six_o wing_n be_v employ_v thus_o two_o of_o they_o be_v to_o be_v employ_v before_o in_o the_o forefront_n of_o the_o battle_n and_o two_o of_o they_o be_v to_o be_v employ_v in_o the_o rear_n or_o hinder_v part_n of_o the_o army_n lest_o the_o enemy_n shall_v come_v upon_o the_o back_n of_o they_o and_o the_o other_o two_o wing_n be_v to_o be_v employ_v in_o the_o middle_n that_o in_o case_n their_o enemy_n shall_v put_v they_o to_o the_o worst_a both_o before_o and_o behind_o that_o they_o may_v fly_v away_o with_o those_o two_o wing_n in_o the_o midst_n and_o this_o be_v very_o good_a revelation_n and_o wisdom_n and_o call_v by_o the_o revelation_n of_o john_n six_o wing_n for_o the_o scripture_n do_v call_v revelation_n and_o good_a counsel_n wing_n as_o that_o say_v revel_v 12._o verse_n 14._o it_o be_v say_v there_o be_v give_v unto_o the_o woman_n two_o wing_n of_o a_o great_a eagle_n that_o she_o may_v flee_v into_o the_o wilderness_n which_o wing_n be_v no_o other_o but_o revelation_n as_o i_o have_v open_v in_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o eleven_o of_o the_o revelation_n and_o where_o we_o find_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o god_n have_v command_v his_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n to_o fly_v from_o one_o place_n to_o another_o in_o case_n of_o persecution_n it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o god_n will_v give_v they_o wing_n to_o fly_v but_o he_o will_v give_v they_o wisdom_n and_o revelation_n to_o get_v from_o it_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n they_o may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v wing_n to_o fly_v away_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n the_o four_o beast_n aforesaid_a may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v each_o of_o they_o six_o wing_n and_o as_o for_o their_o be_v full_a of_o eye_n within_o that_o be_v they_o have_v a_o spirit_n of_o discern_v both_o of_o spiritual_a and_o of_o temporal_a thing_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o these_o four_o beast_n full_a of_o eye_n before_o and_o behind_o that_o be_v they_o have_v the_o eye_n of_o faith_n before_o and_o the_o eye_n of_o reason_n behind_o that_o be_v they_o do_v discern_v by_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n before_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n and_o how_o he_o become_v flesh_n and_o shed_v his_o blood_n as_o afterward_o be_v express_v by_o these_o four_o beast_n and_o the_o eye_n of_o reason_n be_v behind_o it_o do_v discern_v and_o see_v how_o the_o matter_n go_v in_o this_o world_n for_o though_o it_o be_v say_v they_o be_v full_a of_o eye_n yet_o they_o have_v but_o two_o eye_n apiece_o that_o be_v the_o eye_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o eye_n of_o reason_n but_o neither_o of_o these_o two_o eye_n do_v offend_v they_o as_o it_o do_v many_o thousand_o now_o adays_o and_o because_o the_o seed_n of_o faith_n may_v not_o stumble_v at_o this_o interpretation_n because_o i_o say_v there_o be_v but_o two_o eye_n when_o as_o john_n say_v they_o be_v full_a of_o eye_n you_o may_v remember_v that_o i_o have_v write_v before_o concern_v the_o seven_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o but_o one_o spirit_n only_o that_o one_o spirit_n have_v seven_o several_a working_n in_o the_o seven_o church_n of_o asia_n so_o likewise_o these_o beast_n have_v but_o two_o eye_n yet_o they_o be_v full_a of_o discern_v both_o of_o spiritual_a and_o temporal_a matter_n for_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n do_v see_v up_o into_o heaven_n and_o the_o glory_n thereof_o and_o the_o eye_n of_o reason_n do_v see_v the_o utmost_a part_n of_o this_o world_n here_o below_o for_o these_o two_o eye_n do_v see_v as_o much_o as_o can_v be_v see_v if_o they_o have_v have_v forty_o eye_n they_o can_v have_v see_v no_o more_o but_o in_o regard_n they_o do_v see_v so_o much_o they_o be_v say_v by_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o they_o be_v full_a of_o eye_n before_o and_o behind_o etc._n etc._n again_o it_o be_v say_v that_o these_o four_o beast_n rest_v not_o day_n and_o night_n say_v holy_a holy_a holy_a lord_n god_n almighty_a which_o be_v and_o be_v and_o be_v to_o come_v that_o be_v they_o cease_v not_o to_o give_v glory_n honour_n and_o thanks_o to_o he_o that_o sit_v on_o the_o throne_n who_o live_v for_o ever_o and_o ever_o i_o will_v have_v the_o seed_n of_o faith_n to_o observe_v that_o these_o four_o beast_n give_v glory_n and_o honour_n unto_o christ_n here_o as_o he_o be_v god_n the_o father_n as_o isaiah_n the_o 6_o and_o 3_o where_o it_o be_v say_v and_o one_o
