Viz. whether the two witnesses are slain, yea or no, is modestly discussed. / Preached at Lawrence-Jewry in London, by F.W. lecturer of the said place. It is this seven and twentieth day of April, 1643. ordered by the Committee of the House of Commons in Parliament, concerning printing, that these sermons intituled, the two witnesses, be printed for Luke Fawne.

in_o office_n only_o their_o resurrection_n a_o rise_n again_o into_o office_n and_o now_o conceive_v their_o ascend_n up_o to_o heaven_n a_o real_a and_o proper_a ascension_n not_o but_o that_o

we_o now_o proceed_v to_o take_v the_o severall_n in_o their_o order_n first_o the_o voice_n from_o heaven_n call_v they_o up_o thither_o and_o they_o hear_v a_o voice_n from_o heaven_n say_v to_o

these_o witness_n rise_v up_o again_o they_o rise_v up_o into_o their_o prophetical_a office_n by_o virtue_n of_o their_o resurrection_n they_o have_v a_o liberty_n to_o prophesy_v again_o and_o

exceed_v small_a before_o may_v be_v one_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v say_v they_o prophesy_v in_o sackcloth_n in_o sum_n what_o you_o can_v conceive_v be_v proper_o opposite_a to_o sackcloth_n as_o clear_n they_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n maintenance_n esteem_n and_o the_o like_a this_o be_v the_o witness_n ascend_v up_o to_o heaven_n and_o so_o sometime_o ascend_v up_o to_o heaven_n

not_o only_o to_o rise_v again_o but_o to_o ascend_v up_o to_o heaven_n also_o to_o be_v follow_v with_o shouting_n and_o acclamation_n have_v their_o sackcloth_n take_v off_o and_o the_o germent_n

these_o witness_n rise_v again_o in_o their_o successor_n make_v this_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o witness_n here_o mention_v for_o if_o their_o rise_n again_o mean_v their_o restore_n to_o
