friar_n parson_n vicar_n curate_n and_o jesuit_n be_v derive_v this_o i_o understand_v to_o be_v the_o number_n of_o his_o name_n and_o this_o exposition_n agree_v with_o that_o in_o the_o verse_n follow_v where_o it_o be_v say_v let_v he_o that_o have_v understanding_n count_v the_o number_n of_o the_o beast_n by_o the_o number_n of_o the_o beast_n what_o can_v be_v understand_v but_o the_o

the_o resemblance_n and_o likeness_n of_o a_o man_n as_o follow_v to_o be_v declare_v thus_o we_o see_v who_o may_v buy_v and_o sell_v in_o this_o kingdom_n and_o who_o may_v not_o here_o be_v wisdom_n let_v he_o that_o have_v understanding_n count_v the_o number_n of_o the_o 18._o verse_n 18._o beast_n for_o it_o be_v the_o number_n of_o a_o man_n and_o his_o number_n be_v 666._o here_o be_v show_v first_o what_o be_v require_v in_o search_v out_o this_o mystery_n and_o that_o be_v wisdom_n and_o understanding_n not_o such_o as_o be_v from_o beneath_o but_o from_o above_o which_o come_v down_o from_o the_o father_n of_o light_n from_o who_o come_v every_o good_a and_o perfect_a gift_n he_o it_o be_v that_o give_v wisdom_n to_o the_o simple_a and_o the_o understanding_n of_o his_o secret_n to_o those_o that_o fear_v he_o which_o shall_v teach_v those_o that_o desire_v to_o know_v the_o mystery_n of_o his_o will_n to_o labour_v to_o be_v such_o as_o to_o who_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o reveal_v they_o then_o whatsoever_o we_o ask_v we_o shall_v receive_v of_o he_o for_o to_o such_o he_o give_v liberal_o and_o upbraid_v not_o second_o here_o be_v show_v a_o direction_n how_o to_o employ_v a_o man_n wisdom_n in_o find_v out_o this_o mystery_n and_o that_o be_v by_o count_v or_o reckon_v the_o number_n of_o this_o beast_n three_o a_o reason_n why_o the_o number_n of_o the_o beast_n be_v to_o be_v count_v because_o it_o be_v the_o number_n of_o a_o man_n that_o be_v it_o agree_v with_o and_o be_v answerable_a to_o the_o part_n of_o a_o man_n and_o so_o be_v the_o more_o easy_o to_o be_v find_v for_o as_o we_o know_v the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n be_v compare_v in_o the_o scripture_n to_o the_o natural_a body_n of_o a_o man_n as_o in_o 1._o cor._n 12._o 12._o for_o as_o the_o body_n be_v one_o and_o have_v many_o member_n and_o all_o the_o member_n of_o that_o one_o body_n be_v many_o be_v one_o body_n so_o also_o be_v christ_n jesus_n and_o in_o the_o 27._o verse_n the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n he_o say_v you_o be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o member_n in_o particular_a etc._n etc._n so_o in_o the_o ephes_n 1._o 22._o 23._o christ_n be_v give_v to_o be_v head_n over_o all_o thing_n to_o the_o church_n which_o be_v his_o body_n thus_o as_o the_o true_a church_n be_v call_v and_o compare_v to_o a_o body_n so_o the_o catholic_n affirm_v that_o they_o only_o be_v that_o church_n and_o that_o body_n and_o that_o the_o particular_a part_n and_o member_n of_o their_o church_n be_v the_o full_a number_n thereof_o now_o whereas_o they_o say_v they_o be_v the_o church_n let_v we_o say_v they_o be_v the_o beast_n and_o whereas_o they_o say_v their_o particular_a part_n and_o member_n make_v up_o the_o number_n of_o the_o church_n let_v we_o say_v their_o particular_a part_n and_o member_n make_v up_o the_o number_n of_o the_o beast_n and_o so_o we_o find_v the_o true_a interpretation_n of_o this_o scripture_n further_o here_o be_v set_v down_o the_o number_n
consider_v who_o be_v the_o giver_n not_o christ_n he_o give_v his_o disciple_n no_o power_n to_o make_v law_n but_o give_v they_o charge_n to_o teach_v believer_n to_o observe_v all_o thing_n whatsoever_o he_o have_v command_v they_o it_o be_v certain_a therefore_o that_o this_o power_n be_v give_v they_o not_o by_o god_n but_o by_o man_n namely_o by_o king_n &_o prince_n for_o the_o state_n &_o degree_n of_o man_n consider_v it_o be_v plain_a that_o none_o can_v give_v power_n to_o make_v law_n but_o such_o as_o be_v sovereign_n by_o such_o therefore_o this_o power_n to_o make_v law_n be_v give_v unto_o this_o beast_n but_o what_o shall_v move_v sovereign_n to_o give_v power_n to_o bishop_n &_o minister_n to_o make_v law_n for_o the_o church_n nothing_o verily_a but_o blind_a devotion_n for_o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o god_n &_o of_o his_o word_n think_v it_o the_o best_a way_n to_o keep_v peace_n &_o unity_n in_o the_o church_n whereas_o indeed_o it_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o strife_n &_o dissension_n &_o at_o length_n by_o that_o mean_n iniquity_n be_v establish_v for_o a_o law_n &_o god_n word_n whole_o reject_v &_o cast_v aside_o as_o unmeet_a for_o layman_n to_o use_v now_o as_o in_o all_o lawful_a proceed_n prince_n be_v god_n minister_n in_o god_n stead_n unto_o their_o subject_n and_o people_n so_o in_o give_v this_o power_n to_o this_o beast_n they_o be_v the_o dragon_n minister_n and_o instrument_n whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o power_n be_v give_v unto_o the_o beast_n to_o make_v but_o it_o be_v not_o note_v what_o shall_v be_v make_v it_o argue_v that_o the_o thing_n make_v be_v of_o that_o nature_n and_o quality_n that_o they_o be_v not_o worthy_a of_o any_o name_n the_o maker_n themselves_o use_v to_o call_v their_o act_n canon_n constitution_n and_o law_n but_o false_o for_o if_o they_o be_v such_o indeed_o than_o man_n may_v have_v some_o good_a use_n of_o they_o but_o that_o no_o man_n can_v have_v therefore_o it_o be_v but_o falsehood_n and_o deceit_n so_o to_o name_v they_o it_o be_v like_o the_o call_n of_o one_o carve_a image_n s._n peter_n another_o s._n paul_n another_o s._n john_n etc._n etc._n that_o be_v to_o name_n thing_n that_o which_o they_o be_v not_o and_o that_o be_v to_o lie_v in_o that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o power_n be_v give_v unto_o the_o beast_n to_o make_v 42._o month_n it_o show_v that_o the_o beast_n time_n be_v limit_v and_o see_v that_o the_o time_n be_v limit_v we_o must_v find_v that_o the_o time_n of_o make_v of_o the_o catholic_n church_n agree_v with_o this_o stint_n before_o we_o can_v be_v sure_a that_o it_o be_v the_o beast_n here_o represent_v wherefore_o consider_v that_o the_o ecclesiastical_a state_n begin_v to_o make_v about_o the_o year_n of_o our_o

the_o counsel_n of_o trent_n be_v the_o last_o wherein_o the_o beast_n act_v the_o last_o act_n of_o this_o make_n and_o fulfil_v the_o measure_n of_o that_o iniquity_n and_o therefore_o be_v now_o to_o receive_v judgement_n and_o condemnation_n from_o the_o lord_n as_o be_v hereafter_o in_o this_o pprophecy_n declare_v so_o that_o if_o we_o account_v a_o year_n for_o a_o day_n and_o thirty_o
