the_o saracen_n goth_n and_o vandal_n and_o the_o zelots_n in_o judaea_n be_v not_o the_o locust_n mention_v in_o this_o place_n for_o they_o be_v rather_o lead_v by_o satan_n than_o by_o such_o a_o

scorpion_n and_o there_o be_v sting_n in_o their_o tail_n and_o with_o these_o sting_n do_v they_o torment_v man_n v_o 10._o and_o the_o pain_n that_o come_v of_o these_o torment_n be_v like_o the_o

11._o be_v there_o not_o also_o a_o great_a difference_n between_o a_o destroyer_n of_o good_a man_n and_o a_o destroyer_n of_o wicked_a man_n now_o satan_n be_v a_o main_a destroyer_n of_o good_a

which_o follow_v after_o it_o both_o in_o vision_n and_o execution_n be_v not_o mean_v of_o the_o march_v of_o vespasian_n and_o his_o army_n to_o begin_v the_o siege_n 4._o to_o what_o purpose_n shall_v our_o saviour_n show_v john_n in_o this_o vision_n the_o besiege_n or_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n which_o be_v so_o plain_o tell_v he_o before_o mat._n 24._o 2._o luk._n 19_o 43_o 44_o

of_o they_o 6._o the_o army_n here_o speak_v of_o come_v from_o euphrates_n v_o 14._o which_o be_v a_o river_n in_o asia_n but_o vespasian_n army_n come_v from_o rome_n which_o be_v a_o city_n in_o

i_o answer_v that_o the_o angel_n can_v create_v they_o out_o of_o nothing_o for_o that_o be_v only_a god_n work_n and_o therefore_o they_o have_v they_o from_o god_n who_o do_v either_o create_v they_o out_o of_o nothing_o or_o else_o do_v make_v they_o out_o of_o matter_n preexistent_a as_o the_o locust_n in_o the_o former_a trumpet_n out_o of_o smoke_n v_o 3._o and_o if_o it_o be_v ask_v again_o what_o become_v of_o these_o body_n when_o they_o lay_v they_o down_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o they_o return_v into_o their_o former_a principle_n again_o and_o in_o case_n they_o be_v create_v out_o of_o nothing_o they_o return_v into_o nothing_o and_o in_o case_n they_o be_v make_v of_o matter_n preexistent_a they_o return_v into_o it_o again_o but_o whatever_o become_v of_o these_o body_n afterward_o this_o be_v certain_a out_o of_o scripture_n that_o the_o angel_n can_v assume_v they_o and_o lay_v they_o down_o again_o for_o they_o have_v do_v so_o heretofore_o and_o therefore_o they_o may_v do_v so_o again_o in_o the_o case_n that_o be_v now_o before_o we_o 6._o the_o angel_n can_v make_v use_n of_o live_a body_n that_o be_v before_o create_v and_o leave_v they_o when_o they_o have_v do_v as_o satan_n make_v use_v of_o the_o serpent_n to_o beguile_v the_o woman_n gen._n 3._o 1_o 2._o and_o the_o good_a angel_n make_v use_v of_o balaams_n ass_n to_o speak_v unto_o his_o master_n numb_a 22._o 28._o and_o the_o angel_n in_o the_o former_a trumpet_n make_v use_v of_o the_o locust_n to_o torment_v man_n with_o their_o sting_n so_o the_o angel_n in_o this_o trumpet_n may_v make_v use_n of_o these_o creature_n to_o destroy_v the_o three_o part_n of_o man_n though_o they_o assume_v they_o not_o 7._o if_o we_o read_v the_o fifteen_o verse_n we_o shall_v there_o find_v that_o the_o angel_n have_v a_o special_a hand_n in_o this_o business_n for_o they_o be_v prepare_v to_o slay_v the_o three_o part_n of_o man_n which_o this_o army_n be_v to_o slay_v and_o therefore_o we_o have_v reason_n for_o to_o think_v that_o either_o these_o horseman_n be_v angel_n or_o else_o have_v the_o guidance_n of_o the_o angel_n in_o this_o work_n and_o we_o need_v not_o say_v that_o there_o be_v as_o many_o angel_n employ_v in_o this_o work_n as_o there_o be_v horseman_n mention_v v_o 16._o but_o four_o angel_n beside_o the_o angel_n that_o do_v sound_v this_o trumpet_n may_v suffice_v to_o guide_v these_o creature_n in_o this_o work_n as_o one_o angel_n do_v suffice_v to_o guide_v the_o locust_n in_o the_o former_a trumpet_n 8._o the_o book_n seal_v with_o seven_o seal_n of_o which_o this_o prophecy_n be_v a_o part_n be_v such_o a_o special_a book_n of_o prophecy_n as_o no_o man_n in_o heaven_n or_o on_o earth_n or_o under_o the_o earth_n be_v count_v worthy_a to_o open_v the_o book_n and_o look_v into_o it_o but_o jesus_n christ_n rev._n 5._o 3._o therefore_o we_o may_v not_o think_v that_o this_o book_n of_o prophecy_n contain_v only_a thing_n ordinary_a usual_a or_o accustom_a such_o as_o church_n heresy_n and_o turkish_a war_n be_v which_o though_o they_o be_v grievous_a and_o calamitous_a while_o they_o last_o and_o continue_v yet_o they_o be_v common_a usual_a and_o accustom_a thing_n which_o the_o world_n and_o church_n of_o god_n be_v well_o acquaint_v with_o we_o must_v rather_o look_v that_o in_o this_o book_n of_o
