the_o revelation_n be_v call_v the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o i_o still_o acknowledge_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v more_o eminent_o the_o word_n of_o god_n he_o be_v the_o original_n of_o it_o for_o as_o god_n do_v all_o thing_n else_o by_o jesus_n christ_n so_o he_o give_v out_o his_o word_n by_o he_o and_o jesus_n christ_n give_v testimony_n to_o it_o which_o be_v the_o next_o instruction_n arise_v from_o the_o point_n and_o come_v now_o to_o be_v speak_v of_o three_o be_v it_o so_o that_o this_o book_n of_o the_o revelation_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o testimony_n of_o jesus_n christ_n then_o this_o may_v inform_v we_o that_o as_o this_o so_o all_o the_o scripture_n do_v as_o true_o come_v from_o jesus_n christ_n as_o from_o god_n the_o father_n for_o he_o give_v testimony_n to_o what_o the_o father_n say_v what_o the_o father_n declare_v he_o witness_n and_o testify_v the_o same_o and_o therefore_o he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o faithful_a witness_n rev._n

subject_a matter_n of_o this_o book_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o second_o which_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o divulgation_n of_o this_o book_n and_o that_o be_v contain_v in_o these_o word_n which_o god_n give_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n to_o show_v unto_o his_o servant_n from_o whence_o arise_v this_o observation_n observe_v 2._o that_o it_o be_v the_o pleasure_n of_o god_n to_o have_v his_o servant_n acquaint_v with_o his_o secret_n and_o to_o know_v what_o be_v his_o mind_n concern_v thing_n to_o come_v this_o we_o see_v be_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o divulgation_n of_o this_o book_n because_o it_o be_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n to_o have_v his_o servant_n acquaint_v with_o it_o a_o suitable_a place_n to_o this_o be_v that_o john_n 15._o 15._o henceforth_o say_v jesus_n christ_n i_o call_v you_o not_o servant_n for_o the_o servant_n know_v no_o what_o his_o lord_n do_v but_o i_o call_v you_o friend_n for_o all_o thing_n that_o i_o have_v hear_v of_o my_o father_n i_o have_v make_v know_v unto_o you_o and_o psalm_n 25._o 14._o the_o secret_a of_o the_o lord_n be_v with_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o and_o he_o will_v show_v they_o of_o his_o covenant_n so_o that_o it_o be_v a_o clear_a truth_n that_o it_o be_v the_o pleasure_n of_o god_n to_o have_v his_o servant_n acquaint_v with_o his_o secret_n and_o to_o know_v his_o mind_n concern_v thing_n to_o come_v it_o be_v so_o in_o the_o first_o place_n it_o teach_v saint_n to_o admire_v and_o magnify_v the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n that_o do_v express_v himself_o so_o gracious_o to_o they_o as_o to_o afford_v they_o that_o honour_n to_o be_v as_o his_o friend_n in_o reveal_v his_o secret_n to_o they_o it_o be_v a_o remarkable_a passage_n amos_n 3._o 7._o sure_o the_o lord_n god_n will_v do_v nothing_o but_o he_o reveal_v his_o secret_n unto_o his_o servant_n the_o prophet_n oh_o what_o a_o high_a savour_n be_v this_o that_o the_o lord_n shall_v engage_v himself_o that_o he_o will_v do_v nothing_o but_o he_o will_v reveal_v it_o unto_o his_o servant_n as_o a_o tender_a husband_n unbosome_v himself_o and_o discover_v his_o secret_n to_o his_o belove_a wife_n and_o can_v withhold_v they_o from_o she_o so_o the_o lord_n god_n do_v express_v his_o tender_a love_n unto_o his_o servant_n in_o reveal_v his_o secret_n to_o they_o and_o he_o will_v do_v nothing_o but_o he_o will_v discover_v it_o unto_o they_o what_o cause_n have_v saint_n now_o to_o admire_v and_o extol_v that_o rich_a grace_n of_o god_n that_o be_v extend_v to_o they_o herein_o second_o do_v the_o lord_n reveal_v his_o secret_n unto_o his_o servant_n then_o ought_v they_o to_o be_v diligent_a observer_n of_o what_o he_o reveal_v unto_o they_o reveal_v thing_n be_v say_v to_o belong_v unto_o we_o and_o if_o they_o belong_v unto_o we_o than_o it_o behoove_v saint_n to_o observe_v they_o and_o to_o improve_v they_o to_o those_o end_n for_o which_o they_o be_v discover_v to_o we_o and_o if_o we_o shall_v come_v short_a of_o it_o we_o shall_v demean_v ourselves_o very_o unworthy_o when_o a_o man_n reveal_v his_o secret_n unto_o his_o dear_a friend_n if_o his_o friend_n shall_v slight_v he_o in_o it_o and_o take_v no_o notice_n of_o what_o he_o discover_v to_o he_o he_o be_v a_o very_a unkind_a and_o a_o very_a unworthy_a friend_n but_o how_o much_o more_o may_v we_o be_v say_v to_o carry_v ourselves_o unkind_o and_o unworthy_o if_o we_o shall_v slight_v the_o love_n of_o our_o god_n in_o reveal_v his_o secret_n to_o we_o by_o not_o be_v diligent_a in_o observe_v of_o they_o since_o it_o please_v the_o lord_n to_o reveal_v to_o his_o servent_n thing_n to_o come_v it_o well_o become_v they_o to_o observe_v they_o exact_o and_o so_o much_o of_o the_o second_o particular_a the_o reason_n of_o the_o divulgation_n of_o this_o book_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o three_o which_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o the_o divulgation_n of_o this_o book_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o these_o word_n who_o send_v and_o signify_v it_o by_o his_o angel_n unto_o his_o servant_n john_n so_o that_o the_o angel_n and_o john_n be_v employ_v as_o instrument_n in_o that_o work_n from_o whence_o the_o observation_n be_v this_o observe_v 3._o that_o though_o jesus_n christ_n can_v reveal_v immediate_o to_o all_o his_o servant_n all_o these_o thing_n reveal_v in_o this_o book_n yet_o it_o please_v he_o to_o choose_v rather_o to_o do_v it_o by_o instrument_n if_o it_o have_v please_v he_o he_o may_v have_v reveal_v these_o thing_n to_o all_o his_o people_n in_o all_o age_n since_o john_n immediate_o by_o his_o own_o spirit_n but_o he_o choose_v rather_o to_o do_v it_o by_o the_o write_n of_o john_n which_o he_o preserve_v and_o keep_v up_o in_o a_o high_a esteem_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o his_o saint_n as_o his_o own_o infallible_a and_o unquestionable_a truth_n and_o testimony_n or_o else_o he_o may_v have_v send_v a_o john_n or_o some_o prophet_n of_o he_o to_o have_v reveal_v these_o thing_n by_o mouth_n unto_o his_o people_n in_o every_o age_n age_n after_o age_n but_o he_o choose_v rather_o to_o do_v it_o by_o reveal_v it_o to_o john_n so_o many_o hundred_o of_o year_n ago_o and_o his_o write_n must_v be_v the_o instrument_n of_o reveal_v these_o thing_n unto_o his_o people_n and_o he_o may_v have_v reveal_v those_o thing_n unto_o john_n immediate_o himself_n without_o any_o other_o instrument_n but_o he_o choose_v to_o signify_v it_o by_o his_o angel_n to_o his_o servant_n john_n so_o he_o may_v teach_v and_o edify_v and_o build_v up_o his_o people_n immediate_o but_o he_o choose_v rather_o to_o do_v it_o by_o instrument_n by_o apostle_n and_o prophet_n and_o evangelist_n and_o pastor_n and_o teacher_n which_o he_o have_v appoint_v for_o the_o perfect_a of_o the_o saint_n for_o the_o edify_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n till_o we_o all_o come_v in_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o faith_n and_o of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n unto_o a_o perfectman_n etc._n etc._n ephes_n 4._o 11_o 12_o 13._o so_o he_o may_v likewise_o have_v reveal_v himself_o immediate_o to_o all_o his_o people_n of_o old_a but_o general_o it_o please_v he_o to_o make_v use_n either_o of_o angel_n or_o of_o his_o servant_n the_o prophet_n to_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o reveal_v his_o mind_n unto_o his_o people_n then_o now_o the_o reason_n why_o it_o please_v god_n usual_o to_o make_v use_n of_o instrument_n to_o effect_v his_o design_n by_o may_v be_v these_o the_o first_o be_v that_o which_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o all_o his_o do_n his_o own_o will_n he_o make_v use_v of_o instrument_n because_o it_o be_v his_o will_n to_o make_v use_n of_o instrument_n for_o his_o will_n be_v the_o reason_n and_o the_o rule_n of_o all_o his_o action_n second_o but_o a_o subordinate_a reason_n to_o this_o may_v be_v to_o show_v his_o sovereignty_n over_o all_o his_o people_n therefore_o he_o send_v they_o about_o his_o work_n they_o be_v all_o at_o his_o royal_a command_n as_o a_o prince_n have_v power_n over_o all_o that_o be_v in_o his_o dominion_n say_v to_o this_o man_n go_v and_o he_o go_v and_o to_o another_o come_v and_o he_o come_v and_o to_o another_o do_v this_o and_o he_o do_v it_o so_o the_o great_a king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n make_v it_o to_o appear_v that_o he_o have_v all_o his_o servant_n at_o his_o beck_n by_o send_v of_o they_o about_o several_a employment_n three_o another_o reason_n why_o he_o make_v use_v of_o

in_o sackcloth_n be_v expire_v first_o it_o may_v be_v some_o can_v receive_v it_o because_o they_o look_v for_o far_a judgement_n to_o come_v upon_o this_o kingdom_n wherein_o outward_o the_o saint_n may_v suffer_v also_o because_o of_o the_o great_a provoke_a sin_n of_o this_o kingdom_n as_o drunkenness_n and_o adultery_n and_o oath_n and_o their_o enter_v into_o so_o many_o covenant_n concern_v religious_a thing_n for_o which_o they_o have_v no_o sufficient_a warrant_n now_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o oppression_n of_o the_o poor_a and_o mean_a sort_n of_o people_n and_o the_o great_a neglect_n of_o do_v justice_n general_o etc._n etc._n now_o to_o these_o i_o say_v that_o it_o be_v true_a that_o if_o god_n shall_v deal_v with_o this_o nation_n according_a to_o its_o demerit_n then_o indeed_o no_o other_o can_v be_v expect_v but_o a_o utter_a desolation_n of_o it_o that_o it_o may_v either_o swim_v in_o blood_n or_o burn_v with_o fire_n until_o it_o be_v consume_v but_o first_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o consider_v that_o god_n have_v a_o very_a great_a number_n of_o his_o dear_a saint_n in_o this_o kingdom_n in_o who_o he_o delight_v and_o for_o who_o sake_n he_o may_v and_o i_o have_v almost_o say_v will_v spare_v this_o kingdom_n and_o spare_v the_o city_n and_o town_n and_o county_n where_o they_o be_v for_o if_o god_n will_v have_v spare_v sodom_n for_o ten_o righteous_a person_n we_o have_v a_o great_a ground_n of_o hope_n that_o he_o will_v spare_v london_n yea_o all_o england_n from_o a_o general_a devastation_n and_o desolation_n have_v thousand_o of_o righteous_a person_n in_o london_n and_o in_o all_o england_n a_o very_a great_a number_n and_o how_o many_o plot_n of_o wicked_a man_n wherein_o they_o endeavour_v the_o ruin_n of_o this_o kingdom_n have_v god_n blast_v have_v such_o a_o great_a number_n of_o his_o precious_a jewel_n in_o it_o and_o second_o what_o though_o h●ere_o be_v in_o this_o kingdom_n many_o that_o be_v great_a enemy_n to_o jesus_n christ_n yet_o god_n can_v by_o his_o covenant_n of_o grace_n bring_v many_o of_o they_o in_o to_o the_o obedience_n of_o christ_n and_o make_v they_o of_o persecutor_n to_o become_v eminent_a saint_n and_o call_v those_o his_o people_n that_o be_v not_o his_o people_n and_o why_o shall_v we_o doubt_v whether_o he_o will_v do_v so_o since_o these_o be_v the_o time_n wherein_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o do_v so_o and_o have_v already_o begin_v to_o do_v it_o but_o three_o if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o some_o be_v harden_v to_o destruction_n and_o they_o be_v never_o quiet_a but_o still_o be_v plot_v against_o the_o just_a to_o ruin_v they_o yet_o know_v they_o shall_v not_o prevail_v over_o the_o saint_n but_o in_o oppose_v they_o shall_v ruin_v themselves_o zech._n 12._o 3._o as_o appear_v in_o the_o follow_a discourse_n second_o doubtful_a thought_n may_v be_v in_o other_o that_o yet_o the_o saint_n may_v be_v overcome_v because_o they_o see_v they_o have_v so_o many_o enemy_n abroad_o and_o at_o home_n and_o they_o be_v speak_v great_a word_n and_o be_v still_o plot_v against_o they_o to_o such_o i_o say_v let_v they_o suppose_v that_o there_o be_v none_o that_o do_v dare_v to_o make_v any_o opposisition_n at_o all_o in_o this_o kingdom_n but_o that_o all_o thing_n go_v smooth_o on_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o those_o that_o be_v carry_v it_o on_o and_o if_o they_o can_v then_o believe_v that_o indeed_o god_n will_v not_o have_v his_o saint_n in_o this_o kingdom_n to_o be_v tread_v under_o foot_n by_o the_o beast_n any_o more_o then_o let_v they_o have_v the_o same_o faith_n to_o believe_v it_o now_o as_o know_v it_o be_v as_o easy_a with_o god_n to_o carry_v on_o this_o work_n over_o the_o mountain_n as_o over_o the_o plain_n and_o he_o will_v make_v the_o great_a mountain_n to_o become_v a_o plain_a before_o zerubbabel_n before_o his_o people_n zech._n 4._o 7._o he_o can_v command_v those_o that_o be_v prepare_v war_n against_o they_o to_o sit_v still_o and_o proceed_v no_o far_o and_o put_v a_o fear_n upon_o they_o or_o if_o they_o do_v go_v on_o yet_o he_o can_v make_v it_o to_o come_v to_o nothing_o and_o to_o be_v the_o most_o effectual_a way_n to_o lay_v they_o low_o and_o to_o raise_v his_o people_n high_o now_o if_o any_o particular_a man_n will_v be_v as_o sure_a of_o safety_n as_o all_o the_o witness_n in_o general_n be_v then_o if_o he_o be_v a_o man_n in_o any_o public_a employment_n let_v he_o according_a to_o his_o place_n oppose_v the_o beast_n and_o act_n for_o the_o
