to_o ezra_n ezra_n 7.11_o to_o the_o end_n 4_o of_o artaxerxes_n to_o nehemiah_n neh._n 2.7_o 8_o 9_o upon_o some_o one_o of_o these_o four_o must_v the_o head_n of_o our_o account_n be_v fix_v the_o

which_o begin_v from_o the_o time_n of_o the_o vision_n have_v no_o particular_a head_n assign_v in_o the_o text._n 3_o because_o the_o determination_n of_o the_o seventy_o week_n be_v express_o

this_o to_o we_o and_o all_o the_o people_n of_o god_n at_o this_o day_n who_o look_v for_o their_o redemption_n to_o be_v at_o hand_n to_o entertain_v such_o a_o thought_n that_o the_o little_a

that_o all_o the_o persecution_n that_o have_v every_o yet_o be_v in_o the_o world_n be_v in_o a_o manner_n but_o fleabites_a both_o for_o greatness_n and_o length_n of_o time_n to_o that_o

and_o rage_n be_v to_o be_v the_o immediate_a forerunner_n of_o the_o beast_n final_a ruin_n and_o that_o for_o this_o reason_n the_o description_n of_o this_o little_a horn_n be_v insist_v upon_o

only_o when_o as_o in_o case_n nothing_o have_v be_v speak_v of_o he_o we_o have_v a_o more_o sure_a certain_a and_o undoubted_a word_n to_o point_v we_o to_o the_o ending-time_n of_o the_o beast_n

the_o beast_n kingdom_n but_o so_o do_v the_o little_a horn_n for_o it_o be_v equivalent_a to_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o four_o monarchy_n and_o be_v a_o power_n consist_v of_o ten_o kingdom_n as_o i_o have_v before_o prove_v 4_o the_o foregoing_a conception_n savour_v too_o much_o of_o partiality_n and_o of_o too_o high_a thought_n of_o ourselves_o and_o too_o low_a of_o the_o saint_n before_o we_o whilst_o in_o effect_n by_o such_o a_o conclusion_n we_o render_v the_o holy_a ghost_n mindeless_a of_o all_o the_o suffering_n of_o so_o many_o million_o of_o the_o precicus_fw-la servant_n of_o jesus_n christ_n who_o in_o former_a age_n have_v in_o the_o flame_n by_o sword_n and_o otherwise_o sacrifice_v their_o life_n for_o the_o testimony_n of_o jesus_n against_o the_o

nor_o can_v suffer_v more_o shall_v man_n do_v their_o worst_a as_o to_o leave_v such_o a_o large_a narrative_n of_o our_o affliction_n nay_o further_o let_v i_o add_v which_o follow_v upon_o the_o other_o we_o do_v hereby_o in_o a_o manner_n accuse_v the_o most_o righteous_a god_n of_o partiality_n and_o inequality_n whilst_o we_o make_v he_o to_o forget_v all_o his_o other_o child_n much_o better_o than_o we_o and_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o we_o and_o our_o suffering_n only_o let_v we_o not_o have_v so_o much_o affection_n to_o ourselves_o as_o not_o only_o to_o lay_v aside_o all_o due_a respect_n to_o that_o bless_a cloud_n of_o witness_n our_o forerunner_n and_o better_n but_o also_o to_o make_v the_o way_n of_o the_o most_o righteous_a god_n unequal_a yet_o this_o remember_v
