bereave_v i_o in_o spirit_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o epistle_n to_o the_o wilderness_n which_o signify_v the_o gentelisme_n as_o say_v esay_n for_o she_o and_o her_o follower_n be_v gentile_n in_o effect_n as_o you_o hear_v in_o the_o sixth_o trumpet_n and_o as_o our_o master_n say_v all_o these_o that_o gather_v not_o with_o we_o they_o scatter_v for_o no_o more_o be_v there_o a_o midst_n betwixt_o god_n and_o the_o devil_n nor_o betwixt_o the_o reward_n thereof_o heaven_n and_o hell_n and_o as_o one_o of_o these_o two_o master_n we_o must_v of_o necessity_n follow_v so_o of_o the_o same_o necessity_n to_o one_o of_o these_o two_o place_n must_v we_o go_v and_o then_o i_o see_v in_o the_o wilderness_n a_o woman_n even_o babylon_n that_o whore_n sit_v on_o a_o scarlet_a colour_a and_o bloody_a beast_n even_o as_o she_o be_v sit_v before_o in_o the_o likeness_n of_o a_o man_n upon_o a_o pale_a horse_n in_o the_o four_o seal_n and_o this_o beast_n be_v full_a of_o blasphemy_n and_o have_v seven_o head_n and_o ten_o horn_n as_o you_o hear_v before_o 4_o and_o the_o woman_n be_v clothe_v with_o purple_a and_o scarlet_a and_o precious_a stone_n and_o pearl_n and_o have_v in_o her_o hand_n a_o golden_a cup_n for_o this_o monarchy_n and_o the_o monarch_n thereof_o shall_v aswell_o be_v corporal_o clothe_v with_o these_o colour_n and_o deck_v with_o precious_a stone_n as_o also_o these_o colour_n which_o be_v fine_a of_o all_o other_o and_o these_o precious_a stone_n signify_v that_o this_o monarchy_n and_o the_o seat_n thereof_o shall_v be_v most_o glorious_a and_o glance_a to_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n as_o i_o say_v before_o which_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v the_o true_a church_n by_o appearance_n of_o outward_a glory_n but_o even_o retain_v many_o of_o the_o general_a point_n of_o religion_n which_o be_v signify_v by_o her_o golden_a cup_n but_o this_o cup_n be_v full_a of_o abomination_n and_o of_o the_o uncleanness_n of_o her_o spiritual_a whoredom_n for_o albeit_o in_o many_o point_v she_o shall_v retain_v the_o truth_n which_o shall_v abuse_v man_n and_o allure_v they_o to_o she_o yet_o shall_v she_o mix_v and_o poison_v this_o truth_n with_o her_o own_o abominable_a and_o heretical_a invention_n and_o tradition_n and_o with_o the_o uncleanness_n of_o her_o spiritual_a adultery_n whereof_o you_o have_v hear_v before_o 5_o and_o on_o her_o forehead_n be_v write_v a_o mystery_n babylon_n the_o great_a to_o wit_n spiritual_a babylon_n as_o you_o hear_v before_o the_o mother_n of_o the_o whoredom_n and_o the_o abomination_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o from_o she_o shall_v proceed_v the_o great_a and_o in_o a_o manner_n the_o only_a chief_a abuse_n and_o heresy_n colour_a and_o clothe_v with_o the_o show_n and_o title_n of_o christiantie_n with_o the_o which_o these_o who_o shall_v outward_o say_v lord_n lord_n shall_v ever_o be_v infect_v with_o until_o the_o consummation_n and_o as_o a_o mother_n she_o shall_v not_o only_o breed_v but_o shall_v be_v the_o chief_a nourisher_n and_o maintainer_n of_o they_o and_o this_o be_v call_v a_o mystery_n because_o although_o this_o abuse_n shall_v be_v public_a as_o be_v signify_v by_o be_v write_v on_o her_o forehead_n yet_o none_o shall_v consider_v the_o abuse_n thereof_o but_o only_o such_o who_o eye_n it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o illuminate_v for_o that_o effect_n 6_o and_o i_o see_v the_o woman_n drunken_a with_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o of_o the_o martyr_n and_o witness_n of_o jesus_n the_o saviour_n to_o wit_n she_o shall_v greedy_o and_o cruel_o shed_v their_o blood_n without_o all_o measure_n reason_n or_o pity_n as_o you_o have_v often_o hear_v before_o and_o when_o i_o thus_o see_v she_o i_o wonder_v at_o she_o marvelous_o and_o i_o can_v not_o conjecture_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o seven_o head_n and_o ten_o horn_n that_o the_o beast_n have_v on_o who_o she_o sit_v 7_o and_o the_o angel_n who_o have_v now_o show_v she_o unto_o i_o as_o you_o now_o have_v hear_v see_v i_o thus_o wonder_n say_v unto_o i_o marvel_v not_o for_o i_o will_v reveal_v unto_o thou_o the_o mystery_n of_o this_o woman_n and_o of_o the_o beast_n she_o ride_v upon_o which_o have_v seven_o head_n and_o ten_o horn_n 8_o this_o beast_n that_o thou_o have_v see_v or_o monarchy_n
