a_o little_a high_o 9_o and_o yet_o below_o god_n too_o in_o the_o use_n of_o god_n ordinance_n but_o in_o a_o outward_a profession_n to_o the_o flesh_n live_v by_o sense_n through_o a_o mere_a form_n

of_o the_o beast_n be_v declare_v 7._o and_o that_o his_o determinate_a time_n be_v quite_o finish_v and_o though_o he_o strive_v mighty_o like_o a_o die_a hog_n for_o life_n at_o the_o last_o gasp_n

begin_v to_o take_v the_o kingdom_n and_o to_o reign_v of_o who_o kingdom_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o end_n second_o note_v that_o under_o the_o sound_n of_o the_o six_o angel_n the_o witness_n be_v to_o be_v kill_v but_o to_o arise_v from_o death_n and_o ascend_v up_o to_o god_n in_o the_o cloud_n and_o their_o rise_n be_v the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o earth_n woe_n even_o to_o such_o as_o

the_o saint_n under_o the_o name_n of_o erroneous_a roundhead_n do_v god_n good_a service_n and_o it_o appear_v they_o be_v four_o evil_a angel_n because_o they_o be_v bind_v up_o like_o prisoner_n

the_o three_o part_n of_o man_n ☞_o it_o appear_v they_o be_v four_o evil_a angel_n if_o we_o consider_v first_o what_o the_o great_a river_n euphrates_n be_v i_o believe_v this_o euphrates_n be_v

righteousness_n reign_v in_o the_o earth_n that_o be_v in_o mankind_n forever_o and_o ever_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o beast_n or_o serpent_n be_v call_v euphrates_n 14._o because_o as_o the_o river_n euphrates_n in_o the_o history_n overflow_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n so_o this_o spirit_n of_o darkness_n overflow_v mankind_n and_o drown_v they_o in_o ignorance_n pride_n covetousness_n

and_o the_o saint_n be_v call_v king_n of_o the_o east_n for_o their_o knowledge_n 2._o and_o for_o their_o faithfulness_n to_o god_n for_o as_o the_o wise_a man_n or_o king_n of_o the_o east_n find_v

spiritual_a 27_o for_o the_o anoint_v teach_v they_o all_o thing_n and_o they_o have_v experience_n of_o the_o love_n sincerity_n humility_n peace_n and_o the_o like_a which_o be_v the_o law_n and_o

be_v the_o serpent_n that_o will_v destroy_v christ_n or_o the_o anoint_v for_o if_o pride_n rule_v which_o be_v the_o serpent_n in_o the_o child_n of_o disobedience_n than_o humility_n which_o be_v

but_o they_o hold_v forth_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n in_o faith_n and_o patience_n till_o god_n finish_v his_o work_n 14._o and_o thereby_o destroy_v the_o enemy_n now_o when_o pride_n covetousness_n injustice_n envy_n self-love_n and_o the_o like_a be_v dry_v up_o like_o a_o river_n that_o can_v run_v than_o the_o way_n be_v prepare_v for_o these_o king_n of_o the_o east_n 2._o to_o take_v the_o kingdom_n and_o to_o reign_v in_o with_o christ_n and_o righteousness_n for_o ever_o and_o these_o four_o angel_n be_v bind_v up_o in_o this_o river_n euphrates_n and_o be_v
