suppose_v pagan_a rome_n fall_v about_o 300_o year_n after_o christ_n s_o resurrection_n shall_v take_v up_o such_o a_o prophecy_n against_o so_o manifest_a assurance_n that_o it_o must_v run_v on_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n that_o even_o the_o wise_a papist_n can_v deny_v it_o but_o what_o violence_n must_v they_o use_v to_o it_o that_o believe_v the_o papacy_n to_o be_v the_o beast_n and_o yet_o so_o begin_v the_o thousand_o year_n that_o they_o must_v be_v long_o ago_o before_o he_o finish_v can_v such_o a_o prejudice_n be_v bring_v from_o this_o prophecy_n or_o scripture_n in_o
