because_o i_o both_o believ_n and_o speak_v therefore_o i_o be_o not_o incline_v to_o make_v haste_n as_o some_o who_o take_v the_o shadow_n of_o their_o own_o conceit_n for_o the_o substance_n of_o christ_n kingdom_n be_v incline_v to_o do_v for_o this_o cause_n although_o i_o will_v not_o contradict_v the_o appearance_n of_o hope_n which_o the_o author_n of_o this_o treatise_n do_v give_v

splendour_n of_o the_o whore_n and_o her_o influence_n upon_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o power_n of_o the_o papal_a sea_n as_o it_o be_v hierarchical_a be_v utter_o consume_v and_o

against_o she_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n yet_o that_o the_o war_n with_o the_o beast_n and_o with_o the_o fall_v prophet_n and_o with_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v continue_v and_o that_o the_o beast_n and_o the_o fall_v prophet_n with_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n will_v be_v find_v to_o have_v their_o friend_n not_o only_o among_o those_o who_o be_v call_v papist_n but_o even_o among_o those_o that_o be_v most_o fierce_a enemy_n to_o popery_n and_o count_v themselves_o the_o best_a of_o christian_n and_o reform_a protestant_n it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o be_v no_o friend_n to_o the_o state_n and_o predominant_a power_n and_o craftiness_n of_o the_o whore_n as_o she_o appear_v from_o without_o and_o in_o another_o place_n at_o a_o distance_n from_o we_o and_o another_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o renounce_v the_o beastly_a nature_n and_o the_o deceitfulness_n by_o which_o we_o be_v lead_v to_o embrace_v the_o image_n the_o mark_n the_o name_n and_o the_o number_n of_o the_o name_n of_o the_o beast_n within_o our_o selus_fw-la that_o be_v for_o our_o own_o interest_n and_o the_o concernment_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n i_o do_v not_o find_v in_o the_o last_o battle_n the_o whore_n name_v at_o all_o i_o find_v only_o as_o leader_n of_o the_o party_n opposite_a to_o christ_n the_o beast_n and_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o beast_n with_o his_o horn_n for_o the_o horn_n which_o be_v in_o the_o head_n of_o the_o beast_n be_v the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n which_o make_v use_v of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o beast_n and_o of_o her_o strength_n and_o be_v make_v use_n of_o by_o the_o head_n of_o the_o beast_n to_o war_n against_o the_o lamb_n and_o i_o find_v that_o these_o horn_n although_o they_o fight_v against_o the_o lamb_n yet_o that_o they_o be_v not_o always_o friend_n with_o the_o whore_n and_o for_o their_o own_o interest_n be_v sake_n not_o only_o rob_v she_o of_o her_o ornament_n but_o feed_v upon_o her_o flesh_n although_o for_o a_o season_n while_o it_o be_v their_o suppose_a advantage_n they_o suffer_v she_o to_o ride_v upon_o they_o and_o govern_v they_o with_o the_o bridle_n of_o her_o authority_n but_o when_o she_o be_v cast_v off_o from_o the_o beast_n back_n the_o beast_n and_o his_o horn_n be_v as_o strong_a as_o ever_o and_o more_o fit_a to_o fight_v in_o their_o brutal_a way_n against_o the_o lamb_n then_o before_o i_o believ_n therefore_o that_o the_o whore_n as_o she_o be_v already_o little_a considerable_a in_o comparison_n of_o what_o she_o have_v be_v may_v vanish_v and_o be_v make_v desolate_a by_o she_o own_o beastly_a complice_n before_o the_o last_o battle_n but_o i_o believ_n not_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v any_o great_a earthly_a potentate_n at_o all_o ever_o to_o appear_v for_o the_o lamb_n in_o this_o battle_n but_o that_o they_o shall_v all_o join_v always_o with_o the_o beastly_a nature_n of_o man_n against_o the_o lamblike_a holy_a nature_n of_o the_o saint_n to_o discountenance_v to_o oppose_v and_o to_o destroy_v it_o but_o we_o have_v a_o promise_n that_o although_o the_o two_o witness_n of_o the_o lamb_n shall_v be_v kill_v by_o the_o beast_n when_o they_o have_v finish_v their_o prophesy_v in_o sackcloth_n yet_o that_o the_o lamb_n when_o he_o shall_v come_v in_o his_o own_o appearance_n with_o more_o witness_n than_o two_o or_o three_o even_o with_o a_o whole_a army_n of_o witness_n not_o in_o sackcloth_n upon_o earth_n but_o in_o their_o fine_a linen_n white_a and_o clean_a and_o upon_o their_o white_a horse_n in_o their_o spiritual_a employment_n as_o citizen_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n follow_v their_o leader_n against_o the_o power_n of_o the_o earth_n when_o i_o say_v the_o lamb_n shall_v come_v thus_o attend_v the_o promise_n be_v that_o the_o beast_n and_o all_o his_o horn_n shall_v be_v overcome_v by_o he_o for_o there_o be_v no_o power_n in_o the_o world_n able_a to_o resist_v the_o unite_a strength_n of_o the_o holy_a one_o and_o the_o dint_n of_o the_o sword_n which_o have_v two_o edge_n which_o be_v able_a to_o divide_v between_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o spirit_n and_o to_o discern_v the_o subtle_a thought_n and_o the_o deceitfull_a intent_n of_o the_o beastly_a heart_n of_o man_n it_o shall_v undoubted_a slay_v they_o therefore_o although_o i_o find_v not_o the_o fall_v prophet_n here_o mention_v as_o active_a in_o lead_v on_o the_o war_n whereunto_o certain_o for_o the_o contrivance_n of_o it_o on_o the_o beast_n part_n he_o can_v be_v want_v yet_o he_o be_v

and_o delicacy_n do_v beget_v and_o set_v upon_o the_o beast_n back_n the_o say_v false_a prophet_n do_v make_v use_n of_o she_o that_o by_o her_o bait_n and_o allurement_n he_o may_v draw_v the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o drink_v out_o of_o the_o cup_n of_o her_o fornication_n but_o when_o prosperity_n and_o delicacy_n cease_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o phial_o of_o god_n wrath_n upon_o the_o beast_n and_o the_o distress_n of_o nation_n than_o she_o be_v not_o of_o use_v any_o more_o but_o the_o fall_v prophet_n which_o beget_v she_o will_v to_o serve_v the_o beast_n
