the_o four_o quarter_n of_o the_o earth_n hold_v the_o four_o wind_n and_o the_o withhold_a the_o four_o wind_n be_v universal_a and_o the_o hurt_n to_o all_o the_o unseal_v israelite_n prove_v not_o

by_o the_o locust_n and_o beast_n which_o can_v in_o no_o sense_n be_v apply_v to_o the_o jew_n and_o all_o that_o i_o have_v be_v contend_v about_o be_v that_o those_o that_o be_v not_o hurt_v be_v the_o jew_n which_o be_v the_o seal_a number_n and_o here_o mr._n henden_fw-ge say_v the_o hurt_n introduce_v by_o the_o locust_n and_o beast_n be_v unto_o the_o nation_n i_o understand_v he_o gentile_n for_o he_o say_v it_o can_v be_v apply_v unto_o the_o jew_n and_o if_o the_o hurt_n can_v be_v apply_v unto_o the_o jew_n then_o upon_o his_o own_o argument_n the_o jew_n be_v the_o seal_a

with_o chap._n 11.2_o we_o may_v clear_o see_v say_v mr._n henden_fw-ge that_o the_o nation_n possess_v the_o court_n without_o the_o temple_n answ_n it_o be_v true_a the_o nation_n or_o gentile_n do_v take_v the_o outward_a court_n before_o it_o be_v measure_v viz._n wall_v and_o do_v tread_v the_o holy_a city_n under_o foot_n for_o which_o cause_n the_o lord_n send_v those_o plague_n on_o the_o nation_n when_o he_o have_v seal_v the_o tribe_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v hurt_v by_o the_o plague_n of_o the_o locust_n or_o angel_n although_o they_o be_v trouble_v and_o persecute_v by_o the_o beast_n for_o which_o cause_n god_n send_v plague_n upon_o he_o as_o he_o do_v upon_o pharaoh_n king_n of_o egypt_n for_o the_o case_n may_v be_v fit_o parallel_v with_o israel_n suffering_n in_o egypt_n by_o pharaoh_n king_n of_o egypt_n and_o as_o god_n send_v several_a kind_n of_o plague_n on_o pharaoh_n for_o his_o cruelty_n exercise_v against_o his_o people_n israel_n even_o so_o will_v the_o lord_n send_v several_a kind_n of_o plague_n upon_o the_o antichrist_n and_o his_o follower_n the_o nation_n for_o their_o cruelty_n again_o the_o very_a same_o people_n viz_o jew_n for_o his_o love_n unto_o they_o be_v a_o everlasting_a love_n and_o therefore_o will_v he_o have_v compassion_n on_o they_o and_o gather_v they_o and_o destroy_v all_o their_o enemy_n according_a to_o his_o word_n and_o thus_o i_o pass_v this_o reason_n also_o say_v that_o although_o it_o be_v not_o deny_v that_o there_o be_v alligorise_v in_o the_o vision_n of_o this_o book_n yet_o it_o be_v meet_a that_o we_o distinguish_v between_o reason_n and_o madness_n and_o take_v heed_n of_o make_v a_o alligory_n of_o that_o which_o be_v plain_o to_o be_v

come_v to_o the_o six_o and_o last_o reason_n cite_v by_o mr._n henden_fw-ge to_o prove_v that_o the_o seal_a number_n be_v gentile_n which_o be_v say_v he_o the_o number_n seal_v from_o among_o

nor_o utter_o deceive_v by_o the_o beast_n i_o understand_v your_o judgement_n be_v that_o they_o be_v deceive_v although_o not_o utter_o deceive_v it_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o a_o curious_a

they_o shall_v deceive_v if_o it_o be_v possible_a the_o very_a elect_a imply_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o decive_v they_o and_o three_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v the_o same_o seal_a one_o

in_o the_o text_n as_o the_o mother_n and_o the_o convert_a gentile_n as_o the_o manchild_n suck_v her_o breast_n and_o also_o because_o she_o be_v to_o be_v tread_v under_o foot_n until_o the_o

of_o iron_n and_o second_o that_o the_o faithful_a gentile_a church_n be_v the_o manchild_n which_o be_v to_o rule_v all_o nation_n with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n be_v clear_a because_o they_o be_v

for_o say_v the_o text_n revel_v 12._o he_o be_v to_o rule_v all_o nation_n with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n and_o that_o this_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v the_o faithful_a gentile_a church_n who_o be_v to_o rule_v all_o nation_n with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n read_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n speak_v by_o st._n john_n revel_v 2.26_o 27._o which_o say_v he_o that_o overcome_v and_o keep_v

in_o this_o book_n with_o their_o attendance_n it_o will_v take_v up_o a_o large_a time_n the_o which_o necessitate_v i_o but_o just_a to_o mention_v it_o as_o it_o be_v and_o to_o leave_v it_o and_o so_o i_o pass_v the_o assertion_n and_o come_v to_o the_o reason_n to_o prove_v the_o seal_a number_n gentiles_n cite_v by_o you_o which_o be_v first_o because_o the_o book_n of_o the_o revelation_n be_v not_o send_v to_o the_o jew_n to_o the_o gentile_n answ_n suppose_v it_o be_v so_o that_o all_o the_o seven_o church_n of_o asia_n be_v gentiles_n which_o i_o think_v mr._n henden_fw-ge will_v not_o affirm_v although_o some_o of_o they_o may_v be_v and_o be_v gentile_n yet_o this_o make_v not_o at_o all_o as_o i_o humble_o conceive_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o ministry_n contain_v in_o the_o vision_n see_v by_o john_n do_v not_o appertain_v to_o the_o jew_n neither_o do_v i_o say_v that_o it_o do_v whole_o appertain_v to_o the_o jew_n so_o as_o not_o to_o include_v some_o thing_n also_o which_o relate_v to_o or_o concern_v the_o gentile_a church_n but_o if_o it_o be_v only_o speak_v of_o the_o glory_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n unto_o the_o jew_n yet_o it_o will_v have_v speak_v much_o comfort_n and_o joy_n unto_o the_o gentile_a church_n in_o their_o tribulation_n because_o their_o blessing_n and_o rich_a promise_n be_v bind_v up_o as_o i_o may_v say_v among_o the_o promise_n of_o israel_n redemption_n and_o glory_n the_o which_o be_v prove_v at_o large_a in_o the_o scripture_n but_o at_o present_a i_o shall_v only_o cite_v these_o two_o place_n isa_n 60.2_o rom._n 11.12_o 13_o 14_o 15._o second_o i_o understand_v that_o john_n to_o who_o the_o vision_n be_v show_v unto_o be_v a_o jew_n as_o i_o think_v none_o will_v deny_v and_o i_o suppose_v that_o the_o vision_n be_v to_o comfort_v he_o in_o his_o persecute_a banish_a condition_n and_o unless_o john_n nature_n be_v estrange_v from_o paul_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o faithful_a jew_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o no_o small_a comfort_n to_o he_o in_o his_o tribulation_n to_o be_v show_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o brethren_n after_o the_o flesh_n the_o jew_n short_o to_o be_v confer_v upon_o they_o and_o three_o it_o be_v the_o way_n of_o god_n of_o old_a to_o comfort_v his_o servant_n the_o propet_n in_o their_o persecution_n and_o captivity_n in_o that_o way_n and_o indeed_o nothing_o will_v comfort_v a_o godly_a prophet_n or_o minister_n more_o than_o that_o thing_n namely_o for_o they_o to_o see_v the_o prosperity_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o godly_a to_o approach_v more_o especial_o if_o they_o be_v relate_v unto_o they_o in_o the_o flesh_n rom._n 9.1_o 2_o 3._o and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o way_n of_o god_n to_o comfort_v his_o prophet_n that_o way_n see_v ezek._n 40.1_o 2_o 3_o 4_o 5_o 6._o dan._n 7.1_o 2_o 13._o and_o so_o i_o pass_v this_o and_o come_v to_o the_o second_o which_o be_v reas_n 2._o the_o main_a body_n of_o the_o vision_n be_v after_o the_o day_n of_o john_n revel_v 4.1_o say_v mr._n henden_fw-ge answ_n in_o this_o reason_n as_o i_o think_v you_o want_v a_o interpreter_n to_o explain_v your_o mind_n that_o be_v to_o say_v whether_o the_o accomplish_n of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o vision_n be_v after_o john_n day_n or_o whether_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o vision_n signify_v by_o your_o word_n body_n be_v show_v or_o reveal_v to_o some_o other_o person_n after_o john_n day_n and_o if_o it_o be_v show_v unto_o another_o person_n after_o john_n day_n when_o you_o write_v again_o cite_v a_o text_n of_o scripture_n to_o signify_v the_o person_n and_o second_o resolve_v by_o scripture_n when_o john_n day_n end_v because_o the_o text_n say_v that_o he_o be_v to_o prophesy_v again_o before_o many_o people_n and_o nation_n and_o language_n and_o king_n revel_v 10.11_o i_o will_v not_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o one_o that_o make_v it_o his_o practice_n to_o ask_v curious_a question_n because_o you_o may_v as_o well_o ask_v i_o when_o the_o day_n of_o some_o other_o of_o the_o apostle_n end_v and_o demand_v i_o to_o resolve_v it_o by_o the_o scripture_n which_o can_v not_o very_o well_o be_v do_v only_o by_o good_a reason_n draw_v from_o scripture_n but_o i_o desire_v to_o hear_v your_o judgement_n about_o the_o end_n of_o john_n day_n because_o it_o be_v a_o question_n among_o christ_n own_o disciple_n john_n 21.23_o second_o because_o that_o the_o text_n say_v express_o of_o john_n that_o he_o shall_v prophesy_v again_o as_o before_o say_v and_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o that_o pprophecy_n be_v yet_o to_o be_v fullfile_v the_o which_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o before_o and_o shall_v again_o if_o the_o lord_n will_v when_o i_o come_v to_o speak_v somewhat_o of_o the_o two_o witness_n but_o as_o in_o answer_n of_o the_o two_o reason_n i_o say_v there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o the_o colour_n of_o a_o reason_n in_o it_o to_o prove_v as_o i_o conceive_v that_o those_o israelite_n be_v to_o be_v
