be_v ●ut_v at_o this_o time_n the_o six_o head_n shall_v lie_v a_o bleed_a and_o indeed_o it_o do_v so_o for_o just_a this_o very_a year_n as_o some_o observe_v several_a of_o the_o ten_o horn_n begin_v to_o appear_v upon_o the_o seven_o head_n the_o three_o thing_n we_o be_v to_o inquire_v i_o say_v several_a of_o those_o ten_o horn_n those_o ten_o kingdom_n into_o which_o the_o roman_a

be_v very_o low_a when_o several_a of_o the_o horn_n of_o the_o seven_o head_n which_o as_o be_v in_o nature_n so_o here_o be_v after_o the_o head_n be_v now_o become_v visible_a and_o conspicuous_a

whether_o from_o the_o first_o incursion_n of_o the_o goth_n upon_o the_o roman_a empire_n in_o the_o year_n 365_o or_o when_o they_o sack_v rome_n in_o the_o year_n 410_o or_o else_o in_o 455_o when_o the_o empire_n of_o the_o west_n expire_v or_o from_o any_o point_n of_o time_n between_o any_o of_o these_o i_o answer_v to_o begin_v with_o it_o from_o this_o or_o that_o precise_a year_n i_o

the_o empire_n 365_o and_o the_o sack_n of_o rom_n 410._o sometime_o near_o theodosius_n the_o great_a his_o come_n to_o the_o empire_n which_o historian_n will_v tell_v you_o be_v about_o the_o

overwhelm_v by_o they_o about_o this_o time_n i_o mean_v some_o period_n between_o 370_o and_o 380_o i_o shall_v begin_v to_o reckon_v the_o beast_n 42_o month_n as_o also_o make_v it_o the_o common_a

the_o witness_n one_o thousand_o two_o hundred_o and_o threescore_o year_n near_o that_o time_n i_o mean_v 380_o which_o in_o all_o likelihood_n we_o must_v do_v then_o clear_o they_o reach_v over_o

be_v common_o believe_v by_o this_o reckon_n we_o leave_v the_o beast_n the_o space_n while_o six_o vial_n be_v a_o pour_v forth_o after_o that_o the_o term_n of_o the_o witness_n prophecy_n be_v

the_o three_o year_n and_o a_o half_a betwixt_o the_o slay_a and_o resurrection_n of_o the_o witness_n sure_o this_o time_n be_v too_o scant_o for_o four_o vial_n to_o be_v pour_v forth_o in_o and_o beside_o the_o witness_n who_o as_o we_o have_v show_v former_o do_v pour_v forth_o all_o the_o vial_n do_v lie_v dead_a during_o all_o that_o space_n and_o therefore_o those_o vial_n can_v then_o

the_o counsel_n of_o trent_n can_v be_v the_o time_n of_o the_o slay_v of_o the_o witness_n 3._o if_o the_o slay_v and_o rise_v again_o of_o the_o witness_n be_v then_o whence_o be_v it_o that_o since_o that_o time_n these_o witness_n have_v be_v so_o grievous_o persecute_v how_o be_v it_o that_o since_o that_o time_n so_o many_o have_v continue_v to_o prophesy_v in_o sackcloth_n yea_o so_o

in_o sackcloth_n 4._o if_o it_o can_v be_v clear_v that_o the_o one_o thousand_o two_o hundred_o and_o threescore_o year_n the_o term_n of_o the_o witness_n prophesy_v can_v begin_v so_o high_a as_o

prophecy_n do_v begin_v that_o which_o every_o one_o so_o greedy_o inquire_v after_o for_o this_o purpose_n i_o must_v remember_v you_o of_o what_o i_o former_o hint_v namely_o that_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gentile_n tread_v down_o the_o holy_a city_n the_o time_n of_o the_o beast_n his_o reign_v forty_o two_o month_n the_o time_n of_o the_o woman_n in_o the_o wilderness_n time_n time_n and_o
