A35274	The resurrection of the witnesses and Englands fall from (the mystical Babylon) Rome clearly demonstrated to be accomplished, whereby great encouragement is administred to all saints, but especially to the saints in England, in the handling of a part of the eleventh chapter of the Revelation / by M.

when_o god_n in_o a_o more_o than_o ordinary_a manner_n move_v their_o spirit_n to_o pray_v for_o they_o thus_o saint_n have_v a_o holy_a boldness_n and_o confidence_n in_o approach_v to_o the_o
