church_n be_v but_o one_o the_o christian_a church_n be_v many_o as_o other_o or_o whether_o any_o other_o may_v be_v the_o reason_n i_o not_o determine_v you_o have_v the_o difference_n but_o that_o in_o the_o main_a they_o agree_v take_v notice_n of_o these_o severall_n for_o the_o purpose_n 1._o as_o there_o you_o have_v a_o candlestick_n signify_v a_o church_n so_o here_o candlestick_n signify_v church_n also_o so_o i_o will_v understand_v they_o in_o no_o wise_a conceive_v the_o two_o witness_n to_o be_v the_o two_o candlestick_n as_o they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o two_o olive_n tree_n before_o and_o therefore_o i_o have_v rather_o read_v as_o they_o do_v these_o be_v the_o two_o olive_n tree_n with_o or_o by_o the_o two_o candlestick_n as_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o the_o

as_o two_o olive_n tree_n there_o show_v two_o rank_n of_o man_n namely_o godly_a magistrate_n and_o minister_n so_o by_o the_o two_o olive_n tree_n here_o we_o understand_v man_n of_o the_o like_a

be_v in_o short_a this_o in_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n describe_v the_o two_o witness_n by_o two_o olive_n tree_n drop_v oil_n into_o the_o candlestick_n a_o type_n former_o use_v to_o signify_v

only_o the_o common_a sort_n of_o people_n such_o as_o those_o poor_a man_n of_o lion_n but_o minister_n yea_o nobles_n yea_o prince_n and_o emperor_n have_v be_v of_o these_o witness_n who_o not_o

you_o have_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n the_o observation_n now_o follow_v 1._o in_o that_o the_o witness_n be_v type_v out_o and_o describe_v by_o person_n of_o quality_n for_o such_o zerubbabel_n and_o jeshua_n be_v how_o likely_a be_v it_o these_o witness_n must_v be_v person_n of_o quality_n as_o they_o be_v and_o if_o they_o be_v magistrate_n and_o minister_n by_o who_o they_o be_v set_v forth_o and_o present_v how_o warrantable_o may_v we_o pronounce_v these_o witness_n be_v magistrate_n and_o minister_n also_o i_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o even_o the_o mean_a testify_v against_o antichrist_n be_v in_o a_o sort_n a_o witness_n but_o to_o be_v a_o witness_n by_o way_n of_o eminence_n to_o be_v such_o by_o office_n as_o i_o may_v say_v and_o so_o authoritative_o to_o bear_v witness_n this_o seem_v restrain_v only_o to_o man_n of_o quality_n and_o when_o the_o event_n answer_v according_o as_o be_v in_o part_n hint_v before_o i_o think_v there_o need_v no_o further_a question_n in_o the_o business_n when_o history_n will_v tell_v we_o beside_o a_o succession_n of_o godly_a person_n in_o the_o ministry_n there_o be_v also_o in_o the_o magistracy_n even_o
