of_o the_o five_o seal_n to_o be_v only_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o martyr_n apoc._n vi_o 9_o yet_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o those_o which_o be_v seal_v and_o save_v from_o the_o vengeance_n

that_o suffer_v martyrdom_n be_v to_o be_v conceive_v to_o join_v in_o they_o as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o the_o plague_n which_o they_o procure_v begin_v from_o the_o go_v forth_o of_o the_o gospel_n because_o from_o thence_o begin_v the_o suffering_n of_o the_o martyr_n which_o appear_v at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o five_o seal_n as_o also_o the_o praise_n

14._o there_o follow_v nothing_o but_o rejoice_v only_o because_o the_o joy_n of_o the_o saint_n for_o the_o advancement_n of_o christianity_n be_v join_v with_o the_o woe_n that_o come_v upon_o the_o

those_o last_o plague_n to_o wit_n the_o persecution_n which_o god_n punish_v for_o what_o signify_v the_o victory_n of_o michael_n and_o his_o angel_n over_o the_o devil_n and_o he_o and_o the_o take_n of_o the_o child_n up_o to_o god_n throne_n apoc._n xii_o 5_o 7._o but_o god_n decree_n that_o christianity_n shall_v prevail_v wherefore_o the_o flight_n of_o the_o woman_n into_o the_o wilderness_n follow_v in_o time_n the_o fall_n of_o satan_n into_o the_o world_n which_o cause_v it_o apoc._n xii_o 6_o 9_o must_v needs_o begin_v as_o soon_o as_o persecution_n for_o christianity_n begin_v and_o the_o same_o cxliv_o thousand_o which_o be_v seal_v afore_o the_o trumpet_n apoc_n vii_o 3_o appear_v again_o with_o the_o lamb_n after_o six_o of_o they_o apoc._n fourteen_o 1._o as_o

be_v prove_v to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o the_o colossian_n i_o 7._o and_o therefore_o a_o evangelist_n to_o they_o but_o no_o appearance_n of_o any_o commission_n to_o govern_v that_o church_n his_o charge_n to_o the_o colossian_n not_o hinder_v his_o employment_n to_o s._n paul_n from_o the_o philippian_n on_o the_o contrary_a the_o commission_n give_v timothy_n and_o titus_n by_o the_o

hence_o we_o have_v a_o competent_a reason_n why_o the_o name_n of_o bishop_n shall_v be_v common_a to_o bishop_n and_o presbyter_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n though_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v

or_o of_o rhetoric_n that_o a_o angel_n be_v put_v for_o a_o presbyter_n or_o bishop_n be_v a_o metaphor_n very_o reasonable_a because_o of_o the_o correspondence_n between_o they_o but_o a_o angel_n
