every_o one_o in_o his_o own_o place_n and_o watch_v by_o course_n 9_o but_o let_v the_o head_n be_v preserve_v for_o the_o last_o 10_o and_o i_o behold_v and_o lo_o the_o voice_n go_v not_o out_o of_o her_o head_n but_o from_o the_o midst_n of_o her_o body_n 11_o and_o i_o number_v she_o contrary_a feather_n and_o behold_v there_o be_v eight_o of_o they_o 12_o and_o i_o look_v and_o behold_v on_o the_o right_a side_n there_o arise_v one_o feather_n and_o reign_v over_o all_o the_o earth_n 13_o and_o so_o it_o be_v that_o when_o it_o reign_v the_o end_n of_o it_o come_v and_o the_o place_n thereof_o appear_v no_o more_o so_o the_o next_o follow_v stand_v up_o and_o reign_v and_o have_v a_o great_a time_n 14_o and_o it_o happen_v that_o when_o it_o reign_v the_o end_n of_o it_o come_v also_o like_v as_o the_o first_o so_o that_o it_o appear_v no_o more_o 15_o then_o come_v there_o a_o ucice_v unto_o it_o and_o say_v 16_o hear_v thou_o that_o have_v bear_v rule_n over_o the_o

after_o this_o i_o look_v and_o behold_v the_o 12._o feather_n appear_v no_o more_o nor_o the_o two_o little_a feather_n 23_o and_o there_o be_v no_o more_o upon_o the_o eagle_n body_n but_o three_o

upon_o the_o right_a side_n for_o the_o four_o continue_v in_o their_o place_n 25_o and_o i_o behold_v and_o lo_o the_o feather_n that_o be_v under_o the_o wing_n think_v to_o set_v up_o themselves_o and_o to_o have_v the_o rule_n 26_o and_o i_o behold_v and_o lo_o there_o be_v one_o set_v up_o and_o short_o it_o appear_v no_o more_o 27_o and_o the_o second_o be_v soon_o away_o then_o the_o

be_v join_v with_o it_o 31_o and_o behold_v the_o head_n be_v turn_v with_o they_o that_o be_v with_o it_o and_o do_v eat_v up_o the_o two_o feather_n under_o the_o wing_n that_o will_v have_v reign_v 32_o but_o this_o head_n put_v the_o whole_a earth_n in_o fear_n and_o bare_a rule_n in_o it_o over_o all_o those_o that_o dwell_v upon_o the_o earth_n with_o much_o oppression_n and_o it_o have_v the_o governance_n of_o the_o world_n more_o than_o all_o the_o wing_n that_o have_v be_v 33_o and_o after_o this_o i_o behold_v and_o lo_o the_o head_n that_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n sudden_o appear_v no_o more_o like_a as_o the_o wing_n 34_o but_o there_o remain_v the_o two_o head_n which_o also_o in_o like_a sort_n rule_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o over_o those_o that_o dwell_v therein_o 35_o and_o i_o behold_v and_o lo_o the_o head_n upon_o the_o right_a side_n devour_v it_o that_o be_v upon_o the_o left_a side_n 36_o then_o i_o hear_v a_o voice_n which_o say_v unto_o i_o look_v before_o thou_o and_o consider_v the_o thing_n that_o thou_o see_v 37_o and_o i_o behold_v and_o lo_o as_o it_o be_v a_o roar_a lion_n chase_v out_o of_o the_o wood_n and_o i_o see_v that_o he_o send_v out_o a_o man_n voice_n unto_o the_o eagle_n and_o say_v 38_o hear_v thou_o i_o will_v talk_v with_o thou_o and_o the_o high_a shall_v say_v unto_o thou_o 39_o art_n not_o thou_o it_o that_o
