in_o this_o place_n for_o power_n and_o headship_n but_o it_o be_v not_o absolute_o necessary_a that_o we_o shall_v build_v upon_o such_o a_o sense_n i_o answer_v the_o name_n of_o the_o beast_n must_v necessary_o be_v construe_v and_o take_v for_o his_o power_n and_o headship_n because_o as_o a_o potentate_n he_o do_v confront_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n the_o true_a head_n of_o the_o

rather_o than_o at_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n or_o at_o the_o name_n of_o god_n the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n further_o he_o do_v insist_v upon_o the_o greatness_n of_o their_o

the_o calculation_n of_o the_o numeral_a letter_n now_o what_o certainty_n be_v in_o all_o this_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o we_o take_v the_o name_n of_o the_o beast_n for_o his_o universal_a power_n this_o do_v agree_v with_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o text_n with_o the_o analogy_n of_o the_o prophecy_n and_o there_o can_v be_v no_o good_a exception_n to_o the_o contrary_n now_o to_o

be_v ambiguor_n yet_o we_o may_v find_v out_o from_o the_o scope_n of_o the_o text_n that_o which_o will_v determine_v the_o ambiguity_n if_o any_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o name_n of_o the_o beast_n may_v be_v take_v for_o any_o thing_n else_o as_o well_o as_o for_o his_o sovereign_a power_n i_o yield_v that_o it_o may_v be_v so_o but_o if_o we_o look_v to_o analogy_n in_o the_o scripture_n it_o
