be_v the_o remainder_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o choose_a witness_n of_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n that_o be_v to_o appear_v in_o these_o last_o day_n to_o bear_v record_n unto_o that_o glorious_a

shall_v be_v loose_v out_o of_o his_o prison_n for_o a_o little_a season_n when_o the_o thousand_o year_n be_v expire_v to_o deceive_v the_o people_n which_o be_v in_o the_o four_o quarter_n of_o the_o earth_n even_o gog_n and_o magog_n to_o gather_v they_o together_o to_o battle_n who_o number_n be_v as_o the_o sand_n of_o the_o sea_n and_o they_o go_v up_o in_o the_o plain_a of_o the_o

may_v remember_v that_o from_o a_o unerring_a spirit_n that_o send_v i_o to_o declare_v divine_a secret_n that_o i_o have_v already_o demonstrate_v unto_o you_o what_o that_o satan_n be_v and_o that_o

understand_v the_o truth_n in_o relation_n to_o the_o dead_a man_n aforesaid_a 33_o moreover_o you_o that_o have_v be_v well_o acquaint_v with_o spiritual_a condition_n can_v but_o know_v that_o no_o man_n in_o the_o world_n be_v in_o such_o a_o deep_a prison_n of_o rage_a darkness_n as_o those_o man_n that_o tyrannize_v over_o the_o conscience_n of_o innocent_a soul_n which_o can_v bow_v down_o to_o their_o imaginary_a divine_a ordinance_n 34_o furthermote_v you_o may_v also_o know_v that_o when_o the_o magistrate_n and_o his_o pretend_a prophet_n be_v prevent_v from_o persecute_v man_n person_n in_o reference_n to_o their_o conscience_n towards_o god_n then_o and_o not_o till_o then_o be_v satan_n loose_v out_o of_o his_o prison_n 35_o this_o be_v that_o lose_n of_o satan_n for_o a_o little_a season_n out_o of_o his_o unspeakable_a prison_n in_o the_o temporal_a power_n when_o the_o innocent_a professor_n of_o christ_n have_v freedom_n of_o conscience_n in_o reference_n to_o their_o faith_n in_o the_o lord_n of_o glory_n through_o which_o the_o christian_n be_v multiply_v again_o in_o the_o earth_n 36_o again_o you_o may_v know_v that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o very_a little_a season_n since_o christ_n be_v glorify_v that_o the_o saint_n possess_v any_o such_o spiritual_a freedom_n in_o any_o kingdom_n under_o heaven_n 37_o therefore_o the_o persecute_v spirit_n of_o satanical_a prelate_n in_o the_o civil_a power_n have_v have_v but_o a_o very_a little_a season_n of_o rest_v from_o shed_v the_o blood_n of_o god_n innocent_a people_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n 38_o moreover_o though_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n be_v almost_o extinguish_v from_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n in_o the_o thousand_o year_n spiritual_a reign_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o rage_a of_o the_o serpent_n as_o aforesaid_a yet_o you_o may_v know_v in_o that_o season_n of_o liberty_n of_o christian_a conscience_n that_o the_o saint_n be_v mighty_o increase_v again_o in_o the_o world_n 39_o furthermore_o you_o may_v also_o know_v that_o those_o saint_n be_v the_o dead_a man_n that_o live_v not_o again_o until_o these_o last_o time_n of_o the_o invisible_a teach_n of_o

a_o signification_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n and_o form_n of_o a_o something_o that_o be_v infinite_a 10_o it_o be_v as_o clear_a as_o the_o pure_a light_n itself_o unto_o you_o that_o be_v

one_o may_v also_o know_v that_o the_o divine_a majesty_n be_v call_v in_o scripture_n record_v by_o three_o divine_a title_n that_o as_o beforesaid_a that_o the_o most_o learned_a prudent_a man_n in_o this_o world_n may_v never_o attain_v to_o a_o right_a understanding_n of_o the_o very_a true_a god_n and_o the_o spiritual_a mystery_n of_o his_o everlasting_a kingdom_n by_o all_o their_o rational_a study_n in_o the_o scripture_n record_n or_o any_o other_o way_n and_o that_o be_v the_o very_a cause_n that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n say_v unto_o his_o own_o spiritual_a power_n

14_o and_o that_o the_o word_n son_n have_v relation_n unto_o the_o glorious_a body_n of_o the_o everliving_a emanuel_n which_o be_v visible_o see_v by_o elect_a angel_n moses_n and_o elias_n 15_o and_o that_o word_n holy_a ghost_n have_v reference_n unto_o a_o divine_a word_n of_o light_n life_n or_o power_n proceed_v from_o the_o invisible_a father_n through_o the_o glorious_a mouth_n of_o

which_o be_v true_o enlighten_v from_o above_o may_v clear_o see_v what_o that_o threefold_a heavenly_a record_n signify_v of_o that_o only_a distinct_a personal_a majesty_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n god_n alone_o bless_v for_o ever_o and_o ever_o amen_n 17_o it_o be_v also_o as_o clear_a to_o you_o that_o be_v spiritual_a as_o the_o light_n itself_o that_o the_o holy_a one_o of_o

deceiver_n of_o the_o whole_a christian_a world_n so_o call_v which_o be_v in_o bondage_n to_o their_o confuse_a god_n and_o invent_v formality_n 19_o you_o know_v that_o in_o the_o conclusion_n of_o many_o several_a thing_n the_o scripture_n run_v in_o such_o a_o line_n as_o this_o to_o the_o only_a wise_a god_n or_o unto_o god_n only_o wise_a or_o though_o there_o be_v that_o be_v call_v many_o
