A33252	Truth with time, or, Certain reasons proving that none of the seven last plagues or vials are yet poured out neither will the time of their pouring out begin till after the rising of the two witnesses and the fourty months of the Beast's reign be expired : likewise an answer to the said reasons with a reply further the author hath here set down (in a brief exposition) his opinion of the first vial / by John Canne.

much_o in_o word_n as_o matter_n if_o well_o consider_v 4._o in_o chap._n 16.4_o the_o angel_n pour_v out_o his_o vial_n upon_o the_o water_n and_o they_o become_v blood_n but_o chap._n 11._o the_o witness_n have_v power_n over_o the_o water_n to_o turn_v they_o into_o blood_n it_o be_v not_o say_v they_o smite_v the_o water_n or_o that_o the_o water_n be_v turn_v into_o blood_n what_o may_v be_v gather_v be_v one_o thing_n but_o the_o phrase_n be_v not_o alike_o 5._o if_o the_o place_n be_v so_o alike_o in_o phrase_n why_o be_v they_o make_v so_o unlike_a in_o exposition_n the_o first_o vial_n be_v apply_v to_o waldo_n wickliff_n luther_n as_o smite_v the_o beast_n with_o their_o mouth_n and_o pen_n the_o second_o and_o three_o to_o soldier_n and_o army_n and_o so_o kill_a man_n with_o their_o sword_n and_o gun_n answ_n 3._o because_o the_o egyptian_a plague_n allude_v to_o be_v begin_v by_o the_o two_o witness_n moses_n &_o aaron_n before_o the_o end_n of_o the_o captivity_n or_o sojourn_v in_o egypt_n and_o it_o be_v very_o evident_a this_o have_v such_o a_o allusion_n rev._n 11.8_o because_o the_o holy_a ghost_n call_v this_o forty_o and_o two_o month_n egypt_n also_o repl._n if_o the_o egyptian_a plague_n by_o moses_n and_o aaron_n the_o two_o witness_n be_v all_o pour_v out_o before_o the_o end_n of_o the_o captivity_n then_o follow_v the_o allusion_n all_o the_o vial_n shall_v be_v pour_v out_o whilst_o the_o witness_n be_v in_o sackcloth_n and_o to_o say_v truth_n to_o take_v it_o otherwise_o it_o destroy_v the_o life_n and_o light_n of_o the_o argument_n for_o if_o the_o vial_n begin_v before_o the_o rise_n of_o the_o witness_n then_o must_v they_o be_v all_o pour_v out_o before_o the_o end_n of_o the_o forty_o and_o two_o month_n as_o the_o ten_o plague_n by_o the_o two_o witness_n moses_n and_o aaron_n be_v before_o the_o end_n of_o their_o captivity_n or_o sojourn_v in_o egypt_n thus_o you_o see_v by_o divide_v the_o vial_n as_o some_o to_o go_v before_o the_o rise_n and_o some_o after_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o allusion_n for_o if_o some_o be_v than_o be_v all_o but_o take_v it_o that_o none_o be_v so_o there_o be_v in_o my_o opinion_n both_o reason_n and_o truth_n as_o to_o the_o allusion_n viz._n as_o moses_n and_o aaron_n the_o two_o rise_v witness_n not_o in_o sackcloth_n near_o or_o about_o the_o end_n of_o the_o four_o hundred_o and_o thirty_o year_n plague_v the_o egyptian_n so_o the_o forty_o and_o two_o month_n of_o the_o beast_n tyranny_n be_v go_v out_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n from_o god_n shall_v enter_v into_o his_o witness_n for_o the_o pour_v out_o of_o the_o last_o plague_n upon_o the_o beast_n dominion_n answ_n 4._o for_o that_o the_o remnant_n i_o humble_o conceive_v be_v to_o strike_v in_o and_o not_o to_o begin_v to_o succeed_v and_o follow_v not_o to_o direct_v and_o lead_v to_o execute_v not_o to_o prepare_v but_o your_o opinion_n make_v 144000_o or_o the_o remnant_n to_o begin_v and_o the_o two_o witness_n to_o fall_v in_o with_o they_o which_o i_o see_v not_o repl._n either_o you_o or_o i_o be_v here_o in_o some_o mistake_n both_o to_o the_o remnant_n and_o witness_n for_o 1._o i_o do_v not_o take_v the_o remnant_n as_o you_o do_v to_o be_v the_o one_o hundred_o forty_o and_o four_o thousand_o but_o as_o i_o say_v before_o part_n of_o the_o woman_n seed_n which_o never_o flee_v into_o the_o wilderness_n against_o who_o the_o dragon_n make_v war_n rev._n 12.17_o and_o this_o before_o the_o rise_n of_o the_o witness_n and_o so_o in_o likelihood_n refer_v to_o the_o war_n in_o france_n holland_n germany_n britain_n etc._n etc._n 2._o i_o take_v the_o one_o hundred_o forty_o and_o four_o thousand_o and_o the_o rise_v witness_n to_o be_v all_o one_o for_o as_o you_o say_v well_o it_o be_v a_o testimony_n or_o witness_n not_o person_n that_o be_v slay_v the_o which_o testimony_n or_o truth_n that_o be_v the_o glorious_a cause_n and_o interest_n of_o christ_n rise_v and_o live_v again_o by_o a_o spirit_n of_o life_n from_o god_n enter_v into_o the_o one_o hundred_o forty_o and_o four_o thousand_o answ_n 5._o for_o that_o all_o the_o hitherto-plague_n upon_o the_o beast_n dominion_n do_v signify_v nothing_o if_o they_o be_v not_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o vial_n repl._n 1_o the_o conclusion_n will_v not_o follow_v for_o whilst_o the_o israelite_n be_v in_o egypt_n no_o doubt_n the_o lord_n plague_v the_o egyptian_n at_o several_a time_n yet_o they_o be_v none_o of_o the_o ten_o last_o plague_n to_o come_v near_o when_o abbey_n and_o monastery_n be_v put_v down_o in_o hen._n 8._o his_o reign_n this_o be_v a_o plague_n upon_o the_o beast_n dominion_n and_o signify_v something_o so_o have_v he_o be_v plague_v in_o france_n scotland_n bohemia_n the_o netherlands_o yet_o reckon_v no_o vial_n beside_o what_o do_v the_o goth_n hun_n vandal_n etc._n etc._n but_o pour_v out_o plague_n upon_o the_o beast_n dominion_n 2._o that_o they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o last_o plague_n it_o clear_o show_v that_o there_o be_v plague_n upon_o the_o beast_n dominion_n before_o for_o the_o distinction_n between_o former_a and_o late_a must_v be_v understand_v of_o the_o beast_n dominion_n as_o the_o subject_n that_o be_v several_a plague_n shall_v be_v pour_v upon_o it_o before_o the_o seven_o last_o plague_n or_o vial_n begin_v answ_n 6._o and_o last_o the_o subject_n of_o the_o vial_n rev._n 16.2_o 3_o 4_o 5_o etc._n etc._n of_o the_o first_o the_o second_o and_o the_o three_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o scripture_n open_v they_o have_v be_v under_o the_o very_a same_o wrath_n mention_v in_o the_o first_o second_o and_o three_o vial_n so_o that_o i_o be_o much_o persuade_v that_o they_o be_v begin_v by_o a_o scripture-clearness_n repl._n that_o which_o first_o give_v i_o occasion_n to_o question_v the_o beginning_n of_o the_o vial_n it_o be_v that_o i_o can_v not_o see_v neither_o the_o subject_n nor_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o vial_n as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n open_v they_o rev._n 16._o under_o the_o same_o wrath_n as_o they_o be_v interpret_v neither_o the_o first_o second_o nor_o third_n there_o be_v nothing_o yet_o do_v in_o my_o opinion_n that_o carry_v the_o character_n of_o vial-work_n upon_o it_o 1._o that_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v take_v for_o the_o grosser_n part_n of_o popery_n where_o do_v we_o find_v in_o scripture_n a_o ground_n to_o raise_v such_o a_o exposition_n 2._o that_o the_o subject_a earth_n shall_v be_v universal_a and_o yet_o in_o many_o place_n this_o gross_a earth_n never_o move_v but_o to_o this_o day_n remain_v as_o much_o and_o as_o bad_a as_o ever_o 3._o that_o waldo_n wickliff_n armachan_n etc._n etc._n shall_v be_v vial-angel_n a_o thing_n no_o way_n suitable_a to_o the_o description_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n rev._n 15._o so_o again_o for_o the_o second_o and_o three_o vial_n i_o be_o not_o satisfy_v as_o they_o be_v apply_v first_o why_o the_o second_o to_o the_o swedish_n war_n in_o germany_n the_o three_o to_o we_o in_o britain_n or_o 2._o as_o other_o why_o the_o second_o to_o the_o romish_a discipline_n or_o hierarchy_n in_o england_n anno_fw-la dom._n 1641._o the_o three_o to_o fall_v upon_o england_n the_o low-countries_n and_o france_n i_o do_v not_o see_v scripture-clearness_n for_o these_o thing_n nor_o 3_o do_v i_o understand_v what_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o the_o earth_n and_o sea_n as_o they_o be_v expound_v for_o i_o think_v the_o romish_a hierarchy_n viz._n pope_n cardinal_n archbishop_n bishop_n monk_n friar_n etc._n etc._n with_o all_o that_o rabble_n root_n and_o branch_n as_o gross_a earthly_a superstition_n as_o their_o mass_n their_o cross_n purgatory_n penance_n pilgrimage_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o to_o make_v a_o distinction_n between_o romish_a doctrine_n and_o romish_a discipline_n as_o two_o distinct_a subject_n i_o be_o not_o of_o that_o opinion_n but_o as_o they_o rise_v together_o so_o they_o shall_v fall_v together_o inseparable_o under_o one_o and_o the_o same_o vial._n i_o confess_v in_o thing_n to_o come_v as_o they_o be_v secret_a so_o we_o can_v well_o judge_v whether_o man_n hit_v or_o miss_v in_o their_o opinion_n till_o they_o come_v to_o pass_v but_o in_o thing_n that_o be_v past_a and_o so_o visible_a here_o we_o can_v say_v a_o little_a more_o whether_o man_n speak_v pertinent_o and_o to_o purpose_n i_o think_v to_o have_v forbear_v the_o query_n but_o not_o know_v how_o it_o may_v be_v take_v i_o have_v set_v down_o the_o answer_n to_o
