of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n now_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v that_o john_n do_v mean_v exact_o such_o a_o number_n and_o no_o more_o that_o be_v seal_v but_o if_o the_o spirit_n of_o

2._o of_o seven_o angel_n of_o the_o church_n of_o asia_n and_o of_o the_o seven_o church_n themselves_o also_o he_o speak_v of_o a_o lamb_n with_o seven_o horn_n and_o seven_o eye_n and_o a_o beast_n with_o seven_o head_n and_o now_o of_o seven_o angel_n and_o seven_o vial_n and_o seven_o plague_n so_o that_o this_o book_n of_o the_o revelation_n do_v speak_v much_o upon_o seven_o which_o sometime_o they_o seven_o speak_v of_o be_v but_o one_o as_o i_o have_v show_v before_o yet_o they_o may_v be_v call_v seven_o in_o relation_n to_o those_o seven_o several_a operation_n or_o work_n they_o do_v likewise_o i_o will_v have_v the_o reader_n mind_n that_o these_o seven_o vial_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n that_o be_v to_o be_v pour_v out_o by_o these_o seven_o angel_n they_o have_v relation_n unto_o those_o plague_n of_o egypt_n that_o be_v pour_v out_o by_o moses_n the_o angel_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o law_n which_o nation_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v call_v the_o temple_n of_o god_n for_o god_n have_v establish_v his_o worship_n of_o the_o law_n in_o and_o upon_o they_o and_o the_o voice_n of_o god_n to_o moses_n the_o angel_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o law_n command_v he_o to_o pour_v out_o the_o vial_n of_o his_o wrath_n upon_o egypt_n which_o be_v do_v according_o also_o we_o read_v in_o scripture_n of_o several_a of_o the_o holy_a angel_n that_o pour_v out_o vial_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o moses_n the_o angel_n of_o the_o law_n as_o those_o two_o angel_n that_o come_v to_o lot_n pour_v out_o the_o vial_n of_o god_n wrath_n upon_o sodom_n and_o burn_v it_o to_o ash_n likewise_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o lord_n destroy_v threescore_o thousand_o people_n of_o the_o plague_n for_o david_n sin_n in_o number_v the_o people_n likewise_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o lord_n slay_v fourscore_o thousand_o man_n in_o one_o night_n of_o the_o king_n of_o assyria_n host_n according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n with_o many_o other_o example_n in_o scripture_n that_o angel_n do_v pour_v out_o the_o vial_n of_o god_n wrath_n upon_o the_o earth_n in_o former_a time_n but_o these_o seven_o angel_n and_o the_o seven_o plague_n that_o be_v to_o be_v pour_v out_o upon_o the_o earth_n i_o say_v the_o meaning_n of_o john_n be_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v pour_v out_o upon_o those_o wicked_a beast_n and_o false_a preacher_n or_o false_a prophet_n who_o setup_a a_o false_a worship_n and_o all_o false_a worshipper_n ever_o since_o that_o day_n that_o christ_n enter_v into_o the_o ministry_n or_o since_o the_o time_n that_o the_o apostle_n receive_v their_o commission_n as_o in_o act_n 2._o my_o meaning_n be_v this_o that_o ever_o since_o the_o apostle_n have_v those_o cleave_a tongue_n sit_v upon_o they_o as_o of_o fire_n for_o than_o begin_v people_n to_o worship_n christ_n according_a to_o the_o apostle_n direction_n who_o have_v their_o commission_n from_o christ_n now_o what_o worship_n have_v be_v set_v up_o since_o by_o king_n or_o head-magistrate_n who_o have_v no_o commission_n from_o god_n they_o be_v call_v by_o the_o spirit_n evil_a beast_n false_a prophet_n false_a preacher_n and_o false_a worship_n and_o those_o seven_o angel_n pour_v out_o their_o seven_o plague_n upon_o those_o superstition_n and_o idolatrous_a people_n who_o have_v drink_v of_o the_o wine_n of_o the_o fornication_n of_o idolatry_n in_o worship_v false_a god_n or_o idol_n ever_o since_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v set_v up_o by_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n i_o declare_v that_o these_o seven_o last_o plague_n be_v to_o be_v pour_v out_o upon_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n he_o be_v the_o angel_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n of_o faith_n and_o christ_n dwell_v in_o their_o heart_n by_o faith_n so_o that_o the_o true_a believer_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v call_v by_o the_o spirit_n the_o temple_n of_o god_n and_o this_o great_a voice_n which_o john_n hear_v out_o of_o the_o temple_n be_v no_o other_o but_o the_o voice_n of_o christ_n who_o give_v charge_n unto_o his_o angel_n to_o pour_v out_o the_o seven_o vial_n of_o his_o wrath_n which_o be_v seven_o plague_n upon_o the_o earth_n that_o be_v upon_o wicked_a idolatrous_a people_n who_o worship_n idol_n image_n and_o false_a god_n since_o the_o apostle_n commission_n even_o such_o like_a plague_n as_o moses_n the_o angel_n of_o the_o law_n and_o other_o angel_n do_v pour_v out_o upon_o egypt_n and_o upon_o other_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a man_n as_o aforesaid_a let_v the_o reader_n observe_v and_o he_o may_v see_v that_o these_o last_o plague_n that_o be_v pour_v out_o upon_o the_o beast_n his_o image_n and_o those_o that_o receive_v the_o mark_n and_o the_o number_n of_o his_o name_n that_o be_v upon_o all_o idolatrous_a people_n they_o be_v much_o like_a unto_o those_o plague_n of_o egypt_n as_o aforesaid_a as_o you_o may_v perceive_v in_o the_o seven_o vial_n pour_v out_o those_o seven_o plague_n in_o the_o second_o verse_n the_o first_o go_v and_o pour_v out_o his_o vial_n upon_o the_o earth_n and_o there_o fall_v a_o noisome_a and_o grievous_a sore_n upon_o the_o man_n which_o have_v the_o mark_n of_o the_o beast_n and_o upon_o they_o which_o worship_v his_o image_n this_o plague_n the_o first_o angel_n pour_v out_o it_o be_v upon_o those_o people_n that_o receive_v the_o mark_n of_o the_o beast_n and_o those_o which_o do_v worship_v his_o image_n even_o the_o same_o plague_n be_v pour_v out_o upon_o the_o servant_n and_o inhabitant_n of_o egypt_n for_o their_o wicked_a oppression_n of_o israel_n they_o have_v grievous_a sore_n upon_o they_o as_o you_o may_v see_v exodus_fw-la 9.10_o and_o 11_o verse_n the_o sore_n be_v so_o grievous_a upon_o the_o egyptian_n and_o upon_o the_o magician_n that_o they_o can_v not_o stand_v before_o moses_n for_o the_o boil_v be_v upon_o the_o magician_n both_o upon_o man_n and_o beast_n so_o in_o like_a manner_n be_v the_o plague_n pour_v out_o upon_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n verse_n the_o three_o and_o the_o second_o angel_n pour_v out_o his_o vial_n upon_o the_o sea_n and_o it_o become_v as_o the_o blood_n of_o a_o dead_a man_n and_o every_o live_a soul_n die_v in_o the_o sea_n this_o second_o angel_n pour_v out_o his_o vial_n and_o the_o plague_n this_o angel_n pour_v out_o it_o be_v much_o like_a to_o the_o plague_n moses_n pour_v out_o upon_o egypt_n as_o you_o may_v see_v exodus_fw-la the_o 7._o and_o the_o 17._o how_o the_o rod_n in_o moses_n hand_n smite_v upon_o the_o water_n that_o be_v in_o the_o river_n and_o they_o become_v blood_n or_o be_v turn_v into_o blood_n and_o in_o the_o 18._o verse_n and_o the_o fish_n that_o be_v in_o the_o river_n shall_v die_v and_o the_o river_n shall_v stink_v and_o the_o egyptian_n shall_v loathe_v to_o drink_v of_o the_o water_n of_o the_o river_n so_o in_o like_a manner_n will_v god_n pour_v out_o this_o vial_n of_o wrath_n upon_o the_o sea_n that_o be_v upon_o all_o the_o river_n and_o fountain_n of_o water_n which_o be_v for_o the_o comfort_n satisfaction_n and_o quench_v the_o thirst_n of_o man_n and_o all_o other_o creature_n for_o the_o vial_n be_v pour_v out_o upon_o the_o sea_n the_o sea_n do_v employ_v all_o manner_n of_o water_n whatsoever_o and_o as_o this_o plague_n be_v pour_v out_o upon_o egypt_n at_o the_o first_o when_o moses_n have_v his_o commission_n from_o god_n to_o gather_v israel_n out_o of_o egypt_n so_o in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n when_o christ_n shall_v gather_v his_o elect_a together_o that_o be_v the_o wheat_n from_o the_o tare_n this_o vial_n of_o his_o wrath_n shall_v be_v pour_v out_o upon_o the_o sea_n as_o real_o as_o it_o be_v pour_v out_o upon_o egypt_n by_o moses_n as_o aforesaid_a and_o every_o creature_n in_o the_o sea_n both_o man_n and_o beast_n fish_n and_o fowl_n shall_v die_v even_o as_o they_o do_v in_o egypt_n chap._n xlvii_o and_o verse_n the_o four_o the_o three_o angel_n pour_v out_o his_o vial_n upon_o the_o river_n and_o fountain_n of_o water_n and_o they_o become_v blood_n the_o meaning_n be_v this_o that_o as_o the_o egyptian_n river_n and_o fountain_n of_o water_n be_v turn_v to_o blood_n by_o moses_n so_o that_o the_o egyptian_n can_v not_o drink_v of_o the_o water_n of_o the_o river_n for_o they_o do_v loath_a to_o drink_v of_o they_o so_o likewise_o this_o vial_n the_o three_o angel_n pour_v out_o it_o be_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o fountain_n and_o river_n of_o water_n that_o be_v in_o every_o man_n for_o every_o man_n have_v motion_n of_o peace_n and_o refresh_v of_o mind_n that_o do_v arise_v in_o his_o heart_n from_o the_o seed_n of_o
