A93209	A short discourse (recommended to all our English divines) concerning the death of the witnesses in general, and the two witnesses in particular plainly shewing, first, the chief and true reason of their death. Secondly, the manner how they are to be slain. Thirdly, the place where. Fourthly, the time when. Fifthly, by whom they are to be slain. Sixthly, the true reason why they are overcome, and why in particular by a war. Seventhly, who they are, and that they have already been slain. The conclusion.		1699 (1699)	Wing S3584B; ESTC R230290	9,279	14

these_o two_o witness_n be_v the_o answer_n be_v he_o sunt_fw-la duae_fw-la illae_fw-la oleae_fw-la meaning_n zerubbabel_n and_o joshua_n now_o none_o can_v make_v any_o thing_n of_o these_o two_o

they_o make_v no_o distinction_n betwixt_o the_o body_n and_o head_n it_o be_v certain_a the_o common_a mass_n as_o live_v they_o have_v no_o power_n so_o their_o death_n can_v represent_v the_o

which_o i_o shall_v not_o be_v ashamed_a to_o disow_v at_o present_a the_o truth_n shine_v so_o full_a in_o my_o face_n that_o i_o can_v otherwise_o think_v and_o do_v hope_v so_o will_v other_o that_o the_o death_n of_o the_o aforementioned_a person_n be_v the_o true_a death_n of_o the_o two_o last_o witness_n which_o be_v to_o die_v to_o finish_v the_o old_a dispensation_n those_o who_o

next_o necessary_a inference_n will_v be_v that_o we_o be_v on_o the_o premise_n of_o the_o millennium_n and_o that_o the_o downfall_n of_o rome_n be_v just_a at_o the_o door_n for_o this_o black_a

endeavour_v to_o bring_v the_o thing_n yet_o close_o and_o make_v it_o yet_o a_o little_a more_o plain_a by_o sum_v up_o the_o whole_a conclusion_n there_o be_v a_o true_a and_o a_o false_a church_n
