of_o this_o shall_v make_v they_o bless_v which_o do_v hear_v it_o and_o keep_v the_o thing_n herein_o contain_v further_o it_o be_v commend_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o time_n wherein_o it_o be_v deliver_v to_o john_n to_o wit_n when_o he_o be_v exile_v for_o the_o gospel_n sake_n into_o the_o i_o will_v of_o pathmos_n which_o argue_v that_o it_o be_v a_o notable_a thing_n see_v it_o be_v to_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o great_a comfort_n to_o he_o in_o such_o a_o distress_n and_o more_o particular_o that_o it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v reveal_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n wherein_o god_n use_v to_o deliver_v more_o excellent_a thing_n concern_v his_o will_n and_o counsel_n then_o at_o other_o time_n and_o as_o the_o sabbath_n give_v commendation_n and_o credit_n and_o authority_n unto_o the_o revelation_n so_o this_o revelation_n also_o give_v authority_n to_o the_o sabbath_n and_o first_o john_n begin_v with_o a_o salutation_n that_o it_o may_v draw_v attention_n and_o be_v the_o more_o accept_v of_o the_o hearer_n in_o the_o salutation_n he_o wish_v grace_n and_o peace_n from_o the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o father_n be_v set_v out_o to_o be_v he_o that_o be_v be_v &_o shall_v be_v that_o be_v everlasting_a the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v set_v down_o next_o by_o the_o name_n of_o seven_o spirit_n as_o have_v relation_n unto_o the_o seven_o church_n make_v as_o it_o be_v a_o conformity_n of_o the_o spirit_n with_o those_o seven_o church_n hereafter_o mention_v wherein_o his_o mystery_n most_o especial_o lay_v the_o cause_n wherefore_o he_o do_v choose_v seven_o church_n and_o no_o other_o number_n it_o be_v for_o the_o number_n of_o perfection_n for_o seven_o be_v a_o perfect_a number_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v as_o seven_o spirit_n to_o pour_v out_o his_o grace_n effectual_o in_o all_o the_o church_n because_o he_o be_v as_o effectual_a in_o all_o as_o in_o one_o for_o his_o strength_n be_v not_o divide_v and_o by_o seven_o church_n he_o also_o understand_v all_o the_o rest_n next_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v set_v down_o the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o reason_n why_o the_o second_o person_n be_v set_v

be_v here_o principal_o to_o speak_v of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n set_v he_o in_o the_o last_o place_n in_o the_o salutation_n he_o wish_v grace_n unto_o the_o church_n with_o the_o fruit_n thereof_o which_o be_v peace_n which_o be_v set_v down_o by_o their_o end_n to_o wit_n that_o god_n may_v be_v glorify_v christ_n be_v here_o describe_v by_o his_o office_n first_o in_o that_o he_o be_v call_v the_o faithful_a witness_n signify_v that_o he_o be_v a_o prophet_n to_o testify_v the_o truth_n to_o his_o people_n second_o he_o be_v describe_v by_o his_o priesthood_n in_o that_o he_o be_v call_v

of_o god_n unto_o the_o people_n and_o he_o look_v to_o see_v the_o voice_n not_o that_o the_o voice_n can_v be_v see_v but_o he_o look_v from_o whence_o it_o shall_v come_v and_o who_o shall_v
