then_o suffer_v and_o against_o such_o as_o may_v still_o befall_v they_o he_o tell_v they_o of_o sign_n which_o shall_v precede_v the_o day_n of_o judgement_n as_o first_o a_o general_a apostasy_n that_o be_v the_o abandon_v of_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n second_o the_o appearance_n of_o antichrist_n who_o he_o call_v the_o man_n of_o sin_n because_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o great_a of_o all_o sinner_n and_o shall_v draw_v almost_o all_o man_n to_o sin_n and_o to_o the_o great_a sin_n which_o can_v be_v commit_v if_o heretic_n who_o say_v that_o the_o pope_n be_v antichrist_n will_v serious_o consider_v the_o portraiture_n of_o he_o as_o the_o apostle_n set_v he_o forth_o in_o this_o epistle_n they_o will_v find_v it_o very_o little_a coherent_a with_o he_o and_o will_v be_v ashamed_a to_o believe_v so_o ridiculous_a a_o dream_n which_o the_o wise_a and_o most_o learned_a among_o they_o with_o reason_n do_v make_v but_o a_o jest_n thus_o do_v saint_n paul_n labour_n for_o the_o glory_n of_o jesus_n christ_n both_o with_o his_o tongue_n and_o pen_n at_o the_o same_o time_n and_o do_v not_o let_v slip_n one_o minute_n of_o time_n while_o he_o be_v at_o corinth_n which_o he_o employ_v not_o in_o the_o function_n of_o his_o ministry_n he_o depart_v thence_o have_v stay_v there_o eighteen_o month_n with_o aquila_n and_o priscilla_n his_o host_n but_o before_o he_o leave_v corinth_n he_o shave_v his_o head_n for_o some_o reason_n which_o saint_n luke_n do_v not_o mention_v no_o more_o than_o he_o do_v the_o vow_n which_o he_o make_v to_o let_v his_o hair_n grow_v for_o the_o better_a understanding_n this_o place_n in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n i_o will_v tell_v you_o as_o it_o be_v in_o pass_v by_o that_o in_o the_o ancient_a law_n there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o nazarean_o that_o be_v to_o say_v man_n separated_z and_o consecrate_v to_o god_n the_o one_o of_o they_o be_v perpetual_a and_o the_o other_o but_o for_o a_o certain_a time_n according_a as_o their_o devotion_n invite_v they_o to_o make_v this_o vow_n both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o be_v oblige_v to_o abstain_v from_o wine_n and_o from_o any_o other_o liquor_n that_o may_v cause_v drunkenness_n and_o to_o let_v their_o hair_n grow_v the_o time_n allot_v for_o the_o vow_n of_o these_o latter_a be_v expire_v they_o be_v to_o present_v themselves_o at_o the_o door_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n where_o they_o offer_v the_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v ordain_v for_o it_o they_o be_v shave_v and_o their_o hair_n be_v burn_v in_o the_o fire_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o pacifical_a oblation_n with_o many_o ceremony_n which_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o book_n of_o number_n now_o in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o consecration_n if_o they_o happen_v to_o contract_v any_o pollution_n contrary_a to_o the_o law_n either_o by_o the_o touch_n of_o some_o dead_a body_n or_o that_o by_o change_v any_o die_v sudden_o in_o their_o presence_n they_o be_v bind_v at_o the_o same_o instant_n to_o begin_v to_o shave_v their_o hair_n to_o finish_v it_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o on_o the_o eight_o day_n to_o offer_v the_o sacrifice_n ordain_v for_o their_o purification_n i_o therefore_o easy_o believe_v that_o saint_n paul_n have_v make_v this_o vow_n of_o the_o nazarean_o to_o comply_v in_o some_o occasion_n with_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o jew_n as_o he_o have_v circumcise_v timothy_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v not_o scandalize_v they_o or_o for_o some_o other_o reason_n which_o st._n luke_n do_v not_o mention_n may_v by_o chance_n have_v meet_v some_o dead_a corpse_n or_o touch_v some_o dead_a body_n and_o this_o have_v happen_v in_o the_o company_n of_o some_o jew_n who_o be_v convert_v and_o observe_v the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n he_o shave_v his_o hair_n at_o that_o instant_n remit_v his_o offering_n sacrifice_n till_o he_o come_v to_o jerusalem_n as_o in_o effect_n he_o do_v by_o the_o counsel_n of_o saint_n james_n and_o the_o priest_n of_o that_o church_n which_o we_o shall_v see_v in_o the_o sequel_n of_o this_o history_n it_o be_v true_a some_o author_n say_v that_o aquila_n make_v this_o vow_n and_o not_o the_o apostle_n but_o saint_n hierome_n and_o saint_n augustine_n bede_n and_o almost_o all_o interpreter_n maintain_v that_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o saint_n paul_n and_o i_o have_v in_o this_o follow_v the_o common_a opinion_n the_o sea_n favour_v saint_n paul_n he_o arrive_v safe_a at_o ephesus_n and_o immediate_o go_v into_o the_o synagogue_n of_o the_o jew_n to_o declare_v the_o
