i_o have_v cast_v about_o in_o my_o thought_n to_o see_v how_o a_o mistake_n of_o this_o nature_n can_v in_o a_o author_n of_o such_o ability_n be_v interpret_v more_o favourable_o than_o a_o wilful_a misreckon_n and_o two_o way_n i_o do_v apprehend_v that_o possible_o the_o mistake_n may_v be_v entertain_v unaware_o 1._o peradventure_o the_o author_n may_v have_v read_v in_o some_o history_n book_n the_o year_n 404_o misprint_v for_o 604._o for_o misprint_v of_o one_o figure_n may_v happy_o fall_v out_o in_o some_o copy_n pen_v of_o that_o subject_n though_o i_o have_v not_o yet_o meet_v with_o that_o misprint_v in_o any_o one_o of_o those_o treatise_n or_o in_o any_o of_o those_o edition_n which_o i_o have_v seek_v out_o and_o diligent_o compare_v on_o set_a purpose_n 2._o peradventure_o the_o author_n may_v not_o have_v read_v the_o history_n of_o phocas_n but_o only_o receive_v it_o upon_o hear-say_n and_o so_o she_o may_v either_o have_v mistake_v the_o relator_n or_o swallow_v down_o the_o relator_n mistake_v and_o this_o late_a conjecture_n i_o look_v upon_o as_o the_o most_o probable_a in_o that_o it_o suit_v bâst_v with_o she_o own_o word_n for_o she_o do_v not_o say_v as_o historian_n write_v but_o as_o say_v historian_n thus_o have_v i_o give_v my_o reader_n the_o best_a light_n i_o can_v to_o furnish_v his_o charity_n with_o a_o favourable_a construction_n of_o the_o foresay_a mistake_n which_o may_v in_o part_n excuse_v the_o author_n credulity_n but_o will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o justify_v her_o confidence_n nor_o her_o cause_n for_o the_o correct_v of_o this_o mistake_n if_o the_o rest_n of_o her_o account_n hold_v good_a will_v make_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o witness_n to_o fall_v out_o 200._o year_n late_a than_o she_o count_v for_o namely_o in_o the_o year_n 1845._o and_o this_o shall_v suffice_v for_o my_o first_o and_o principal_a exception_n 2._o exception_n the_o author_n pag._n 82._o deduce_v from_o the_o astronomical_a year_n five_o day_n in_o a_o year_n and_o one_o day_n every_o four_o year_n for_o the_o space_n of_o 1260._o year_n do_v abate_v for_o it_o 18_o year_n and_o almost_o in_o half_a which_o if_o it_o be_v mean_a of_o astronomical_a year_n which_o be_v the_o year_n that_o she_o do_v subtract_v do_v not_o amount_v to_o so_o much_o for_o five_o time_n 1260._o day_n and_o 315._o day_n put_v together_o make_v but_o 6615_o which_o be_v not_o 18._o astronomical_a year_n and_o a_o quarter_n no_o nor_o half_o a_o quarter_n for_o it_o be_v but_o â0_n day_n over_o the_o 18._o year_n 3._o exception_n the_o author_n pag._n 82._o from_o the_o year_n which_o in_o ordinary_a account_n be_v 1664_o deduce_v 18._o year_n and_o almost_o a_o half_a for_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o astronomical_a account_n and_o the_o account_n which_o she_o follow_v tell_v we_o that_o then_o the_o account_n will_v fall_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o year_n 1645._o the_o falsehood_n whereof_o i_o shall_v thus_o discover_v to_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o year_n 1645._o add_v almost_o half_a a_o year_n and_o it_o will_v be_v about_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o year_n 1645._o to_o which_o add_v the_o 18_o year_n and_o it_o will_v be_v in_o the_o 1663._o not_o in_o 1664._o the_o deduction_n therefore_o of_o 18._o y._n and_o almost_o a_o half_a though_o we_o shall_v begin_v the_o deduction_n from_o the_o very_a first_o day_n of_o the_o year_n 1664._o will_v make_v the_o account_n to_o fall_v out_o after_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o year_n 1645._o which_o be_v about_o half_a a_o year_n late_a than_o m._n cary_n count_v 4._o exception_n the_o author_n pag._n 98._o make_v the_o time_n of_o the_o witness_n lie_v dead_a for_o three_o year_n and_o a_o half_a to_o begin_v on_o the_o day_n when_o the_o war_n begin_v in_o ireland_n which_o how_o it_o will_v stand_v with_o what_o the_o author_n say_v elsewhere_o i_o know_v not_o unless_o we_o shall_v make_v the_o saint_n in_o england_n to_o lie_v dead_a from_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o war_n in_o ireland_n which_o how_o rational_a it_o be_v let_v indifferent_a man_n judge_v &_o yet_o thus_o it_o must_v be_v upon_o her_o ground_n for_o by_o the_o witness_n she_o understand_v at_o least_o principal_o the_o saint_n in_o england_n for_o thus_o she_o explain_v herself_o pag._n 87._o as_o the_o war_n in_o england_n and_o ireland_n be_v make_v by_o the_o beast_n so_o it_o be_v make_v by_o he_o against_o the_o witness_n the_o saint_n and_o precious_a one_o of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o that_o which_o be_v do_v against_o the_o most_o considerable_a number_n of_o saint_n be_v do_v against_o the_o whole_a as_o be_v the_o way_n to_o prevail_v over_o all_o now_o in_o england_n there_o be_v a_o more_o considerable_a number_n of_o the_o faithful_a servant_n and_o witness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n then_o in_o any_o kingdom_n in_o the_o world_n as_o one_o true_o say_v england_n be_v the_o rich_a ship_n in_o the_o world_n for_o god_n have_v more_o of_o those_o precious_a jewel_n in_o it_o than_o he_o have_v iâ_n any_o other_o kingdom_n in_o the_o world_n 5._o exception_n the_o author_n pag._n 98._o make_v the_o five_o of_o april_n 1645._o to_o be_v the_o day_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o witness_n wherein_o she_o contradict_v she_o own_o account_n pag._n 82._o but_o because_o this_o exception_n have_v affinity_n with_o the_o three_o i_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o to_o it_o but_o this_o that_o if_o she_o have_v make_v her_o day_n for_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o witness_v a_o year_n late_a she_o will_v have_v agree_v with_o her_o own_o account_n which_o now_o she_o do_v not_o for_o she_o abate_v 18._o year_n and_o almost_o a_o half_a add_v to_o april_n the_o five_o 1646._o will_v have_v make_v the_o day_n to_o have_v fall_v out_o in_o the_o year_n 1664._o as_o the_o 1260._o add_v to_o her_o 404._o make_v up_o the_o same_o account_n 6._o exception_n the_o author_n pag._n 98._o make_v the_o time_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o witness_n and_o the_o expire_a of_o the_o time_n for_o prophesy_v in_o sack_n cloth_n to_o be_v all_o one_o and_o so_o the_o time_n that_o the_o witness_n lie_v dead_a must_v be_v three_o year_n and_o a_o half_a before_o the_o finish_n of_o their_o testimony_n which_o how_o contrary_a it_o be_v to_o the_o scripture_n will_v easy_o appear_v revel_v 11.3.7_o i_o will_v give_v power_n unto_o my_o two_o witness_n and_o they_o shall_v prophesy_v 1260_o day_n clothe_v in_o sackcloth_n and_o when_o they_o shall_v have_v finish_v

only_o insert_v a_o passage_n out_o of_o brightman_n on_o the_o revelation_n print_v in_o the_o year_n 1644._o his_o word_n in_o pag._n 372._o of_o that_o impression_n be_v these_o thy_o time_n of_o

but_o rather_o reason_n against_o it_o which_o i_o shall_v brief_o propose_v in_o behalf_n of_o my_o exception_n my_o first_o reason_n be_v take_v from_o the_o context_n in_o revel_n 11._o when_o
