doubtless_o be_v the_o downfall_n of_o babylon_n the_o destruction_n of_o mahumetanism_n and_o the_o conversion_n of_o the_o jew_n which_o as_o they_o make_v a_o part_n of_o this_o mystery_n so_o they_o be_v a_o forerunner_n of_o and_o a_o entrance_n into_o this_o reign_n of_o the_o thousand_o year_n it_o be_v much_o at_o one_o whether_o we_o be_v to_o take_v these_o thousand_o year_n
