friar_n parson_n vicar_n curate_n and_o jesuit_n be_v derive_v this_o i_o understand_v to_o be_v the_o number_n of_o his_o name_n and_o this_o exposition_n agree_v with_o that_o in_o the_o verse_n follow_v where_o it_o be_v say_v let_v he_o that_o have_v understanding_n count_v the_o number_n of_o the_o beast_n by_o the_o number_n of_o the_o beast_n what_o can_v be_v understand_v but_o the_o

the_o resemblance_n and_o likeness_n of_o a_o man_n as_o follow_v to_o be_v declare_v thus_o we_o see_v who_o may_v buy_v and_o sell_v in_o this_o kingdom_n and_o who_o may_v not_o here_o be_v wisdom_n let_v he_o that_o have_v understanding_n count_v the_o number_n of_o the_o 18._o verse_n 18._o beast_n for_o it_o be_v the_o number_n of_o a_o man_n and_o his_o number_n be_v 666._o here_o be_v show_v first_o what_o be_v require_v in_o search_v out_o this_o mystery_n and_o that_o be_v wisdom_n and_o understanding_n not_o such_o as_o be_v from_o beneath_o but_o from_o above_o which_o come_v down_o from_o the_o father_n of_o light_n from_o who_o come_v every_o good_a and_o perfect_a gift_n he_o it_o be_v that_o give_v wisdom_n to_o the_o simple_a and_o the_o understanding_n of_o his_o secret_n to_o those_o that_o fear_v he_o which_o shall_v teach_v those_o that_o desire_v to_o know_v the_o mystery_n of_o his_o will_n to_o labour_v to_o be_v such_o as_o to_o who_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o reveal_v they_o then_o whatsoever_o we_o ask_v we_o shall_v receive_v of_o he_o for_o to_o such_o he_o give_v liberal_o and_o upbraid_v not_o second_o here_o be_v show_v a_o direction_n how_o to_o employ_v a_o man_n wisdom_n in_o find_v out_o this_o mystery_n and_o that_o be_v by_o count_v or_o reckon_v the_o number_n of_o this_o beast_n three_o a_o reason_n why_o the_o number_n of_o the_o beast_n be_v to_o be_v count_v because_o it_o be_v the_o number_n of_o a_o man_n that_o be_v it_o agree_v with_o and_o be_v answerable_a to_o the_o part_n of_o a_o man_n and_o so_o be_v the_o more_o easy_o to_o be_v find_v for_o as_o we_o know_v the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n be_v compare_v in_o the_o scripture_n to_o the_o natural_a body_n of_o a_o man_n as_o in_o 1._o cor._n 12._o 12._o for_o as_o the_o body_n be_v one_o and_o have_v many_o member_n and_o all_o the_o member_n of_o that_o one_o body_n be_v many_o be_v one_o body_n so_o also_o be_v christ_n jesus_n and_o in_o the_o 27._o verse_n the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n he_o say_v you_o be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o member_n in_o particular_a etc._n etc._n so_o in_o the_o ephes_n 1._o 22._o 23._o christ_n be_v give_v to_o be_v head_n over_o all_o thing_n to_o the_o church_n which_o be_v his_o body_n thus_o as_o the_o true_a church_n be_v call_v and_o compare_v to_o a_o body_n so_o the_o catholic_n affirm_v that_o they_o only_o be_v that_o church_n and_o that_o body_n and_o that_o the_o particular_a part_n and_o member_n of_o their_o church_n be_v the_o full_a number_n thereof_o now_o whereas_o they_o say_v they_o be_v the_o church_n let_v we_o say_v they_o be_v the_o beast_n and_o whereas_o they_o say_v their_o particular_a part_n and_o member_n make_v up_o the_o number_n of_o the_o church_n let_v we_o say_v their_o particular_a part_n and_o member_n make_v up_o the_o number_n of_o the_o beast_n and_o so_o we_o find_v the_o true_a interpretation_n of_o this_o scripture_n further_o here_o be_v set_v down_o the_o number_n
and_o be_v so_o transubstantiate_v to_o offer_v it_o up_o unto_o god_n a_o sacrifice_n propitiatory_a both_o for_o quick_a and_o dead_a thus_o the_o wound_a head_n of_o priesthood_n be_v cure_v and_o revive_v and_o so_o become_v the_o world_n wonder_n as_o now_o it_o follow_v to_o be_v declare_v according_a as_o john_n here_o witness_v and_o all_o the_o world_n wonder_v after_o the_o beast_n that_o be_v the_o people_n of_o the_o nation_n have_v this_o priesthood_n set_v over_o they_o and_o commend_v unto_o they_o to_o be_v of_o such_o power_n and_o dignity_n as_o that_o they_o can_v make_v they_o a_o visible_a god_n not_o only_o to_o behold_v with_o their_o eye_n and_o look_v upon_o but_o also_o to_o eat_v and_o that_o their_o maker_n and_o redeemer_n to_o their_o everlasting_a salvation_n and_o be_v so_o effectual_o delude_v as_o that_o they_o believe_v these_o lie_n hereupon_o they_o wonder_v and_o follow_v the_o beast_n well_o may_v they_o wonder_v to_o see_v bread_n and_o taste_v bread_n where_o be_v no_o bread_n and_o to_o see_v wine_n and_o taste_v wine_n where_o be_v no_o wine_n for_o so_o be_v they_o make_v to_o believe_v and_o to_o eat_v flesh_n and_o drink_v blood_n and_o yet_o neither_o to_o see_v nor_o taste_v flesh_n nor_o blood_n this_o be_v a_o wonder_n to_o wonder_v at_o and_o who_o will_v not_o follow_v he_o for_o a_o guide_n that_o have_v power_n to_o work_v such_o wonder_n but_o they_o do_v not_o only_o follow_v the_o beast_n as_o the_o jew_n do_v christ_n when_o they_o see_v his_o miracle_n but_o they_o worship_v the_o dragon_n which_o give_v 4._o ver._n 4._o power_n unto_o the_o beast_n and_o they_o worship_v the_o beast_n say_v who_o be_v like_a unto_o the_o beast_n who_o be_v able_a to_o make_v war_n with_o he_o to_o worship_n be_v to_o hear_v and_o obey_v and_o by_o worship_v the_o dragon_n be_v show_v that_o they_o whole_o addict_v themselves_o to_o be_v direct_v and_o rule_v by_o the_o beast_n who_o the_o

second_o they_o worship_v the_o beast_n as_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o they_o become_v subject_n in_o all_o thing_n obedient_a unto_o the_o beast_n as_o be_v of_o such_o
