sackcloth-profession_n of_o saint_n in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o little_a horn_n the_o beast_n and_o whorish_a spirit_n or_o as_o i_o may_v say_v judas_n spirit_n of_o self-love_n and_o hypocrisy_n that_o must_v reign_v in_o the_o world_n for_o a_o time_n thus_o we_o see_v it_o be_v jesus_n christ_n after_o the_o flesh_n and_o his_o spirit_n rule_v in_o the_o flesh_n of_o saint_n which_o be_v god_n two_o witness_n the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n send_v down_o into_o saint_n or_o rather_o the_o saint_n take_v up_o into_o fellowship_n with_o that_o spirit_n according_a to_o the_o father_n promise_n and_o love_n to_o his_o son_n and_o daughter_n in_o the_o latter_a day_n which_o must_v prophesy_v in_o sackcloth_n one_o thousand_o two_o hundred_o and_o sixty_o day_n and_o it_o can_v be_v no_o other_o but_o these_o in_o who_o the_o power_n of_o god_n dwell_v and_o rule_v and_o there_o be_v divers_a discovery_n of_o this_o truth_n lay_v down_o by_o god_n himself_o as_o a_o testimony_n from_o he_o that_o these_o two_o be_v his_o witness_n in_o the_o four_o five_o and_o six_o verse_n of_o that_o seven_o chapter_n of_o the_o revelation_n in_o the_o four_o verse_n these_o two_o witness_n be_v ●aid_v to_o be_v the_o two_o olive_n tree_n and_o the_o two_o candlestick_n stand_v before_o the_o god_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n now_o i_o conceive_v that_o these_o two_o olive-tree_n and_o two_o candlestick_n can_v be_v ap●lyed_v to_o no_o other_o but_o to_o the_o two_o appearance_n of_o the_o anoint_v first_o in_o the_o body_n or_o flesh_n of_o christ_n second_o in_o the_o flesh_n of_o saint_n that_o be_v to_o say_v christ_n and_o his_o spirit_n and_o marvel_v not_o that_o i_o say_v christ_n and_o his_o spirit_n be_v the_o two_o candlestick_n 20._o because_o the_o scripture_n in_o other_o place_n call_v christ_n and_o his_o spirit_n the_o light_n of_o god_n as_o indeed_o they_o be_v and_o by_o candlestick_n be_v proper_o mean_v the_o church_n or_o particular_a society_n of_o saint_n as_o st._n john_n write_v but_o in_o this_o place_n 12._o the_o light_n that_o be_v hold_v forth_o be_v this_o eternal_a council_n of_o god_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v this_o son_n by_o who_o he_o will_v bruise_v the_o serpent_n head_n and_o reconcile_v sinner_n to_o himself_o and_o by_o no_o other_o name_n or_o power_n whatsoever_o so_o that_o when_o christ_n be_v visible_o see_v upon_o the_o earth_n in_o the_o day_n and_o hour_n of_o his_o suffering_n or_o time_n of_o his_o sackcloth_n prophesy_v he_o and_o his_o spirit_n in_o one_o person_n be_v the_o candlestiks_n in_o who_o this_o mystery_n of_o god_n and_o truth_n of_o his_o council_n do_v burn_v and_o shine_v forth_o to_o the_o world_n and_o therein_o they_o be_v a_o certain_a witness_n of_o the_o father_n but_o set_v that_o day_n and_o hour_n aside_o and_o then_o proper_o the_o church_n be_v call_v candlestick_n in_o who_o christ_n and_o his_o spirit_n burn_v bright_a and_o shine_v glorious_o man_n or_o woman_n magistrate_n or_o minister_n or_o church_n 19_o can_v be_v call_v these_o two_o candlestick_n because_o the_o church_n eat_v take_v up_o and_o move_v by_o christ_n and_o such_o as_o be_v unwilling_a be_v make_v willing_a to_o bear_v the_o testimony_n of_o god_n by_o the_o almighty_a work_n of_o christ_n in_o they_o that_o believe_v but_o now_o christ_n and_o his_o spirit_n be_v never_o unwilling_a to_o bear_v witness_n to_o this_o purpose_n of_o the_o father_n for_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o the_o father_n have_v declare_v his_o will_n 6._o loe_o i_o come_v say_v christ_n to_o do_v thy_o will_n o_o god_n and_o therefore_o the_o father_n glory_v in_o christ_n and_o make_v proclamation_n to_o all_o the_o world_n 9_o that_o he_o will_v have_v all_o man_n honour_v the_o son_n as_o they_o honour_v the_o father_n then_o again_o they_o be_v call_v two_o olive-tree_n and_o these_o can_v be_v man_n and_o woman_n magistrate_n or_o minister_n but_o only_o christ_n and_o his_o spirit_n if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o four_o chapter_n of_o zechariah_n there_o be_v mention_n of_o one_o golden_a candlestick_n which_o i_o conceive_v be_v the_o general_a church_n of_o christ_n or_o the_o great_a congregation_n as_o david_n speak_v the_o mystical_a body_n of_o christ_n the_o saint_n or_o city_n zion_n and_o than_o there_o be_v mention_n of_o two_o olive_n tree_n by_o the_o candlestick_n one_o upon_o the_o right_a side_n of_o the_o bowl_n and_o the_o other_o upon_o the_o left_a side_n thereof_o now_o these_o two_o olive-tree_n be_v jesus_n christ_n ☜_o and_o his_o spirit_n the_o one_o be_v under_o the_o other_o over_o the_o church_n which_o be_v the_o two_o arm_n of_o god_n embrace_v the_o church_n in_o love_n for_o first_o god_n send_v the_o human_a body_n of_o christ_n to_o testify_v his_o love_n to_o the_o church_n and_o to_o comfort_v she_o in_o all_o her_o assliction_n because_o he_o be_v afflict_v for_o they_o and_o with_o they_o 18._o and_o therofore_o in_o that_o he_o himself_o have_v suffer_v be_v tempt_v he_o be_v able_a to_o succour_v they_o that_o be_v tempt_v and_o this_o be_v the_o olive-tree_n upon_o the_o left_a side_n of_o the_o candlestick_n then_o second_o god_n send_v his_o spirit_n the_o comforter_n to_o testify_v his_o unchangeable_a love_n to_o the_o church_n and_o to_o lead_v she_o into_o all_o truth_n because_o he_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o so_o in_o the_o bodily_a absence_n of_o christ_n the_o spirit_n which_o be_v the_o lord_n our_o righteousness_n 26._o rule_v as_o a_o king_n in_o love_n in_o they_o do_v counsel_n comfort_n sanctify_v and_o remain_v with_o the_o church_n for_o ever_o and_o so_o do_v establish_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n to_o they_o to_o be_v a_o everlasting_a covenant_n and_o this_o be_v the_o olive_n tree_n upon_o the_o right_a side_n of_o the_o candlestick_n and_o further_o 26._o zechariah_n go_v on_o make_v mention_n of_o two_o olive_n branch_n which_o through_o the_o two_o golden_a p●pes_n empty_a the_o golden_a oil_n out_o of_o themselves_o 12._o and_o the_o angel_n say_v to_o zechariah_n know_v thou_o not_o what_o these_o be_v and_o he_o say_v no_o my_o lord_n then_o he_o say_v these_o be_v two_o anoint_a one_o that_o stand_v before_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n now_o these_o two_o olive_n tree_n and_o these_o two_o branch_n that_o thus_o empty_a themselves_o with_o constant_a run_v and_o so_o feed_v the_o church_n with_o life_n and_o light_n which_o be_v that_o golden_a oil_n that_o they_o empty_v out_o of_o themselves_o and_o which_o the_o angel_n likewise_o call_v the_o two_o anoint_a one_o they_o can_v be_v mean_v of_o any_o other_o but_o jesus_n christ_n in_o his_o own_o particular_a person_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o he_o spiritual_o in_o his_o saint_n for_o there_o be_v none_o that_o have_v the_o seven_o pipe_n the_o seven_o lamp_n and_o the_o seven_o eye_n which_o be_v the_o seven_o spiritual_a power_n of_o god_n in_o his_o hand_n but_o only_o jesus_n christ_n 6._o for_o the_o spirit_n descend_v and_o rest_v upon_o he_o and_o in_o he_o dwell_v the_o fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n bodily_a and_o then_o second_o because_o none_o stand_v by_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n 9_o as_o the_o angel_n tell_v zechariah_n but_o only_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o eternal_a spirit_n who_o be_v both_o the_o outward_a and_o the_o inward_a lord_n and_o king_n of_o saint_n and_o this_o be_v clear_v by_o god_n own_o word_n to_o daniel_n 21._o when_o god_n show_v to_o he_o what_o be_v write_v in_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n there_o be_v none_o say_v god_n hold_v or_o stand_v with_o i_o in_o these_o thing_n but_o michael_n your_o prince_n that_o be_v jesus_n christ_n in_o his_o twofold_a discovery_n in_o the_o flesh_n of_o the_o man_n jesus_n and_o in_o the_o flesh_n of_o saint_n by_o the_o same_o spirit_n and_o the_o great_a promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o the_o exalt_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o anoint_a and_o the_o anoint_v be_v this_o 1._o sit_v thou_o say_v god_n on_o my_o right_a hand_n or_o stand_v by_o i_o until_o i_o make_v thy_o enemy_n thy_o footstool_n now_o brethren_n you_o know_v that_o the_o church_n and_o sainr_n do_v not_o receive_v light_n life_n and_o grace_n from_o any_o other_o but_o from_o christ_n of_o his_o fullness_n we_o receive_v grace_n for_o grace_n therefore_o these_o two_o olive-tree_n 16._o these_o two_o candlestick_n which_o john_n speak_v of_o and_o these_o two_o witness_n which_o god_n glory_v in_o 4._o and_o call_v
