interpretation_n of_o the_o vision_n of_o those_o two_o prophet_n and_o attempt_v to_o substitute_v other_o in_o their_o room_n i_o have_v plain_o discover_v that_o in_o effect_n he_o have_v find_v

be_v a_o demonstration_n of_o the_o firmness_n and_o certainty_n of_o intelligibleness_n in_o the_o divine_a vision_n and_o that_o they_o be_v in_o no-wise_a compliable_a with_o every_o fancy_n of_o either_o a_o rash_a or_o design_v interpreter_n nor_o may_v be_v make_v a_o nose_n of_o wax_n as_o some_o fond_o imagine_v second_o in_o answer_v these_o remark_n there_o be_v so_o many_o occasion_n of_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o true_a and_o genuine_a rule_n of_o interpret_n prophecy_n the_o vision_n especial_o of_o daniel_n and_o the_o apocalypse_n and_o of_o the_o remarker_n transgression_n of_o they_o that_o the_o read_n of_o these_o remark_n with_o the_o answer_n thereto_o can_v but_o add_v to_o the_o skill_n and_o judgement_n of_o any_o one_o that_o have_v a_o genius_n this_o way_n three_o in_o the_o answer_n to_o these_o remark_n there_o be_v not_o only_o a_o far_a illustration_n and_o confirmation_n of_o the_o expositor_n interpretation_n of_o these_o prophecy_n but_o light_n

to_o publish_v these_o remark_n together_o with_o my_o answer_n because_o i_o can_v not_o be_v assure_v but_o that_o sometime_o or_o other_o they_o may_v come_v out_o without_o any_o answer_n to_o they_o which_o may_v be_v a_o prejudice_n to_o the_o truth_n for_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v write_v with_o great_a confidence_n and_o pretend_v much_o to_o scripture-autority_n and_o be_v varnish_v over_o with_o scripture-phrase_n and_o no_o body_n by_o to_o show_v their_o error_n and_o defect_n they_o may_v strike_v great_a reverence_n into_o the_o heedless_a populacy_n and_o make_v the_o remarker_n go_v for_o some_o notable_a hypopheta_n or_o interpreter_n of_o the_o prophet_n whenas_o there_o be_v not_o one_o true_a stroke_n in_o all_o his_o pretend_a interpretation_n that_o clash_n with_o the_o expositor_n though_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o to_o be_v impute_v to_o want_v of_o diligence_n and_o ability_n in_o the_o remarker_n as_o to_o the_o invincibleness_n of_o truth_n and_o so_o the_o ordinary_a people_n will_v be_v draw_v into_o wretched_a mistake_n and_o the_o profane_a wit_n not_o think_v it_o worth_a the_o while_n to_o give_v themselves_o the_o trouble_n of_o

and_o confusion_n and_o last_o i_o have_v a_o more_o special_a eye_n to_o those_o two_o great_a and_o useful_a truth_n exhibit_v to_o we_o in_o the_o vision_n of_o the_o apocalypse_n the_o first_o that_o the_o late_a reformation_n begin_v by_o luther_n and_o propagate_v and_o perfect_v in_o other_o kingdom_n and_o country_n and_o more_o especial_o here_o in_o england_n be_v the_o rise_n of_o the_o witness_n the_o second_o that_o the_o primitive_a time_n till_o about_o four_o hundred_o year_n after_o christ_n be_v symmetral_a the_o evidence_n of_o which_o two_o truth_n the_o remarker_n
