the_o first_o vial_n be_v the_o popish_a earth_n the_o effect_n a_o infectious_a sore_n according_o the_o witness_n be_v say_v to_o smite_v the_o earth_n and_o that_o with_o plague_n or_o infectious_a

on_o the_o vial_n to_o be_v at_o this_o persent_a time_n under_o the_o three_o vial_n i_o be_v lead_v to_o state_n the_o thing_n aright_o 2_o that_o the_o judgement_n there_o make_v of_o the_o

the_o lamb_n with_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n rev._n 17.14_o and_o the_o ruin_n of_o rome_n this_o war_n of_o the_o lamb_n be_v a_o civil_a war_n a_o war_n make_v by_o a_o civil_a sword_n because_o it_o be_v a_o war_n make_v with_o the_o beast_n civil_a power_n namely_o his_o horn_n and_o second_o it_o be_v a_o civil_a power_n namely_o some_o of_o the_o ten_o king_n that_o be_v

here_o put_v for_o a_o part_n and_o for_o this_o reason_n i_o conceive_v do_v the_o lamb_n at_o this_o day_n go_v under_o that_o title_n king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n because_o in_o this_o war_n he_o shall_v vanquish_v and_o tread_v under_o foot_n king_n lord_n etc._n etc._n now_o this_o war_n must_v by_o all_o circumstance_n be_v a_o war_n within_o the_o vial_n 1_o because_o its_o the_o angel_n of_o one_o of_o the_o vial_n that_o show_v it_o unto_o john_n ver_fw-la 1._o 2_o because_o christ_n have_v so_o many_o choose_a one_o accompany_v he_o in_o this_o war_n which_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o christ_n have_v many_o in_o the_o world_n at_o this_o day_n who_o have_v get_v the_o victory_n over_o the_o beast_n and_o can_v stand_v and_o face_n he_o in_o a_o warlike_a way_n which_o be_v not_o till_o the_o work_n of_o the_o vial_n be_v begin_v 3_o because_o its_o the_o immediate_a forerunner_n of_o rome_n ruin_n the_o story_n of_o which_o therefore_o come_v in_o in_o the_o next_o chapter_n it_o be_v so_o this_o war_n can_v belong_v to_o no_o other_o but_o the_o three_o vial_n the_o subject_n of_o which_o i_o have_v show_v upon_o the_o vial_n be_v some_o particular_a state_n and_o kingdom_n subject_v to_o the_o beast_n i.e._n some_o of_o the_o ten_o horn_n who_o head_n ruler_n &c_n &c_n fall_v by_o the_o pour_v forth_o of_o that_o vial._n nay_o it_o must_v be_v so_o because_o as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o this_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n reveal_v to_o john_n as_o touch_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o beast_n who_o judgement_n in_o the_o explication_n of_o the_o vial_n begin_v with_o the_o three_o vial._n now_o observe_v in_o the_o interval_n betwixt_o this_o war_n and_o rome_n destruction_n we_o have_v the_o proud_a whore_n bring_v in_o glory_v chap._n 18.7_o i_o sit_v as_o a_o queen_n etc._n etc._n and_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n hereof_o but_o only_o the_o victory_n obtain_v now_o in_o the_o conclude_a time_n of_o her_o kingdom_n over_o the_o witness_n as_o we_o have_v already_o note_v i_o therefore_o conclude_v the_o slaughter_n of_o the_o witness_n must_v fall_v in_o this_o interval_n if_o in_o this_o interval_n then_o must_v it_o be_v in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o three_o vial_n for_o upon_o the_o pour_v out_o of_o the_o four_o they_o rise_v yea_o the_o four_o vial_n be_v to_o fall_v upon_o germany_n

the_o witness_n shall_v or_o can_v come_v under_o the_o four_o vial_n for_o how_o improper_a yea_o absurd_a will_v it_o be_v to_o say_v christ_n witness_n by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o beast_n lie_v

sometime_o think_v that_o this_o war_n in_o heaven_n may_v comprehend_v the_o whole_a war_n within_o the_o last_o 60_o year_n of_o the_o beast_n and_o so_o take_v in_o the_o swedish_n war_n and_o our_o english_a war_n too_o and_o this_o i_o confess_v that_o in_o most_o thing_n this_o war_n do_v carry_v a_o likelihood_n as_o well_o to_o the_o english_a as_o the_o swedish_n war_n and_o far_o i_o find_v myself_o much_o incline_v to_o make_v this_o war_n and_o the_o war_n betwixt_o the_o lamb_n and_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n chap._n 17.14_o which_o war_n as_o i_o conceive_v point_v at_o our_o english_a war_n and_o no_o other_o one_o and_o the_o same_o but_o this_o i_o must_v also_o say_v that_o i_o be_o more_o satisfy_v to_o look_v upon_o they_o as_o two_o war_n both_o within_o the_o 60_o year_n and_o the_o one_o follow_v the_o other_o and_o so_o this_o war_n to_o be_v the_o german_a war_n only_o and_o the_o other_o betwixt_o the_o lamb_n and_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o be_v the_o english_a war_n yet_o both_o to_o fall_v within_o the_o last_o 60_o year_n and_o to_o be_v forerunner_n of_o the_o kill_n of_o the_o witness_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o i_o conceive_v this_o war_n to_o be_v the_o german_a war_n only_o and_o not_o the_o english_a also_o be_v 1_o because_o the_o english_a war_n have_v be_v betwixt_o protestant_n only_a but_o this_o war_n be_v a_o war_n betwixt_o some_o eminent_a protestant_a head_n on_o the_o one_o side_n and_o some_o eminent_a and_o profess_a popish_a head_n on_o the_o other_o as_o have_v be_v before_o observe_v 2_o because_o this_o war_n be_v make_v by_o the_o dragon_n be_v not_o so_o fit_o appliable_a to_o any_o one_o nation_n under_o heaven_n as_o the_o german_a empire_n which_o be_v as_o i_o may_v say_v the_o very_a picture_n of_o the_o old_a dragon_n for_o the_o dragon_n be_v set_v forth_o as_o have_v seven_o head_n &_o ten_o horn_n v._o 3._o and_o there_o appear_v another_o wonder_n in_o heaven_n and_o behold_v a_o great_a red_a dragon_n have_v seven_o head_n and_o ten_o horn_n according_o the_o german_a empire_n as_o upon_o another_o occasion_n have_v be_v before_o observe_v consist_v of_o seven_o electoral_a head_n and_o ten_o horn_n i.e._n so_o many_o province_n the_o prophecy_n therefore_o of_o this_o chapter_n may_v without_o any_o force_n be_v apply_v in_o part_n to_o the_o old_a roman_a empire_n and_o also_o in_o part_n to_o the_o present_a german_a empire_n both_o of_o they_o bear_v and_o give_v the_o arm_n of_o the_o dragon_n so_o that_o by_o the_o ruin_n of_o the_o old_a roman_a empire_n the_o dragon_n only_o change_v his_o seat_n forsake_v rome_n his_o old_a seat_n leave_v that_o to_o the_o beast_n and_o betake_v himself_o to_o germany_n where_o the_o beast_n for_o his_o willingness_n to_o surrender_v his_o old_a seat_n to_o he_o provide_v he_o a_o new_a and_o indeed_o there_o may_v be_v these_o two_o reason_n give_v of_o it_o why_o the_o dragon_n who_o govern_v the_o whole_a papal_a kingdom_n do_v yet_o betake_v himself_o to_o germany_n rather_o than_o any_o other_o place_n choose_v that_o for_o his_o seat_n 1_o because_o of_o all_o the_o nation_n subject_v to_o the_o beast_n none_o be_v find_v so_o like_o his_o old_a seat_n the_o pagan_a empire_n as_o the_o new_a erect_a german_a empire_n 2_o because_o the_o woman_n have_v in_o a_o manner_n for_o many_o age_n together_o take_v up_o her_o dwell_n there_o bring_v forth_o child_n and_o send_v they_o abroad_o from_o thence_o into_o other_o part_n therefore_o this_o old_a persecutor_n of_o the_o woman_n
