16.19_o as_o in_o be_v at_o the_o pour_v out_o of_o the_o seven_o vial_n for_o then_o it_o be_v say_v great_a
babylon_n come_v into_o remembrance_n before_o god_n thus_o we_o see_v it_o manifest_v that_o there_o be_v two_o babylon_n mention_v in_o the_o revelation_n yet_o let_v it_o be_v consider_v that_o

2._o political_o for_o the_o antichristian_a state_n or_o four_o kingdom_n under_o antichrist_n as_o have_v the_o supreme_a rule_n in_o it_o and_o thus_o as_o the_o two_o beast_n be_v but_o one_o
