be_v common_o believe_v by_o this_o reckon_n we_o leave_v the_o beast_n the_o space_n while_o six_o vial_n be_v a_o pour_v forth_o after_o that_o the_o term_n of_o the_o witness_n prophecy_n be_v

the_o three_o year_n and_o a_o half_a betwixt_o the_o slay_a and_o resurrection_n of_o the_o witness_n sure_o this_o time_n be_v too_o scant_o for_o four_o vial_n to_o be_v pour_v forth_o in_o and_o beside_o the_o witness_n who_o as_o we_o have_v show_v former_o do_v pour_v forth_o all_o the_o vial_n do_v lie_v dead_a during_o all_o that_o space_n and_o therefore_o those_o vial_n can_v then_o be_v pour_v forth_o to_o gather_v up_o all_o this_o in_o brief_a the_o witness_n torment_v the_o earth_n with_o four_o or_o five_o vial_n before_o they_o be_v slay_v the_o six_o and_o seven_o vial_n fall_v in_o with_o the_o time_n of_o their_o resurrection_n and_o therefore_o that_o time_n wherein_o either_o none_o or_o but_o one_o of_o the_o vial_n be_v pour_v forth_o as_o be_v the_o time_n of_o the_o counsel_n of_o trent_n can_v be_v the_o time_n of_o the_o slay_v of_o the_o witness_n 3._o if_o the_o slay_v and_o rise_v again_o of_o the_o witness_n be_v then_o whence_o be_v it_o that_o since_o that_o time_n these_o witness_n have_v be_v so_o grievous_o persecute_v how_o be_v it_o that_o since_o that_o time_n so_o many_o have_v continue_v to_o prophesy_v in_o sackcloth_n yea_o so_o many_o have_v be_v silence_v and_o suspend_v in_o this_o kingdom_n in_o other_o place_n have_v they_o be_v once_o slay_v and_o rise_v again_o afterward_o they_o prophesy_v in_o sackcloth_n no_o more_o be_v slay_v no_o more_o if_o they_o rise_v again_o then_o how_o be_v it_o that_o for_o a_o hundred_o year_n space_n since_o that_o time_n we_o have_v find_v they_o still_o continue_v to_o prophesy_v in_o sackcloth_n 4._o if_o it_o can_v be_v clear_v that_o the_o one_o thousand_o two_o hundred_o and_o threescore_o year_n the_o term_n of_o the_o witness_n prophesy_v can_v begin_v so_o high_a as_o

constantine_n and_o so_o reach_v over_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n near_a to_o our_o time_n than_o the_o business_n be_v at_o a_o end_n there_o will_v be_v no_o further_o question_v in_o this_o matter_n to_o clear_v this_o same_o therefore_o and_o so_o i_o shall_v essay_n to_o show_v you_o when_o this_o one_o thousand_o two_o hundred_o and_o threescore_o year_n of_o the_o witness_n prophecy_n do_v begin_v that_o which_o every_o one_o so_o greedy_o inquire_v after_o for_o this_o purpose_n i_o must_v remember_v you_o of_o what_o i_o former_o hint_v namely_o that_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gentile_n tread_v down_o the_o holy_a city_n the_o time_n of_o the_o beast_n his_o reign_v forty_o two_o month_n the_o time_n of_o the_o woman_n in_o the_o wilderness_n time_n time_n and_o half_a a_o time_n and_o the_o time_n of_o the_o witness_n prophesy_v in_o sackcloth_n a_o thousand_o two_o hundred_o and_o threescore_o day_n seem_v all_o of_o they_o to_o be_v the_o same_o time_n so_o that_o if_o we_o can_v find_v where_o any_o of_o these_o either_o begin_v or_o end_v we_o shall_v find_v where_o every_o of_o they_o begin_v and_o end_v also_o this_o state_v which_o none_o

can_v not_o be_v when_o constantine_n come_v to_o be_v emperor_n which_o quash_v the_o former_a opinion_n for_o after_o he_o the_o roman_a emperor_n which_o be_v the_o let_v the_o apostle_n speak_v

than_o the_o hindrance_n become_v remove_v resp._n i_o answer_v no_o it_o be_v the_o emperor_n whether_o pagan_n or_o christian_n that_o be_v the_o hindrance_n for_o both_o these_o make_v but_o the_o six_o head_n i_o mean_v the_o six_o kind_n of_o government_n the_o roman_a empire_n be_v to_o be_v cast_v into_o while_o these_o stay_v on_o they_o hinder_v the_o rise_n up_o of_o the_o seven_o it_o be_v the_o six_o head_n stand_v on_o that_o hinder_v the_o rise_n up_o and_o appearance_n of_o the_o seven_o to_o make_v this_o more_o plain_a conceive_v it_o all_o thus_o the_o roman_a empire_n be_v present_v in_o this_o prophecy_n as_o a_o beast_n with_o 3._o chap._n 17._o verse_n 3._o seven_o head_n which_o seven_o head_n be_v seven_o kind_n of_o government_n one_o in_o order_n succeed_v a_o

the_o emperor_n the_o six_o head_n must_v be_v wound_v to_o death_n before_o the_o seven_o viz._n that_o of_o pope_n can_v succeed_v in_o the_o room_n of_o it_o but_o than_o it_o will_v be_v ask_v when_o have_v this_o six_o head_n the_o deadly_a wound_n the_o second_o thing_n we_o be_v to_o inquire_v concern_v but_o before_o i_o speak_v direct_o to_o this_o query_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o note_v these_o two_o thing_n 1._o this_o deadly_a wound_n of_o the_o six_o head_n be_v make_v by_o the_o sword_n so_o you_o read_v express_o at_o the_o fifteen_o chapter_n 14_o verse_n 2._o upon_o

this_o premise_a we_o say_v then_o seem_v this_o deadly_a wound_n of_o the_o six_o head_n the_o head_n of_o emperor_n begin_v to_o be_v make_v when_o in_o the_o year_n 365_o or_o there_o about_o those_o barbarous_a nation_n the_o almain_n quade_v goth_n with_o several_a other_o break_v in_o upon_o the_o roman_a empire_n burn_v and_o destroy_v where_o they_o come_v from_o this_o time_n seem_v lay_v the_o groundwork_n of_o the_o ruin_n of_o the_o western_a emperor_n not_o long_o after_o this_o about_o the_o year_n 412_o as_o sl●idan_n reckon_v 2._o sleid●n_o sum_n imper_v lib._n 2._o or_o 410_o as_o other_o alaricus_n the_o goth_n sack_n rome_n itself_o sure_o this_o be_v a_o deadly_a blow_n to_o the_o emperor_n indeed_o when_o the_o seat_n of_o the_o empire_n itself_o become_v conquer_v it_o can_v not_o

be_v ●ut_v at_o this_o time_n the_o six_o head_n shall_v lie_v a_o bleed_a and_o indeed_o it_o do_v so_o for_o just_a this_o very_a year_n as_o some_o observe_v several_a of_o the_o ten_o horn_n begin_v to_o appear_v upon_o the_o seven_o head_n the_o three_o thing_n we_o be_v to_o inquire_v i_o say_v several_a of_o those_o ten_o horn_n those_o ten_o kingdom_n into_o which_o the_o roman_a empire_n become_v divide_v even_o this_o very_a year_n begin_v to_o rise_v up_o upon_o the_o ruin_n of_o the_o now_o dissolve_a empire_n and_o sure_o the_o six●h_o head_n at_o this_o time_n must_v be_v very_o low_a when_o several_a of_o the_o horn_n of_o the_o seven_o head_n which_o as_o be_v in_o nature_n so_o here_o be_v after_o the_o head_n be_v now_o become_v visible_a and_o conspicuous_a sure_a much_o more_o the_o seven_o head_n itself_o upon_o which_o these_o horn_n grow_v be_v by_o this_o time_n in_o be_v and_o visible_a also_o yet_o by_o the_o way_n not_o in_o be_v a_o hundred_o year_n at_o least_o before_o this_o time_n of_o the_o first_o horn_n spring_v up_o which_o yet_o they_o must_v say_v who_o will_v begin_v the_o beast_n his_o 42_o month_n as_o high_a as_o constantine_n for_o though_o the_o horn_n be_v to_o be_v conceive_v after_o the_o head_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o unreasonable_a thing_n to_o imagine_v they_o a_o hundred_o year_n after_o especial_o when_o we_o be_v tell_v that_o these_o receive_v power_n at_o one_o hour_n with_o the_o beast_n chap._n 17._o ver_fw-la 12._o but_o this_o on_o the_o by_o to_o our_o purpose_n therefore_o again_o the_o empire_n after_o this_o have_v some_o struggle_n with_o the_o pang_n of_o death_n for_o the_o space_n of_o forty_o year_n or_o thereabouts_o but_o when_o genserious_a the_o vand●l_n come_v about_o the_o year_n 455_o and_o sack_n rome_n a●ain_o and_o now_o burn_v it_o at_o which_o time_n all_o the_o ten_o horn_n be_v grow_v out_o the_o ten_o kingdom_n grow_v complete_a then_o become_v the_o roman_a empire_n utter_o extinct_a but_o now_o the_o question_n will_v be_v from_o which_o of_o these_o period_n must_v we_o begin_v to_o reckon_v the_o beast_n his_o forty_o and_o two_o month_n whether_o from_o the_o first_o incursion_n of_o the_o goth_n upon_o the_o roman_a empire_n in_o the_o year_n 365_o or_o when_o they_o sack_v rome_n in_o the_o year_n 410_o or_o else_o in_o 455_o when_o the_o empire_n of_o the_o west_n expire_v or_o from_o any_o point_n of_o time_n between_o any_o of_o these_o i_o answer_v to_o begin_v with_o it_o from_o this_o or_o that_o precise_a year_n i_o dare_v not_o when_o the_o fulfil_n of_o this_o same_o be_v clear_a then_o may_v we_o be_v more_o bold_a only_o i_o shall_v aim_v it_o to_o begin_v sometime_o between_o the_o first_o invasion_n of_o the_o empire_n 365_o and_o the_o sack_n of_o rom_n 410._o sometime_o near_o theodosius_n the_o great_a his_o come_n to_o the_o empire_n which_o historian_n will_v tell_v you_o be_v about_o the_o

the_o woman_n take_v the_o opportunity_n of_o this_o good_a prince_n and_o by_o he_o be_v holpen_v with_o the_o to_o eagle_n wing_n escape_v into_o the_o wilderness_n from_o the_o dragon_n who_o in_o

overwhelm_v by_o they_o about_o this_o time_n i_o mean_v some_o period_n between_o 370_o and_o 380_o i_o shall_v begin_v to_o reckon_v the_o beast_n 42_o month_n as_o also_o make_v it_o the_o common_a
