that_o the_o prophecy_n which_o follow_v shall_v be_v be_v sweet_a in_o the_o beginning_n but_o bitter_a afterward_o 2._o to_o signify_v unto_o he_o that_o he_o have_v not_o make_v a_o end_n of_o

to_o four_o head_n 1._o whereas_o other_o man_n expound_v the_o prophecy_n of_o the_o revelation_n mystical_o according_a to_o the_o common_a say_n quot_fw-la verba_fw-la tot_fw-la mysteria_fw-la as_o

without_o make_v they_o symbol_n type_n or_o figure_n of_o any_o other_o thing_n than_o what_o their_o usual_a signification_n will_v afford_v 2._o whereas_o other_o will_v have_v the_o accomplishment_n of_o the_o prophecy_n to_o be_v in_o england_n scotland_n and_o other_o part_n of_o europe_n i_o make_v the_o scene_n in_o which_o the_o prophecy_n shall_v be_v act_v and_o fulfil_v to_o be_v judea_n and_o other_o part_n of_o asia_n 3._o whereas_o other_o man_n will_v not_o have_v the_o prophecy_n commence_v in_o order_n as_o they_o be_v reveal_v to_o john_n i_o make_v they_o all_o come_v to_o pass_v in_o order_n as_o they_o be_v reveal_v to_o he_o and_o i_o make_v the_o order_n give_v light_a to_o the_o exposition_n and_o not_o the_o exposition_n to_o the_o order_n and_o i_o say_v the_o order_n teach_v how_o the_o prophecy_n be_v to_o be_v explain_v and_o interpret_v and_o not_o the_o exposition_n in_o what_o order_n they_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v 4._o whereas_o other_o be_v of_o the_o mind_n that_o the_o prophecy_n which_o i_o write_v upon_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n fulfil_v already_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o all_o and_o every_o one_o of_o they_o
