affliction_n affliction_n be_v all_o that_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o one_o will_n thereby_o god_n eat_v out_o the_o core_n of_o our_o will_n whensoever_o therefore_o you_o meet_v with_o any_o affliction_n pray_v over_o it_o and_o beg_v that_o god_n will_v eat_v out_o the_o core_n of_o your_o will_n thereby_o and_o the_o more_o the_o core_n of_o your_o will_n be_v eat_v out_o the_o more_o willing_a will_v you_o be_v to_o suffer_v for_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n eleven_o and_o then_o to_o draw_v to_o a_o conclusion_n that_o you_o may_v be_v willing_a to_o suffer_v for_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n lay_v these_o thing_n and_o this_o great_a reward_n wishly_o upon_o your_o heart_n and_o thereby_o you_o will_v be_v make_v more_o willing_a you_o see_v how_o it_o be_v with_o a_o man_n that_o be_v go_v to_o court_n he_o ride_v through_o this_o plash_n and_o the_o other_o plash_n i_o be_o go_v to_o court_n and_o there_o i_o shall_v be_v make_v a_o man_n if_o i_o get_v but_o thither_o why_o true_o we_o be_v go_v to_o the_o court_n of_o the_o king_n of_o king_n and_o these_o suffering_n that_o we_o meet_v withal_o be_v the_o plash_n by_o the_o way_n but_o christian_n there_o be_v enough_o in_o heaven_n to_o pay_v for_o all_o luther_n say_v let_v he_o be_v miserable_a that_o can_v be_v miserable_a so_o you_o that_o suffer_v for_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n you_o can_v be_v miserable_a christ_n have_v pronounce_v you_o bless_v and_o you_o shall_v be_v bless_v and_o you_o see_v what_o a_o reward_n here_o be_v in_o the_o text_n a_o hundred_o fold_n in_o this_o life_n and_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v life_n everlasting_a i_o shall_v only_o say_v this_o be_v the_o part_a speech_n there_o be_v no_o loss_n in_o lose_v for_o jesus_n christ_n whatsoever_o you_o do_v loose_a for_o christ_n you_o shall_v find_v it_o infinite_o in_o christ_n christ_n and_o a_o little_a be_v a_o great_a deal_n the_o only_a way_n to_o have_v a_o mercy_n be_v to_o be_v content_a to_o go_v without_o it_o and_o the_o only_a way_n to_o prevent_v a_o misery_n be_v to_o be_v willing_a to_o endure_v it_o now_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v prevent_v suffer_v be_v willing_a to_o suffer_v for_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o the_o mean_n be_v to_o be_v make_v willing_a and_o so_o i_o have_v do_v with_o this_o answer_n of_o christ_n in_o this_o part_n of_o the_o answer_v you_o see_v how_o we_o may_v be_v make_v willing_a to_o suffer_v for_o christ_n and_o in_o the_o cautional_a part_n some_o of_o you_o hear_v how_o we_o shall_v so_o order_v our_o suffering_n as_o that_o they_o may_v turn_v to_o a_o good_a account_n now_o he_o that_o have_v ear_n to_o hear_v let_v he_o hear_v serm._n iu._n the_o

their_o testimony_n to_o christ_n the_o witness_v time_n be_v divide_v into_o three_o part_n he_o prophesy_v time_n the_o time_n of_o their_o prophecy_n from_o the_o three_o verse_n unto_o the_o

that_o i_o have_v now_o read_v you_o have_v the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n prophesy_v or_o witness_v in_o the_o day_n of_o antichrist_n call_v witness_n who_o be_v here_o describe_v first_o by_o

have_v power_n to_o shut_v heaven_n that_o it_o rain_v not_o in_o the_o day_n of_o their_o prophecy_n and_o have_v power_n over_o water_n to_o turn_v they_o into_o blood_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o now_o from_o all_o this_o i_o take_v up_o this_o one_o observation_n observe_v though_o the_o saint_n and_o faithful_a witness_n of_o j●sus_n christ_n must_v lie_v in_o sackcloth_n 1260_o day_n or_o year_n yet_o in_o that_o time_n they_o shall_v be_v very_o fruitful_a and_o prophesy_v and_o do_v great_a thing_n in_o the_o end_n of_o those_o day_n for_o the_o clear_n whereof_o five_o or_o six_o thing_n will_v fall_v under_o our_o consideration_n first_o why_o the_o saint_n and_o people_n of_o god_n be_v call_v witness_n second_o what_o these_o witness_n be_v more_o especial_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o number_n and_o quality_n three_o how_o and_o in_o what_o respect_n they_o be_v clothe_v in_o sackcloth_n and_o how_o long_o four_o what_o this_o prophecy_n be_v and_o how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o they_o prophesy_v in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o sackcloth_n five_o what_o be_v their_o defence_n and_o guard_n wherewith_o they_o be_v guard_v and_o defend_v in_o the_o day_n of_o their_o prophecy_n six_o what_o be_v the_o great_a thing_n that_o they_o shall_v do_v in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o their_o prophecy_n i_o shall_v run_v through_o these_o particular_n as_o brief_o as_o i_o may_v and_o first_o if_o you_o ask_v why_o the_o saint_n and_o people_n of_o god_n be_v here_o call_v witness_n i_o answer_v because_o it_o be_v their_o work_n and_o business_n to_o bear_v witness_n to_o the_o truth_n and_o way_n of_o christ_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o way_n of_o antichrist_n if_o you_o look_v into_o this_o book_n of_o the_o revelation_n you_o will_v find_v they_o be_v so_o describe_v by_o bear_v witness_n unto_o the_o way_n and_o the_o truth_n of_o christ_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o way_n of_o antichrist_n for_o look_v but_o a_o little_a into_o this_o book_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o people_n that_o be_v mark_v the_o follower_n of_o the_o beast_n be_v mark_v and_o the_o follower_n of_o the_o lamb_n be_v mark_v in_o their_o forehead_n the_o follower_n of_o the_o beast_n be_v mark_v in_o rev._n 13._o 16._o and_o he_o cause_v all_o both_o small_a and_o great_a rich_a and_o poor_a free_a and_o bond_n to_o receive_v a_o mark_n in_o their_o right_a hand_n or_o in_o their_o forehead_n the_o follower_n of_o the_o lamb_n be_v mark_v in_o their_o forehead_n too_o chap._n 14._o ver_fw-la 1._o and_o i_o look_v and_o lo_o a_o lamb_n stand_v on_o the_o mount_n zion_n and_o with_o he_o 144000_o have_v his_o father_n name_v write_v in_o their_o forehead_n but_o now_o though_o the_o follower_n of_o the_o lamb_n be_v thus_o mark_v with_o their_o father_n name_v write_v in_o their_o forehead_n yet_o their_o mark_n do_v not_o only_o consist_v in_o some_o thing_n that_o be_v positive_a but_o in_o refuse_v the_o mark_n of_o the_o beast_n rev._n 20._o why_o but_o to_o show_v thus_o much_o that_o they_o be_v witness_n upon_o this_o account_n because_o they_o do_v bear_v witness_n unto_o christ_n the_o truth_n and_o way_n of_o christ_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o way_n of_o antichrist_n thus_o they_o be_v conform_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o true_a and_o the_o
any_o man_n will_v hurt_v they_o mind_n a_o little_a it_o seem_v then_o first_o that_o there_o will_v always_o be_v some_o in_o readiness_n to_o hurt_v the_o witness_v people_n of_o christ_n though_o they_o be_v impower_v to_o witness_v from_o christ_n himself_o though_o the_o saint_n and_o people_n of_o god_n be_v impower_v by_o christ_n himself_o for_o to_o bear_v their_o testimony_n there_o will_v always_o be_v some_o or_o other_o to_o hurt_v the_o witness_v people_n of_o god_n if_o any_o man_n will_v hurt_v they_o they_o that_o be_v witness_n but_o second_o though_o man_n do_v hurt_v the_o witness_v people_n of_o god_n they_o shall_v not_o go_v unpunished_a if_o any_o man_n will_v hurt_v they_o fire_n proceed_v out_o of_o their_o mouth_n and_o devour_v their_o enemy_n though_o the_o enemy_n may_v hurt_v the_o witness_v people_n of_o christ_n the_o enemy_n shall_v be_v hurt_v themselves_o they_o shall_v not_o go_v unpunished_a but_o three_o they_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v punish_v that_o hurt_v the_o witness_v people_n of_o god_n but_o they_o shall_v be_v punish_v with_o a_o so_o he_o must_v in_o this_o manner_n or_o so_o he_o must_v so_o be_v punish_v so_o how_o so_o so_o look_v in_o what_o way_n he_o think_v to_o have_v hurt_v the_o witness_v people_n of_o god_n so_o shall_v he_o be_v hurt_v look_v by_o what_o man_n he_o seek_v to_o hurt_v the_o people_n of_o god_n by_o the_o same_o hand_n and_o mean_n shall_v he_o be_v hurt_v himself_o but_o so_o so_o by_o fire_n come_v out_o of_o their_o mouth_n by_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n they_o shall_v be_v blast_v and_o consume_v not_o by_o sword_n not_o by_o might_n nor_o by_o strength_n but_o by_o fire_n come_v out_o of_o their_o mouth_n so_o so_o he_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v punish_v but_o be_v punish_v with_o a_o so_o that_o hurt_v the_o witness_v people_n of_o god_n oh_o my_o belove_a friend_n why_o do_v you_o shut_v your_o mouth_n why_o shall_v you_o not_o be_v much_o in_o prayer_n what_o do_v fire_n come_v out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o witness_v people_n of_o god_n to_o devour_v their_o enemy_n and_o will_v you_o shut_v your_o mouth_n and_o not_o pray_v oh_o where_o will_v opposer_n appear_v what_o will_v become_v of_o those_o that_o hurt_v the_o witness_v people_n of_o god_n o_o woe_n to_o they_o oh_o what_o a_o dangerous_a thing_n be_v it_o to_o oppose_v the_o prayer_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n this_o be_v the_o fire_n that_o come_v out_o of_o their_o mouth_n whereby_o those_o that_o hurt_v they_o be_v scorch_v and_o therefore_o let_v man_n take_v heed_n how_o they_o hurt_v any_o of_o the_o witness_v people_n of_o christ_n and_o let_v all_o those_o that_o be_v witness_n pray_v you_o that_o be_v witness_n now_o open_v your_o mouth_n for_o fire_n proceed_v out_o of_o your_o mouth_n to_o devour_v the_o enemy_n that_o hurt_v the_o witness_v people_n of_o god_n open_v your_o mouth_n wide_a and_o so_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o five_o thing_n the_o guard_n whereby_o the_o witness_n be_v guard_v in_o the_o day_n of_o their_o prophecy_n 6._o the_o six_o thing_n remain_v and_o that_o be_v what_o be_v the_o great_a thing_n that_o these_o witness_n will_v do_v in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o day_n of_o their_o prophecy_n and_o of_o their_o sackcloth_n why_o brief_o thus_o in_o the_o general_n it_o be_v say_v these_o have_v power_n to_o smite_v the_o earth_n with_o all_o plague_n as_o often_o as_o they_o will_v that_o be_v as_o i_o humble_o conceive_v pour_v out_o the_o seven_o vial_n in_o rev._n 16._o the_o seven_o vial_n be_v pour_v out_o upon_o the_o earth_n and_o why_o be_v it_o speak_v of_o here_o that_o they_o have_v power_n to_o smite_v the_o earth_n with_o all_o plague_n but_o to_o show_v that_o at_o least_o some_o of_o the_o vial_n shall_v be_v pour_v out_o before_o the_o witness_n be_v slay_v but_o not_o to_o fix_v there_o more_o particular_o first_o these_o have_v a_o power_n to_o shut_v heaven_n that_o it_o rain_v not_o in_o the_o day_n of_o their_o prophecy_n what_o be_v that_o certain_o it_o must_v relate_v unto_o elijah_n that_o elijah_n pray_v and_o by_o his_o prayer_n he_o shut_v the_o heaven_n that_o it_o rain_v not_o for_o three_o year_n and_o a_o half_a plain_o it_o relate_v unto_o elijah_n as_o can_v be_v elijah_n pray_v and_o by_o his_o prayer_n he_o shut_v the_o heaven_n that_o it_o rain_v not_o for_o three_o year_n and_o a_o half_a well_o but_o what_o be_v the_o heaven_n here_o those_o can_v be_v understand_v literal_o but_o spiritual_o as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o 8_o verse_n their_o dead_a body_n shall_v lie_v in_o the_o street_n of_o the_o great_a city_n which_o spiritual_o be_v call_v sodom_n and_o egypt_n the_o heaven_n here_o can_v be_v understand_v literal_o but_o spiritual_o what_o then_o what_o be_v the_o heaven_n then_o and_o what_o be_v the_o shut_n of_o the_o heaven_n that_o it_o rain_v not_o the_o heaven_n be_v the_o high_a power_n so_o that_o look_v when_o the_o witness_n have_v power_n to_o restrain_v the_o high_a power_n in_o church_n and_o state_n from_o their_o wont_a influence_n then_o be_v this_o word_n fulfil_v that_o they_o have_v power_n to_o shut_v heaven_n that_o it_o rain_v not_o in_o the_o day_n of_o their_o prophecy_n i_o say_v the_o heaven_n be_v the_o high_a power_n look_v when_o the_o witness_n do_v restrain_v the_o high_a power_n in_o church_n and_o state_n from_o their_o wont_a influence_n then_o be_v this_o word_n fulfil_v second_o they_o have_v power_n also_o to_o turn_v water_n into_o blood_n what_o be_v that_o plain_o it_o must_v relate_v to_o moses_n who_o turn_v river_n and_o turn_v water_n into_o blood_n what_o be_v that_o it_o can_v be_v understand_v literal_o but_o spiritual_o still_o what_o be_v that_o then_o why_o thus_o these_o water_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v spiritual_o and_o so_o you_o read_v in_o revel_n 16._o the_o sea_n and_o river_n be_v turn_v into_o blood_n look_v therefore_o when_o the_o witness_n shall_v have_v power_n to_o turn_v the_o still_a water_n of_o a_o state_n or_o nation_n into_o war_n and_o blood_n then_o be_v this_o word_n fulfil_v but_o how_o come_v the_o witness_n to_o have_v power_n to_o do_v this_o it_o may_v be_v not_o legal_o for_o it_o be_v not_o say_v here_o and_o i_o will_v give_v power_n unto_o they_o to_o shut_v the_o heaven_n but_o these_o have_v power_n to_o shut_v the_o heaven_n and_o these_o have_v power_n to_o turn_v water_n into_o blood_n it_o be_v not_o say_v here_o i_o will_v give_v they_o power_n as_o it_o be_v say_v before_o it_o may_v be_v this_o may_v be_v do_v and_o not_o legal_o but_o when_o shall_v this_o be_v do_v it_o must_v be_v do_v immediate_o before_o their_o slay_v i_o pray_v mark_v the_o coherence_n here_o they_o shall_v have_v power_n to_o shut_v the_o heaven_n immediate_o before_o they_o be_v slay_v and_o to_o turn_v water_n into_o blood_n immediate_o before_o they_o be_v slay_v just_a before_o the_o three_o year_n and_o a_o half_a that_o they_o lie_v dead_a upon_o the_o earth_n for_o when_o do_v elijah_n shut_v the_o heaven_n but_o immediate_o before_o the_o three_o year_n and_o a_o half_a of_o drought_n when_o do_v moses_n turn_v the_o water_n into_o blood_n but_o immediate_o before_o the_o come_n out_o of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n out_o of_o egypt_n so_o here_o immediate_o before_o the_o witness_n be_v slay_v and_o they_o lie_v three_o year_n and_o a_o half_a as_o dead_a immediate_o before_o they_o have_v power_n to_o shut_v the_o heaven_n that_o it_o rain_v not_o and_o to_o turn_v water_n into_o blood_n now_o therefore_o to_o draw_v to_o a_o conclusion_n whensoever_o you_o see_v all_o these_o thing_n come_v to_o pass_v i_o will_v not_o apply_v they_o to_o time_n or_o place_n this_o or_o that_o time_n or_o place_n but_o when_o you_o shall_v see_v all_o these_o thing_n come_v to_o pass_v one_o tread_v upon_o the_o heel_n of_o another_o when_o you_o shall_v see_v that_o the_o witness_n have_v power_n to_o shut_v the_o heaven_n that_o it_o rain_v not_o to_o restrain_v the_o high_a power_n both_o in_o church_n and_o state_n from_o their_o wont_a influence_n and_o that_o they_o have_v power_n to_o turn_v water_n into_o blood_n and_o still_o nation_n into_o war_n and_o then_o immediate_o upon_o it_o they_o shall_v be_v slay_v and_o so_o lie_v dead_a deprive_v of_o their_o function_n and_o vital_a operation_n as_o if_o they_o lie_v dead_a then_o lift_v up_o your_o head_n and_o comfortable_o say_v hopeful_o say_v now_o now_o come_v the_o three_o year_n and_o half_a which_o be_v the_o last_o time_n now_o be_v our_o salvation_n near_o for_o god_n will_v bring_v
