ask_v when_o this_o number_n do_v begin_v i_o say_v even_o then_o when_o rome_n decline_v first_o from_o her_o height_n of_o pride_n which_o be_v when_o jesus_n christ_n be_v crucify_v for_o at_o that_o time_n her_o glory_n do_v abate_v this_o number_n therefore_o you_o must_v calculate_v from_o or_o about_o the_o know_a time_n of_o christ_n passion_n not_o from_o the_o first_o day_n of_o his_o incarnation_n a_o silence_n as_o it_o be_v seem_v to_o have_v be_v in_o heaven_n during_o the_o interval_n between_o his_o death_n and_o his_o ascension_n as_o if_o cause_v by_o see_v that_o do_v which_o have_v much_o amaze_v the_o whole_a creation_n when_o that_o they_o do_v see_v the_o lord_n of_o life_n hang_v dead_a upon_o a_o tree_n the_o devil_n probable_o at_o that_o time_n too_o be_v at_o a_o stand_n and_o know_v not_o what_o to_o do_v but_o soon_o perceive_v that_o the_o snare_n he_o wrought_v be_v break_v to_o make_v another_o straight_o he_o seek_v which_o to_o prevent_v a_o angel_n in_o a_o chain_n his_o other_o power_n he_o suffer_a to_o retain_v do_v for_o a_o thousand_o year_n restrain_v the_o devil_n from_o set_v up_o that_o mystery_n of_o evil_a which_o in_o paul_n time_n he_o be_v at_o work_n upon_o but_o when_o those_o thousand_o year_n be_v full_o go_v he_o raise_v it_o up_o and_o god_n permit_v he_o to_o manage_v his_o own_o engine_n for_o a_o time_n that_o truth_n and_o error_n may_v here_o for_o a_o space_n make_v trial_n of_o their_o strength_n and_o that_o each_o grace_n and_o virtue_n of_o the_o saint_n by_o exercise_n improve_v may_v be_v to_o fit_v they_o for_o the_o prize_n prepare_v for_o those_o who_o shall_v engage_v with_o christ_n and_o overcome_v the_o dragon_n and_o the_o beast_n a_o thousand_o year_n sharp_a trial_n they_o withstand_v yet_o than_o they_o struggle_v but_o with_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o for_o the_o most_o part_n all_o their_o combat_n then_o be_v like_o saint_n paul_n at_o ephesus_n with_o man_n resemble_v beast_n but_o since_o iniquity_n be_v set_v up_o veil_v with_o a_o mystery_n as_o in_o these_o latter_a time_n with_o great_a evil_n the_o saint_n do_v grasp_v for_o they_o contend_v with_o devil_n in_o shape_n of_o man_n in_o temporal_a confusion_n make_v terrible_a by_o spiritual_a delusion_n and_o therefore_o god_n allot_v unto_o he_o who_o tyrannize_v now_o a_o short_a time_n and_o to_o a_o certain_a day_n his_o reign_n do_v fix_v which_o end_v at_o six_o hundred_o sixty_o six_o and_o he_o who_o know_v on_o what_o day_n it_o begin_v may_v know_v the_o day_n on_o which_o it_o will_v be_v do_v which_o i_o believe_v will_v visible_o appear_v in_o or_o about_o the_o sev'nteenth_fw-mi hundred_o year_n and_o thus_o much_o only_o therefore_o to_o foreknow_v with_o how_o nigh_o
