of_o the_o seventeen_o chapter_n of_o this_o prophecy_n where_o the_o holy_a ghost_n tell_v we_o flat_o that_o those_o ten_o kingdom_n of_o europe_n which_o have_v a_o long_a time_n be_v the_o ten_o

begin_v to_o hate_v the_o whore_n and_o to_o make_v her_o desolate_a and_o naked_a so_o undoubted_o she_o shall_v continue_v unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n world_n world_n england_n &_o other_o
