of_o the_o lord_n of_o which_o the_o prophet_n speak_v in_o this_o context_n and_o the_o battle_n of_o the_o great_a day_n of_o god_n almighty_n rev._n 16.14_o mention_v also_o zec._n 14.2.3_o and_o elsewhere_o in_o scripture_n but_o of_o this_o i_o have_v write_v more_o full_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o great_a battle_n of_o gog_n and_o magog_n to_o which_o the_o reader_n be_v refer_v and_o this_o i_o conceive_v will_v be_v the_o pour_v out_o of_o the_o last_o vial_n when_o the_o great_a voice_n shall_v be_v hear_v out_o of_o the_o temple_n of_o heaven_n and_o from_o the_o throne_n say_v

take_v notice_n by_o this_o little_a scrip_n how_o much_o and_o how_o many_o great_a thing_n god_n have_v yet_o to_o do_v in_o the_o world_n how_o much_o of_o the_o prophetical_a part_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v yet_o unfulfilled_a how_o many_o great_a and_o glorious_a thing_n be_v yet_o unaccomplish_v which_o be_v to_o be_v do_v now_o in_o this_o last_o age_n of_o the_o world_n in_o the_o deliverance_n of_o his_o church_n &_o people_n out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o all_o their_o adversary_n power_n and_o the_o destruction_n of_o all_o the_o enemey_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o kingdom_n in_o bring_v about_o all_o his_o glorious_a design_n which_o he_o have_v purpose_v in_o himself_o and_o have_v promise_v the_o accomplishment_n of_o for_o his_o own_o glory_n and_o the_o advancement_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n in_o this_o worl_z when_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o this_o world_n shall_v be_v he_o and_o he_o shall_v reign_v and_o his_o name_n be_v great_a from_o the_o rise_n of_o the_o sun_n to_o the_o go_v down_o of_o the_o same_o a_o little_a and_o but_o a_o little_a thereof_o have_v be_v hint_v in_o this_o discourse_n i_o further_o propose_v that_o see_v these_o
