in_o those_o battle_n which_o be_v to_o ensue_v in_o the_o behalf_n of_o his_o son_n kingdom_n against_o his_o profess_a enemy_n antichrist_n if_o we_o will_v have_v be_v so_o gracious_a as_o once_o

every_o true_a israelite_n therewith_o i_o mean_v that_o man_n of_o rome_n who_o by_o his_o cananitishe_a office_n and_o canon_n of_o his_o law_n stand_v still_o in_o their_o strengthe_n bear_v the_o

go_v forward_o to_o more_o battle_n and_o therein_o see_v y_o e_o great_a salvation_n of_o god_n fight_n for_o they_o when_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n stand_v still_o in_o heaven_n 13_o and_o haste_v not_o to_o go_v down_o for_o a_o season_n but_o we_o have_v do_v more_o like_o the_o amalekite_n which_o invade_v zicklag_n which_o do_v eat_v drink_n and_o dance_v many_o day_n 30.16_o because_o of_o the_o great_a spoil_n they_o have_v take_v until_o sudden_a slaughter_n &_o vengeance_n come_v upon_o they_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o their_o mirth_n so_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n that_o we_o do_v not_o so_o long_o eat_v and_o drink_v of_o the_o spoil_n and_o dance_v in_o security_n until_o that_o david_n christ_n jesus_n come_v at_o unaware_o and_o take_v away_o all_o and_o our_o life_n therewith_o also_o in_o most_o just_a judgement_n we_o also_o have_v do_v as_o that_o other_o generation_n of_o the_o jew_n which_o arise_v up_o after_o josua_n which_o regard_v their_o own_o ease_n
