john_n say_v he_o stand_v upon_o the_o sand_n of_o the_o sea_n and_o see_v a_o beast_n rise_v up_o out_o of_o the_o sea_n have_v seven_o head_n and_o ten_o horn_n and_o upon_o his_o horn_n ten_o

by_o the_o revelation_n of_o faith_n as_o if_o he_o have_v stand_v upon_o the_o sand_n of_o the_o seashore_n for_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o spirit_n can_v stand_v upon_o the_o sand_n or_o upon_o

of_o the_o sea_n but_o as_o i_o say_v before_o in_o another_o case_n this_o beast_n with_o seven_o head_n and_o ten_o horn_n he_o do_v arise_v out_o of_o those_o island_n which_o do_v border_n about_o the_o sea_n or_o land_n that_o be_v environ_v about_o with_o the_o sea_n and_o other_o great_a river_n of_o water_n as_o some_o place_n of_o this_o earth_n be_v as_o that_o of_o jordan_n and_o other_o

those_o reason_n aforesaid_a this_o beast_n be_v say_v to_o have_v seven_o head_n and_o ten_o horn_n now_o it_o be_v say_v revel_n 12.2_o that_o the_o great_a red_a dragon_n have_v seven_o head_n

the_o beast_n that_o john_n see_v to_o arise_v out_o of_o the_o sea_n he_o have_v seven_o head_n and_o ten_o horn_n also_o the_o meaning_n be_v this_o the_o dragon_n seven_o head_n do_v signify_v

john_n say_v he_o see_v another_o sign_n great_a and_o marvellous_a it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v another_o sign_n because_o he_o speak_v in_o the_o chapter_n before_o much_o of_o that_o temporal_a

another_o sign_n in_o heaven_n great_a and_o marvellous_a it_o be_v great_a and_o marvellous_a indeed_o for_o he_o see_v the_o utter_a destruction_n and_o end_n of_o the_o world_n therefore_o call_v they_o the_o seven_o last_o plague_n before_o upon_o the_o other_o babylon_n but_o these_o seven_o plague_n be_v the_o last_o plague_n that_o be_v to_o be_v pour_v out_o upon_o the_o earth_n

wit_n the_o three_o record_n in_o earth_n water_n blood_n and_o spirit_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o commission_n of_o moses_n the_o commission_n of_o jesus_n and_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o

that_o the_o apostle_n know_v the_o path_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o path_n of_o the_o gospel_n also_o so_o that_o they_o have_v proof_n from_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n that_o they_o be_v

that_o be_v choose_v and_o send_v of_o god_n as_o moses_n and_o aaron_n peter_n and_o paul_n and_o we_o the_o witness_n of_o the_o spirit_n also_o none_o can_v interpret_v the_o scripture_n true_o but_o those_o that_o have_v the_o same_o spirit_n as_o those_o have_v that_o speak_v the_o scripture_n that_o spirit_n can_v trace_v the_o step_n of_o god_n almighty_n in_o those_o three_o path_n which_o god_n have_v walk_v in_o those_o three_o parth_n be_v god_n three_o commission_n or_o three_o record_n on_o earth_n to_o wit_n the_o water_n blood_n and_o spirit_n so_o that_o no_o

nor_o send_v of_o god_n they_o do_v not_o know_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o scripture_n so_o they_o not_o know_v the_o truth_n of_o they_o they_o add_v their_o own_o conceit_n and_o sense_n upon_o they_o and_o diminish_v and_o take_v away_o the_o true_a interpreter_n by_o persecution_n and_o will_v not_o suffer_v it_o to_o abide_v in_o the_o world_n lâ—st_v their_o own_o principle_n

book_n of_o the_o revelation_n of_o st._n john_n i_o think_v it_o something_o necessary_a to_o open_v these_o two_o verse_n because_o it_o have_v be_v a_o thing_n common_a in_o most_o people_n mouth_n when_o they_o have_v hear_v the_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n with_o many_o deep_a secret_n open_v and_o many_o heavenly_a mystery_n reveal_v which_o never_o be_v reveal_v before_o or_o that_o have_v not_o be_v common_o know_v among_o religious_a people_n they_o have_v seem_v hard_a say_n so_o that_o man_n have_v cry_v out_o o_o blasphemy_n or_o else_o say_v i_o have_v add_v to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o if_o the_o interpretation_n do_v differ_v from_o the_o common_a receive_v opinion_n or_o interpretation_n then_o they_o will_v say_v i_o take_v away_o from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n yet_o they_o know_v not_o what_o it_o be_v to_o add_v or_o to_o take_v away_o from_o it_o therefore_o i_o have_v open_v these_o two_o verse_n in_o the_o last_o chapter_n and_o the_o last_o
