much_o as_o one_o of_o they_o against_o the_o empire_n of_o the_o turk_n it_o be_v certain_a say_v he_o that_o the_o seven_o plague_n be_v entire_o intend_v against_o the_o empire_n of_o the_o beast_n 3_o that_o there_o be_v in_o all_o thirteen_o plague_n whereof_o the_o 6_o first_o have_v destroy_v the_o roman_a empire_n as_o civil_a and_o that_o these_o six_o plague_n fall_v under_o the_o five_o first_o trumpet_n &_o that_o the_o six_o trumpet_n which_o be_v subdivide_v into_o seven_o vial_n shall_v destroy_v the_o same_o empire_n as_o ecclesiastical_a and_o papal_a and_o that_o the_o vial_n have_v be_v pour_v out_o since_o the_o ten_o century_n that_o the_o seven_o be_v not_o yet_o whole_o pour_v forth_o but_o that_o it_o begin_v at_o the_o time_n of_o luther_n reformation_n where_o he_o
