The Followers of the Lamb are marked in their ⟨p. 100⟩Foreheads too, chap. 14. ver. 1. And I looked, and lo a Lamb stood on the Mount Zion, and with him 144000 having his Fathers Name written in their Foreheads. But now though the followers of the Lamb are thus marked with their Fathers Name written in their Foreheads, yet their mark doth not only consist in some thing that is positive, but in Refusing the mark of the Beast, Rev. 20.—why, but to show thus much, That they are witnesses upon this account, because they do bear witness unto Christ, the truth and ways of Christ, in opposition to the ways of Anti-Christ. Thus they are conformed unto Jesus Christ, who is the True and the Faithful witness, Rev. 3. write, These things saith the Amen, the true and Faithful witness. That is, Christ: Christ is the true and the faithful witness, and therefore those that are his, they must be witnesses too, that they may be conformed to him.
