Rev. 13. 9, 10. If any man have an eare let him heare. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: Hee that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword, here is the patience and the faith of the Saints.
IF any man have an ear, let him hear: What should he hear? For when he doth often use this phrase in the second and third Chapter, he tells you what they shall hear: Hear what the Spirit saith unto the Churches.
