Ver. 11. And after three dayes and an half the Spirit of life from God, entred into them: and they stood upon their feet, and great fear fell upon them which saw them.

Here follows after the killing the former witnesses, how to the comfort of his Church and disappointment of his ene∣mies, the Lord within a short while, as three dayes and a half, or to three years and a half, shall raise up others in their roome, not by a bodily resurrection of the same men, but of others of the same spirit, as the Baptist came in the power and spirit of Elias, Luk. 1.17. or as Elisha succeeding Elijah ha∣ving his spirit doubled on him. Who standing on their feet, that i, stoutly and constantly setting themselves against An∣tichrist, shall shake and ruine his Kingdome more then the former, (as Husse prophecied of Luther,) and shall greatly afright all Antichrists followers.
