It followeth in the same vers. (that thou mayest know also by that marke that this is the very same Beast shewed, Chap. 13.) And they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names are not written in the Booke of life from the foundati∣on of the world laid, beholding the Beast which was, and is not, and yet is to come.

But now of what forme the Beast had beene be∣fore, and in what shape he was to ascend out of the bottomlesse pit; that we shall know particularly by those things which the Angel by and by addeth.
