A75736	The work of the age: or, the sealed prophecies of Daniel opened and applied. VVherein is plainly proved that all the governments in the world, except the government of Christ, are but images, or parts of Nebuchadnezzars image, and shall be suddenly broken in pieces by the little stone cut out of the mountain without hand: together with the means how Christ will effect all this. Shewing also that image-government, and image-worship have always been companions. Explaining likewise Daniels mystical numbers, and discovering some misprisions about the little horn, both in the translation and application of the same. Amending sundry places in our common translation, and clearing some chronological points from the common errours. / By William Aspinwall.

now_o that_o i_o may_v express_v myself_o brief_o yet_o plain_o as_o i_o can_v to_o the_o mean_a capacity_n let_v i_o propose_v these_o few_o question_n with_o their_o answer_n quest_n 1._o what_o be_v the_o seal_n whereby_o god_n be_v wont_a to_o seal_v that_o be_v to_o ratify_v and_o yet_o to_o conceal_v his_o holy_a counsel_n q._n 2._o what_o be_v the_o ingraving_n of_o this_o seal_n q._n 3._o whar_n be_v the_o effigy_n or_o impression_n make_v by_o this_o seal_n q._n 4._o what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o book_n or_o write_v seal_v q._n 5._o how_o or_o after_o what_o manner_n do_v god_n seal_v this_o book_n q._n 6._o how_o do_v christ_n open_v the_o seal_n answ_n 1_o to_o the_o first_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n be_v the_o seal_n for_o so_o he_o be_v call_v ephes_n 1._o 3._o and_o god_n use_v no_o seal_n but_o this_o answ_n 2_o to_o the_o second_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o ingraving_n of_o this_o seal_n as_o i_o may_v speak_v be_v the_o secret_a counsel_n of_o god_n which_o be_v know_v only_o to_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o by_o he_o reveal_v to_o we_o as_o it_o be_v write_v 1_o cor._n 2._o 10_o 11._o but_o god_n have_v reveal_v they_o to_o we_o by_o his_o spirit_n for_o the_o spirit_n search_v all_o thing_n yea_o the_o deep_a thing_n of_o god_n for_o what_o man_n know_v the_o thing_n of_o a_o man_n save_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n which_o be_v in_o he_o even_o so_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n know_v no_o man_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n answ_n 3_o to_o the_o three_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o holy_a council_n of_o god_n reveal_v therein_o be_v the_o effigy_n or_o impression_n make_v by_o this_o seal_n for_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n speak_v as_o they_o be_v act_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n 2_o pet._n 1._o 21._o answ_n 4_o to_o the_o four_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o book_n seal_v be_v the_o book_n of_o providence_n wherein_o be_v portray_v as_o i_o may_v say_v in_o a_o most_o lively_a manner_n the_o person_n and_o thing_n with_o such_o distinguish_a character_n and_o mark_n as_o do_v exact_o answer_v the_o mind_n and_o counsel_n of_o god_n reveal_v in_o his_o word_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o open_n of_o the_o seal_n rev._n 6._o answ_n 5._o to_o the_o five_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n seal_v the_o writing_n by_o express_v himself_o under_o such_o dark_a representation_n hierogliphic_n and_o metaphor_n as_o it_o pass_v all_o humane_a and_o angelical_a capacity_n to_o make_v a_o perfect_a and_o particular_a application_n thereof_o until_o christ_n jesus_n the_o lion_n of_o the_o tribe_n of_o judah_n who_o only_o be_v worthy_a to_o open_v the_o book_n and_o unloose_v the_o seal_n rev._n 5._o 5._o 12_o do_v in_o a_o way_n of_o providence_n first_o break_v open_a the_o seal_n and_o then_o we_o may_v be_v capable_a to_o discern_v the_o perfect_a harmony_n that_o be_v betwixt_o the_o prophecy_n and_o the_o person_n there_o describe_v and_o not_o till_o then_o answ_n 6_o to_o the_o last_o i_o answer_v that_o christ_n open_v the_o seal_n by_o produce_v the_o person_n intend_v to_o act_n in_o a_o providentiall_a way_n according_a to_o the_o eternal_a counsel_n of_o his_o father_n reveal_v in_o his_o word_n which_o be_v call_v the_o decrees-bringing-forth_a zeph._n 2._o 2_o and_o i_o may_v not_o unfit_o call_v it_o a_o providentiall_a description_n or_o exemplification_n of_o his_o father_n counsel_n thus_o christ_n break_v open_v the_o seal_n and_o then_o if_o we_o have_v spiritual_a eye_n we_o may_v discern_v each_o lineament_n or_o ingrave_a of_o the_o seal_n imprint_v as_o it_o be_v upon_o wax_n or_o clay_n answer_v line_n to_o line_n exact_o until_o which_o be_v do_v yea_o till_o christ_n begin_v to_o draw_v out_o the_o last_o line_n or_o character_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o make_v particular_a application_n of_o such_o seal_a prophecy_n wherefore_o i_o dare_v not_o attempt_v to_o make_v particular_a application_n of_o that_o little_a horn_n in_o the_o seven_o of_o daniel_n unto_o charles_n stuart_n the_o late_a king_n t●ll_a christ_n have_v first_o begin_v to_o draw_v out_o the_o last_o line_n or_o character_n in_o a_o way_n of_o providence_n thus_o i_o have_v give_v you_o the_o sum_n of_o my_o thought_n touch_v seal_v prophecy_n as_o brief_o and_o as_o plain_o as_o i_o can_v let_v i_o only_o add_v this_o word_n of_o caution_n more_o that_o key_n be_v never_o ordain_v to_o

open_a seal_n wherefore_o since_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n see_v it_o not_o good_a to_o set_v look_v upon_o prophecy_n but_o seal_n and_o since_o none_o have_v prevail_v nor_o be_v judge_v worthy_a to_o open_v these_o seal_a book_n but_o the_o lamb_n let_v we_o wa●t_v with_o faith_n and_o patience_n till_o christ_n open_v the_o book_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v see_v he_o delineate_v the_o person_n and_o thing_n intend_v in_o the_o act_n of_o his_o providence_n and_o so_o do_v we_o shall_v neither_o be_v deceive_v ourselves_o nor_o mislead_v other_o for_o which_o end_n it_o be_v that_o
