VIII IN the third yeare of BELSHAZZER a Vision appeared vnto DANIEL alone even to himselfe and hee heard a mans voyce that called saying GABRIEL make the man vnderstand the Vision so he came neere vnto him and said O Sonne of man the time of this Vision extends to the end of all things behold therefore I will make thee know what shall come to passe euen to the last day the great day of Wrath and Indignation for at the time appointed the end shall be MEDES AND PERSIANS THE ROVGHE GOATE SEND MEE SPANIARDS THE GOTHE ROAGVE The first matter giuen him to vanderstand is the breaking in peeces of the Roman Empire which spiritually is called Sodome and Egipt where also the members of our Lords Body are Crucified signified by the Ram the Hee Goate is the Turke The Roman Emperours the Two hornes in the East and West are also signified by the Kings of Media and Persia The foure Kingdomes standing vp out of that Nation are the Isles of Great Britaine France Spaine and Turky Lastly the Goate himselfe shall be hunted by a King of a fierce Countenance not regarding the person of the old nor shewing fauour to the young casting downe some of the hoast of PHAROAH and of the Starres to the ground For the transgression against the daily Sacrifice was the Hoast given over A King vnderstanding darke sentences which are some part of the holy Scriptures through policie and supposed wisdome he shall cause the craft of the Divell to prosper for by Peace and affected pittie and satisfying the ambitious mindes of some Christians he shall not only draw them to denie the faith but many others following their example Not by his owne power but by the Divells policie he shall be mighty whose looke is more stout then his fellowes But by the great day of the Lord he shall be broken without hand Now in those dayes when the Goate was come close vnto the Ramme and had cast him downe and stamped vpon him The Prophet that beheld as by a perspectiue these remote things heard also one Saint speaking and an other Saint said vnto that certaine Saint that spoke how long is the time for this Vision to the end of the world that the holy Citie of God and his chosen People be no longer trodden vnder foote And hee said vnto mee vnto Two Thousand Three hundred dayes Then shall the Sanctuarie bee cleansed and the holy People Iustified The dayes bee so many yeares to the end of the world beginning at the Vision which was about the yeare of the world 342.5 Of the certaine Saints speaking or the nomber of wonderfull secrets I omit to speake that to the most part might appeare being in this Land and these late dayes but some tale of a Phenix though to bee testified of more then fiue hundred men and women besides my selfe DANIEL CHAP. IX AFter these Visions in the first yeare of DARIVS the Son of AHASHVERVS the Prophet vnderstood by Bookes and Computations the nomber of yeares whereof the world of the Lord came to IEREMIAH the Prophet concerning the desolation of Ierusalem that seventie yeares should be accomplished And whilst hee was speaking in Prayer and presenting his supplication before the Lord for the holy Mountaine the People of God euen for the holy Citie the Church that to the end of the world must be trodden vnder foote whereof that ruinons place the Citie of Ierusalem is a figure trodden downe at this day Yet was this Hebron built seaven yeares before Zoan in Egipt The man GABRIEL which was caused to flie swiftly touched him and said alluding to the former matter of his studie and meditations as of troublous appetites and Cogitations somtimes Dreames are deriued O DANIEL I am come vnto thee againe to giue thee more skill and vnderstanding Seuentie weekes are determined vpon the holy Citie signifying the time not onely when the Sonne of God by his suffering should make reconciliation for sinne but a time and times and part of time three dayes and a halfe halfe the mysticall Weeke to make an end of Sinnes to finish transgression and to make a new Heaven and a new Earth wherein dwelleth everlasting righteousnesse to seale vp the Visions and Prophecies with the Seale of assurance that all these things are past and true and to annoint the most holy King and Kings and Lord and Lords the first and the last And here againe the Angell GABRIEL willeth him to know and vnderstand the things of which he shall informe him The first is this that from the going forth of the Commandement which is the beginning

Now that the whole world might take notice and discerne when this Sealed Prophesie shall be opened the time is more then once repeated even at the time is more then once repeated even at the time of the end when the King of the South shall push at the King of the North and the King of the North shall come against him like a Whirle-winde for till then though many shall run too and fro by the Art of Navigation discovering an other Hemisphere Sayling by the Compasse and the Needle found out by expert men and knowledge increased furnishing Magnificent Libraries with printed Bookes By which two Arts chiefly the Gospell shall bee published to all Nations yet the Character of this Booke shall not bee read till the time of the end which time is easie to be knowne even without the Notice of the yeares closed vp in this Booke where Eagles are gathered together you suppose some Carcasse to be there The Fig-tree when her Branch is yet tender and putteth forth her leaues ye know that Summer is neere Ierusalem when it was compassed with Armies the Desolation was nigh In like manner when yee see these things come to passe fore-told you know the end is nie even at the dore But of the day and houre knoweth no man no not the Angells that are in Heaven neither the Sonne but the Father the accompt in this Booke of note being by Centuries of yeares Then I DANIEL looked and behold there stood other Two the two Oliue Trees the Tree of Life either of them bearing Twelue manner of Fruites the Two Witnesses into whom after Three dayes and a halfe the Spirit of Life from God entred and they stood vpon their feet The one on this side of the banke of the River and the other on that side of the bank of the River The foūdations of the wall of the City Iesus Christ himself being the chiefe corner stone And one said to the man clothed in Linnen that was vpon the waters of the Rivers that cryed with a loude voyce as when a Lyon Roareth Lord wilt thou at this time restore againe the Kingdome of Israell how long shall it be to the end of these wonders or tell vs when these things shall bee and what shall bee the signe of thy comming and of the end of the world And he held vp his right hand and his left hand to Heaven shewing his Resurrection and Ascention and sware by him that Liveth for ever and ever Heaven and Earth shall passe away but my Word shall not passe neither this froward generation this Nation till all these things bee done spoken of by my Mouth and the Prophets there be some standing here which shall not taste of Death till they see the Sonne of Man comming in his Kingdome his servants will fight for him So shall even all my words be fulfilled It is not for you to know the times and seasons which the Father hath put in his owne power But goe thou thy way and rest and stand in the Lot Seale vp those things which the Seven thunders vttered and write them not it shall be for a time and times and halfe then all these things shall be finished as a Henne gathereth her Chickens or as a scattered Army in that day the Holy People shall be gathered together in the meane time many shall bee purified and made white by the fiery Tryall The wicked shall doe wickedly and shall not vnderstand but the wise it is given vnto them to vnderstand the misteries of the Kingdome of Heaven And from the time that the daily Sacrifice shall bee taken away or the yearely Passeover by the destruction of Ierusalem to place the Abomination that maketh desolate there shall be a Thousand Two hundred and Ninetie dayes Heere is the Measure of the Temple and the Altar and them that worship therein And here is also the breach of the first Commandements spoken of by our Lord the abomination that maketh desolate not only the Sanctuary but the Citie the first ripe Apples that hang so high against the Sunne The Divell thought if hee could reach these the rest were his owne therefore to plucke them downe in the primitiue times he began to reare his Ladder in the holy Places to set vp his plurality adding the Images of living Mortall men to be worshipped with Divine honour and vaine supplications as if themselues were present making no doubt hauing no egresse and regresse in time to bring his owne amongst them into the nomber in which expectation hee fayled not much for who is this here that sits in the Temple of God as if there were Two Gods besides his PIGMALION-like Image the parts of which are seldome colde if there bee heate in the Kisses of such holy People The swiftnesse of time is such I cannot gather all the Spices and dropping Myrrhe of this Tree I can fixe no longer speaking what manner God will sit alone in his holy Temple abhorring not only the people but the place where a Coleague is joyned with him in office therefore of the next branch Suppose a man after his Marriage to a young Virgin should say my experience is more then yours I cannot alwayes walke hand in hand with you neither may I keepe you in a Cloister that will not be for your health or my profit neither must you forget your Covenant to bee subiect to my desires not tending to the harme of either of vs I loue you as mine owne Body if I should not loue you I should not loue my selfe you are tender and faire without blemish or blot so I would haue your minde also without spot or wrinckle like your face many strangers will striue to bee your Servants not all for your beautie but some for malice and enuie to me Though your intent be good in all things yet because I am very jealous of mine honor entertaine none in that manner though they be silent for a time and conceale themselues in the end they will draw your affection from me Besides much resort though shee be never so chaste is dalliance the marke of a knowne Harlot which sort of women I would haue you differ from and no marke I know more fit to put a difference betweene you then this For much entertainment will not only waste our substance better imployed vpon more necessary occasions but consume time in vnprofitable idlenesse Is there no consequent yes doubtlesse I am the Lord thy God thou shalt haue no other Gods but me thou shalt not make Images of any likenesse to bowe or humble thy selfe before them for of my honor I am a jealous God you are mine I bought you to enioy the libertie of my service I brought yee out of the house of bondage which no other God could doe thou shalt
