more to the 1260. and yet They in all that Time could not Kill that is deprive Any of Supreme Power nor Themselves found any settled Illustrious Monarchy What more Admirable Resemblance of the Turkish Cavalry or Horsemen swelling with the Poyson of Mahomet in their ●eads and Tails than Four Angels viz Attendants upon the fore-nam d Abaddon Angel of the Bottomless Pit who were therefore Bound till the Just Time appointed by God and then prepar d to Kill the Third part of Men or to put an utter End to the Eastern Roman Monarchy call'd Third as before-noted and to seize upon Constantinople the Acropolis of it within about 396 Years after the Cessation of the Saracenic so vexatious Scorpions that yet could not Kill viz. at A.D. 1453. And yet by the Vertue of their Grant of an Hour or Season over to their Day Month and Year continue to this very Day and shall continue until the Seventh Trumpet Their coming from Euphrates at the Voice from the VVitnesses at the Golden Alter of Incense Their Numerous Armies of Horsemen their Vomiting Fire an Admirable Figure of their Great Guns then come into Use and of Prodigious Greatness prepar'd for the Taking Constantinople are sure Notes of them as also that they continue to this Day This hath yielded to the 1260 Days so many as to make up the whole Mahometan Time to this 1691 as hath been said 1069 years Lastly How Perspicuous a Veil of the Reformation about 64 years after the Taking of Constantinople is that Representation of Christ making a Seizure of his Kingdom Roaring as a Lyon holding the C. 10. all along Book of his Kingdom open in his Hand and then Seven Thunders uttering their Voices And yet it is shew'd after All that the Reformation would not Attain its Effect till Half Time fully Run out which would be a Time of Delay as we visibly see with our Eyes For neither is the Reformation perfect within it self nor hath it extended to the Vniversal Roman Empire and so to the Ends of the Earth Therefore were the Thunders seal'd and the Book clos'd in the Bowels of the Apocalyptick Prophet and Prophecy continued and so the Seventh Angel not sounding nor the Mystery finish'd This hath yielded since it began in Luther 1517 176 years of the last 180 of Half Time and so to the End 1697. Thus I have given a brief Landskip of the Prophetical Types which were it seasonable here might be drawn much more full and patticular and the so exact Adjustments of Times which might in the very same manner be given from the Resurrection Nay They might be derived down from Cyrus throughout the whole 2300 Eves Morns But I shall now endeavour the Additional Proof That these Types must needs be the Types to be adjusted to the Times I have all along given and am now properly upon Argum. 9 These must needs be the Types signified by our Lord Jesus Christ to his Servant John because there are no other Types to be found that can bear up the Course of Time from the Resurrection of Christ the Etoch of the Revelation from which All its Prophecies began and have all along been coming swiftly to pass to this Day and so to his Kingdom but only These So Great within the Remains of the Roman Empire in so Just an Order Series and continued Succession of Events and so perfectly agreeing with the Types of Prophecy This may be very plainly seen by the Attempt of the so Learned Dr. Hammond after Grotius who though he endeavour'd to his utmost and was as Able for it as any Man yet how little he could perform is very Apparent He was forc'd to pitch upon so many Events so very small to be found only in Corners of History Taking in but small Portions of the Time since the Revelation given very Confus'd backward and forward referring to Things before the Revelation it self given placing the Blessed State of the Thousand Years where Antichristian and Mahometan Tyranny have had their principal Scituation Whereas Those I rest upon are the Noblest Events in the clearest Parts of History and what any would most desire to know viz. the Western Roman Famous Empire becoming Ten Kingdoms under the Papacy the Mahometan Imposture the Saracens the Turks the long Oppression of the Waldenses or Vaudois the Eastern Empire and its City seiz'd by Mahomet Their Derivation from the Resurrection is Just and equal Supporting Time to this Day All within Daniel's Last viz. the Roman Monarchy as they ought to be makng Daniel's Prophecy and the Revelation-Prophecy one intire Piece setting the Blessed Thousand Years duly after the Antichristian Apostacy and the Mahometan Tyranny ended and not before it It is evident There are no Events so Great and Comprehensive to be found as to past Time as these the Reformation following close on them since the Empire became Christian and Paganism utterly suppress'd in it to which Time the Seven Seals of the Revelation lead by as Remarkable and Justly Dated Events if it were seasonable here to Give Them or not too Long. If we should think Greater Events may be yet to come which may better Answer these Types We must run unavoidably upon this Rock viz. the Supposition so Great a Prophecy hath neglected these so Great and of so Great Duration notwithstanding its Events were in Motion at the very Time it was Given or as it speaks in great Swiftness and Suddenness to come to pass Again These Events must be either very short but of Three Years and a Half according to the Letter of the 1260 Days And then this so Long Course of Time and Events must be pass'd over for very short ones which cannot be Great according to General Providence because so short or else they must be suppos'd to take up as much Time as These have done And then besides the Prophecies strange Silence of these which came immediately to pass from Time to Time since it was Given which are therefore its proper Subject as it self hath said The Last Times since Christ must be prodigiously also swell'd against all Reason and Affirmation of Scripture From all which it may be certainly concluded These very Events adjusted so to their Types are the very Types of this Prophecy of the Revelation Argum. 10 That the 42 Months with which 1260 Days of Years run parallel must be Months and Days of Years which are yet in Motion but near run out I Argue thus from Express Letter of Scripture and Matter of Fact compar'd First Our Lord Categorically Asserts Jerusalem shall be trodden under Foot of the Gentiles until the Times of the Gentiles shall be Fullfilled Luke 21. 24. Now that the Gentiles Times continued from the Destruction of Jerusalem by Titus until the Christian Empire of Constantine No One will deny Nor that when It Fell and hath been under the Hand of the Mahometans first the Saracens and then the Turks as It hath done far the grea●er
