A27617	A memorial of the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ near approaching declaring according to prophecy, and advising upon the state of princes and nations, and of these nations in particular, what our Israel ought to do, in order to it, most humbly, and yet with the authority of sacred prophecy, presented to the King, and to the Queen, and to the high court of Parliament, and to all the judges of the nation / by T.

especial_o when_o he_o have_v be_v and_o be_v still_o give_v such_o mighty_a demonstration_n of_o his_o presence_n with_o we_o and_o of_o his_o arm_n make_v bare_a in_o this_o very_a protestant_a cause_n it_o may_v be_v very_o dangerous_a to_o overvalue_v the_o arm_n of_o flesh_n in_o such_o a_o confederacy_n in_o this_o case_n we_o shall_v be_v as_o much_o ashamed_a as_o ezra_n of_o persian_a assistance_n see_v that_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o god_n be_v for_o good_a on_o all_o they_o that_o seek_v he_o and_o his_o wrath_n be_v against_o all_o they_o that_o forsake_v he_o at_o this_o time_n as_o to_o the_o great_a cause_n of_o protestancy_n for_o this_o god_n have_v now_o write_v in_o this_o nation_n with_o a_o sun_n beam_n 2._o the_o success_n that_o have_v hitherto_o attend_v this_o confederacy_n be_v not_o such_o as_o to_o give_v any_o hope_n god_n will_v manifest_v himself_o with_o it_o he_o have_v suffer_v all_o the_o motion_n of_o it_o to_o be_v clog_v and_o heavy_a to_o

that_o interest_n he_o be_v now_o pursue_v in_o the_o world_n and_o so_o particular_o in_o these_o nation_n 3._o we_o know_v the_o most_o native_a administration_n of_o government_n in_o the_o grand_a confederate_n be_v persecution_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o inquisition_n upon_o it_o what_o wonder_v then_o if_o such_o blend_v interest_n be_v un-successful_a and_o it_o be_v now_o the_o more_o considerable_a that_o the_o wheel_n of_o providence_n where_o thing_n be_v right_o set_v will_v be_v as_o we_o have_v see_v with_o a_o divine_a speed_n but_o i_o do_v free_o acknowledge_v there_o be_v two_o thing_n that_o seem_v to_o countersway_v and_o incline_v to_o the_o confederacy_n on_o the_o other_o side_n 1._o that_o as_o it_o have_v be_v say_v the_o state_n of_o the_o western_a christendom_n as_o it_o may_v be_v call_v but_o be_v indeed_o in_o the_o great_a part_n of_o it_o antichristendom_n be_v by_o prophecy_n determine_v into_o ten_o or_o a_o multiplicity_n of_o kingdom_n on_o this_o account_n any_o of_o the_o ten_o though_o if_o not_o revulse_v from_o the_o beast_n they_o be_v in_o prophetic_a language_n horn_n of_o the_o papacy_n may_v yet_o be_v use_v by_o god_n as_o heretofore_o to_o hold_v that_o multiplicity_n equal_a and_o firm_a and_o so_o may_v serve_v to_o reduce_v any_o one_o that_o will_v swell_v beyond_o its_o due_a situation_n and_o proportion_n of_o room_n on_o that_o head_n and_o this_o be_v indeed_o the_o high_a amount_v of_o what_o have_v be_v and_o very_o hardly_o have_v be_v do_v by_o the_o confederacy_n as_o yet_o god_n have_v suffer_v for_o great_a reason_n as_o will_v ere_o long_o appear_v so_o dangerous_a a_o extravasation_n of_o the_o french_a power_n even_o as_o if_o it_o be_v the_o beastian_n power_n and_o in_o its_o 666._o as_o some_o learned_a man_n have_v think_v among_o we_o but_o will_v soon_o so_o retrench_v it_o as_o to_o show_v that_o opinion_n to_o be_v mere_a mistake_n and_o i_o be_o assure_v especial_o by_o those_o i_o have_v just_o now_o declare_v 2._o how_o far_o the_o confederacy_n of_o protestant_n with_o papal_a power_n may_v be_v of_o use_n to_o incline_v they_o to_o the_o reformation_n god_n have_v make_v use_v of_o outward_a force_n not_o so_o much_o in_o incline_v prince_n to_o fall_v off_o from_o rome_n in_o the_o beginning_n reformation_n as_o of_o more_o evangelical_n method_n rational_a and_o free_a communication_n of_o truth_n providential_a and_o friendly_a obligation_n much_o more_o now_o but_o i_o fear_v the_o time_n of_o the_o great_a re-reformation_n though_o so_o near_o be_v not_o near_a enough_o at_o this_o time_n to_o hope_v yet_o for_o so_o bless_v a_o fruit_n of_o the_o confederacy_n nor_o do_v any_o thing_n appear_v like_o it_o adu._n 2._o i_o will_v most_o humble_o advise_v that_o there_o may_v be_v under_o so_o great_a a_o authority_n and_o influence_n a_o assembly_n of_o man_n learned_a and_o love_v the_o kingdom_n of_o our_o lard_n jesus_n christ_n who_o may_v discover_v so_o admirable_a a_o part_n hitherto_o it_o may_v be_v call_v a_o terra_fw-la incognita_fw-la of_o scripture_n even_o the_o stupendous_a

of_o nation_n be_v more_o concern_v therein_o then_o in_o form_v army_n and_o equip_v navys_n which_o be_v but_o subordinate_a to_o those_o completion_n and_o often_o not_o so_o much_o as_o that_o as_o we_o have_v see_v i_o be_o bold_a to_o say_v if_o i_o have_v as_o now_o god_n have_v vouchsafe_v i_o understand_v prophecy_n in_o the_o year_n 48_o 50_o and_o so_o onward_o in_o the_o very_a top_n of_o those_o power_n over_o the_o nation_n and_o keep_v close_o and_o steady_a to_o the_o guidance_n of_o it_o i_o shall_v certain_o have_v foresee_v the_o re-enstating_a the_o church_n of_o england_n that_o lie_v then_o in_o the_o dust_n and_o so_o of_o the_o royal_a family_n that_o shall_v do_v it_o and_o as_o according_a to_o prophecy_n even_o in_o the_o full_a tide_n of_o the_o imperial_a victory_n i_o declare_v the_o impossibility_n of_o the_o turk_n be_v dismount_v from_o the_o constantinoplitan_a heighth_n even_o so_o and_o much_o more_o might_n by_o such_o compare_v

assembly_n take_v with_o more_o sageness_n and_o honour_n under_o their_o care_n and_o patronage_n of_o more_o honour_n than_o ptolemy_n 70_o particular_o the_o state_n of_o the_o present_a government_n in_o the_o assurance_n of_o its_o stability_n rest_v on_o the_o resolution_n of_o one_o illustrious_a point_n of_o prophecy_n viz._n the_o slay_v of_o the_o witness_n whether_o it_o be_v past_a or_o not_o for_o if_o it_o be_v not_o see_v the_o true_a sense_n of_o it_o be_v a_o suppression_n of_o all_o protestant_a church_n for_o a_o time_n it_o be_v not_o i_o but_o the_o thing_n itself_o speak_v this_o revolution_n must_v of_o necessity_n revolve_v for_o as_o in_o rescue_n of_o these_o nation_n from_o the_o return_n of_o popery_n this_o revolution_n come_v even_o miraculous_o to_o pass_v much_o more_o by_o the_o fulfil_n of_o prophecy_n then_o by_o humane_a sagesse_n or_o power_n so_o if_o such_o a_o slay_v of_o the_o witness_n be_v you_o to_o be_v there_o will_v certain_o to_o serve_v providence_n therein_o be_v a_o return_n of_o romish_a power_n which_o must_v of_o necessity_n roll_n back_o this_o revolution_n but_o although_o the_o mention_n of_o the_o three_o day_n and_o a_o half_a as_o the_o most_o immediate_a precedent_n of_o their_o rise_n and_o its_o great_a concomitant_n seem_v to_o favour_n such_o a_o apprehension_n although_o the_o sense_n of_o many_o excellent_a person_n and_o very_a understanding_n in_o prophecy_n particular_o if_o true_o his_o that_o prophecy_n of_o a._n b._n usher_n incline_v that_o way_n and_o last_o although_o the_o usual_a manner_n of_o god_n introduce_v his_o great_a deliverance_n by_o very_o dark_a preface_n will_v much_o persuade_v it_o yet_o as_o i_o be_o most_o assure_a the_o main_a sense_n as_o i_o have_v already_o publish_v of_o the_o three_o day_n and_o a_o half_n intend_v a_o much_o long_a time_n even_o the_o whole_a deep_a time_n of_o the_o antichristian_a reign_n parallel_n to_o the_o lie_v of_o christ_n in_o the_o grave_a so_o there_o be_v great_a consideration_n that_o assure_v i_o there_o can_v be_v so_o much_o as_o a_o epitome_n or_o compendious_a slay_v of_o the_o witness_n or_o so_o dark_a a_o state_n upon_o protestancy_n yet_o to_o come_v 1._o because_o the_o time_n of_o the_o witness_n full_a and_o total_a rise_v be_v so_o near_o that_o there_o can_v possible_o be_v time_n for_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o instrument_n of_o their_o suppression_n or_o slay_v of_o their_o lie_v dead_a and_o then_o for_o their_o rise_n 2._o because_o there_o be_v a_o state_n of_o
