A77950	A measure of the times: and a full & clear description of the signes of the times, and of the changing of the times; and of the reign of Antichrist, who hath long reigned, and of his down-fall, which is at hand; and of the kingdom of Christ which is now setting up in the earth. Shewing unto all people in all nations, what the state of things hath been in ages past, and what the state of things are at this present day. ... And also, here it is manifest, concerning the teachers of this age, and the root from whence they sprang, who are manifest to be of that stock of false prophets, which Christ prophesied of should come, and which the Apostles saw was coming in their dayes, and how that the night of darknesse hath been upon all, for many generations: ... And also, the restauration is described, which shortly cometh, wherein Christ shall reign, whose right it is, and shall change laws and decrees, and the lamb shall be the light of all nations, ... and their King shall possesse the uttermost parts of the earth. By one who hath measured the times, who is come to the day that hath made all things manifest. Edw: Burrough.

Christ said and led aside and blinded and bewitched by him And as I have said these teachers of this generation are of them of their Root and off-spring which long hath flourished on the face of the earth But the day is at hand that the heaven and the holy Apostles and Prophets shall rejoyce over the whore and over the false Prophet for the Lord comes to avenge us on her and as she hath done so shall it be done unto her now in this day wherein Jerusalem shall be builded againe and the holy City which the Gentiles have trod under foot for fourty and two monthes which time is expired and near a full end accounting from the dayes of the coming in of the Apostacy untill this day if any have an eare to heare let him heare this I have received from God I say the holy City shall be measured and the Gentiles cast out and she shall be adorned and as a bride for her husband shall she be prepared and Gods Tabernacle shall be with men and he will dwell with them and they sh●ll be his people and God himselfe will be their God and all teares shall be wiped away and there shall be no more death nor sorrow for the former things are passed away and all things shall be made new And what I have said are the faithfull sayings of God every one that is a thirst shall drink of the water of life freely and he that overcometh shall inherit all things and shall be called the Son of God and shall dwell in the holy City which long the Gentiles foot hath troden under which shall againe be adorned and prepared as a Bride for her husband if any hath an ear to heare let them heare And the glory of the Lord is risen and his day is breaking forth more abundantly and the Lambe is given for a light and all Nations that are saved shall walke in the Light of the Lambe and the King of righteousnesse who hath been long fled into Egypt while Herod the Beast which hath sought his life and driven the woman into the wildernesse hath reigned shall againe be set upon the holy hill of Sion and rule all Nations with a rod of Iron and trample upon the necks of all his enemies the Nations hath not for many ages been ruled by him But the Beast who hath ruled over kindreds and people and said who hath been able to make war against the Beast and to the power of the Beast hath all Nations been subject and the dominion of Christ hath been troden down and despised and his holy City hath been laid wast and his Princely power hath not been felt nor witnessed in the Kingdomes of men for ages and times nor him the one head and the one horne hath not been known but many heads and hornes hath been exalted and all Nations and all the Princes and Kingdomes of the earth hath been subject unto the Rule and Law of the Beast and to the divinations of the false Prophet and darknesse hath been over all and God hath been as a stranger in the earth as one not known he hath been worshiped ignorantly and the inscription every where hath been to the unknown God but now after all this the glorious God of truth hath appeared and great and mighty hath been his hand and power in this our day in raising up a righteous branch out of the Root of righteousnesse and in gathering his scattered people up to himselfe who have been scattered by the Idoll teachers and deceived by the false Prophets and made a prey upon by the wilde Beasts of the Forrest O how hath the people been made a prey upon by their teachers and greedily devoured by dumb shepherds who have sought themselves and sought for their gaine every one from his quarter for many ages how hath people been led blind by their blind shepheards and none to this day come to the knowledge of the truth by them for these have run and was not sent and therefore the people have not been profited at all as it was in Jeremiahs dayes so is it now no profit among people in the knowledge of the wayes of God but leanesse and barrennesse and as the teacher so his people all out of the way in prophanesse and wickednesse and prophanesse is gone forth from them into many Nations yet is the Lord bringing backe his inheritance which hath been driven away into the desolate wildernesse yea and the Lord hath caused his light to shine out of darknesse and unto them that have sit in darknesse and in the shaddow of death is the marvellous light risen that the glory of the Lord may be revealed and Gods Tabernacle may be with men and the holy City is a preparing as a bride for her husband and darknesse shall fly away and sorrow and sighing shall no more be known but life and immortality shall againe be brought to light as it was in the dayes of the Apostles This I have received from God and the Lord shall be known to be the God of his people and for this cause hath he called and chosen faithfull witnesses and given his powerfull ministry by the gift of the holy Ghost as it was in the Apostles dayes and now many are called to declare abroad the things which we have heard and seen and handled and the Gospel of Christ is received by the Revelation of Gods eternall Spirit and Son in our hearts and the power is made manifest and the forme of godlinesse is denied and judged and Christ the one head is exalting and the one horn of Gods salvation is revealing and the many heads and many hornes must be broken to pieces and be confounded in this the day of the Lord for his purpose is powerfull in carrying on his own work against all his enemies so that none is able to hinder But they that set themselves even the Beast and his power which is now struck at and his Kingdome is invaded hath raised the force of his power and the policie of his arme yet shall they be confounded and no formed weapon shall prosper against the Lord and his way who is now arisen to avenge himselfe of the Beast and his power and the whore and her fornications and the false Prophet and his divinations which all must into the wine-presse of Gods dreadfull wrath to be troden and all that worship the Beast and repents not shall partake of the plagues of the Beast and of the whore and though the false Prophet gather Gog and Magog together to fight against the Lamb and to compasse the beloved City about yet he shall and them that he gathers be broken to pieces and driven as dust before the wind and as stubble before the fire for the purpose of the Lord shall stand Great Babylon is come into remembrance before the Lord to reward her according to her deeds and the Lord will cause his truth and his salvation to be known in the earth
