make her desolate to burn her Flesh with Fire even that Woman who sits the Beast and that then the words of God will be so far fulfilled that they shall and will do it by the Time appointed of which every Victory over the Mahometan Powers is a fresh Pledge seeing that must be done ere the Mahometane Empire pass away from being the Woe as under which the Grecian Empire continues to this day extinct Posit 21 There is a Great Judgment remains at the Kingdom of Christ to that Rest of Men who repented not at the killing the Eastern third part of Men Rev. c. 9.20 with c. 19.21 and all along to that Judgment viz. when the Beast and False Prophet whom they serv'd are cast into the Lake They shall be killed with the Sword of him that Rides in Triumph to his Kingdom Posit 22 By the Year 1697 These Great Things shall be in motion the Tenth of the Great City then falling the Mahometan Woe passing away and the True Christianity Rising into Glory And they are described as most near and close together Posit 23 If there can be any mistake in this foregoing Account or that God is pleas'd to shorten this fag-end of time as the Turkish Fall seems to be even on the Wing yet being fully assur'd All must come to pass together although I fear they cannot be sooner then that 1697 Yet I heartily say as the Prophet Jeremy in a like Case Jer. 28.6 Dan. 9.1 2 3. v. 19. with Isa 62.7 Amen The Lord hasten it But with much more Confidence according to the 1260 Days that will be Accomplished in the Desolations of the Witnesses and the Woman his Church at that Time I desire my self and humbly and earnestly desire all the Servants of God that we may set our selves by Prayer and Supplication with Fasting and Sackcloth and Ashes that he would then Do and defer not to make his Church a Praise in the Earth Amen A POSTSCRIPT to the READER SEeing the Consequence of this Table of Time arm'd with its agreeable Events which I here present is so visibly and sensibly Great in the Demonstration of True Christianity against the Atheist the Pagan the Mahometan the Deist the Jew and the Antichristian as also full of Assurance against the I may almost call it superstitions Abstemiousness and Dread of search into Sacred Prophecy under the shew of Humility Modesty and avoidance of Curiosity Col. 2.23 I do most solemnly appeal to every Reader whether it can be charged with any such Absurdity as should make it Inconsistent with it self or such as offers violence to Scripture to Reason or to undoubted History For if It cannot Then as it is most evident there is such a Book as Scripture so It is as evident I here present a Table of Time grounded upon express places of it emboss'd with the most notorious Occurrences that have been in the World with Relation to the Church of God in every Age the proper Ornament of a Scripture Line of Time as closely dispos'd and organiz'd into its several Joynts as the humane Body it self is and that cannot be so much as Dislocated without violence And I challenge all the World to draw such another lest it be suspected a Creature of Fancy If then there is such a Table and so unchargable There cannot be a more sensible-Rational proof of Divine Beeing than the declaring things to come Isa 41.22 23. and of the Divinity of Jesus Christ who Himself gave the greater part of the Prophetick Line and in whom and in whose Glorious Kingdom the whole Centers I do therefore most loudly again appeal to and beseech every Reader if they see Reason to charge these Positions or any of them with any such Inconsistency or violence as must convince them of Folly or Falshood that I may either vindicate or Retract them If not that there may be a due waiting for and Expectation of those Grand Events yet to Come which I do with a full Confidence declare at this very Time when the Turkish Ruine seems to outstrip the Antichristian But he that ballances all Times and their Events will hasten both in their due Time Isa 34.16 and seeing they are determin'd together neither of them shall want its Mate And because I have already published a larger Discourse upon some parts of this Line of Time and an Adjustment of Solomons most Prophetick Song of Songs to so much of this Line as runs from Davids Time to the Glorious Kingdom of Christ and am endeavouring to publish the Full Discussion of those parts of the Line not discuss'd in the former Treatise I humbly beg the favourable Assistance towards the publication of All who have Favour for the Work and its Vndertaking T Beverley

False Hell of Purgatory enforc'd by Anathemaes Excommunications Curses Darkning the Knowledge of Christ the Sun of Righteousness and the whole Ayr of the Christian Profession And yet had the Smoke not been armed afterwards with the Flames of Nebuchadnezzars Furnace of Persecution compelling to worship the Beast and his Image All had been but Smoke but such a Smoke as might well give Advantage to the False Prophetism the Locusts were poyson'd with to be receiv'd in the World It is most evident about the time of the Worship of Images being setled by general use and established Posit 8 by the second Council of Nice these Locusts of Saracens did more fiercely annoy the Antichristian Christian World viz. After the years 725 and 787. After or out of the Cessation of the Saracens grew up the Turkish or Othoman Power upon the Posit 10 World as a second Woe when the Saracens Locusts like by Five and Five Prophetical Months c. 9.12 13 c. and Five suppose of Intermission coming on and going off had lasted 435 years or from A.

The whole Tract of Mahometan Time from 622 to 1453 before the Reformation running paralel Psit 14 with the most entire Papal Domination shews it a Judgment level'd against that very Domination c. 9. v. 4. with v. 20 v. 21. and set up by God in scorn of that False Christianity to which it bears in so many things an opposite Resemblance one Arm'd False Prophet against another one unreasonable senseless Religion against another viz. Mahometanism against Antichristianism One full of the Worship Angels Saints Images the other in the Zeal of One God denying Jesus Christ.

Dan. 11. v. 43. with Rev. 16. v. 16 17. Posit 18 We have therefore greatest Reason to pray for and Congratulate the Turkish Falls both as of so Great an Abaddon and Apollyon and also as It is a Pawn and Pledge to us of the Fall of that Diametrical Enemy of the Kingdom of Christ the Antichrist and his Antichristian Church or City to such a Degree that the Kingdoms of the World shall be proclaimed to be the Kingdoms of the Lord and of his Christ.
