With a godlie admonition in the end, vpon the words of the Apostle, to redeeme the time, because the dayes are evill. By M. Robert Pont, an aged pastour in the Kirk of Scotland.

between_o our_o reckon_n of_o 44._o year_n but_o the_o matter_n &_o space_n be_v not_o great_a in_o substance_n for_o doubtless_o that_o antichristian_a kingdom_n as_o it_o have_v begin_v already_o
