furlongs adde vnto this 1600 this 70 so is the end of the Gentils calling finished anno Christi 1670. Gogs Magogs or the Turks Kingdome began anno Christi 335 and indureth 1335 yeares ANno Christi 335 is that evill and damnable heretique Arrius who for his hereticall learning was excommunicate by a generall assemblie yet to Synodo and Ierusalem was accepted and made free againe with his doctrine which Arianish doctrine was the first beginning vnto the Gogs and Mahumets absurdities which were accepted and believed in the ruined citie of Ierusalem and especially heerefra anno Christi 335 began the Goges 1335 yeares and endeth anno Christi 1670 Daniel 12. verse 11.12 and heere is the beginning on that two tymes and an halfe tyme Daniel 12. verse 7. Anno Christi 366 Damasius and Vrsatius had great contention and diversitie about the seate of the Pope heerefra began the tyme of the two witnesses clothed in Sackcloth who should prophecie 1260 dayes Revel 11 3. THE POPES BEGINNING ANno Christi 410 Rome is taken and burnt by Alaricus King of the Gothes never was the Citie of Rome vanquished any tyme before neither given over vnto any stranger and out landish since the beginning of the fourth Monarchy at that time Sozimus was Pope who ardently stood after the Occumenick style that is that hee might be called the common and head Bishop aboue the whole clergie everie where els through the whole world This Sozimus gaue such a law that no doings in the Kirke should stand in full power without it was approved and consented by the Bishop of Rome after as it was prophecied that the sonne of perdition should then begin his governament when the Romane Kingdome began to bow for certainly that overthrow of the Romanes which was done by Alaricus hath beene a beginning hithertill Therefore that the Papistes time which is 1260 yeares or the 42 months everie month reckoned to 30 dayes and everie day for a yeare hath heere his beginning of this 410 yeares of Christ which 410 yeares added to 1260 the summe is 1670. when the Popedome with all things will only take an end Anno Christi 452. The Hunners King Attila is come in Italie who spoyled and destroyed many Cities and townes from this 452 yeares falleth in the Gogs secreete dayes whereof Ezek 38.14 Anno Christi 520 Anastasius Emperour began to banish and roote out all heriticques with all their hereticall doctrine wherevnto the Romane Pope helped with all his vttermost power which attained vnto a prosperous successe whereby Sathan the father of lyes and all heriticall doctrine was bound from this 520 yeares a thousand yeares In the which the Dragon that olde serpent which is the Deuill and Sathan is said to bee bound by the Angel with a great chayne whereof Apoc. 20.2 Anno Christi 597 is Gregorius Magnus made Pope who would not let style him with the Oecumenick tytle over the East land yet neverthelesse shewed his ambition avaritiousnesse in this he subdued vnder him the Kirks of Spaine and Britaine to his jurisdiction In this yeare Mahumet was 26 yeares old and then doubtlesse gaue him selfe to reaving and murther Therefore beginneth the houre day moneth and yeare whereof Apoc. 9.15 Anno Christi 636 Heereto indureth the time of the Gogs Now after followeth his tyme Daniel 12.7 and then is Ierusalem come vnder the Saracines power right in the 300 yeares after the clergie consented vnto that most absurd learning of Arrius Anno Christi 1450 beginneth the new Testaments joyfull yeares and about that time is Constantinople with the whole East-landish Kingdome and Emperordome subdued by the Turkes and becommeth the Gogiers stall and stinking denne Heere beginneth the 7 angelicall months which the Scripture giveth vnto Gogs sprituall burials Ezek 39.11 Anno Christi 1522. Heereto endureth the set tymes now after followeth the halfe time Dan. 12.7 This same yeare Doctor Martin Luther went to Wormes and answered his cause before the Emperour In the meane tyme Carolostadius made vprore and stormed to Wittenbergh and the locusts came vp of the which Apocal 9. verse 3.4.5 Anno Christi 1625. heere endeth the 1290 yeares whereof Daniel speaketh in his 12 chap. verse 11. and the 45 yeares beginneth heere Right so endeth the same yeare the yeare of the two witnesses which when they are ended then shall the Pope in-arme himselfe with his greatest power and that shall bee his greatest tyranny which shall stand three yeares and an halfe Apocal. 11.9 vntill anno Christi 1629 in the which yeare the spirituall tyme beginneth which shall continue 41 yeares and an halfe Anno Christi 1663 the 7 moneths haue their end Anno Christi 1664 the last 7 yeares begin of the which Ezek. 39.9.12.14 But anno Christi 1670 then haue all the yeares which the Prophets haue spoken of their only end both the Heathen Gogs and Popes as afterwards the Author himselfe cleareth yet his protestation excepted that he will not preceeslie determine such things but referreth tyme and houre into the Fathers owne hands A short interpretation and clearing of the register of the new Testament THE whole age of the New Testament according to the meaning of the Prophets are divided in 4 times The first is the calling time of the Iewes The second is the Gentiles 1600 furlongs The third is Gogs Mahumets or Turkes tyme. The fourth is the Popes tyme. The first Namely the called time of the Iewes VVEE read in the booke of the Revelation 14. v. 15 is cryed and said THE TIME IS COME TO REAPE Now is a time or an houre the foure and twentieth part of a whole day night and day reckoned to 24 houres An Heavenly day conteineth a thousand yeares as it is written 2 Pet. 3. v. 8. a thousand yeares as a day divide this 1000 with 24 so commeth there about 41 yeeres and an halfe Remarke now the groundlesse mercie of the Almightie GOD how he did visite and call his people the Iewes of the seede of Abraham and offered them his grace by Iohn the Baptist who began his calling with the preaching of repentance and Baptisme in the 29 yeare or thereby after the birth of Iesus Christ of the Virgin Marie which mercifull calling of the Iewes Christ with his Disciples continued after the beheading of Iohn the Baptist vnto one or two and fourtie yeares and did begin in Ierusalem and gaue them time eneugh of repentance in the space of this 41 yeares but when they remained in their hardnesse and condemned Gods Sonne the blessed seede which particularlie and especially was promised them in Abraham and so wittingly proceded in their sinne against the holy Ghost Then GOD tooke his scourge in hand Titus Vespasian and therewith strooke them so hard in the end of this 41 yeares or 41 and an halfe yeares after the beginning of Iohns preaching which was Anno Christi 29. so that Ierusalem their head Citie is destroyed and their whole polices

vndergone and never shall come vp againe Lay now together 29 with 41 so commeth thereof 70. Namely in the same yeare after the birth of CHRIST in the which yeare Titus destroyed Ierusalem and the policies of the Iewes and this is the time of the Iewes calling Apocal. 14.15 The other tyme of the New Testament namely the Gentils which should indure 1600 yeares SACRA AFter as the Iewes GODS owne people had contemned his Fatherly offerings of grace in his Sonne IESUS CHRIST and would not accept of grace yet GOD would haue his glorious Kingdome after this lyfe replenished and therefore by his Word Sacraments and powerfull presence of his Spirit ordaineth heere in the world a Kingdome of grace for poore Gentils that were not of Abrahams blessed seede as the Iewes which Kingdome of grace should reach it selfe out 1600 furlongs as it is written Apocal. 14 19.20 with which furlongs are vnderstood yeares as heereafter shall bee spoken of This 1600 furlongs stadia or yeares which remaineth now againe for the Heathens to repent and thereby to be in gathered in the Kingdome of grace that they thereafter should inherite his Kingdome of glory and there see him as he is In this 1600 yeares the third Angell rypeth the vyneyard as Iohn sayeth and casteth it in the great wine-presse of GODS wrath and the wine-presse was troden without the citie and blood came out of the winepresse vnto the horse brydels by the space of 1600 furlongs Revel 14.19.20 The three Angels with the Sonne of man that sate on the white clowd is GOD Father Sonne and holy Ghost Revel 14.14 GODS Sonne is called the Sonne of man for the humane nature hee hath taken vnto the vnion and vnseparabilitie of his person the heavenly Temple verse 15. the Heavenly Altar verse 18 the white clowd v. 14. signifieth all one namely the same man IESUS CHRIST In whom dwelleth the fulnesse of the Godhead bodily Coloss 2.9 The wyne grapes in the 18 verse that are cast in the presse of the wrath of GOD are the Iewes who were so pressed by Titus Vespasian that there were slaine eleven hundreth thousand Iewes as Iosephus writeth lib. 7. These who were pressed without the citie verse 20 and without the townes communitie who were Burgesses and indwellers Christ advertising them they listned and gaue eare to his advertisement who departed in safetie vnto Pella in the meane tyme the other wyne grapes were pressed by the armie of Titus The blood that ranne from the presse betokneth that the wrath of GODS vengeance should reach without Ierusalem and streatch it self vnto such contemners of GOD and hardned sinners and that vnto 1600 furlongs that is 1600 yeares The horse vnto whose brydles the blood ran betokeneth the furious and vntamed Heathen and tyrants that set them-selves vp against CHRISTS Kirk Psal 2. Which tyrants are like Horse Mules in whom are no knowledge of salvation Psal 32.9 who should bee cast in the great presse of the wrath of GOD vntill so long they let tame them by the brydle of the Evangel and let them bee teached and showne by the servants of the Word to serue the LORD and kisse the Sonne Psal 2.10.11.12 With 1600 Stadia or furlongs is not vnderstood the length of place but of tyme wherevnto is given three causes First CHRIST saith Luke 21.24 That Ierusalem shall bee troden vnder the feete of the Gentiles vntill the time of the Gentiles bee fulfilled Heere speaketh IESUS of the Gentiles that they should haue a time and that the Gentiles tyme should beginne when Ierusalem was destroyed which time of the Gentiles is not found written in no place of the holy Scripture how long it shall endure except only in this place Secondly This secret of 1600 stadia if it should be vnderstood according to the letter and as the words are in themselues then this 1600 stadia or furlongs maketh no more than 50 myles but now the cup of GODS wrath hath powred it selfe more at large than 50 myles about Ierusalem yea in all the corners of the whole earth therefore this 1600 stadia is not vnderstood of the place but of the tyme. Thirdly It is commonly the forme of the holy Ghost that he opneth appointed tymes definita tempora with some dark kynd of speach Daniel 4. he calleth the seven yeares seven tymes Ezek. 4. Dan. 9. hee giveth to vnderstand yeares with dayes Ezek. 47.3.4.5 there is measured 4000 cubits vntill the Evangelicall fishing where vndoubtedly is vnderstood with 4000 cubits 4000 yeares namely from the first promise of the womans seede vntill the Evangelicall fishing beganne with the fishers of IESUS CHRIST The holy Apostles heereof can be vnderstood in this place with 1600 stadia right so many yeares So indureth the Heathings appoynted tyme after this calculation vntill the Sonne of man come in his white clowd who with his Angels will reape and gather the children of men the good and fruitfull grapes in his owne citie but will cutte off the wyld grapes with his sharp sickle till the 1670 yeares The third tyme of the New Testament Namely Gogs Magogs or Mahumets and Turkes Kingdome and that for the space 1335. yeares which is ended anno Christi 1670. according to the prophecie of Daniel 12. v. 12. and Dan. 7. ver 8. IN the foresaid chapters of Daniel is written that this little horne of Gogs or Mahumets which came vp with a little beginning and stoode vp amongst the ten hornes the ten Kingdomes of the Romish Monarchs who did plucke away three of the first horns and held warres against the Sanctuarie and was for them too strong verse 11 This little horne came vp Anno Christi 335 when that Arianish heresie spred foorth in denying of the Godhead of IESVS CHRIST in that publicke assemblie of Bishops and learned till Synodo of all was consented and approved and that in the ruined Citie of Ierusalem which false doctrine of Arius was the first cause and beginning till Gogs and Mahumets successe in the world so shall the end of this Gogs Magogs or Turkes and Mahumets fall after this calculation in the yeare 1670. for 1335 added vntill 335. makes in summe 1670. Secondly There is written in the Revelalion 9. verse 14. of the foure Angels that were bound in the river Euphrates that they should bee made lowse which were prepared at one houre at one day at one moneth and at one yeare to slaye the third part of men which doublesse is vnder stood of the Mahumets tyrannie which he executed on the poore Christians in the East Lands and how he changed lawes and times for Euphrates flood is not farre from Babylon The foure Angels that are said to bee bounde in this flood or the foure Patriarchs in the East land the one to Constantin the other to Antiochia the third to Ierusalem the fourth to Alexandria which foure helped and much assisted the Kingdome of the sonne of perdition These are said to bee loused and

Now how those two witnesse the Old and New Testament with all true preachers who hath holden with those two witnesses hath beene killed and rent it is eneugh knowne vnto all men for not onlie Papists but all other sects rent so on those two witnesse and so killeth them everie one to turne and revert them vnto his owne hereticall meaning which is eneugh knowne vnto everie true Christian but now most of all those two witnesses are now killed with their confederats in this 3 and an halfe yeares Namely from Anno 1625 vntill Anno Christi 1629. whereof the well learned man Master Meynelaus Poulsone Preacher to the Castell of Copemanhaven hath set out on our Dens tongue the foresaid Philippi Nicolai his words which likewise I will rehearse following in this manner Comment de regno CHRISTI lib. 2. capit 2. fol. 6. 196. sequent SEing now the holy BIBLE is translated in English French Dutch Dence and other tongues and languages and is vsed and reade with all diligence both of learned and vnlearned So vnderstandeth the Pope that Scotish English Fleames Dence Norwish Swedens Poles Bohemish and Vngarish with no deceate or subtilitie can bee brought againe vnder his power so long as the bookes of the old and new Testament haue the vpper hand and therefore he shall striue after also to take from these two witnesses all their prerogatiue and bring so to passe that they may haue no place in the Roman Church but to losse their shine altogether and by the permission of GOD seing Godlinesse is verie rare besides vs so can it lightly event that the Romish Antichrist shall haue once successe This proud and divelish victorie will continue three yeares and an half which is from the yeere 1625. vntill 1629 so long shall the Christian Kirk indure this persecution and shed her blood in great quantitie for confessing of the trueth and together in these tymes men shall see the bookes of the old and new Testament to be whole contemned and to ly as dead bodies in the streetes and they shall bee troade with feete yet some godly compassioners and the Evangelish true confessors shall not suffer them to be whole buried But thereafter from anno 1629 vntill anno 1670 the whole heavenly houre or fourtie one yeares and a halfe so shall kyth it selfe that the holy Scripture and holy minister calling with the two witnesses which is the old and new Testament shall powerfully come before againe and with great jubileren and especiall joyfull crying compasse about the godly and ascend vp into the clowdes of Heaven Apoc. 11. ver 12. this shall bee a great honour and glory and can not bee hindered This the Papists shall see and over all measure therethrough bee terrified seing they can not troade more the holy Bible vnder their feete neither turne the people with their anathemata or curse and cruell persecution from the diligent reading and godly meditation yea there shall be such a great Earthquake so that the tenth part of the great citie Apocal. 11. ver 13 that is the ten Kingdomes of the Papisticall dominions shall condiscend together namely the Germanians Hungarians Bohemians Polonians Swedens Dence Norwish English Scottish and French who shall be moved and shall knit themselues together and wholly denunce themselues off from the Papists yea they shall hold together with such a speciall zeale and that for the cruell persecution of the Christians as likewise for the cause of the vntolerable pride of the Romane Antichrist And shall fall in Italie or Welshland with mightie power and burne vp with fire that great Citie Rome great Babylon Revel 18. verse 8.

Heerewith it aggreeth with that which our foresaid author setteth in his exposition of the 12. chapter of Daniel lib. 2. de regno Christi pag. 121. saying It may bee that Anno Christi 1625. will come vp some new Motus and tumult that the Christistian Church will suffer cruell sorrowfull tempests againe but how it shall bee Daniel cleareth not except that which hee heareth of the Angel blessed are they that waiteth thereafter that is who are patient as yet vntill the 45 yeare are past Now everie one knoweth that patience is no wayes without crosses and sorrowes whereby may bee judged that Anno 1625 there will burst out a hole on a divelish and pestilentious byle which now Anno Christi 1596 when Philip Nicolai wrote this booke the enemies of the true Christians are making rype in their secret counsels and concealed pratickes that the Elect may be weary of those troublous times Wherefore of this ineluctabilis and future tyme of sorrows shall come on that tyme vntill the which wee haue as yet from this yeare 1579 28 yeare then should the soules of true Christians after the counsell of Daniel prepare theselues to patience and heerewith remember this cruell persecution shall not for ever indure but shall vndergoe within a short space and come to an
