thundring Angels all at once compleateth the day of Iudgement Nap. In the 14. Chapter verse 14. and 16. it is said that the fourth thundring Angel which is Christ himselfe enters actually into his great Harvest to gather up his Elect at the warning of the fifth Angel even Gods holy spirit ver 15. like as contrarily the sixt thundring Angel executor of Gods fierce wrath mentioned vers 17. and 19. is admonished and warned by the seventh Angel commander thereof to cut downe and 〈…〉 the Vines of the earth in the winepresse of Gods 〈◊〉 and so by these foure last Angels or Thunders 〈…〉 Christ himself and by his whole ministring Angel● 〈◊〉 the figure of these last Angels all the 〈…〉 of Gods harvest and latter Iudgement is accomplis●●● Rol. And when did the first of the three first 〈◊〉 Iubile begin Nap. Even as I said before the last of the seven s … and the first of the seven Trumpets began both at once in the yeare of Christ 71. so in like manner the last of the seven Trumpets and the first of the seven thunders began both at once in the yeare of Christ 1541. Rol. What moves you to think it beginneth that yeare Nap. In the 11. Ch. v. 15. it is said that at the blast of the 7th Trumpet the Kingdome of the World becommeth Christ his Kingdome that is then the Kingdome of Antichrist all other prophane Kingdoms shall fall and Christ his Kingdom shall be spred and inlarged over all and this can no other way come to passe then by the preaching of the Evangel which was of new opened up and preached at the comming of the first Angel whom the Text saith to have an everlasting Gospel to preach unto them that dwell upon the earth which Angel as I said before is manifest to be the first of the seven thunders therfore it followeth consequently that the new restoring of the Evangell the seventh trumpet or Viall and the first thunder or thundring Angel come all at once even in Anno Christi 1541. About which yeare God stirred up openly his first Ministers and servants Luther Calvin Melancthon and others ver 6.7 to preach out during all this Iubile the perfect verity of the Gospel publikely which before was hid and obscured under the Antichristian Reigne so that now the true Church lurketh no more but Gods truth to all the world is made apparant by these Ministers teaching them according to the Text to feare God onely and leaving all other superstitious worshipping to give glory onely unto him Rol. And when did this first of these 3. Iubiles end Na. If you reckon you shall easily find that it ended in Ann. Christi 1590. And then came the second of the seven thundring Angels ver 8. declaring even presently the horrible fall and decay to become of that figurative Babylon and great Antichristian City about which time to wit the end of the first Iubile and beginning of the second God hath shewed marvellous indices that the Empire of Rome and Papisticall Kingdome shall shortly fall the Antichristian and Spanish Fleet is destroy'd the late King of France Duke of Guize and his Brother Papists and Committers of the Parisian Massacre all murthered by other a Protestant now made King of France so that before the end of this Iubile God willing Rome and the whole Papisticall Kingdome thereof shall be ruined Rol. And what yeare shall this second Iubile end Nap. In the yeare 1639. Rol. And what followes upon that Nap. After that comes the third Iubile or the third thundring and threatning Messengers openly and loudly threatning that if any be now that doe worship or reverence that Antichristian Empire or that receive the old superstitious marks thereof on their foreheads or on their hands the same shall drinke of Gods wrath so that in this third Jubile the Ministers and Messengers of God shall God-willing have only the latter dregs of that Romish seat to admonish and threaten by open intimation that if any be in whose hearts the reverence of that ruined Empire or if any now be marked with Chrisme or Crosse on hand or head he shall be tormented eternally in the fire of Hell Rol. Well Sir now I see plainely that if we add to 1639. 49. yeares then according to your account the day of Iudgement appears to fall about 1688. I had not thought it could have bin so plainly proved by Scripture Nap. I doe assure my selfe that all the prophesies of the latter day shall be knowne and manifested to Gods Church before Christ come to Iudgement and if we doe conferre all prophesies and propheticall figures thereof together wee shall find them come so neere to that time that verily the matter is wonderfull Rol. I pray Sir proceed on to doe it Nap. First as touching the Cimball of the Saboth it is thought by the most learned that the six dayes of labour weekly observed doth meane and beare the simball of 6000. yeares that mankind shall endure the travells and cares of this world and that is confirmed by Peter who speaking of the day of Iudgement noteth that a thousand yeares shall bee as one day in Gods sight and a day as a thousand yeares and so consequently the sixe dayes of worke to represent sixe thousand yeares after the which sixe thousand yeares of worldly cares and travells then shall come our eternall Saboth and rest in the glory of Heaven signified by the seaventh dayes rest for that truely there is no institution apointed by God to Moses which besides the civell commodity had not also a spirituall figure and sure it is that no figure agreeth more consonant with these sixe dayes of work and seventh day of rest then the present miseries of this world and eternall Saboth hereafter secondly agreeable to the former there is a sentence of the house of Elias reserved in all Ages bearing these words the world shall stand sixe thousand yeares and then it shall be consumed with fire two thousand yeares voyd or without Law two thousand yeares under the Law and two thousand yeares shall be the dayes of the Messias and for our offences which shall be manyand great shall these yeares lacke which shall lack thus farre saith Elias Now the terme of these sixe thousand yeares doth expire about the 2000. yeare of Christ which terme both by the said saying of Elias and by Christs owne saying in Mathew appeareth to be shortned and therefore thirdly by Daniell wee shall aproach neerer that terme for he in his 12. chap. intreating both of the first Resurrection which is the Resurrection from the Antichristian errours and of the second Resurrection which is the generall resurrection from the dead such an Angell as afterward appeareth to Iohn Rev. 10. teaching him concerning the latter day doth here apeare to Daniel swearing solemly a terme of propheticall dayes to every one of those questions doubled of by the Prophet of which the greatest terme is expressed to
