And the Lord Said Write the Vision and make it plain upon Tables that He may Run that readeth it for the Vision is for an Appointed Time c. Heb. 2.2.3 The Testimony of T. Beverley according to Scripture Prophecy concerning the Kingdom of Christ near Approoching Summ'd up in these Following Positions Position 1. A Truly Vniversal Monarchy or Kingdom from Sea to Sea and from the River to the Ends of the Earth even the Dominion under the whole Heaven is decreed by God to our Lord Jesus Christ at the End of the Fourth viz. the Roman Monarchy yet in Being in the Papacy in Order to Prepare for His Glorious Kingdom of a 1000 Years in the New Heaven and the New Earth never to end but to be deliver'd up to God All in All. Posit 2. The Time of this Kingdom succeeding may be known by due search of the Scripture and its Prophesies God having Given therein a Line of Time drawn throughout all Ages either by its own History or by its Prophecy and because the Last Times are most notable and of Greatest Concern to be known and Given in Mystical and Prophetical Delineations The Line of Time drawn over those latter Times is supported by Coincident or Collatteral Lines with such Evident Characters of Relation and Agreement that no several Joynts of a Tube can be more known by any Marks or fitness of their Commissures one with Another Posit 3. By such Search There are several Great Reasons of Assurance that the Time is 1697. for the Succession of that Kingdom But that which may most easily Run into General Observation is That 1697 is the 180th Year from the Reformation which Reformation could not have been with so known a Retrenchment of the Papal Kingdom but after the manner of Christ's Rising on the Morning of the Third day call'd yet Three days when Time Times and Half a Time are Sworn by Christ to it if the Half Time had not been Entred which Half Time compared with Time and Times Time Times and Half Time being just equal unto 1260 Days for Years can be but an 180 Years Seeing then the Apostasie of the Christian Church hath in all Protestant Judgment stood so near 1260 Years as by the Prophecy It ought to stand and that the most Recorded Time of the Reformation Beginning was 1517. The 180th from it must be 1697 And seeing as soon as ever Papal Times cease the Kingdom of Christ according to a Great Harmony of Scriptures must succeed The Succession of that Kingdom must be at 1697. Who can but lay All this together It fairly Conspires That the American New World * Such a one Most Remarkably Branded Heresie in the deep Time of the Apostasie by Pope Zechary Anno 745. and the Magellanic Sea were so lately before the Reformation discovered that according to that Landscaph of the Reformation Revel 10. Jesus Christ making his Entry as we speak and Claim of his Kingdom might set his Right Foot on the Sea and his Left Foot on the Earth of a Larger and Greater World then had been Known before and might with his Hand Lifted up to Heaven Swear That there should be no more Time but the Half Time Running out The Time of the Kingdom succeeding to prepare for its Glory and then his Kingdom in Full Glory Brings in Time of a New date as every New Kingdom does and this is such Time as never was before Posit 4. The Papal Kingdom having a Greater Interest in Half Time though as of a Kingdom Retrench'd then Christ in Regard of hi● Oath for Half Time also would Assume in it So many of the Kings of the Christian Name call'd the Ten Kongs did upon so Great an Invitation to Recall their Power from the Beast as the Reformation was by a Joynt deliberate Act as it were a Second Act with One consent Decree to Give their Kingdom still to the Beast mention'd therefore a Second Time and with this peculiar Remark on that Second Mention untill the Words of God should be Fulfill'd in the Half Time also Rev. 17.17 Seeing then this Second Act had its date from 1517 and that so many Kings and States could not have gone off except It had been the Half Time entred and that None of them shall Continue Longer with Him then till the Words of God are Fulfill●d in that Half Time also How certain is it There must be so Great a Change at 1697 the Half Times End which so plainly Appears to be 97 On the same Account The Reformation cannot be perfect but in it will be Found Remains of the Apostasie and this on the Account of the Oath of Christ for Half Time also The Thunders therefore in that Foremention'd Landscaph that open'd the Reformation so far as we find it were Seal'd That it should proceed no further but a far Greater Reformation be Expected at the End of Half Time viz. 97. which will then certainly come to pass wherein All Remains of Antichristianism will be purg'd off Posit 5. Those Two Scriptures urg'd so much against Search into Prophetic Times Mark 13.32 Of that Day and Hour Knoweth no Man c. and Acts 1.7 It is not for you to Know the Times and the Seasons which the Father hath set in his own Power may according to the Best and most Agreed Rules for Interpreting Scripture be demonstratively clear'd to Intend no such Foreprizal seeing so many Scriptures make plain the Abundant Communication of the Knowledge of Times from God to Christ and from Christ to his Servants especially in the Revelation God Gave to Him to shew to His Servants So that That Scripture stands Immutably Firm against all Cavill Rev. 1.3 Blessed is He that Readeth and They that Hear the words of his Prophecy most especially now the Time is so near at Hand Posit 6. The Turkish Tyranny being a Judgment on purpose designed and set out in Prophecy as a Jugdment on the Antichristian Apostasie It cannot pass off either according to the nature of the Thing or according to the Representation of Prophecy till the Time Allowed to the Antichristian Apostasie be Ended and that Remov'd Posit 7. The First Great Dawn of the Great Change that will be at the Succession of the Kingdom of Christ will be seen in the Suffering Reformed Churches lying among the yet Continuing Popish Powers wherein the Vaudois and the French Protestants being the most Eminent the Dealings of God towards Them are especially to be Eyed according to the nearness of the present Time to the Kingdom of Jesus Christ and to be waited for as the Great Signal of it And it is now every day to be expected and to be prayed for with all Fervent Prayer as the effect of this next Summers Action and our Prince's Appearance in it Posit 8. The Desolations on the Jewish People and State are decreed till the End of the War against Christ and his Kingdom first by the Roman Pagan and then
