A75736	The work of the age: or, the sealed prophecies of Daniel opened and applied. VVherein is plainly proved that all the governments in the world, except the government of Christ, are but images, or parts of Nebuchadnezzars image, and shall be suddenly broken in pieces by the little stone cut out of the mountain without hand: together with the means how Christ will effect all this. Shewing also that image-government, and image-worship have always been companions. Explaining likewise Daniels mystical numbers, and discovering some misprisions about the little horn, both in the translation and application of the same. Amending sundry places in our common translation, and clearing some chronological points from the common errours. / By William Aspinwall.

in_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o this_o chapter_n be_v speak_v of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o not_o of_o the_o militia_n belong_v to_o the_o adversary_n 2_o the_o word_n host_n be_v of_o the_o

unless_o the_o prophet_n have_v intend_v thereby_o to_o express_v the_o feminine_a spirit_n of_o this_o horn_n militia_n which_o can_v be_v the_o prophet_n meaning_n nor_o can_v it_o stand_v with_o the_o prevalency_n of_o this_o horn_n militia_n which_o cast_v the_o truth_n to_o the_o earth_n and_o prevail_v and_o prosper_v wherefore_o i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v more_o proper_a to_o render_v the_o word_n in_o the_o second_o person_n singular_a of_o the_o masculine_a gender_n and_o thou_o o_o host_n shall_v be_v give_v up_o as_o if_o the_o prophet_n have_v speak_v to_o the_o chief_a

due_a attention_n whereunto_o have_v give_v occasion_n as_o i_o conceive_v to_o some_o godly_a man_n to_o extend_v the_o answer_n from_o the_o end_n of_o the_o first_o monarchy_n unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o four_o which_o they_o esteem_v will_v amount_v unto_o 2300_o year_n but_o let_v it_o be_v keep_v in_o memory_n till_o we_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o next_o vers_fw-la that_o the_o

the_o begin_n of_o the_o five_o for_o than_o we_o may_v have_v expect_v the_o answer_n will_v have_v be_v proportionable_a but_o that_o be_v not_o the_o question_n which_o the_o saint_n here_o make_v his_o heart_n it_o seem_v be_v deep_o affect_v with_o the_o sad_a calamity_n threaten_v against_o the_o host_n and_o against_o the_o temple_n and_o against_o the_o institute_v worship_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o he_o make_v inquiry_n how_o long_o this_o shall_v continue_v whereunto_o the_o answer_n be_v give_v in_o the_o next_o ensue_a verse_n verse_n 14._o and_o he_o say_v unto_o i_o until_o evening_n morning_n two_o thousand_o and_o three_o hundred_o then_o shall_v the_o sanctuary_n be_v cleanse_v or_o justify_v remember_v now_o what_o the_o question_n be_v how_o long_a god_n will_v permit_v this_o horn_n thus_o to_o prevail_v against_o the_o host_n and_o against_o his_o institute_v worship_n and_o temple_n and_o here_o you_o have_v a_o plain_a and_o full_a solution_n of_o the_o question_n which_o we_o may_v easy_o discern_v by_o the_o angel_n answer_n if_o we_o mark_v narrow_o his_o word_n for_o he_o do_v not_o say_v then_o shall_v the_o four_o monarchy_n end_n or_o

image_n of_o jupiter_n olympius_n and_o with_o strange_a sacrifice_n now_o in_o this_o answer_n let_v two_o thing_n be_v consider_v and_o they_o will_v full_o clear_v the_o question_n 1_o the_o durance_n or_o continuance_n of_o time_n to_o give_v both_o the_o sanctuary_n and_o the_o host_n to_o be_v tread_v under_o foot_n 2_o the_o end_n and_o expiration_n of_o that_o time_n for_o the_o first_o to_o wit_n the_o durance_n of_o this_o calamity_n it_o be_v say_v until_o two_o thousand_o and_o three_o hundred_o evening_n morning_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v in_o our_o phrase_n of_o speech_n it_o shall_v continue_v for_o the_o space_n of_o two_o thousand_o and_o three_o hundred_o artificial_a day_n i_o know_v the_o scripture_n use_v not_o the_o word_n artificial_a yet_o it_o ow_v the_o distribution_n of_o the_o natural_a day_n into_o two_o part_n the_o light_a part_n and_o the_o dark_a part_n thereof_o john_n 11._o 9_o 10._o be_v there_o not_o twelve_o hour_n in_o the_o day_n if_o a_o man_n walk_v in_o the_o day_n

he_o stumble_v not_o because_o he_o see_v the_o light_n of_o this_o world_n but_o if_o a_o man_n walk_v in_o the_o night_n he_o stumble_v because_o there_o be_v no_o light_n in_o he_o and_o such_o be_v the_o distribution_n from_o the_o beginning_n gen._n 1._o 5._o and_o god_n call_v the_o light_n day_n and_o the_o darkness_n he_o call_v night_n and_o the_o evening_n be_v and_o the_o morning_n be_v the_o first_o day_n these_o two_o part_n which_o we_o common_o call_v artificial_a add_v together_o do_v constitute_v a_o whole_a day_n of_o twenty_o four_o hour_n which_o we_o call_v a_o natural_a day_n in_o sum_n therefore_o the_o angel_n answer_v amount_n to_o thus_o much_o to_o satisfy_v the_o saint_n who_o make_v inquiry_n how_o long_a god_n will_v give_v the_o host_n and_o the_o

and_o two_o month_n for_o though_o in_o this_o verse_n there_o be_v a_o ellipsis_n or_o defect_n of_o the_o conjunction_n vau_fw-fr or_o the_o demonstrative_a article_n he_o yet_o in_o the_o 26_o

translate_v 2300_o day_n as_o in_o our_o new_a translation_n which_o have_v give_v occasion_n to_o some_o to_o mistake_v the_o angel_n answer_n and_o to_o think_v he_o here_o speak_v of_o prophetical_a day_n but_o search_v we_o the_o scripture_n throughout_o and_o we_o shall_v never_o find_v the_o holy_a ghost_n express_v prophetical_a day_n in_o that_o phrase_n of_o speech_n put_v a_o evening_n for_o a_o year_n and_o a_o morning_n for_o a_o year_n nor_o be_v it_o proper_a so_o to_o speak_v because_o there_o be_v no_o revolution_n of_o the_o sun_n in_o twelve_o hour_n space_n always_o when_o scripture_n speak_v of_o prophetical_a day_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n he_o use_v the_o word_n jo●_n or_o day_n as_o ezech._n 4_o 5_o 6._o three_o hundred_o and_o ninty_a day_n a_o day_n for_o a_o year_n and_o forty_o day_n put_v a_o day_n for_o a_o year_n so_o dan._n 11._o 12._o wherefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o since_o no_o instance_n can_v be_v give_v from_o scripture_n where_o evening_n and_o morning_n be_v put_v for_o a_o year_n but_o for_o part_n of_o a_o natural_a day_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v the_o angel_n to_o speak_v of_o 2300_o artificial_a day_n

apply_v this_o prophecy_n unto_o the_o roman_a civil_a or_o antichristian_a state_n extend_v the_o same_o unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o four_o monarchy_n yet_o i_o can_v see_v how_o that_o can_v stand_v with_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n which_o say_v that_o the_o king_n of_o the_o north_n and_o the_o king_n of_o the_o south_n shall_v have_v a_o league_n 〈◊〉_d league_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d

make_v a_o league_n with_o the_o turk_n much_o more_o unlikely_a it_o be_v that_o they_o shall_v make_v intermarriage_n either_o with_o the_o turk_n daughter_n or_o the_o jew_n daughter_n whether_o soever_o you_o shall_v imagine_v to_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o king_n of_o the_o south_n as_o for_o the_o pope_n if_o he_o shall_v be_v think_v to_o be_v the_o king_n of_o the_o north_n it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o he_o to_o marry_v neither_o can_v it_o probable_o be_v imagine_v either_o of_o the_o roman_a emperor_n or_o of_o the_o turk_n wherefore_o i_o can_v consent_v to_o such_o a_o
