Words taking in the whole World. Argum. 6 If the very Frame of the Vision be such as is most proper for the giving such a Calendar until that Great Kingdom of Christ then we have Reason to look upon it as such a Calendar Let us then consider in the Image these several Things 1. The whole Image made up of all its Parts 2. The Distribution of the Parts as the several Residencies of the Monarchies 3. The Monarchicness it self 4. The Monarchicness first United in its Residency to such and such Parts and then its remove to other Parts Now in every one of these Particulars by the Wisdom of the Divine Spirit some assurance of Time in general is Given as It runs to the Kingdom of Christ but most particularly the Calendar is fix'd in the Duration of the Monarchic Residence in each part then in the Remove of the Monarchicness from one part to another as shall be seen by this following Reflection on each The whole Image is made up of Four Monarchies which in Allusion to the Humane Body make the upper and lower parts of such a Body the higher Parts the Precedent and first Ages of Time at and after the Vision given and so furthest from the End or Kingdom of Christ the lower parts the after Ages nearer and nearer to the End or Kingdom of Christ The whole Image therefore hath a fitness to describe Time by its Higher and Lower parts and further It self standing and having its several parts subsistent or in Being is thus far a Calendar that we know thereby The Time of the Image is yet and that therefore the Kingdom of Christ is not yet Come even as we know by the Kingdom of Christ not yet Appearing The Image is yet standing Thus we see the whole Image and the distribution of its Parts is prepared as the Dial-plate of a Clock or Watch or as the Months in the year giving together the Circle of the Suns motion But then the Monarchicness is as the Sun moving from Sign to Sign or from Month to Month or as the Hand on the Dial-plate from Hour to Hour so moves that Monarchicness from the higher to the lower parts and thereby defines Time For the Higher the parts in which the Monarchy resides the further off from the Kingdom of Christ the lower it subsides the nearer to the Kingdom of Christ If then we can find the Monarchicness in any parts of this Image yet Resiant or Resting we know in general the Kingdom of Christ hath not yet appeared but if we find it in not only the Legs but in the Feet and Toes we know as the Apostle says It is the last Hour but it is not yet out Let us then consider these Four Kingdomes or Monarchies as closely united as they make this Calendar of Time as the Humane Body is however the parts as several Kingdomes contest one with another where the Monarchicness shall Reside while then the Feet support the whole the whole stands and as the Head of Gold the Arms and Breast of Silver and Thighs of Brass give Lustre to the Iron Legs and Feet part of Iron and part of Clay So the Feet of part Iron part Clay at the same Time support the more excellent Mettals and show their danger of being Beaten together when ever those partly Brittle Feet fail and the Image falls thereupon Till then they Remain as in the Type united as Bodily parts however the Monarchicness as a Spirit Flitts and shifts in its efficacy of Power and Action from one to another viz. from the Higher to Lower on which account in the following Vision it is said the last or fourth Beast in the Little Horn and his Body is given to the devouring Flames But the other Beasts had onely their Dominion taken from them but their Lives were Prolonged That then which principally gives us the Time of the Calendar is the Motion of the Monarchic Spirit from part to part Now that Monarchic Spirit which is specific to all these Monarchies is Idolatrous Salvage Cruel oppos'd to the Kingdom of God and of Jesus Christ So long then as such a Spirit Animates and Informs any part of this Image so long the Calendar is in date And if we can find where this Spirit is now in its Monarchic Energetic force we may know whereabout we are in this Calendar For seeing it is most undeniable the Head of Gold was the First Kingdom and the Kingdom arising after and Inferior in Time was the Second Kingdom That which next followed after was a Third Kingdom that was of Brass and then a Fourth of Iron first as in the Legs and then part of Iron part of Clay as in the Feet and Toes of the last state and that each of these are called Kingdomes and not single Kings and one after another and that God hereby made known to Nebuchadnezzar what should be hereafter Seeing All these things are undeniably thus It is also undeniable these Monarchies are a Calendar of Time And lastly seeing the Kingdom that stands for Ever and Ever so particularly smites the Image in the Feet and Toes of Iron and Clay and that the Iron and the Clay and the Brass and the Silver and the Gold were Broken in pieces together and that in the days of the Kings Symboll'd by the Toes the God of Heaven would Set up a Kingdom and lastly that the Stone cut out of the Mountain without Hands shall Break in Pieces the Iron the Brass and the Clay which is set in the middle as in the point where all were Broken and the Silver and the Gold It is most evident This Image of Gold Silver Brass Iron and Clay is a Calendar of Time till the Everlasting Throne which must be the same with the Throne in Ezekiel and that the Toes particularly as of Clay are the very Last part or End of the Calendar before that Throne or Kingdom Argum. 7 The Consideration of the following Vision of Ch●p 7. the Four Beasts given by God to Daniel is a further Assurance of the Calendar to the Kingdom of Christ drawn in these two Visions For therein God hath doubled the thing for the certainty of it as in Pharohs Dream of old Interpreted by Joseph and there is no Reason to doubt both Visions Center in the same design to lead by the same Four Kingdomes to the Kingdom of Christ and at the same Time viz. at the End of the Four Monarchies There is no Reason I say to doubt although the Materials or Symbols of the Visions differ so much as one to be taken from the several parts of the Body of a Man the other from Salvage Beasts For so the similitudes in Pharohs dream much differ'd one taken from seaven Ears of Corn the other from seaven Kine But as then so now The great Intention was to Ascertain the Event by Ingemination For the Four Kingdomes in both Visions so evidently plain and the Everlasting Kingdom at the
