In which ending I am bold yet to declare The Times and Half Determin'd to the Papacy Expire So that this Year must be the Ending of Half Time As then at the Beginning of Half Time In the Wise and Holy dispose of God There was by the Emperor Charles V. being King of Spain and Chosen Emperor of Germany 1519. an offer made at Vniversal Monarchy and was so Repressed as hath been spoken for the making Good of Prophecy so in the lat●er End of Half Time He hath permitted the same Attempt by the French King for some Yea●s past and having wearied it all along by the opposition rais●d to it by the Confederacy upon the very end of Half Time this very 97 He hath by the Peace given this Boundary to it That he may shew He magnifies his Word and particularly of Prophecy above All his Name Rem 4. It des●rves just Reflection That the Time of Negotiating and Transacting this Peace must in the nearest and most Conclusive Treaties of it have run through the Prophetick Hour Viz. From August 15th to the end of that Month and so into the following Month So the publick owning and signing of it was on the very 10th of the Seventh Month the Day of the Ancient Attonement and Jubilee and that therein God hath in some measure pleased to own the Reference of his unworthyest Servant to that very Time Oh that it might be an earnest of the Acceptable Year of the Lord as of the Jubilee of his Kingdom Approaching though as yet I must Acknowledge much below my Hopes and Expectations I cannot yet but add The Proclamations of Peace in England and France in this Month of October Answer in Time in this last Year of Half Time to Gods Gracious Impulse upon the Spirit of Luther to Proclaim an open Evangelic War on Antichristian Rome in the same Month of the First Year of Half Time Viz. 1517. And those who Joyned to herein with him were Called Evangelici as in Allusion to the Word us'd in Prophecy for the Finishing the mystery God had Rev. 10. 7. Evangelized his Servants the Prophets in or made them Evangelics concerning which gives great Ground of Hope there shall be some Highly Evangelical Product of this Peace and defyance of Antichristianism by it Oh! Let us Humbly wait and pray for it Rem 5. It is very Greatly to be remarked that God was pleas'd in the Last 1688. To have made an Extraordinary Universally Acknowledged to be so Revolution in these Protestant Nations of England Scotland and Ireland in Bar of Popery endeavouring to return upon them and Universal Monarchy That hath been owned confederated and allyed with by some of the Greatest Princes that yet Give their Kingdom to the Beast and hath been disputed by the French King from the very Entrance of it and in continuation till this Peace And with whom the Abdicated King the Late King James hath had his Residence ever since Now that God hath been pleased to own the Protestant Prince this Revolution brought in to sustain him and these Nations in so Long and Expensive a War in the midst of many great Losses by Sea in a mutual satisfaction and confidence one in another That he hath preserved him in so many Hazardous Passings and Repassings the Sea in so many Approaches of Danger and Jeopardyes of Life as Scripture speaks in the High Places of the Field where his person was so constantly Adventur'd That he hath been so secur'd from Private Conspiracys and Assassinations and now so Highly Agniz'd so Publickly so Solemnly and Augustly by the very French King who made it his Glory to disown Him and is Returned this very Year of 97.
