Others who begin with the time when Boniface was created universal Bishop by Phocas As for the first viz. the opinion of those who begin from the time of Constantine the Great some of that opinion fixing upon the year 304. others differ as to a few years yet keep within the compasse of 300. and 316. I say not in answer to it that the very foundation of this opinion is a mistake viz. That the two Witnesses are the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament But my reasons against it are 1 Because by this opinion the Harmony of the mystical numbers is destroyed for if the one thousand two hundred and sixty dayes and the two and forty months begin with Constantines time then is it not possible to bring the one thousand two hundred sixty dayes the two and forty months to concur in their end with Daniels one thousand two hundred and ninety which must be upon the grounds laid down in our Key Thesi 17. unlesse we shall finde some action which may be accounted a fit Head for the one thousand two hundred and ninety daies thirty years above Constantine and in case this should befound yet then will not the one thousand three hundred thirty five which begins from the same Head with the one thousand two hundred and ninety concur in their end with the two thousand three hundred which also must be for our reasons Key Thesi 34. unlesse some other beginning and carrying on of that great number may upon approved grounds be found which will notwithstanding bring the two thousand three hundred dayes to end at the same point with the one thousand three hundred thirty five 2 Because setting the Harmony wholly aside by this computation the seventh Government in the Roman Empire viz. by Christian Emperors which is that John calls a Government yet to come Rev. 17.10 There are seven Kings i.e. distinct kinds of Government five are fallen one is and the other is not yet come is either wholly cut off or else confounded with the Beasts For this Government did not begin till Constantines time now if we thence also begin the two and forty months of the Beast then do we I say leave no room for the seventh kind of Government so that either it must be cut off or confounded with the Beasts That it should be cut off cannot be for the Text saith expresly it was to come i.e. as really to have a being as the five fallen had had and the sixth then in being had That we should confound it with the Beasts may not be First because this Government is to continue a space before the rise of the Beast And when it cometh it must continue a short space This short space must either be meant of the time before the Beasts Kingdome or the time of his Reign If the time of his Reign be meant and so the seventh Government and his Reign be made one how then is it called a short space seeing the time allotted to the Beast is a long time two and forty months one thousand two hundred and sixty years yea how is it called a short space comparatively with the sixth or former Government which continued not half nay not one third part of this time this Government therefore must be distinct from the Beasts Secondly because the Beasts Government as relating to this is called the eighth vers 11. And the Beast that was and is not even he is the eighth Though the Beast in respect of his Seat and the Civil power he exerciseth which power did reside in all the former Governments is said to be of the seven and accordingly hath seven Heads i.e. Rome the Seat of and the Civil power of all the former Governments yet is he not called the Seventh but of the seven because successively and in order he followeth the seventh and his Government comes in as the eighth being a Government distinct from the seventh and all theseveral Governments before him For which reason we may not confound the Beasts Government with the seventh which yet this opinion either doth or shuts wholly out neither of which can stand with truth 3 Because according to this supputation the time is expired above a hundred years since And being so 1 How comes it to passe that yet of late yeers the Holy City hath been so trodden underfoot Saints for Religion sake driven to flight as it hath been with us here in England yea so many killed and put to death as have been in Germany the Low-Countries France and all this within much lesse time then one hundred yeers yea the greatest part of it not half the time Certainly whilst the Woman is driven from one corner of the world to the other to hide her self and her children are cruelly killed massacred we cannot look upon her as come out of the wildernesse whilst Antichristian injunctions and superstitions are set up and imposed instead of the pure worship of Christ who will say the treading underfoot of the Holy City is at an end and have not these things been more or lesse within lesse then twenty I may say within lesse then half this twenty years I would I could not say at this present 2 How also comes it to passe that so many years since the expiring of this time the Beast hath escaped and neither been killed with the sword nor led into captivity seeing it is said of him that at the end of his Reign his two and forty months expired He that leadeth into Captivity shall be led into Captivity he that killeth with the sword shall be killed with the sword Rev. 13.10 If it be said Christ hath these many yeers ever since Luthers time in a spiritual manner with the sword of his mouth been killing and captivating the Beast I answer true But what hath been done against him by a Civil sword or towards a Civil captivating of him which is the Sword and Captivity here spoken of For observe such a Sword as he hath killed the Saints with and such a Captivity as he hath exposed them unto such a Sword and such a Captivity it being brought upon him by God in a way of retaliation shall himself suffer by and be exposed unto but the one hath been Civil therefore shall the other also If it be replied was not this done some years since in Germany by Gustavus Adolphus Answ Grant it so to be Yet doth that fall many years too late the one thousand two hundred and sixty according to this opinion being expired long before his time but now no sooner is the time expired but instantly Hee that leadeth into Captivity is led into Captivity Hee that killeth with the Sword is killed with the Sword Neither the German War therefore nor any that hath been since will at all help this opinion 2. If the Wan of the Swedish King in Germany were a killing the Beast with the Sword a leading him into Captivity then most certainly since he is
