Shewing unto all people in all nations, what the state of things hath been in ages past, and what the state of things are at this present day. ... And also, here it is manifest, concerning the teachers of this age, and the root from whence they sprang, who are manifest to be of that stock of false prophets, which Christ prophesied of should come, and which the Apostles saw was coming in their dayes, and how that the night of darknesse hath been upon all, for many generations: ... And also, the restauration is described, which shortly cometh, wherein Christ shall reign, whose right it is, and shall change laws and decrees, and the lamb shall be the light of all nations, ... and their King shall possesse the uttermost parts of the earth. By one who hath measured the times, who is come to the day that hath made all things manifest. Edw: Burrough.

marvelous light to spring forth and his day to dawn and the day was manifest that many Prophets and wise men had desired to see but was not in their time seen by them and his power was made known and his arme was made bare in the sight of many Nations and in that day his glory was spread abroad and his truth and way was exalted and his glorious Gospell was declared through the earth and the sound of his marvelous works went forth into all the world judgement and mercy was known and righteousnesse and peace was witnessed among men and life and immortallity was brought to light through the Gospel and the word of life by which all things was created and by which they stand was handled seen felt and tasted and the Lord God in that age was known to dwell with his people and to walk in them and his Covenant was established with many and his promises was fulfilled redemption deliverance and salvation was revealed even Christ Jesus the Son of God the Prince of peace And righteousnesse was made manifest in the sons of men and revealed in many who saw Gods glory and was witnesses of his majesty and dominion and were gathered unto him in the bond of peace and were his sons and daughters and were led by his Spirit in all his wayes of truth and righteousnesse And many went forth into the world and declared through Nations the things of Gods kingdome which was come to them and was discovered within them and the Lord God spake from Heaven by his Son unto them and they were filled with the holy Ghost and with power And the Lord was with them whom he called and made them wise and their word powerfull and their message effectuall and their weapons were mighty through God and strong holds were subdued and the powers of death and darkness were subjected and the hearts of thousands were turned to God and the Gospell was preached in power through the world and many were brought to God out of darknesse into light and from Satans power unto God And the earth was filled with Light and the mighty and the wise were confounded and the bonds of cruel oppressions were broken and they that set themselves against the Lord and his way were confounded and scattered and brought to naught though they were many in that generation How did all the chief Priests and Scribes and Pharises Elders of the People and Rulers and Governors lift up themselves in the Pride of their hearts and took Counsel together and persecuted the innocent and put to death and imprisoned the children of the most high How did they in the dayes of Christ persecute and seek for his life till they had taken it from the earth by their subtilty and wickednesse The Apostles and Ministers of Christ were persecuted some was put to death and others suffered grievous things for the Name of Christ and were made a prey and a spoyle unto destroyers whose wickednesse increased against the way of God till it was fulfilled in its measure and the wicked with their works were dashed to pieces and the Lord gave his way and truth and servants dominion and power over all his enemies and whole Nations were brought to the knowledge of God and his ways and his name was glorious and his kingdome was exalted in the earth and many were his people who were gathered by him and his powerfull word through the mouth of his ministers whom he ordained and called who were fishermen and such like who were chosen to fullfill his will and to doe his worke and not many wise men of the world were called but God chose the foolish things to confound the wise then as he doth now and such were honoured by the Lord and bearers of his name and of his message and glad tideings though they were contemned of men yet unto such he gave the authority to overturne the wise and to outreach the wisedome of this world for they were learned of the father and had the knowledge of his wayes though they were unlearned in the arts and crafts of men which stands more in pollicy and subtilty then in the feare and wisdome of God and in that day the Lord was with his people while his people was with him and he loved them while they stood in his counsell and he gave them dominion over all their enemies and they were a terrour to the whole world while the churches stood in the dread and terrour of the Lord of hoasts yea all bowed under them and their feet trod upon the high places of the earth and they were blessed of the Lord above all people even till they waxed fat and were increased in treasures and thought they had need of nothing and then they forgat God and rebelled against him and became perverse in their wayes and grew into strange Idolatries and errors and left the way of truth and cast Gods Law behinde them and the power of godlinesse ceased and the forme grew and it was exalted more then power and love waxed cold when iniquity abounded and men became lovers of themselves more then of the Lord and the Lord and his marvellous workes which had been brought to passe were forgotten and hardnesse of heart and unbeliefe entered and then the false prophets and antichrists came in which Christ had prophesied of and established the forme of godlinesse without the power and subverted many even whole houses and Countries from the simplicity of Christ Jesus so that many became insensible and grew past feeling of the power and operation of God and their minds became blinded and their eares stopped and God was grieved who had brought up children and they forgat him and rebelled against him for the Churches became corrupted and lost the life and power of God and the holy ghost and became Idolaters and worshipers of Idolls and as you may read Paul prophesied that many should depart from the faith and give heed to seducing spirits and to the doctrine of Devills and grievous wolves should enter not sparing the flock but seeking to devoure it and would make havock and merchandise of soules through coveteousnesse and filthy lucre and perilous times would come wherein their should be a forme of godlinesse and not the power and in that generation before and soone after his decease this came to passe and was fullfilled and as you may read in the revelations the churches grew into superstitions and Idolatries the church of Ephesus had lost her first love and her candlestick was to be removed and so it came to passe and some in the church of Smyrna were in the blasphemy saying they were Jewes and were not but were the sinagogues of Satan and the church of Pergamos some among them held the doctrine of Balaam and to eat things sacrificed to Idolls and to commit fornication and some held the doctrine of the Nicolaitans which God hated and against them would the Lord fight with the sword of his

and his name and power is declared in the hearts of his people to the overturning of all unrighteousnesse and though every horn of the Beast push against this and every head with his members set it selfe against it yet the councell of the Lord shall not be disanulled nor made voyd for the Scepter and dominion of his Son shall be exalted over all the earth and the Princes of the world and the Kings of the earth shall lay down their Crowns and become subject for the Kingdomes of this world shall be changed and shall become the Kingdomes of the Lord and of his Christ the Kingdome of the Beast must down and the Princely power of darknesse must be overthrowne and Lawes and times and things and powers of men shall be overturned and overturned till he come to reigne in the earth whose right it is to reigne over Nations and people And because of this the rage of the Heathen hath been great and the councells of the wicked many and strong from the prophane drunkards to the chiefest professed teachers of this age even all the whole body of the Beast hath joyned it selfe against the purpose of the Lord men of all conditions from the highest to the lowest have armed themselves with mischiefe to offend the way of truth This is written as moved of the Lord to go abroad through the Nations that all may understand concerning the times and the changing of times how that the Beast hath reigned in dominion over Nations tongues and people and all have worshiped the Beast and gone after the false Prophet here all may come to a good understanding what hath been and what is and what shall be how that when the power and government of Christ was lost through departing from the faith which ruled in the Apostles dayes then the whole world was as unstable in wayes and judgments as a Sea then out of the Sea one beast arose and another after him arose out of the earth and all hath been caused both small and great bond and free to worship the beast and the image of the Beast yea all the dominions of the world hath for many ages been subject to the power of the Beast in all things and not known the worship and power of God and the pure subjection to him but the Kings of the earth and all her Princes have given their power to the Beast and hath received their authority from him and acted thereby many of them in great unrighteousnesse in injustice and oppression and cruelty in pride and rebellion and vaine glory in quarilling one with another to the murdering of thousands of thousands and this hath all been brought forth under the power of the Beast and by it and his heads and hornes hath exalted themselves one against another and smitten one another and the great whore hath made them all drunke and all people upon earth with envy pride wantonnesse and all unrighteousnesse this hath been since the Apostles dayes in this night of Apostacie wherein the whole world hath been subverted by false Prophets and deceivers and the Kingdome of Christ hath not been known upon earth for many generations but the Beast hath been established in his Throne of rebellion against Christ Jesus his decrees hath been Lawes and statutes and he hath made war against all the Saints and overcome them and reigned over them untill this time and troden down their City and defaced their glory but the blood of the just hath cryed day and night under the Altar the soules of such as hath been slain for the Testimony of the word of God have cryed day and night how long Lord how long when wilt thou avenge our blood upon the heads of our enemies even the Beast the whore and the false Prophet and this hath been for many ages even while the Kingdome of Antichrist hath been set up and advanced through the world and his power and authority hath reached over Nations bond and free from the Prince on his Throne to the begger on the dunghill even all hath been subjected under the power of the Beast that nature having ruled within every particular hath given him the authority without over all and admired him and said who is able to make war with him Antichrist hath ruled over all by injustice oppression and tyranny in unrighteous Lawes and through wicked decrees old Pharoah-like he hath laid heavy yoakes and oppressive bondes upon the just for who would not be subject to him he hath had power to kill them and none was able to gainsay such hath been the greatnesse of his power and the strength of his dominion over all that none hath been able to make war against him he hath been admired in all the world not any Nation excepted where the government of Antichrist hath not borne rule and there hath been none left to bear witnesse against him or to stand up against him for the faithfull witnesses hath been killed and slain in the streets of the great City which spiritually is called Sodome and Egypt and all them that have dwelt upon the earth have made merry over their dead bodies and rejoyced in their iniquities over the slaine and been without a reprover and not tormented nor troubled but have sent gifts one to another because they have slain them who have tormented them that dwell upon the earth and the government of the Beast hath been enlarged and the whole world hath wandered after him and been in subjection under him for many generations even for fourty and two monthes he that can read let him understand so long hath it been given him to make war against the Saints and to overcome them and it hath been given him to reigne over all people in the wrath of God and in his anger because of the rebellion of all the earth and all people in it but he shall be taken away in Gods displeasure who reignes in his anger over the Nations who hath forsaken the Lord and was given up to the power of the Beast to be subjected in slavery and bondage in pain sorrow and misery and through deceit craft and pollieic and oppression and by the wisdome of this world and naturall artes and knowledge his government hath long been established and his dominion hath been upon earth times and Lawes and things and powers of men have been in his hand to change and subvert and overturne into his own image and to transforme them like to the Beast none upon earth hath bought or sold or judged or given evidence or been respected in all the world that have not had the marke of the Beast and the number of the names of Antichrist rich and poor and small and great hath received his marke as a seale of their subjection to the Beast whose many heads and many hornes hath subjected all by the force of his arme and he hath blinded the eye least men should see him and cast darknesse over all faces and the false
