A42414	A resolution of three important questions (premis'd as a foundation to an intended exposition of the fourth and fifth chapters of the apocalypse) in answer to the late reverend and learned Dr. H. M. Wherein is shewed, I. That the fourth and fifth chapters of the Revelation, are properly a prophecy of things to come to pass after St. John's receiving of the vision of them. II. That by opening of the book, Rev. v. is meant, of prefigured the explaining of it. III. That by the throne in both the said chapters, is meant a throne of God on Earth, and not in the highest heaven.

since_o therefore_o it_o be_v so_o demonstrable_o certain_a that_o in_o this_o prophecy_n heaven_n be_v sometime_o take_v for_o a_o heaven_n upon_o earth_n and_o it_o can_v be_v make_v out_o clear_o that_o heaven_n where_o it_o be_v speak_v of_o as_o the_o scene_n of_o any_o action_n be_v ever_o use_v there_o in_o any_o other_o sense_n it_o follow_v that_o the_o heaven_n we_o speak_v of_o rev._n

by_o heaven_n be_v mean_v the_o high_a heaven_n must_v be_v that_o christ_n himself_o be_v not_o able_a to_o open_v the_o book_n neither_o to_o look_v thereon_o which_o be_v most_o absurd_a and_o the_o more_o because_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o god_n have_v give_v his_o son_n the_o revelation_n whereof_o the_o book_n we_o speak_v of_o be_v confess_v to_o be_v a_o part_n before_o ever_o this_o

upon_o earth_n to_o this_o the_o doctor_n answer_v that_o christ_n be_v except_v according_a as_o be_v answer_v by_o st._n paul_n in_o a_o like_a case_n 1_o cor._n xv_o 27._o but_o i_o reply_v that_o

have_v know_v what_o the_o book_n be_v or_o else_o he_o will_v not_o have_v weep_v that_o no_o man_n can_v open_v it_o but_o it_o be_v confess_v on_o all_o hand_n that_o the_o book_n be_v part_n of_o the_o revelation_n so_o that_o st._n john_n of_o all_o man_n can_v not_o be_v ignorant_a of_o christ_n worthiness_n to_o open_v the_o book_n when_o he_o know_v that_o christ_n have_v call_v he_o on_o purpose_n to_o communicate_v it_o to_o he_o object_n but_o if_o st._n john_n ignorance_n of_o christ_n worthiness_n have_v not_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o weep_v how_o come_v the_o elder_a
