With an introductorie preface, shewing that besides the accomplishment of the particular historical events, spoken of in the Revelation, which are com, ... there is a deeper mysterie, and matter of more necessarie and profitable knowledg, to bee reflected upon in the words of this prophesie; whereof also a summarie and a key, ... to bee thought upon by all the Godlie-wise in the three nations.

as_o this_o be_v a_o truth_n in_o god_n way_n towards_o particular_a saint_n in_o their_o several_a occasion_n so_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o in_o the_o universal_a dispensation_n of_o trial_n towards_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o his_o church_n his_o course_n will_v not_o be_v different_a but_o altogether_o consonant_a unto_o this_o promise_n that_o as_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n
