Conteining sundrie singularities, worthie of observation, concerning courses of times, and revolutions of the heauen, and reformations of kalendars, and prognistications: with a discourse of prophecies and signes, preceeding the latter daye, which by manie arguments appeareth now to approch. With a godlie admonition in the end, vpon the words of the Apostle, to redeeme the time, because the dayes are evill. By M. Robert Pont, an aged pastour in the Kirk of Scotland.

bring_v not_o the_o 11._o year_n of_o zedekiah_n to_o a_o just_a sabbaticall_a year_n with_o out_o any_o superfluous_a odd_a year_n and_o so_o for_o the_o back_o reckon_v of_o year_n to_o the_o
