A27622	A review of what God hath been pleased to do this year, according to prophecy and particularly near the 23d of the month we stile August : in the general peace, and the Muscovian and imperial victories over the Turks : with a most humble apology and defence concerning the falling short of events, of what was expected according to the interpretation of that sure word of prophecy / by T. Beverley.	Beverley, Thomas.	1698 (1698)	Wing B2171; ESTC R37111	26,001	29

Hopes or publick Testimony concerning this Year Ending and the Following Beginning First then I consider the Time of this Imperial Victory I have so far and I hope not without Great Weight Remark'd upon and I find the Imperial Army so in motion and preparation for i● by the most Certain and Valuable Intelligences we have Receiv'd of it from our 23d of August and the very Victory it self upon the 31st of that Month according to our Old Style Account within the Virge of the Prophetical Hour that I cannot but stand in Humble Admiration at it For every ●ove of the Armies to that very Day of Victory it self is to be enfolded with and united to it So that herein is in undeniable Matter of Fact an Agreement thus far in Time Obj. I know the difference of New and Old Style may be objected and that the New Style as being the Reformation of the Calendar is most Exact And that from this the Prophetical Hour in the Sixth Month and so the Imperial Victory Flyes further off by the Ten Days difference and the Peace in the Seventh Month from the Day of Attonement and Jubilee Answ 1. But in Answer to this It is nothing strange If God is pleased to neglect that Papal Reformation of the Calendar as coming within that usurpation of his Changing Times Dan. 7. 25 Who would not Reform his Changing of Laws even those Eternal ones of the Word of God Although he must needs see a Divine Hand had gone some considerable Number of Years before Him in such a Reformation by Luther and other eminent Servants of his Churches and States viz. from 1517. to 1582. But He who by his Great Works of Providence changes Times and Seasons with Supreme Right Justice and Authority or Retains them pleases to Honour the Old Style with peculiar Respect to this Protestant Nation that still uses it Answ 2. Although some Times God in his Great Works observes Time to the self same Day yet at other Times He may as he pleases make some Variation as Solomon's Beginning to Build the Temple is dated 2 Chron. 3. 2. On the second Day of the second Month from the Going of the Children of Israel out of Egypt which was on the Self-same day of the Fourteenth of the First Month This shews God sometimes is pleased to Allo● a Latitude I cannot therefore but most Humbly Adore Divine Goodness in Approaching so near with so Em●nent a Providence as so compleat a Victory over the Power of the Eastern Antichrist so Acknowledged an Enemy to the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ upon the Time Remarked by the Unworthiest Minister of his Kingdom Answ ● But it is much more considerable That the Gracious God hath by Striking that M●ck-Antichrist so near that very Day of the Cessation of the West●rn E●●●●● in the Year 476 yielding Rist to the 42 Moons of the Beast and the Ten Kings given Warning that according to the True Adjustment of Lunar Time to Solar Their Space of Reign then strictly speaking ended and that was their last August of Power and before the Coming of that Month in the following Year They shall be in Subjection to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords Answ 4. It is most Remarkable That the Effective Treaties of the Peace at Reswick and the Victory over the Turks by the Imperial Forces were very hear together by which our Wise and Holy God was pleased to show That He would dissolve that Union between the French King that would have been the whole Iron or an Vniversal Monarch as hath been said and the Brass of the Graco-Turkish Potentacy and Bring that Potentacy Low at the same time and that by both He would preserve as hath been before Argued the Ten Kingdoms of the We●●ern Empire till They shall as ●en be Overcome by the Lamb at the Expiration of their Term with the Beast now so near Expiring And it is indeed very observable That as in the disposes of our True God the Power of the Eastern Empire was Thrown early after the settlement of the Ten Kingdoms in the West out of the ●estern Empire and the Exarchate of Ravenna made to cease for many Great Services and Ends according to Proph●cy So although in a way of Iudgment God hath suff●red Mahometan parti●ularly Turkish Eruptions into it especially in Hungary and Transy●vania Yet he hath still Reprima●ded the● and the Attempts of the Greatest Princes among them as of their Magnificent Solyman upon ●enna was shamefully disgraced and from the Last Bes●iging of it in the Year 80 That Empire hath been Tottering and Shaking Be●ause t●erein it hath dared to pass the Bounds set it by Proph●cy Although it hath entered into the Holy Land Egypt hath not escaped Ethiopia hath been at its steps Yet it never could stretch its Hands as over other Countreys Or overnow to Vienna m●ch less to Rome carried Alought by the P●pal ●east This Stroke therefore hath so overtaken and surrounded the Turkish Armies in ●ungary as if God would give Testimony That at the same time He preserved the Ten Kingdoms from the Aspirings of an Vniversal French Mon●●chy by the Peace He would also Vindicate Th●m from the Overspread of a Mahometan Turkish Overfl●w In all which the wonder●ul Doings of our Great and Holy God ought to be Triumph'd in by Al● His Servants and most especially by the Un●orthiest of his Servants in the Sure Word of Prophecy as happy Forebodes of his Kingdom at the End of 97. and the ●eginning and Going on of 98 And now upon All that hath been spoken I cannot but Rejoyce in Recalling that Proph●cy I have ●ome Years ago in a former ●reatise enlarged upon Found in the Study of ●ustus L●psi●s Ann 1606. and that hath been near Fifty Years Extant in the Exposition of D● M●yer on those Books of Scripture called The small Prophets which I will again here Transcribe for more universal Notice because I Know It to be ●ounded on Greatest Reason of Scripture and Assured by the Chrono●ogy of Prop●etic Events and therefore I cannot but Think the Composer Assisted by a Prophetic Spirit The Original Prophecy Post Mille Expletos a Partu Virginis Annos Et post sexcentos Rursus ab Orbe Datos Nonagesimus octavus Mirabilis Annus Ingruet Is secum Gaudia Laeta Fcret Corruet Hoc Anno Turcarum Invisa propago Roma Tuum in Libris Fabula Nomen Erit Omnia Tunc-Ibunt Munde sursum atque Deorsum Imperia ut populos sceptra Novella premant Vtque suum cunctas Verbum Diffundat in or as Christus Imperitet Nomine Vbique suo The Translation From Virgins Son Thousand Years when Told And after them a Hundred more are Roll'd Then Ninety Eight a Year of wonders comes And Joys on Joys it heaps to vastest Summs The Hated stem of Turks that Year shall Fall Oh Rome in sacred Bo●ks Foretold Men All Shall Call thy Name that Lye Earths Empires move Their upside down
