and_o at_o a_o time_n when_o it_o be_v expect_v gross_a of_o man_n will_v speak_v truth_n yea_o that_o this_o do_v appear_v while_o man_n can_v in_o the_o least_o charge_n the_o die_a christian_a

whereof_o the_o most_o part_n as_o to_o these_o special_a prediction_n and_o promise_n that_o concern_v the_o church_n be_v fulfil_v and_o have_v now_o take_v place_n in_o their_o appoint_a time_n which_o we_o may_v at_o this_o day_n clear_o tead_o in_o the_o event_n and_o but_o a_o little_a part_n thereof_o now_o remain_v to_o be_v make_v out_o must_v be_v a_o sure_a truth_n but_o the_o scripture_n be_v thus_o fulfil_v and_o the_o prophecy_n thereof_o now_o make_v legible_a in_o the_o history_n of_o providence_n and_o in_o the_o work_n of_o god_n about_o his_o church_n therefore_o etc._n etc._n i_o will_v premit_fw-la hear_v some_o few_o thing_n ere_o i_o speak_v particular_o to_o this_o argument_n 1._o though_o the_o scripture_n be_v thus_o wonderful_o suit_v by_o the_o lord_n and_o take_v place_n in_o every_o generation_n as_o if_o it_o be_v alone_o direct_v to_o that_o time_n yet_o it_o be_v also_o clear_a that_o a_o special_a part_n thereof_o have_v its_o proper_a accomplishment_n in_o these_o age_n and_o period_n of_o time_n to_o which_o it_o do_v in_o a_o peculiar_a way_n relate_v some_o part_n of_o it_o which_o do_v concern_v the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n some_o that_o do_v also_o answer_v to_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o a_o part_n of_o it_o which_o have_v a_o peculiar_a respect_n to_o these_o latter_a day_n which_o the_o lord_n

and_o his_o providence_n about_o his_o church_n here_o in_o the_o world_n which_o be_v perfect_a from_o the_o beginning_n and_o before_o he_o from_o eternity_n be_v comprehend_v under_o the_o write_a

out_o the_o same_o but_o the_o event_n will_v in_o due_a time_n speak_v for_o itself_o which_o shall_v cause_v we_o until_o then_o with_o much_o sobriety_n pass_v our_o judgement_n on_o some_o of_o these_o truth_n that_o be_v not_o yet_o fulfil_v 3._o it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o prophet_n of_o old_a do_v not_o only_o foretell_v such_o great_a change_n and_o revolution_n as_o be_v to_o go_v over_o the_o church_n head_n and_o declare_v the_o certainty_n thereof_o but_o we_o find_v these_o prophecy_n oft_o point_v at_o the_o time_n and_o period_n of_o time_n whereto_o they_o do_v relate_v and_o though_o sometime_o in_o dark_a term_n yet_o do_v clear_o show_v that_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a prefix_a time_n &_o not_o at_o every_o time_n they_o can_v have_v their_o performance_n 4._o

great_a mystery_n of_o god_n in_o his_o write_a word_n be_v finish_v and_o the_o church_n so_o near_o to_o land_n that_o i_o may_v speak_v a_o little_a to_o so_o grave_a a_o subject_n i_o will_v lay_v down_o these_o two_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v 1._o how_o much_o of_o the_o scripture_n and_o prediction_n thereof_o may_v be_v now_o see_v clear_o verify_v in_o the_o event_n 2._o what_o do_v yet_o remain_v to_o have_v a_o accomplishment_n in_o these_o last_o time_n by_o which_o we_o may_v certain_o judge_v how_o near_o the_o lord_n work_n about_o his_o church_n be_v to_o a_o close_a anent_o the_o first_o i_o shall_v point_v at_o some_o of_o these_o most_o concern_v event_n &_o change_n which_o the_o church_n have_v meet_v with_o wherein_o we_o may_v see_v what_o of_o the_o
