These who were pressed without the citie verse 20 and without the townes communitie who were Burgesses and indwellers Christ advertising them they listned and gaue eare to his advertisement who departed in safetie vnto Pella in the meane tyme the other wyne grapes were pressed by the armie of Titus The blood that ranne from the presse betokneth that the wrath of GODS vengeance should reach without Ierusalem and streatch it self vnto such contemners of GOD and hardned sinners and that vnto 1600 furlongs that is 1600 yeares The horse vnto whose brydles the blood ran betokeneth the furious and vntamed Heathen and tyrants that set them-selves vp against CHRISTS Kirk Psal 2. Which tyrants are like Horse Mules in whom are no knowledge of salvation Psal 32.9 who should bee cast in the great presse of the wrath of GOD vntill so long they let tame them by the brydle of the Evangel and let them bee teached and showne by the servants of the Word to serue the LORD and kisse the Sonne Psal 2.10.11.12 With 1600 Stadia or furlongs is not vnderstood the length of place but of tyme wherevnto is given three causes First CHRIST saith Luke 21.24 That Ierusalem shall bee troden vnder the feete of the Gentiles vntill the time of the Gentiles bee fulfilled Heere speaketh IESUS of the Gentiles that they should haue a time and that the Gentiles tyme should beginne when Ierusalem was destroyed which time of the Gentiles is not found written in no place of the holy Scripture how long it shall endure except only in this place Secondly This secret of 1600 stadia if it should be vnderstood according to the letter and as the words are in themselues then this 1600 stadia or furlongs maketh no more than 50 myles but now the cup of GODS wrath hath powred it selfe more at large than 50 myles about Ierusalem yea in all the corners of the whole earth therefore this 1600 stadia is not vnderstood of the place but of the tyme. Thirdly It is commonly the forme of the holy Ghost that he opneth appointed tymes definita tempora with some dark kynd of speach Daniel 4. he calleth the seven yeares seven tymes Ezek. 4. Dan. 9. hee giveth to vnderstand yeares with dayes Ezek. 47.3.4.5 there is measured 4000 cubits vntill the Evangelicall fishing where vndoubtedly is vnderstood with 4000 cubits 4000 yeares namely from the first promise of the womans seede vntill the Evangelicall fishing beganne with the fishers of IESUS CHRIST The holy Apostles heereof can be vnderstood in this place with 1600 stadia right so many yeares So indureth the Heathings appoynted tyme after this calculation vntill the Sonne of man come in his white clowd who with his Angels will reape and gather the children of men the good and fruitfull grapes in his owne citie but will cutte off the wyld grapes with his sharp sickle till the 1670 yeares The third tyme of the New Testament Namely Gogs Magogs or Mahumets and Turkes Kingdome and that for the space 1335. yeares which is ended anno Christi 1670. according to the prophecie of Daniel 12. v. 12. and Dan. 7. ver 8. IN the foresaid chapters of Daniel is written that this little horne of Gogs or Mahumets which came vp with a little beginning and stoode vp amongst the ten hornes the ten Kingdomes of the Romish Monarchs who did plucke away three of the first horns and held warres against the Sanctuarie and was for them too strong verse 11 This little horne came vp Anno Christi 335 when that Arianish heresie spred foorth in denying of the Godhead of IESVS CHRIST in that publicke assemblie of Bishops and learned till Synodo of all was consented and approved and that in the ruined Citie of Ierusalem which false doctrine of Arius was the first cause and beginning till Gogs and Mahumets successe in the world so shall the end of this Gogs Magogs or Turkes and Mahumets fall after this calculation in the yeare 1670. for 1335 added vntill 335. makes in summe 1670. Secondly There is written in the Revelalion 9. verse 14. of the foure Angels that were bound in the river Euphrates that they should bee made lowse which were prepared at one houre at one day at one moneth and at one yeare to slaye the third part of men which doublesse is vnder stood of the Mahumets tyrannie which he executed on the poore Christians in the East Lands and how he changed lawes and times for Euphrates flood is not farre from Babylon The foure Angels that are said to bee bounde in this flood or the foure Patriarchs in the East land the one to Constantin the other to Antiochia the third to Ierusalem the fourth to Alexandria which foure helped and much assisted the Kingdome of the sonne of perdition These are said to bee loused and
