the height of their expectation they shall be most miserably torn Jerusalem taken the Houses rifled the Women ravisht and half carried out for a new Captivity then will the Lord set his feet upon the Mount of Olives for their deliverance Then a Saviour shall come upon Mount Zion to judge the Mount of Esau i. e. the opposite enemy and the Kingdom shall be the Lords But to repair to the connexed Epocha of 1290 to initiate and begin 1260 we must infer that since all the forenamed roots of numeration are past without deliverance either to Gentile Churches in Europe or to Israel that we are to spring another rise and that is from the taking away of the Gospel-Sacrifice of pure Worship by a new Babilonian Monarch by a second Antiochus by the grand Antichrist who setting in the Temple of God as God hath introduced most horrible pollutions and defilements in the Evangelical Worship Now this Prince of Sin arose gradually together with the ten Kings from the year 410 when Rome was taken by Alaricus and continued increasing and waxing in his grandeur and power till that was taken away which hindred his revelation in the World which was the Roman Empire But the Roman Empire drew its last gasp and was finally and totally extirpated in the year 476 Thus divine Providence doth usually perform its mighty works gradually by distinct intervals of progress which leads us to a consideration of a 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or compass of years contained within the latitude of 66 from the year 410 to 476 in which year Augustulus was deposed So then if ye add the 1260 years we arise to 1736. About which I am verily persuaded that the great Mystery of the ruine of Antichrist will be amply manifest and visible upon the face of the earth and forasmuch as the ten last Caesars were rather Caesarculi some appointed from the East and some rising out of their mutual combustions and that the Roman Territory was exceedingly diminisht cut short in Italy by the Goths We may indeed look upon the Roman Empire as good as ruined at the death of Valentinian the third in the year 455 which by connection of the 1260 brings us to 1715 about which times the pre-consideration of the ruine of the Roman Empire conducts to the expectation of great devastations and confusions in the Papal The fuller indagation of these periods belonging to another paper I return to Israel and Daniel's computation of their times by adding 30 years more to these 1260 there with making up his 1290. So that if the 1260 do finish about 1700 or 1715 or at utmost in 1736 then 30 years after their expiration and the great conflicts with the Papal powers in the West will begin the stirs and commotiabout the Jews aud Israel in the East if then to 1736 we add 30 more they reach to 1766 the times of Israels gatherings from their dispersions and conflicts for their Country with the Nations and powers that may detain and obstruct them which times of distress and perplexity are determined to last 45 years longer which answers in some measure to the Typical remembrance of the time from their ancient coming out of Egypt till they were almost quietly settled in most parts of the Land of Canaan If then we conjoyne these 45 years more to 1766 it produces 1811 for those times of happiness to Israel for blessed is he that waiteth and cometh to 1335 days to the consumption and destruction of their enemies But how far further the finishing of the remainders of that Assyrian War when 7 Shepherds and eight principal men alluding to the King of Persia and his 7 great Princes or Counsellers of State shall be raised up for the defence of Israel how far I say those times may extend and how long it shall be to utter abolition of the Papal remnants after the 1260 days of his power are expired that is how long the Vials shall be pouring out upon him his Throne and all his Adherents in the West and upon the jurisdiction of his City when the three parts only shall remain of his 10 Principalities or how long it shall be to the utter ruine of the Turk in the East and the deliverance of the Graecian Churches and the subduing of all other powers that shall assemble and withstand the design of God in erecting the Kingdom of the Stone cut out from the Mountains of Gods Decrees without hands of humane aid or power I say how far those times of the victorious success of the Church may be amplified and extended is beyond man to dictate and determine Neither do I yet clearly see by what texts of Scripture we can distinctly proceed to chain or connex the 1000 years glory of the Church in a compleat golden link with any former expiring currents of Prophecy unless it be to the end of Daniel's 1335 or the end of the Vials and some other latent numbers not yet apparent to us in the surface of Scripture neither may we be so bold as to build upon that notion of the house of Elias mentioned by that Learned Earl of Mirandula and others for the continuation of the World in its state of misery and bondage for 6000 years according to the six days of Creation It was a current Notion in the Primitive times among the Christians applying that of Peter One day with the Lord is as a thousand years as if so be it did pre-signifie the duration of the World as I have before touched out of Justin Martyr and that the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the resurrection of the World to a Sabbath of rest and glory and felicity doth reflect upon the seventh day wherein the Lord rested from his labours and was refreshed and then the eigth day from the Creation for the resurrection of our Lord should presignify the Saints rising to glory and being for ever with the Lord in Heaven Let these hints suffice at present not willing to expatiate in gratifying our curiosity with conjectures that perhaps may not prove clearly scriptural Let 's study with the Apostle 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to be wise to sobriety and not surmise beyond what 's written Leaving the punctual particularitys of the timeing of Prophecies with the issues of Providence unto the Father in whose holy hands the signatures of all times are written Let 's be very thankful that our blessed Saviour hath so far indulged his Church as to signify by his servant John the duration of Antichrist their last and principal enemy to be 1260 years and that we may collect from evident Scripture proof that these years are well nigh expired 'T is a wonderful mercy let 's be highly thankful for this discovery and rejoice in Zion's approaching glory The Conclusion It s now high time to fix a period to this inquisition and conclude with a serious reply to such as may demand Cui bono
