A37035	A commentarie upon the book of the Revelation Wherein the text is explained, the series of the several prophecies contained in that book, deduced according to their order and dependance on each other; the periods and succession of times, at, or about which, these prophecies, that are already fulfilled, began to be, and were more fully accomplished, fixed and applied according to history; and those that are yet to be fulfilled, modestly, and so far as is warrantable, enquired into. Together with some practical observations, and several digressions, necessary for vindicating, clearing, and confirming many weighty and important truths. Delivered in several lectures, by that learned, laborious, and faithfull servant of Jesus Christ, James Durham, late Minister of the Gospel in Glasgow. To which is affixed a brief summary of the whole book, with a twofold index, one of the several digressions, another of the chief and principall purposes and words contained in this treatise.	Durham, James, 1622-1658.	1658 (1658)	Wing D2805; ESTC R216058	1,353,392	814

imputation_n of_o christ_n righteousness_n justification_n by_o faith_n etc._n etc._n be_v thing_n so_o essential_a unto_o the_o up-making_a of_o a_o sinner_n breach_n with_o god_n and_o that_o yet_o

hope_n of_o expect_v life_n and_o heaven_n upon_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o own_o work_n and_o his_o observe_v of_o the_o command_n which_o these_o their_o ground_n do_v confirm_v 1._o that_o they_o do_v compare_v his_o work_n and_o merit_n by_o it_o to_o adam_n before_o he_o fall_v and_o suppose_v this_o to_o succeed_v now_o in_o the_o room_n of_o that_o as_o in_o the_o forecited_a author_n
