collineation_n of_o prophecy_n together_o with_o the_o plain_n undeniable_a encouragement_n of_o the_o text_n i_o be_o upon_o to_o stir_v up_o the_o earnest_a prayer_n and_o humble_a waiting_n of_o all_o his_o servant_n love_v and_o look_v for_o his_o kingdom_n to_o see_v what_o god_n will_v please_v to_o do_v this_o year_n oh_o how_o great_a will_v his_o goodness_n be_v herein_o and_o beyond_o this_o i_o will_v not_o dare_v and_o if_o the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o honour_v this_o enquiry_n with_o his_o great_a work_n i_o will_v therefore_o propose_v these_o six_o head_n to_o insist_v upon_o in_o order_n to_o so_o great_a ends._n 1._o i_o will_v consider_v what_o be_v to_o be_v say_v concern_v ninety_o seven_o with_o relation_n to_o the_o great_a event_n i_o have_v assign_v to_o it_o 2._o i_o will_v show_v that_o there_o be_v reserve_v in_o prophecy_n in_o some_o case_n within_o itself_o of_o some_o further_a time_n that_o shall_v lie_v within_o the_o most_o know_a note_a and_o expect_a time_n and_o though_o it_o reach_v out_o beyond_o it_o it_o be_v yet_o unite_v as_o one_o time_n with_o it_o and_o so_o it_o will_v be_v find_v in_o the_o time_n now_o before_o we_o 3._o this_o shall_v be_v endeavour_v to_o be_v make_v out_o that_o in_o such_o a_o case_n there_o may_v be_v find_v in_o prophecy_n a_o curious_a artifice_n or_o contrivance_n of_o the_o divine_a spirit_n of_o it_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o equipoize_n of_o it_o that_o may_v without_o injury_n to_o it_o be_v incline_v the_o one_o way_n or_o the_o other_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o interpretation_n and_o though_o that_o bless_a spirit_n the_o author_n of_o prophecy_n most_o certain_o fore_o know_v to_o which_o it_o will_v be_v by_o providence_n determine_v yet_o without_o immediate_a revelation_n from_o himself_o no_o humane_a understanding_n can_v determine_v all_o which_o shall_v be_v particular_o show_v in_o this_o instance_n between_o 97_o and_o 1700._o 4._o i_o shall_v observe_v with_o scripture-authority_n that_o when_o there_o be_v a_o delay_n of_o event_n and_o effect_n of_o mercy_n beyond_o the_o principal_a time_n most_o open_o hold_v out_o in_o prophecy_n it_o be_v call_v infraction_n or_o breach_n of_o promise_n and_o when_o providence_n retract_v what_o it_o have_v begin_v and_o give_v some_o essay_n of_o it_o be_v call_v abruption_n or_o break_v off_o what_o be_v so_o begin_v and_o that_o sin_n be_v the_o demeritorious_a cause_n in_o both_o these_o case_n and_o herein_o also_o a_o particular_a application_n to_o the_o present_a case_n shall_v be_v endeavour_v 5._o that_o the_o certain_a determination_n of_o a_o time_n accessary_a and_o in_o delay_n of_o the_o principal_a time_n be_v in_o neither_o make_v doubtful_a or_o incertain_a but_o it_o carry_v the_o more_o forcible_n assurance_n from_o the_o delay_n upon_o that_o further_a time_n and_o this_o be_v also_o reduce_v to_o the_o present_a case_n 6._o that_o the_o close_a inquiry_n into_o these_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v on_o no_o true_a account_n of_o the_o matter_n a_o blame-worthy_a presumption_n but_o encourage_v by_o scripture_n head_z 1_o st_z with_o relation_n to_o ninety_o seven_o past_a i_o must_v take_v the_o humble_a boldness_n to_o say_v i_o have_v make_v a_o review_n upon_o my_o whole_a prophetic_a scheme_n backward_a and_o forward_a and_o consider_v the_o mutual_a respect_n to_o and_o configuration_n of_o prophecy_n one_o with_o another_o and_o their_o just_a space_n of_o time_n and_o can_v find_v nothing_o that_o shall_v shake_v my_o assurance_n but_o have_v it_o much_o more_o confirm_v by_o that_o plerophory_n or_o full_a assurance_n of_o understanding_n arise_v from_o the_o whole_a prophetic_a line_n be_v from_o solomon_n death_n compact_v under_o that_o chronologic_n period_n of_o indiction_n or_o fifteen_o of_o year_n as_o i_o have_v most_o full_o in_o a_o discourse_n on_o that_o subject_a make_v to_o appear_v even_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o 1335_o day_n or_o the_o bless_a time_n so_o that_o i_o can_v remove_v from_o ninety_o seven_o as_o that_o central_n part_n of_o time_n in_o the_o prophetic_a line_n without_o distrust_v the_o truth_n of_o human_a faculty_n and_o even_o arithmetic_a demonstration_n but_o be_v very_o well_o aware_a of_o this_o great_a pressure_n upon_o i_o that_o see_v the_o great_a effect_n i_o expect_v at_o that_o time_n do_v not_o appear_v it_o must_v necessary_o be_v infer_v that_o either_o the_o word_n of_o prophecy_n which_o be_v to_o be_v abhor_v be_v not_o sure_a or_o that_o ninety_o seven_o be_v not_o the_o time_n prophecy_n have_v direct_v we_o upon_o for_o it_o can_v be_v the_o time_n if_o it_o be_v not_o illustrious_a with_o those_o mighty_a event_n as_o the_o great_a effect_n of_o vision_n on_o this_o therefore_o i_o most_o humble_o beseech_v the_o lord_n that_o he_o will_v clear_v this_o difficulty_n to_o i_o concern_v which_o i_o can_v but_o have_v great_a search_n of_o spirit_n and_o thought_n of_o heart_n and_o it_o have_v please_v he_o and_o do_v still_o please_v he_o to_o impress_n much_o on_o my_o thought_n that_o the_o three_o day_n and_o a_o half_n assign_v to_o the_o witness_n lie_v dead_a in_o the_o street_n of_o the_o great_a city_n shall_v according_a to_o the_o prophetic_a standard_n be_v as_o three_o year_n and_o a_o half_n lay_v to_o ninety_o seven_o and_o then_o shall_v those_o mighty_a work_n expect_v show_v forth_o themselves_o but_o that_o this_o may_v not_o appear_v fanciful_a or_o enthusiastic_a i_o be_o oblige_v to_o turn_v myself_o every_o way_n to_o the_o law_n and_o to_o the_o testimony_n as_o the_o prophet_n search_v no_o doubt_n throughout_o the_o sacred_a record_n to_o find_v what_o or_o what_o
