Impulse to no Impression but to Argue upon the very written Word and Letter of Scripture in compare with it self may Humbly say when these things come to pass Then you will know that by holding to the True Sense of the Testimony of Jesus by his Prophets That true sense is the Spirit of Prophecy and I have aright given it to you When you shall hear of and see a far greater Slaying these Names of Men throughout the Christian Profession than when King Henry the 8th here in England slew that i● Dis-Authorized so many Names of Abbots Priors Monks of several Orders and Distinctions of Fryars and laid them in the Dust You will then call to mind what I now make known to you and Believe This is indeed according to the Testimony of Jesus and to the Spirit of Prophecy I wait therefore to see what God will herein do and when he will begin to Work For when he will begin Nothing shall Let Him His Reward is with Him and his Work before Him Event 5. The Remnant shall be Affrighted 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 They shall be Magor-Missabibs Fear round about all Fear and so shall give Glory to the God of Heaven that is there shall be abundance of Conversions to the Power and Purity of Christian Religion So that every way the Potentacy of Rome and its Papacy and Hierarchy must Fall 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 For the Remnant All Successions of Men to the Kingdom of Christ shall Hear and Fear For They shall wisely consider Gods Doing and shall be afraid to Joyn themselves to a False Religion that God hath so Remonstrated from Heaven against And this is indeed to give Glory to the God of Heaven Event 6. The Second Woe viz. That of the Mahomet an Turks shall be wholly cessated and pass away So that the Grecian Churches however so Dark now under the very Black Wings of Antichristianism shall come out of Both Slaveries They that have lain among the Pots shall be made as the Wings of a Dove covered with Silver and her Feathers with Yellow Gold That Great Name of Power and Tyranny Grand Signior and Sultan shall be dismounted from the Hills of Constantinople on which it is seated as a Nova Roma as it ought to be that it may be a Woe on Old Rome and from that confluence of Seas and their Bosphorus in Regard of which it claims to be as the Port or Haven of the World Thus Daniel of Old prophesied of that Turkish King of the North planting his Palace between the Seas But then to the Wonder and Amazement of the World He shall come to his End and none shall help him However he is now holpen by France All shall be Removed as a Cottage or Shepherd's Tent and the Seven Asian Churches whose Candlesticks and Lights have been Covered so long under that Night shall begin again to look Bright When you see this come to pass you shall know there hath been a Scripture-Prophecy concerning it And if This be to be done by 97 how should we cry out Awake Oh Arm of the Lord Awake put on strength as in the Days of Old I come in the Second place to Argue upon the Time when This is All to be according to this very Prophecy And This is the general Expression of it After Three Days and a Half Now this may look as if the Three Days and a Half were to be fully past and ended and so nothing would be to be Looked for till 97. were fully come and past according to my Calculation of Time And then these Great Events would find place and Room for Themselves to come on But as I have always endeavour'd to make out These Three Days and a Half are Equal with the 1260 Days except only as a deep part is particularly implied when that whole and intire space is yet preserv'd and express'd And it is therefore given in Three Days and a Half by a Little Variation from Three Times and a Half that it may bear a Resemblance to the Three Days of our Lord in the Grave viz. the Evening of the First Day which is our Sixth Day or which we not so Agreeably with Scripture Language because in Gentile Times call Friday the whole of the Second which was the Seventh Day and the Jewish Sabbath and the Night till towards Morning of the Third Day which was the Jews First and our Lord's Day And this Rising was in the Night towards Morning as the Jews from the Creation Account the Night of every Day before the Day For John 20.1 we are Assur'd Early in the Morning while it was yet Dark Mary Magdalen came to the Sepulchre and found Christ Risen yet as it were on purpose to Expound to us the After Three Days and a Half here in this Prophecy This very Manner of Rising of our Lord so far as can be perceiv'd by Compare of the Evangelists as soon as ever the Seventh Day or Sabbath was past and his Third our Lord's Day but just entred he Arose This very Manner of Rising I say again on the very Entrance of the Third Day In both 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is call'd Mark 8.31 After Three Days even as here After Three Days and a Half Thus there was Liberty for a Partial Rising of the Witnesses as soon as ever it was Half Time which Fell out in Luther's Appearance 1517. exactly according to my Account of Time Then the 180 years of Half Time entred which shall therefore end 97. according to that Exactness And this first Appearance of the Reformation by Luther was like the Appearance of Christ in his Resurrection It was some Time he had been Risen how long we cannot certainly find e're it was any way known on Earth He was Risen All that Day But He was very Retired Appearing only to some very few of his Disciples as if still Dead But in the Evening even then when the Doors were shut for Fear of the Jews Christ miraculously pass'd through the shut Doors and Appear'd to the whole Eleven except Thomas and gave Them with the Solemnity of Breathing on Them the Promise of the Spirit tho the Spirit it self did not come down till Pentecost was fully come And thus I doubt not at the Latter part of Half Time tho All Doors seem now close shut and there is so great a Fear of False Jews or Antichristian Tyranny in so many places that the Witnesses cannot meet Boldly yet that Christ will make his way through all Bars And as there was a Partial Rising at the First of Half Time that hath been hitherto with much Reservedness yet All will now open in the Evening and there will be a Spirit of Life a Breathing on all the Witnesses by the Spirit of Christ tho the full pouring of it out will not be till the Kingdom of Christ in its Succession after 97. in the Days of the Seventh Trumpet when the 144000 shall appear with
