A75736	The work of the age: or, the sealed prophecies of Daniel opened and applied. VVherein is plainly proved that all the governments in the world, except the government of Christ, are but images, or parts of Nebuchadnezzars image, and shall be suddenly broken in pieces by the little stone cut out of the mountain without hand: together with the means how Christ will effect all this. Shewing also that image-government, and image-worship have always been companions. Explaining likewise Daniels mystical numbers, and discovering some misprisions about the little horn, both in the translation and application of the same. Amending sundry places in our common translation, and clearing some chronological points from the common errours. / By William Aspinwall.

which_o be_v in_o he_o even_o so_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n know_v no_o man_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n answ_n 3_o to_o the_o three_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o holy_a council_n of_o god_n reveal_v therein_o be_v the_o effigy_n or_o impression_n make_v by_o this_o seal_n for_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n speak_v as_o they_o be_v act_v by_o the_o holy_a

describe_v and_o not_o till_o then_o answ_n 6_o to_o the_o last_o i_o answer_v that_o christ_n open_v the_o seal_n by_o produce_v the_o person_n intend_v to_o act_n in_o a_o providentiall_a way_n according_a to_o the_o eternal_a counsel_n of_o his_o father_n reveal_v in_o his_o word_n which_o be_v call_v the_o decrees-bringing-forth_a zeph._n 2._o 2_o and_o i_o may_v not_o unfit_o call_v it_o a_o providentiall_a description_n or_o exemplification_n of_o his_o father_n counsel_n thus_o christ_n break_v open_v the_o seal_n and_o then_o if_o we_o have_v spiritual_a eye_n we_o may_v discern_v each_o lineament_n or_o ingrave_a of_o the_o seal_n imprint_v as_o it_o be_v upon_o wax_n or_o clay_n answer_v line_n to_o line_n exact_o until_o which_o be_v do_v yea_o till_o christ_n begin_v to_o draw_v out_o the_o last_o line_n or_o character_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o make_v particular_a application_n of_o such_o seal_a prophecy_n wherefore_o i_o dare_v not_o attempt_v to_o make_v particular_a application_n of_o that_o little_a horn_n in_o the_o seven_o of_o daniel_n unto_o charles_n stuart_n the_o late_a king_n t●ll_a christ_n have_v first_o begin_v to_o draw_v out_o the_o last_o line_n or_o character_n in_o a_o way_n of_o providence_n thus_o i_o have_v give_v you_o the_o sum_n of_o my_o thought_n touch_v seal_v prophecy_n as_o brief_o and_o as_o plain_o as_o i_o can_v let_v i_o only_o add_v this_o word_n of_o caution_n more_o that_o key_n be_v never_o ordain_v to_o

to_o open_v these_o seal_a book_n but_o the_o lamb_n let_v we_o wa●t_v with_o faith_n and_o patience_n till_o christ_n open_v the_o book_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v see_v he_o delineate_v the_o
