A79857	A voice from the temple to the higher povvers. Wherein is shewed, that it is the work and duty of saints, to search the prophesies and visions of holy Scripture, which concern the later times: and that Jesus Christ will reveal the understanding of them, neer the end of their accomplishment. And so much, is here clearly proved, and the objections to the contrary answered. Also severall prophesies are here opened, concerning the time of the end; as what is the present work of the Lord in the world: and wherein the saints (whether the higher powers or others) are now to move and follow him. Likwise [sic] what will be the work of the Lord forward, and all along from year to year, till the mysterie of God be finished, both among the Christian gentiles, and Jewes. By John Canne.

antichristian_a kingdom_n for_o further_o and_o beyond_o this_o time_n i_o believe_v it_o shall_v not_o extend_v i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o the_o antichristian_o or_o member_n of_o the_o beast_n

it_o remain_v for_o ever_o in_o the_o dust_n before_o i_o come_v to_o show_v my_o reason_n for_o the_o time_n which_o i_o have_v assert_v i_o shall_v commend_v these_o three_o thing_n to_o the_o

they_o use_v to_o say_v the_o lord_n spiritual_a and_o the_o lord_n temporal_a and_o his_o left_a foot_n on_o the_o earth_n that_o be_v on_o the_o king_n and_o kingdom_n of_o the_o earth_n so_o then_o

either_o of_o monarchy_n or_o antichistime_n but_o rather_o seek_v to_o oppress_v the_o body_n and_o soul_n of_o the_o people_n under_o the_o heavy_a burden_n of_o they_o both_o 2._o thou_o be_v to_o

one_o half_a of_o that_o time_n be_v expire_v the_o supreme_a authority_n of_o this_o nation_n will_v effectual_o finish_v that_o work_n 8.6_o zech._n 8.6_o if_o it_o be_v marvellous_a in_o the_o

their_o name_n rot_v as_o other_o before_o and_o therefore_o if_o my_o counsel_n may_v be_v acceptable_a unto_o they_o when_o any_o shall_v make_v address_n to_o they_o for_o peace_n with_o babylon_n let_v they_o make_v answer_n in_o his_o word_n what_o peace_n so_o long_o as_o the_o whoredom_n of_o jezabel_n and_o her_o witchcraft_n be_v so_o many_o what_o peace_n so_o long_o as_o the_o 4_o

against_o which_o the_o lord_n call_v they_o forth_o to_o war_n and_o to_o destroy_v from_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n i_o have_v command_v my_o sanctify_a once_o 13.2_o isa_n 13.2_o i_o have_v
