A76495	The voice from heaven, come out of Babylon, my people; demonstrated to mean the coming out of the present papal Rome, and it's communion And herewith a solemn proof is given that the Papacy can survive, but eight years in the principality it yet retains. Enforced by a preface. Adjusted to the present illustrious appearances of God in the world, and particularly in this nation. By T. Beverley.

Potency where could the worlds wondering after the Beast and worshipping Him lodg within such straits of Time How would the Acclamations to Him who is like unto the Beast be spent in a Breath How would the ministry of the other Beast to him have any place Where would his War with the Saints and his Power over all Kindreds Tongues and Nations receiving his Mark c. find Room How could the City or mystical Woman arrive to those heights as to offer the Golden Cup of its Fornication to all the Princes and Inhabitants of the World or to rise to those Riches to draw such Confluency as to make its Merchants the Greats of the World Who sees not this Nut-shell of Time cannot contain the Ocean of this Prophecy Besides as we have before at large found the City is to be kept on high by the sixth seventh and eighth Kings from the days of John the Apocalyptical Prophet we know how great a Time hath run out since then we know the King that then was is long and long ago expir'd the seventh King was to endure but a short space and what short space must it then be if the eighth King or Beast was to endure but three years and a half And yet upon this eighth King was the Woman Rome to ride until its utter Desolation But it hath and doth still sit Queen since the Apostles Time to this Day and mostly upon this Beastian King how can then forty two Months if Litteral answer so long a space So that there is nothing more undeniable then that these forty two Months are to be drawn out by the Prophetical Elaboratory into Months of Years 3. When upon a just and severe Computation we find that these forty two Months prophetically expounded will reach from the very Time where according to Prophecy they were to begin down to this Time and allow for the event that is to be still expected at the end of those forty two Months not yet being come to pass and will indeed exactly touch that very period that by Prophecy is affixed to them all together It is the greatest proof of the forty two Months so to be expounded that can be expected or desired until the event justifie all Let us then proceed to an exact Calculation of the Time given us in these forty two prophetical Months and there see what length they reach The great matter in Question will be whether these Months import Time of the Sun or of the Moon for between Time of the Sun and of the Moon there will in the whole forty two Months be near thirty eight years difference But there are these three great Reasons they must according to the strict propriety of the word and Thing Months be regulated by the Moon and not by the Sun. This was always the Sense of the Scripture where ever It Reas 1 mentions Months it intends Time governed by the Moon which had as all know so great Domination over Jewish Time that the great Solemnities of their New Moons and Feasts received Law from it and It created all the Time the Scripture calls Months and because of those New Moons must necessarily do so So that if It were not so here Scripture must vary from its own use of the word throughout all other places for It hath no word that it expresses Months by but precisely taken from the Moon or the Newness of the Moon Now why It should do so here without any Reason It should do so but much the contrary as will appear what Account can be given There is nothing more evident then that this divine Prophecy keeps a strict and severe Distinction betwixt the Children of Reas 2 the day and of the Night betwixt the Witnesses the Seed of the Woman the Church and the Woman the Church it self who are all of the Day and the Gentiles and the Beasts Times who are of the Night For the Times of the former are signally measured by Days as governed by the Sun wherewith the Church is Cloathed But the Times of the latter are charactered by Months as conducted by the Moon the pale and wan Luminary of the Night which Moon the Church is said not without regard to this very matter to have under its Feet and therefore not fit to give its Character of Time. And seeing this hath been taken notice of by many Interpreters of the Revelation It is much of wonder they have not measured these Months by the Course of the Moon which Rules the Night The Latine word Menses hath made the Confusion and I know not what should mislead them but Inobservance seeing the Hebrew and Greek words exactly translated are Moons not Months which kept to had clear'd all doubts There is a third Reason which is very great and would absolutely determin this Point if it were well Comprehended and Reas 3 that is that the Sun is the great measure of Days and Years and of all Time by its superior Motion and the Moon does but borrow from it as its Light so its power of guiding and denominating any Parts of the Course of Time Even so the Church and its Seed who is Cloathed with the Sun must give Law to the Course of that Time that concerns its self and its Seed And It hath the Moon under its Feet in this respect also that it gives Laws to the Course of the Moon 's Time by its own Time so then these forty two Months of the Gentiles and the forty two Months or rather Moons of the Beast can be no other than Lunar or time of the Moon as they must being call'd Moons And so as time of the Moon must be subordinated to the account of Time by the Sun's Motion So these Months must be subordinated in their measure to the Beginning and Ending of the Twelve Hundred and Sixty Years with which they are always match'd as Correspondents viz. of the Woman the Church in the Wilderness and of its Seed the Witnesses in Sackcloth and therefore must needs be Lunar Time or Time of the Moon For if they were Months of the Sun if we might call time of the Sun Months whose very Name denotes Time of the Moon alone and self-dependent Time the False Church even as the True Church must be Cloathed with the Sun and have the Moon under its Feet which is contrary to this Prophecy But if we should attend the full dimensions of this Argument It would lead us into the whole state of the Characters of Time given in Daniel and this Prophecy which would be too large a Discourse for what is here intended and therefore I referr the searching Reader to the Treatise call'd A Scripture-Line of Time which I have made Publick and satisfie my self with what concerns the Matter in hand That the Forty Two Months of the Beast are Lunar Time and must be measur'd according to the time of the Sun or the Twelve hundred and sixty Years of the Woman in the Wilderness
