A37035 A commentarie upon the book of the Revelation Wherein the text is explained, the series of the several prophecies contained in that book, deduced according to their order and dependance on each other; the periods and succession of times, at, or about which, these prophecies, that are already fulfilled, began to be, and were more fully accomplished, fixed and applied according to history; and those that are yet to be fulfilled, modestly, and so far as is warrantable, enquired into. Together with some practical observations, and several digressions, necessary for vindicating, clearing, and confirming many weighty and important truths. Delivered in several lectures, by that learned, laborious, and faithfull servant of Jesus Christ, James Durham, late Minister of the Gospel in Glasgow. To which is affixed a brief summary of the whole book, with a twofold index, one of the several digressions, another of the chief and principall purposes and words contained in this treatise. Durham, James, 1622-1658. 1658 (1658) Wing D2805; ESTC R216058 1,353,392 814

the_o cure_n follow_v this_o also_o show_v 1._o that_o there_o be_v some_o kind_n of_o bodily_a exercise_n that_o arise_v from_o a_o distemper_n of_o the_o mind_n that_o so_o faint_v and_o weaken_v the_o body_n that_o none_o can_v cure_v but_o christ_n and_o this_o of_o discouragement_n and_o faint_a be_v one_o 2._o it_o show_v to_o believer_n their_o necessity_n of_o have_v the_o word_n out_o of_o christ_n mouth_n for_o their_o encouragement_n err_v they_o can_v shake_v off_o discouragement_n he_o have_v get_v the_o tongue_n of_o the_o learned_a to_o speak_v a_o word_n in_o season_n to_o

not_o john_n fear_n to_o the_o mar_n of_o that_o 2._o it_o make_v folk_n uncapable_a of_o hear_v or_o receive_v a_o message_n from_o christ_n so_o that_o when_o he_o speak_v they_o be_v benumb_v senseless_a and_o dead_a have_v ear_n but_o hear_v not_o and_o it_o lock_v they_o so_o up_o that_o no_o word_n take_v hold_v of_o they_o christ_n allow_v not_o this_o in_o john_n 3._o it_o disable_v

and_o commandment_n of_o man_n whereby_o as_o christ_n say_v of_o the_o pharisee_n they_o do_v make_v void_a the_o commandment_n of_o god_n by_o this_o we_o may_v see_v that_o vow_n fasting_n peregrination_n adoration_n of_o cross_n and_o the_o like_a though_o never_o so_o many_o with_o never_o so_o much_o devotion_n and_o seem_a piety_n will_v never_o prove_v one_o to_o be_v of_o the_o
