were so many milder blasts of Gods wrath for the Dragons or Heathen Emperours Persecutions of the Saints before as is very probable for about 200 years to about An. Dom. 600. or after from which time the two following more terrible VVoe-Trumpets of the Saracens and Turks ch 9. have for above 1000. years more proceeded to execute the more terrible wrath of God upon the Eastern Roman Empire until at the end of the second VVoe or at the beginning of the seventh Trumpet or third VVoe the whole Empire according to Balaams Prophesie Numb 24.24 shall perish for ever or as St. John expresseth the same thing Rev. 17.12 shall go into perdition then So 2. For the true Churches regular state measured Rev. 11.1 until the Beasts time when she was said to have the Moon under her feet and in respect of her suffering state until then and for that little time under Constantine and Theodosius reigns c. after which by Heresies her sufferings returned as by the Dragons flood c. until about 420. or more when it appears the said Beasts 42. moneths for his treading under foot the holy City began with the said two Sack-cloth VVitnesses 1260. dayes of years and the said VVomans VVilderness state all to end before the VVhore of Babylons burning and a little as appears before the said Beasts last destruction at the Armageddon Battle Rev. 16. said to be the great day of God Almighty from Ezek. 39.8 and to be executed as Rev. 18. 19 ch And do not these mystical discoveries now also concur with those more noted marks of our Saviour that iniquity should abound and the love of many should wax cold and do not St Peters Atheistical scoffers at true Religion in these times plainly shew themselves and doth not the prevalency of Profaneness and of the abominable wickedness of the soul and unclean spirit also sadly appear in these dayes and openly and shamelessly manifest themselves whose great endeavour hath been 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in the latter times 1 Tim. 4.1 to set up the name of Christ against the Doctrine of Christ as respecting the judgment So 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in these last dayes 2 Tim 3.1 by a form of his Religion to obstruct the power thereof in the VVitnesses of it as respecting the affections and by such a tw●-fold Antichristianisme to promote by degrees any even the worst of evils Rev. 13.17 Esa 66.5 from all which evidences and the like all serious and judicious persons may easily upon due consideration discern that our said belief of the neer approach of Christs said appearance hath many Divine Foundations laid by the Spirit of God in holy Scripture to rest it self upon in all such wayes of Discovery as the most wise and gracious God hath been pleased in some latitude to make known to us although neither the day nor hour nor yet the moneth or year can by man be determined I might have added want of Faith of these things as in Assert 10. of our Key Hence let all vain Worldly Prophane and Unregenerate Persons be admonished speedily to seek the Lords Face by true Conversion unto him by Faith and Repentance before that little space be spent c. 2. Let all real Saints act first more earnestly in studying Unity in all that is truly good avoiding unnecessary Dividing Principles and Practises 3. Be much in the exercise of sincere piety in the sight of the heart searching God and labour to promote it in others c. 4. Be more earnestly exercised in Charitable works 1. For the good of the souls 2. For the good of the bodies and persons of all sorts and condit ons of men And 5. Labour to exercise very great moderation in all worldly and temporal now fading things And Lastly Let all men be admonished not to deceive themselves or others with a groundless expectation of such an excellent and happy spiritual Church-state and times before that world to come at Christs said appearance save what may sometime be upon the finishing the Ascention of the slain Witnesses But until that new state begin we spake of the obstinacy of the Jews and prophane Apostacy of the Gentiles are like in the general to obstruct such said Expectations until at Christs second comeing they be powerfully and graciously removed according to the many ancient Promises and Prophesies But all judicious persons may hence observe upon many evident Foundations laid down briefly in our Introduct with this Appendix to it how all the said Curious work in Christs Divine Key doth admirably inform us in these three things viz. in the quo the quando the quandiu all respecting that time and state the first the quo two wayes 1. As to the predictions of what is then to take place privatively for the removing of evils And 2. Positively as to the performance of promised mercies to the Fathers c. 2. For the quando when they shall begin as by this Appendix is many wayes manifest namely at the Beasts and Gogs last ruine Ezek. 39.8 and at the last Vial for then 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 it is done when Satan is to be bound and Christ will begin to reign with his Saints at the Renovation of all things Rev. 21.5 in his Mediatory or Davidical Kingdom for that 1000. years of which largly Restit p. 61 62. And 3. For the quandiu especially observe how Divinely and wonderfully exact Christs Determination thereof is as was shewed for 1000. years most plainly for years in Scripture are alwayes litterally taken though moneths and weeks and dayes were in this book before used often Prophetically the whole number of 1000. is never used but for it self as Pareus observes and both of them are here three times applyed both positively and relatively First positively to Satans binding 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a thousand years and then Relatively 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 those thousand years v. 2 3. 2. So to the suffering Saints Resurrection they reigned with Christ 1000 years but the rest of the dead lived not until those thousand years were ended v. 4 5. 3. So again to illustrate the happiness of that their estate for that long time 1. They are said to be Blessed 2. Holy 3. Secured 4. Highly honoured to be Priests to God and Christ 5. Invested with Sovereign Authority and that with Christ all that while Satan is bound v 6 7. These Scripture Truths are so wonderfully illustrated and Authorised by God the Father Christ and the Holy Spirit as no other part of the Gospel is and how men will henceforward to whom these things are represented be able to answer their not owning of them with the Truths annexed to them as in our six Conclusions Restit p. 17 18 19. I know not God grant they may duly weigh the same aforehand and render the due glory to Christ for these Divine Truths respecting the Gospel of his said Kingdom and the glorious excellencies and happiness thereof for his said suffering Saints shortly to take place Amen HEnce two of his Majesties very considerable Questions may strongly be resolved namely 1. That the Roman Monarchy viz. the Feet and Toes thereof in the two-fold Beast the Papacy will end about 20 years hence at Christs Appearance c. And 2. That it appears from Daniels Numbers That at the end of his 70 Weeks ch 9. the Kingdom of the Stone begins about Christs Ascention when he Triumphed Spiritually to continue 1666. years to the same period with the said 2300. Dan. 8. and with divers others said Numbers when Christs visible and glorious Triumph will be in the world over all his great Enemies therein by making them his footstool To the third material Question we shall add That all the time from Christs first comeing to his second is set forth by the last times in sacred Scripture not only as was then said in reference to that usual expresion in the Old Testament באחרית-הימים in the latter or postremity of days as Jacobs applying it to Shiloe's coming Gen 49. Jeremies to the Jews Conversion at his second comeing c. 30. ult and so often also to many things in the interim betwixt both and the like is observable of Daniels בעת קצ in the time of the end which is the same with the times of the Gospel as Dan. 11.36 37 38 39 40. and Dan. 12.4 9. which times Christ in the Revelation divides into these three of the Dragon or Heathen Emperours 2. Of the two-fold Beast or Papacy and 3. Of his own Kingdom in the World the 1000 years c. In page 16. line 4. of Introduct read Priestly not Prophetical FINIS
