YOUR most Humble Minister , First of all Remembers , Acknowledges , and Bewails before you his Great Miscarriages , for which He confesses He is Justly a Prisoner in the Fleet ; and Humbly Begs in the Bowels of Jesus Christ Forgiveness of God , of All Good Men , and of All that suffer by Him , having Assured Hope and Faith , that God will yet Restore Him to an Ability to do Right to All ; and that , in the Prophetical Ministry , He hath committed to Him

For He Avows before you , as in the Presence of God , that He is not a Person Seduced either by Fanaticism or Phantastry ; but that God hath in an ordi●… ry ( in which , He is Assur'd , There is yet an Extraordinary ) way Summon'd his Mind , and Thoughts , to Contemplate that Great Prophetical Frame , ●… d Scheme of the Grand Futurities , Relating to his Church , and to other Nations , as concern'd in his Churches Conditien , especially in the Decur●… nce of the Four Monarchies from the Babylonish Captivity , to the Kingdom of Christ ; concerning which God hath planted in his Word of Truth , according to ●… ophecy , a Line of Time in express Numbers from Cyrus to that Kingdom , as He had before by History Given that Line from the Creation to Cyrus .

And concerning the Truth of this Line , Your most Humble Minister , as He Appeals to God , concerning the Sincerity of his Conscience , that He hath 〈◇〉 Line by Scripture made Known to Him ; So He Appeals to this High , and Honourable Assembly , to All the Eminent Bishops , or Seers , to all the Ministers of ●… e Gospel , or to any Persons of Scripture Reason , Sagacity , and Learning ; that the Greatest Events Relating to the Jewish Church from Cyrus s Decree for ●… eir Restoration until the Death , Resurrection , and Ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ , the True Messiah ; and from thence ( Taking in the Desolation 〈◇〉 the Jews , by Titus Vespasian , and after by Hadrian ) to the Empire Becoming Christian from Constantine to Theodosius the Great ; and so Antichristianizing , till ●… e Abdication of Augustulus ; And the Gradual Risings of the Papacy , to a Supremacy , and so to its Number 666. viz. Ann. 725. Excommunicating ●… perors .

But then Vengeance from Heaven Arose upon it ; first , by the Saracens , then by the Turks , Inspir'd by the False Prophet Mahomet , an Antichrist , set up by ●… d in Wrath , Counter to the Pseudo Christian , False Prophet , and Antichrist the Pope ; and it yet continues as It is to continue till the Fall of the Papacy ; The Taking 〈◇〉 Constantinople , and the Reformation soon after followed ; All which are to be found , just as your Minister could desire , in such Lively Prophetical Fi●… es , and Land-scaphs , Given in Scripture ; and Each in their just Time and Season ; So then They Falling neither by Artifice , nor Violence , but with Natural , Free , and Spontaneous a Co-Incidence , One within Another ; Your Humble Minister looks upon them , and Appeals to so Honourable Judges of ●… son , and Truth ; and to all that are such , throughout the Nation concerning Them , whether They are not Infallible Proof of such a Prophetical Scheme ●… d Line of Time according to Scripture .

Accordingly He hath with a Confidence Becoming so Great an Authority , Assur'd of very late Times the unsuccessfulness of any Attempt to Re●… ce Popery into These Nations ; upon which very Account , the Great late Revolution had so stupendious an Introduction ; On it Followed the special ●… termination of Prelacy in Scotland , most Agreeable to Prophecy , as He declar'd at that Time .

The Reduction of Ireland under a Protestant Supreme was to Follow ; On Account of which , was ; That so Amazing Preservation of London-Derry ; The Sur●… zing Victory at the Boyne ; and yet the Stop of Things there ; ( For according to Prophecy , the Settlement of Protestancy there is to be flower , and yet the ●… gress is Hopeful now ; ) The even Miraculous Atchievments of so small a Number of the Suffering Witnesses of the Vaudois , now Standing on their Feet , ●… d to All this , He Adds the most Providential Change ( and is Bold to Call it ) Revolution of Bishops in this Nation , as a Great Preparation for a Re-Reformation , ●… d a Change of the Church of Christ , and particularly in England to a Philadelphian Church , and at whose Feet , even They are to Bow ; For though it is most ●… ue , Prophecy does not descend to such Particulars as these ; yet by the General Prophetical Types , either of the Churches , or of Nations , Particulars may be ●… gd , by being Brought to their Generals ; and accordingly your Humble Minister hath thus Prejudg'd .

And now upon such a wonderful , and even undeniable Configuration of Prophecy , with so Periodical Events , so many , and so in their exact order , which 〈◇〉 hath made publick , as far as He could Attain ; And upon much more , He hath seen beyond the Power of Publication ; And Much more than All that 〈◇〉 Humbly Acknowledges , is yet to be discover'd , He does ( as He hath done already in Your Last Assembling ) with Great Assurance , declare to you ; that this very Year , There shall be a most certain Spirit of Life from God , Beginning to work in the Suffering Witnesses of the Vaudois and French , as a Morn●… Star Dawning , and a Rod of Iron put into their Hands ; a Retrenchment of the Frecnh King to his own Figure , but of a Tenth in that Complex of Kings , ●… t till the Reformation gave together their Kingdom to the Beast ; That a Boundary shall be set to the Turkish Tyranny , that It shall not overflow , and 〈◇〉 shall stand , till the Papacy first Fall : That Ireland shall be in a Progressive Motion to Protestant Settlement ; That the KING shall Return with Victo●… and Success ; And Lastly , That the Ten European Kings shall very speedily Hate the Church of Rome , which Prophecy calls the Whore ; on which the Pa●… shall Fall , and soon after the Turk shall be dismounted from the Grecian Imperialism ; All Protestant Churches , and particularly in this Nation , notwith●… ding the present Face of what is call d the Church of England , and notwithstanding the Bold Appearance of Atheism , and Prophaness shall be in a ●… ndency to that Great Re-Reformation to be expected in the Succession of the Kingdom of Christ at 1697. even a Philadelphian State ; to which the Prelati●… , and Ceremonialism of the Sardian Pompous Church , and the They of the Synagogue shall Bow . For besides the Change in Nations , and Governments , ●… e Months of the Apostasie , that was to be in the last State of the Roman Fourth Monarchy , then Expiring ; ) There shall be a Pouring down of the Spirit from 〈◇〉 high , in All its Miraculous Gifts , and Graces , a Return of the Apostolic Times or the Truely Primitive Christian Church , a Preaching of the Everlasting Go●… to All Tongues , and Languages according to the Prophetic Style of Universal Monarchy , Dan . 3. and then a sudden Appearance of the Glorious Kingdom of Christ .

Now seeing nothing can be more Honourable to Christian-Protestant Religion , and to the Sacred Volumes , wherein it is contain'd , than a due Research Prophecy ; Because the Supreme Truth , and Glory of them above False Religion , and Irreligion under which they now sink in Appearance , depends up●… the Fulfilling of Prophecy : Seeing a Line of Time Co-extended with Prophecy , ( even as All Agree , There is with Inspired History , ) Adds both Dignity , ●… d Credibility to it ; and that if there be such a one , nothing can be of Greater Direction , or more Animate so Eminent a Protestant Nation , and so deeply ●… erested at such a Critical Time , as This is , wherein the Almighty Efficacies of Providence are Bringing forth Prophesies into their High Effects . Seeing , ●… stly , God hath been pleas'd to enable your Humble Minister , however most unworthy , to Appeal to all Understanding , that He hath found such a ●… e ; and that Predictions according to it , and the Ponrtrayings of Prophecy upon it have so far been Comprobated , and that there is very Great Assurance Him , that the Almighty will Justifie the present Prenunciation by the Result , and Issue of this Summers Expedition . Let it please so Honourable a ●… ristian - Protestant Assembly to Intercede with the KING and QUEEN , to whom a Like Address hath been presented , that a Remark of Favoor , ●… d Support in producing that Scripture Line in Full , and , as It is Adorn'd by the Holy Spirit , with all its Prophetical Sculptures , and for the Comple●… nt of that Service may be set upon your Minister herein ; which Ministery will be , however now neglected , Every day , both more useful , and ●… re valueable : And if so , It will be a memorial of Honour to You in the Approaching Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ ; For Ezekiel's Four Wheels , 〈…〉 same with Daniel's Four Monarchies , have now near Finish'd their Course , and to the last , and that in the Last Turn of it ; viz. The French Antichristianizing ●… er ; it is said , I Humbly Declare it , in my Hearing , according to Ezek . 10.13 . Oh Wheel MENE TEKEL . In the mean Time , that your next more ●… emn , and Stated Assembling , may be made Joyful , and Great , by the Fulfilling of the Prediction of this Summers Success , according to the the Prophetical ●… e , He hath been Bold in God to make , shall be the Restless Prayer of
