WHereas Samuel Ravenshaw , of London , Bookseller , above Three Years ago , during the then Session of Parliament , did Publish a short paper , by way of Advertisement , touching a large and copious Argument , the which for near 16 years last past he has been Prosecuting ; about which he had likewise formerly , in a Latin Specimen ( whereof were only a few Copies , and those never publickly dispersed ) given some very short account ; And lately likewise , as well at Cambridg , as elsewhere , has had an opportunity more fully to Discuss the Premises .

Whereas farther , divers Learned Men heretofore , hove laid down several Principles , not only in Explication of the Prophetical Scriptures , tho the same , perhaps not yet sufficiently demonstrated , unto the Conviction of others , by pertinent matters of Fact , Numerically disposed : But Others also , as particularly the great States-man J. Bodin de Republica , lib . 4. c . 2. Ejusd . Method . Hist . cap . 6. de Conversionibus Rerumpublicarum ad Numeros collat . Jo . Bodin , have , ex professo , treated of Political Changes , on the Expirations of certain Numbers of Years .

He the said Samuel Ravenshaw hereupon , from and after long Experience , do's lay down this general Position , That the Prophetical Principles are most clearly Demonstrable by the Prophetical Numbers .

And according hereunto , That the following Numbers , viz. 2300 , 1335 , 1290 , 1260 , 666 , 490 , 390 and 40 , 144 and 70. which do Occur in the Proph●cies of Daniel , Ezekiel , Jeremiah , and the Revelation of St. John , he asserts to have been certainly Reveal'd , in Order to the Bounding of Times , and the great Revolutions therein . And that some of them , especially at some times more than at others , are of as Eminent and Vndeniable Vse , as even Vowels in Writing , or Figures in Conjunction with Cyphers , in Numeration , for the transmitting a faint Idea of some of the Divine Decrees to the World , for and during the most Material Transactions Ecclesiastical and Civil , of above 2500 years last past ; viz. by the Intervening Distances betwixt Events , formerly , by the forementioned Numbers of Years ; and Now , by the like , of Natural Days .

But because it would exceed the determin'd bounds , of a short Advertisement , to exemplifie ought , touching those Particulars ; the which , tho but briefly compriz'd together , must Necessarily arise unto a large and copious Discourse : A farther Account thereupon , touching the Premises , is reserv'd to be Verbally given , unto All Persons of Quality . Gentlemen , or Others , at the House on the Right Hand , next adjoyning to the Foot of the Stairs , going up to the House of Lords , out of the Did Palace-Yard , Westminster , at any time from and after this present Saturday , March 25. 1694. during the present Session of Parliament . The General History of the Reformation of the Church , from the Errors and Corruptions of the Church of Rome , begun in Germany , by Martin Luther ; with the Prozress thereof in All Parts of Christendon , from the Year 1517 to the Year 1556. Written in Latin by John Sleidan , L. L. D. and faithfully Englished : to which is added , a Continuation to the End of the Council of Trent , in the Year 1563. by Ed. Bohun , Esq ; with the Effigies of Sleidan , Luther , Charles V. Frederick III . Duke of Saxony , P●pe Leo X. and Phil . Melancthon . To be Sold by Samuel Ravenshaw , at the place fore-mention'd . Where Variety of other Books , by written Catalogues ; as also several Volumes of Tracts bound together , and great Numbers of single Pamphlets or Sticht Books , &c. are likewise to be sold . 1695.
