           presently
           fell
           off

           and
           grew
           a
           Persecutor
           :
           then
           spread

           that
           all
           the

           this

           That

           But
           Daniel
           might
           say
           ,
           if
           the
           Booke

           how
           shall
           the
           Truth
           come
           to
           bee
           knowne

           Many
           shall
           runne
           to
           and
           fro

           finding
           it
           out

           and
           at
           last
           this
           Truth

           And
           certainely
           it
           is
           the
           
             Antichristian
          
           yoke

           doth
           hide
           this
           Truth
           .
           Men
           dare
           not
           whisper
           of
           any
           truth

           But
           when
           there
           comes
           to
           be
           
             liberty
             of
             Churches
             ,
          
           and
           that
           men
           may
           freely
           search
           into
           this
           truth

           The
           fourth
           Reason
           is

           because
           in
           the
           last
           verse

           in
           the

           a
           description
           of
           the
           glorious
           estate
           of
           the

           which
           ordinarily
           is
           applied

           But
           there
           is
           a

           these
           things

           you
           shall
           finde
           that
           the
           Kings
           and
           Princes
           came

           Now
           that
           the
           Kings

           to
           make
           Heaven
           glorious
           ,
           there
           is
           no
           likelihood
           in
           that

           Thus
           there
           are
           these
           Prophesies
           to
           be
           fulfilled

           a
           time

           And
           why
           should
           we
           think
           it
           much
           ?
           Let
           us
           but
           consider
           the
           great
           Designes
           that
           God
           hath
           in
           honouring
           of
           his
           Saints

           the
           World

           and
           we
           have
           not
           cause
           to
           thinke
           much
           of
           such
           a
           truth
           as
           this
           :
           for
           hereafter
           in
           Heaven
           
             Christ
          
           will
           be

           before
           his

           But
           how
           will
           Ch●ist
           be
           honoured
           before
           all
           the
           World
           you
           will
           say
           at
           the
           day
           of
           Judgement

           But
           onely
           at
           that
           time
           so
           long
           as
           the
           wicked
           shall
           stand
           for
           their
           sentence
           ?
           Doe
           we

           further

           his
           Saints
           to
           be
           honoured
           but
           just
           then
           ?
           
             God
          
           intends

           honour
           
             Christ

             Christ
          
           hath
           purchased
           a
           glorious
           Condition
           by
           humbling
           himselfe
           so
           low
           to
           the
           Death
           of
           the
           Crosse

           and
           therefore
           was
           promised
           the
           Heathen
           for
           his
           Inheritance
           ,
           and
           the
           utmost
           parts
           of
           the
           Earth
           for
           his
           possession

           and
           this
           must
           bee
           given
           in
           due
           Time

           and
           
             God
          
           is
           pleased
           to
           raise
           the
           hearts
           of
           his
           People
           to
           expect
           it
           .
           And
           those
           that
           are
           most
           humble
           ,
           most
           godly
           ,
           most
           gracious
           ,
           most
           spirituall

           searching
           into
           the
           Scriptures

           have
           their

           expectation
           of
           this
           .
           And
           it
           is
           not
           like
           that
           that
           work
           of
           the

           But
           
             God
          
           is

             God
          
           is

           (
           I
           hope

           We

           find
           no
           such
           promise

           acknowledge
           the

           this
           Question
           ,
           how
           these

           propounded
           for
           our

           Truly
           (
           Brethren

           we
           hope
           it
           is
           not
           long

           begin
           to
           be
           revealed
           so
           much

           A
           day
           is
           usually
           taken
           for
           a
           yeare

           many
           dayes

           so
           many
           yeares
           it

           All
           the
           question
           is
           about
           the
           beginning
           of
           the
           time

           This
           abomination
           of
           desolation

           in
           
             Julians
          
           time
           360.
           because
           then
           
             Iulian
          
           would
           set
           up
           the
           Temple
           againe

           was
           destroyed

           in
           despight
           of
           the
           Christians
           ,
           and
           would
           set
           up
           the
           Iewish
           Religion
           againe
           :
           That
           was
           the
           abormination
           of
           desolation

           the
           whole
           Iewish
           Religion
           was
           not
           consumed
           till
           that
           time

           Now
           reckon
           so
           many
           yeeres
           according
           to

           1650.
           and
           it
           is
           now
           1641.
           and
           that
           place
           for
           the
           abomination
           of
           desolation
           is
