A MEMORIAL OF THE KINGDOM OF OUR Lord jesus Christ NEAR APPROACHING; Declaring according to Prophecy, and Advising upon the State of Princes and Nations, and of these Nations in particular, what our Israel ought to do, in Order to it; Most Humbly, and yet with the Authority of Sacred Prophecy, Presented to the KING, and to the QVEEN, and to the High Court of Parliament, and to All the Judges of the Nation.  By T. Beverley, a most Humble Reader in the Prophecies of Jesus Christ. 
IN the first place, I look upon it as my duty, to Produce my Credentials before so Awful an Authority, to whom all Honour, Reverence, and Humblest Obeisances according to the Ordinance of Christ, are from Me most due; Even as from Them unto the Author of Prophecy, The King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.  
The Credentials I Lay before this August Presence is; 
Revel. 19.10.  The Testimony of Jesus concerning Things yet to Come to Pass, however Received, is the Spirit of Prophecy.  
The Angel, whose words these are, was the Premier Minister of Prophecy from Christ, to the Apocalyptical Apostle John; John would therefore have Worshipped Him; He Refused it upon this Account, beside other Great ones; The Testimony of Christ in Prophecy, Received by John, gave John an equal Character in the main with Himself, the Angel: Because the Principal Character in Prophecy is the Testimony of Jesus in any Point of Prophecy.  
Even so, whosoever are Guided by God into the True Sense of Scripture Prophecy are therefore, and so far as They have indeed the Mind of Christ in his Testimony, Equal, even with the Apostle, and with the Angel in the Spirit of Prophecy; Seeing the Testimony, and not the Ministry of the Testimony, is the Spirit of Prophecy; that is, not only of the Supreme, but of the Alone Authority; and All the Ministers in that Testimony are Brethren and Fellow Servants.  
Now that God hath been pleased of his own Free Grace and Pleasure, and because so hath it Seemed Good in his Sight to vouchsafe to me, I Humbly, and Hearty Acknowledge to the Shame, and Confusion of my Face (before so Awful Supreme Powers on Earth), the Chiefest of Sinners; He hath been pleased on the most Earnest, and Constant Attendances upon the Prophecies of his Word for these Seven Years last passed, by Meditation and Prayer, and by Compare of the Grander, and most Indubitable Revolutions of the World, to vouchsafe to me a Clear and Consistent Table of Prophetical Scripture, in Analogy to all Scripture, and to which Those Revolutions have Answered, even as Face Answers to Face in a Glass; So that Having such a perfect Scheme in Agreement with Event, I must needs have the same Assurance that I Have of the Analogy of Faith, so Admirably Consenting with all True Reason; Or that Anatomists have of the Compage of Humane Bodies, or Astronomers of the Heavens, Although I easily Acknowledge there is much more to be known, than I have Attained, or can Attain, although I press forward yet with all my Might.  
I have therefore made several Appeals in public to All the Learned in Scripture, in Chronology, in History, to show the Inconsistences of the Scheme in Any part, and have not yet Found Any, either so concerned for some Injured Truth in any of Those Discourses, (besides the Charity due from Christians to Any one in Error) or for their own particular Sentiments, that would undertake to convince it of Absurdity; Although in the late Reign, One particular Printed Writing, Grounded on that Scheme, Immediately directed against the Roman Communion, Entitled, The Call of God out of Babylon was of so Public a notice, as that some Books were seized from my own Hand by the then Officers of the Press, and as they said, to be carried to the Council; And although I have presented some Parts of Them to the Bishops: Particularly, One called The Reformation to be Reformed. And I still Place myself at the same Judgement Seat.  
My Second Credential is, That of the Prophet Jeremiah; When the Word of the Prophet is Come to pass, 
Jerem. 28.9.  Then shall it be known, that the Lord hath sent Him. I therefore Appeal to Three Great Events, wherein Providence hath Set to its Seal, that I have Truly Judged according to Grounds of Prophecy.  
1. That I have Freely, and as Publicly as I could, declared, that when All Things seemed to be moving towards it, It would be wholly Impossible to Re-Inslave these Nations, which were by the Reformation, such an Eminent Appearance of Christ from Heaven, Rescued from the Papal Tyranny; And I thought it my Duty to pray as publicly as I had opportunity, for the Conversion of that our then Prince, as being Assured, He must else by Death, or some mighty Hand (as it Fell out) be Removed from the Government within a short Time; His Administration being Intolerable to Prophecy, in the measures which He was so Resolved to take; And in the very Spring before his Removal, the Epistle to the Reader in that Forementioned discourse, the Call out of Babylon, I thus concluded; And as for All Ambidexters Two Handed Achilophelians or Judasses', who think to find it in their Account to be on both sides; as They are now the private Scorn and Despisal of the Age, so in Future Records, and not long hence, They will stand as Pillars of Salt; which how soon after, it came to pass in some very Remarkable Persons, we All know, and who in modesty to some Dead, and some Living, are not to be named.  
2. The Second Event is, What the Nation hath made Public Acknowledgement of in a Solemn Thanksgiving. This Summer's Expedition into Ireland of a Sovereign, Established not only by Civil Sanction, but by Prophecy on the Throne of the Former Prince Removed.  
Now as to this Expedition by a Memorial presented just before it, and I Hope still in many Honourable Hands of Those, to whom I most Humbly present this, It was according to Prophecy predicted.  
1. That the King's Personal Presence with his Army in Ireland should be for his Honour: And in Answer to this, It may very well be called into doubt, whether ever any Prince or General Acquired Greater Glory, according to the Laws of Warlike Glory upon his own Personal Fortitude: But Prophecy teaches us to Ascribe that Glory wholly to God, as the Supreme Man of War, (as Moses styles Him) in that Action; and to Reserve only the Reflection, which is indeed Greatest Honour, to the King, whom God Commanded not to Fear.  
2. It was predicted, That God would make it Appear, He had Commanded Him, and would by no means Forsake Him, but would be with Him, as in his Coming into England, and would Return Him with Victory.  
And thus it hath come to pass, The King is Returned with the Solemn Thanksgiving of the Nation to God, and universal Acclamations to Himself; And if any are otherwise minded, They are, as in a degree, Silent in Darkness; For God hath been pleased to pass the King safe, as through a thick Wood of Deaths, to Cover His Head as by Miracle in the Day of Battle; So to Poise the Motion of that Messenger of Death, That it came so near, as it were to Tell Him, and All that Herd of it; It could Go so far, and no farther.  
And as to the Success of the Expedition, It is such, as that the Principal City, and therewith the Supreme Civil Power was immediately, and so continues de Facto vested in the King. And as a Seal of it; the Former Prince God Removed from that Nation, even as from this, to declare Him the Second Time, Intolerable to Prophecy; And as to the delay of a perfect Conquest over the Irish, though Ireland be in a daily Motion of Self Restitution under the Freest and Fullest Protestant Government since the Reformation, Yet It is to be considered as under another Position of Prophecy, than England, or Scotland, (the Natives having been so devoted always to the Papacy) until nearer the Great Revolution, the Kingdom of Christ in Succession at 97. that it will be in a less entire Settlement.  
3. It was Affirmed according to Prophecy; That God would Secure the King's Interests in this Nation during his Absence; And How even to Amazement was this done in the most Peaceable, and even most Serene Administration of the Supreme Government by the Queen! and in sending that Enemy upon the Coasts back again, even after some Success, and Insolences of Appearance, without effect in the main! and notwithstanding a design laid so sure, that it was thought Impossible by the Designers, (as some expressed Themselves,) without Miracle, The Government should not Revolve on King James. And in all this I have often declared, God working for His own Names sake, that is, for the Kingdom of Christ's sake, would pass over the mighty Provocatians of the Nation, as is well known to us, He hath done, in all, He hath done for us.  
3. A Third Great Event, which gives me Assurance; God hath vouchsafed me a True Judgement in Prophecy, is; That in the Beginning of the Summer in 87. When the Turkish Affairs gave such a Prospect of the Ruin of that Empire; and as I expressed it, the Turkish Fall seemed to be on the Wing, yet I did with all Freedom, and yet with due Modesty in Honour to the Christian Name, Declare, and Publish, as is yet to be seen; That That Ruin or Fall could not be, till the Tenth, or Ten Kinged Supremacy of the Great City of Rome should fall; that the Turkish Woe might pass away so, as that the Antichristian Apostasy, on which it was, and is a Judgement, might be first so Animadverted upon by God, that the Sinful demeritorious Cause, and the Judicial Effect might pass off together.  
Now how strangely that Turkish State hath been Reprieved from Ruin, notwithstanding the so many Stupendious Imperial Victories, and its Intestine Confusions; and how God hath given it the dreadful Face of a Woe again, is worthy the Consideration of All that Bear the Name of Christians, whether Roman or Reformed. And till the Forty Two Months granted to the Beast shall be at an End, viz. 97. It's Constantinoplitan PORT shall not be DE-PORTED; Although this Just now Re-Appearance of that Mahometan Force as a Woe, and with Terror is very contrary to the declared Judgement of an Apocalyptic Interpreter of our own Nation, so Venerable, and so Learned, that I defer every Thing to Him, but only this; That in many very Great Points, He hath missed the True Key of that Prophecy.  
Now seeing in All Great Predictions (against which there are Confident Prejudices, that They shall not come to pass) Those prejudices are as shutting the Mouth of the Prophet, that He shall not be so much heeded, even in his General Discourses, but styled a Fanatical, or Brainsick person; As God told Ezekiel when he was to foretell the Destruction of Jerusalem, which the Jews thought impossible, They should lay Bands upon Him as on a Madman: 
c. 3.25. c. 33.22.  And this Generally continues, till the Great Event Fullfilled, as it also Befell Ezekiel, till the City Taken, as in Symbol: So possibly I must wait for that Great Opening my Mouth with Authority, until 97, or near it, if God should please so Long to sustain me.  
But yet as Ezekiel Prophesied at God's Opening his Mouth, even all along as we find, till the City taken; And he that would, might Hear, and He that would Forbear, might, until then, Forbear. So upon God's thus far Opening my Mouth, by Ratifying my Predictions with so very notable Events; I look upon it as my duty to present to the Supreme Authority, and Council of the Nation these Assurances beyond what I have assured upon the same Grounds.  
1. That the Aspiring of any of the Ten Kings of this Formerly Western-Roman-Empire, to an Universal Monarchy, contrary to that variety of Supreme Kingdoms, God hath fixed in It, under the Emblem of Ten Toes in Nebuchadnezzar's Image, 
Dan. 2. c. 7. Rev. 13.1.  and Ten Horns on the Head of the Fourth Beast, viz. The Roman Monarchy, in his Vision of the Four Beasts, (and which the Apostle John saw Crowned;) This Tenfold division is so settled by God, that It cannot be changed, until, As They in Ten such Supremacies have Given their Power, and their Kingdom to the Papal Beast as a Spiritual Universal Monarch, that is, an Universal Monarch in an Image, as the Prophecy expresses it; So in the same Ten Kingdoms, as some have already, They All shall Hate the Whore, or Roman Church, and so Recall their Power from the Beast.  
As therefore the House of Austria Aspired, and Fell Low in Power, and Reputation in this Thirst after an Universal Monarchy; Even so shall France; And as the dissipation of the Spanish Armada against England, was one very Remarkable Turn of the Scale, with Relation to the House of Austria, even so shall the French Attempts against England be Remarked.  
2. The French Protestant Churches cannot be long without some Redress, because the Time of the Antichristian Apostasy is now so near its end: From whence, and not from the Three Years and half of the Witnesses lying dead, I collect this Assurance; For I always looked upon that as a mistaken Interpretation, however espoused by the Two so Learned and Reverend Persons Monsieur Jurieu, and the Forementioned Interpreter of our own Country.  

Revel. 2.18. etc.  But I look upon the Church of Thyatyra, as the Emblem of those Churches of the Protestation, that lie in the Bowels of Princes who yet own Antichristian Rome; of which there is none so eminent, and conspicuous, as the French Protestant Churches, either for the Greatness of their Body, or for their Former Vindications of Themselves, or for their Great Sufferings, with whom the Vaudois are Allied; Now it is said, Their Last Works shall be Greater than their First, and as their Sufferings, so shall Their Vindication be; and They shall see the First Rising of the Morning Star to the Day of the Kingdom of Christ in Succession, from whence I conclude; Their Deliverance is very near, and They shall Break their Papal Oppressors, as with a Rod of Iron in their Last Works.  
3. Seeing there is an Extraordinary Concurrence of Gracious Signatures of God upon our present Sovereign, There is Great Hope God will stir Him up to Appear at this Time in so Honourable a Service, as Scripture styles it, as of Helping the Lord against Those Mighties; And if God be pleased to stir Him up, He will undoubtedly Appear with Him; For I am Bold in our God to say, I shall not be mistaken in our King, as to some Extraordinary Service God hath to do by Him, the Time being so near; although Mr. Mede of a most Honourable Memory for his Apocalyptic Key, was in that ever Noble Gustavus Adolphus, the time being then so much further off; and that on these Great Reasons.  
1. That He is the Third Descendent of that Great Prince of Orange, by whom God was pleased in the United Provinces to propagate the Protestancy, and to give that Curb to the grasp of that Time after the Universal Monarchy; And because He Fell a Martyr in it, and Received no Recompense from the Bounty of God, Equal, after the General Estimate of Providence, to that Service, I doubt not God hath Reserved it for his Posterity, and for the Prince that He hath Raised at this Time to be so Serviceable to the Protestant Religion, and Inspired with so much Zeal and Courage for it.  
2. Our King, as Prince of Orange, but now under Greater styles, is One of the Princes, and Nobles of France, that as the First Works of those Churches were principally by Princes, and Nobles proceeding of Themselves; In the same manner shall their Last Greater Works be done; In which Regard, our King Appears an Instrument fitted by God, as a Prince and Noble proceeding from Themselves.  
3. God made England a Help, and a Succour by Queen Elizabeth to those Afflicted Churches, though still the Greatest Effects were from Themselves; so It is to be both Hoped, and Prayed, that as their Refugees have by a Superior Providence working for them, Found even in the Former Reign, however of contrary Sentiments, Sanctuary here; So much more Vigorous, and Potent shall their Assistances be, under not only a Protestant Prince, but of so Eminent Love to, and Zeal for the Protestant Religion; As Already there are Great Evidences of the Love, Zeal, and Forwardness of the Supreme Council of the Nation, and their Unanimity herein; and Greatest Effects are Hoped and Prayed for from thence.  
4. That very Oracle, The Last Works of the Church of Thyatyra shall be Greater than the First, is to me an Account, why the Confederate Armies have had so low effects of their Confederacy, Because their Princes and Nobles, of whom our King is one, shall proceed of Themselves.  
5. Above All I persevere, that within the Six next Summers, viz. in 97. The Kingdom of Christ shall be in its Succession, the Antichristian, and Turkish Tyranny shall Fall, and a Great Re-Reformation Ensue. And now it These Things shall seem of value to so Sovereign an Authority, and to be every way Revered most Honourable an Assembly; Let it please them to take Care, that Consideration may be had, whether upon Just Grounds, what is, or hath been offered, can be Refused, viz. on due Debates according to Records of Scripture, Chronology, History, Reason and Experience, without any other Reflections, then what enter into the Merits of the Cause; For I Take to Witness the Searcher of Hearts; that as what I have now written, is not in Flattery or Dissimulation; so what I have formerly presented, with Relation to the Church of England, hath not been from any undervalue of the Personal Holiness, and Learning of any of Eminency or Lowest Name therein, for whom I have all possible Love and Honour; but on both sides from most Assured Grounds in Prophecy; That God will in an Extraordinary manner be present with the King, if He calls Him to Greater Services for His own Approaching Kingdom, as It is most Earnestly to be prayed He may, His Honour and His Safety being therein Complicated; and that those in Highest Stations in the Church of England may know; The State of it, and their present manner of State in it hath but few Years more of duration, and that the Great Senate of this Nation may by understanding the Times, and the Signs of Them, know what They ought to do, a Revolution so Great, indeed being so near as 97.  
My most Humble Petition therefore is, That if to the most Dread Sovereigns, and to the High Court of Parliament, It shall not be made to Appear; That what hath been publicly offered as a Table of Scripture Prophecy, and its Calendar of Time, is upon Foundations, either Inconsistent with Themselves, or Contradictory to Scripture, Chronology, History or Reason; There may be an Eye Had in all Consultations, and Actions thereunto, as to the Testimony of Jesus, and so to the Spirit of Prophecy; Seeing It is most Agreeable to all Christian and Protestant Reason, God should give to so Illustrious a Sovereign Power, Senate, and to so Great Protestant Nations, some signs of so Great, and so near an Approaching Time; And that Your most Self Abased Minister of Jesus Christ in these Prophecies may be supported, and enabled to Revise, Perfect, and Publish his whole Table, and present it together to so Supreme Powers, as a Volumn that will within Six next ensuing Summers, Justify itself, and further our Accounts at the Kingdom, and Appearing of our Infinitely Paramount Lord Jesus Christ.  
And if This Petition Receive Favour, let also the Council of so Humble a Minister of, and according to the Prophecies of Jesus Christ, be Accepted to so Great Estates; In which, I Appeal to God, I most Humbly and Earnestly pray, I may speak as, and only as the Oracles of God in these Four Moment's of Advice from Prophecy.  
Advice 1. That the Arms of the Protestant Refugees of France of the Vaudois, of Protestants in general, be more valued, and under God more Relied upon, then mixed Confederacies, with Kingdoms and States, that yet Give their Power to the Roman Beast.  
Give leave therefore to Weigh in the Balance of the Sanctuary each part; First, showing the disadvantages to be Feared in mixed Confederacies, in Two Things.  
1. It ought to be well pondered, that at this very Time, All Princes and States, who yet Give their Kingdom to the Beast, are therein, as yet in a State of War with the Lamb, that is with Jesus Christ, now about to Reprize wholly, and perfectly his Kingdom from that Antichrist.  
Now seeing the Main Cause of Dispute at this Time betwixt this Nation and France, is a Protestant Government, and indeed the Protestant Religion in general in the World; Whether the Lamb will Accept the Service of Them, who are in Actual War, is much to be doubted; especially, when He hath been, and is still giving such mighty Demonstrations of his Presence with us, and of his Arm made Bare in this very Protestant Cause; It may be very dangerous to over-value the Arm of Flesh in such a Confederacy. In this Case we should be as much Ashamed, as Ezra of Persian Assistances; Seeing that the Hand of our God is for Good on all Them that seek Him, and His Wrath is against All Them that Forsake Him at this Time, as to the great Cause of Protestancy; For this God hath now written in this Nation with a Sun Beam.  
2. The Success that hath hitherto Attended this Confederacy, is not such as to give any Hopes, God will manifest Himself with it; He hath suffered all the Motions of it to be Clogged, and Heavy, to prove Ineffectual, and on the Losing Hand; as it were to declare, The Principals in it, are not yet Instruments fitted for his Service in the Prosecution of that Interest, He is now pursuing in the World, and so particularly in these Nations.  
3. We know, the most Native Administration of Government in the Grand Confederates, is Persecution of the Protestant Religion, and Inquisition upon it: What Wonder then, if such Blended Interests are un-successful? And it is now the more considerable, that the Wheels of Providence, where Things are Right set, will be, as we have seen, with a Divine speed.  
But I do Freely Acknowledge, There are Two Things that seem to Countersway, and Incline to the Confederacy on the other side.  
1. That as it hath been said, the State of the Western Christendom, (as It may be called; but is indeed in the Greater parts of it Antichristendom) is by Prophecy determined into Ten, or a Multiplicity of Kingdoms; On this Account, Any of the Ten, though if not Revulsed from the Beast, they are in Prophetic Language, Horns of the Papacy, may yet be used by God, as heretofore, to hold that Multiplicity Equal and Firm; and so may serve to Reduce any one, that would swell beyond its due Situation, and Proportion of Room on that Head: And this is indeed the Highest Amount of what hath been, and very Hardly hath been done by the Confederacy as yet; God having suffered for great Reasons, as will ere long Appear, so dangerous an Extravasation of the French Power, even as if It were the Beastian Power, and in its 666. as some Learned Men have Thought among us, but will soon so Retrench it, as to show that opinion to be mere mistake, and I am assured especially by Those, I have Just now declared.  
2. How far the Confederacy of Protestants with Papal Powers, may be of use to Incline them to the Reformation, God having made use of outward Force not so much, in Inclining Princes to Fall off from Rome in the Beginning Reformation, as of more Evangelical Methods, Rational, and Free Communications of Truth, Providential, and Friendly Obligations, much more now; But I fear the Time of the great Re-Reformation, though so near, is not near enough at this Time to hope yet for so Blessed a Fruit of the Confederacy, nor does any Thing Appear like it.  
Adu. 2. I would most Humbly Advise, that there might be under so Great an Authority, and Influence, an Assembly of Men, Learned and Loving the Kingdom of our Lard Jesus Christ, who might discover so Admirable a part, (Hitherto it may be called a Terra Incognita) of Scripture, even the Stupendious Prophecies of it; First, by Single, and then Compared and Joined endeavours; For They now are big, and ready to Travel in their Completion; The Ignorance of which, is a greater Reproach of Theologers, than some Diseases of Physicians, and is a Judiciary Blindness on all Christians during the Apostasy: The Affairs of Nations are more concerned therein, then in Forming Armies, and Equipping Navys, which are but Subordinate to those Completions, and often not so much as that, as we have seen.  
I am bold to say, if I had, as now God hath vouchsafed me, understood Prophecy in the Years 48, 50, and so onward in the very Top of Those Powers over the Nation, and kept close and steady to the Guidance of it; I should certainly have Foreseen the Re-enstating the Church of England, that lay then in the Dust, and so of the Royal Family that should do it.  
And as according to Prophecy, even in the Full Tide of the Imperial Victories, I declared the Impossibility of the Turks, being dismounted from the Constantinoplitan heights; Even so, and much more might by such Compared Researches, the Affairs of Nations, and Churches be so understood, as to be Conducted with greater Judgement, and Resolution; And what could so great a Protestant Assembly take with more Sageness and Honour under their Care and Patronage, of more Honour than Ptolemy's 70?  
Particularly the State of the present Government in the Assurance of its Stability rests on the Resolution of one Illustrious Point of Prophecy, viz. The Slaying of the Witnesses, whether It be past or not; For if it were not, seeing the True Sense of it is a Suppression of All Protestant Churches for a Time, It is not I, but the Thing itself speaks, This Revolution must of necessity Revolve.  
For as in Rescue of these Nations from the Return of Popery, This Revolution came, even miraculously to pass, much more by the Fullfilling of Prophecy, then by Humane Sagesse or Power; So if such a Slaying of the Witnesses were ye to be; There would certainly to serve Providence therein, be a Return of Romish Power, which must of necessity Roll back this Revolution.  
But although the mention of the Three days, and a Half as the most Immediate Precedent of their Rising, and its Great Concomitants seem to Favour such an Apprehension, Although the Sense of many excellent Persons, and very understanding in Prophecy, particularly if Truly His, that Prophecy of A. B. Usher, incline that way and Lastly, Although the usual manner of God Introducing his great Deliverances by very dark Prefaces, would much persuade it; Yet as I am most Assured, the main Sense (as I have already published) of the Three Days and a Half, Intends a much Longer Time, even the whole Deep Time of the Antichristian Reign, parallel to the Lying of Christ in the Grave; so there are great Considerations that assure me, There cannot be so much as an Epitome, or Compendious Slaying of the Witnesses, or so dark a State upon Protestancy yet to come.  
1. Because the Time of the Witnesses Full and Total Rising, is so near, that there cannot possibly be Time for the Operation of the Instruments of their suppression, or Slaying, of their Lying Dead, and then for their Rising.  
2. Because there is a State of Protestant Churches, that are so secured, as by a Divine Determination; That They cannot from their First Settlement in the Reformation be any more Reduced under Popish Slavery; of which sort, one of the Principal is the Church of England; as Appeared by the sudden Jealousy, that awoke at those Essays of Popery to Re-Invade it; and the universal Zeal of the Nation to Stem that Tide that was offering to Flow in, was a most undoubted Impression from Heaven, upon so many that have too little Sense of the Power of that profession upon Them to be otherwise moved.  
And if It should seem to be any Objection, that the Church of England lay so long suppressed as from 42, to 60. I have no desire to say it, but Truth obliges me to say, that even that Judgement upon it was for its so Voluntary Returns to more in the Synagogue of Satan, under the pretence of Antiquity, then could be Allowed by its very own Standard of Reformation, and as a Sample of the perfect Removal of that its very Standard (as not Sealed in the Sanctuary, nor of Ezekiel's Just Temple-Weights, Measures,) and so to be by the great Re-Reformation Broken.  
3. Those Suffering Reformed Churches have but Time before the Full Rising of the Witnesses, to do their Last Greater Works then their First, and to see the Dawns of the Morning Star in their Vindication from, and Victory over their Oppressors.  
Adu. 3. Let it please so great Princes, and Counsels, to set before Them the Late Do of God by the Turkish, again prevailing Force, and judge whether It does not, as in a Mirror, show such a Lengthening out of that Woe on the so called Christian World, while the Idolatrous Worship of Wood and Stone, the Thefts, the Sorceries, and Fornications of the Romish Communion still continue; And that this very Thing might be, and hath been predicted according to Prophecy; and therefore of how great Moment, Judgement according to Prophecy is, even beyond Victory itself, It being predicted in the midst of Imperial Victories.  
And therefore the whole Council of God, as to the Powers of these Nations cannot be declared by Preaching, without Research of Prophecy, especially Concerning the Kingdom of Christ, and continual regard had to it, Let the Reason or Rhetoric of Such discourses be otherwise never so Great.  
Adu. 4. Let it please the King, and the Queen, and the Nobles, and the Commons in Parliament Assembled; that the most Powerful Scripture-way of Preaching and Prayer, may have All Advantages of Encouragement given, to spread abroad in Cities, Towns, and countries'; and most Eminently in Camps and Navies, that the Spirit of Debauchery, Profaneness, and Atheisticness, that is so Prodigiously abroad, may be quenched; And that Choice of Persons, who are to Adventure their Lives, may be made so far, as is possible, of such, who have a Knowledge of that Excellent Cause, Protestancy; for which They so adventure: For though with very Unreformed Protestants, as once He said with Wounded Men, God hath and will still work for his Names sake for a while; Yet nearer the Kingdom of Christ He will not endure such Persons; Let us therefore prepare a High way for our God, and make His Paths straight: And They who thus Honour God, He will honour, but They who despise him, shall be Lightly esteemed.  
Let us not therefore (to Conclude) Hope their Hope, not Fear their Fear, who measure All safety, and Success by a Confederacy, tho' mixed on one side, and Slavishly Fear a Papal Confederacy on the other; But let us Sanctify the Lord of Hosts Himself, with an Emphasis, as we are commanded, and let Him be our Fear and our Dread. Isa. 8.13.  
Let us know, God Alarms the King, and these Nations, to serve Him in France; And it is to he hoped and prayed rather than that we should not, He will necessitate us; For if we do not, it is most certain, the Government will Fall into Dishonour first, and then into Confusion, Lastly, into Ruin.  
Now if These Things be despised, disbelieved or Ridiculed, It is but what Reception Prophecy, however Administered hath always Found in the World; But it cannot be Judged by Man's day, I count therefore nothing dear to Fulfil this Ministry, and I shall always Rejoice in its Acceptance, so as may abound to the Account of the Accepters; Especialiy in Yours, to me Most Awful Supreme Powers; For whom I daily bow my Knees, as a Minister of Jesus Christ to so great Principalities, Ministering to you the Divine Prophecies; and that Your (not to say, mine) Offering up Yourselves according to them, may be a Sacrifice Acceptable to God, being Sanctified by the Holy Ghost.  
FINIS.
