A most Humble REPRESENTATION In a Further Review, ERECTING A Pillar of Praise, In acknowledgement of what GOD hath been pleased to Do in this Last Remarkable Year.  
WITH Reasons from thence of Expectation of a Happy Revolution in the Rising of the Suffering Witnesses of Christ, or Protestants in France, etc. The Fall of the Papal and Ottoman State, and the Beginning of the Kingdom of Christ in the World, speedily to be brought to pass by the Stone cut out of the Mountains not in Human hands, but to become Himself a Great Mountain, filling the whole Earth.  
I Am most sensible, The great Events, I hoped this last Year, have not had their Compliment; and that therefore, The Censures of many are very severe upon me, according to the great Rigour of Human Nature upon itself in this Degeneracy of it.  
But upon the Review of the whole Year, and the Events of it, which must needs be acknowledged to be very Extraordinary Ones; and the particular Times, in which the Divine Providence did advance them, I find great Reason of Encouragement; For it pleased the great LORD of Time, through Grace in Jesus Christ, the Mediator of His Church's Times, the Great Palmoni, or Wonderful Numberer of Time; the Supreme Apocalyptes, to whom God gave that Illustrious Prophecy of the New Testament; The Revelation; to direct me in a Paper published in the Fifth Month, called, July to the most particular. ●●●●●se Times of the greatest of Events this Last Year, in both, Old, and New-Stile.  
The times I fixed upon, were, the Month of August from the 15th to the end of the Month; the 1st of September the Ancient Feast of Trumpets; the 10th of September, the Day of Jubilee; the Feast of Tabernacles from the 15th to the 22th of the same Month.  
Accordingly on the 22th of August, Old-Stile, just on the Time of the Cessation of the Empire of Rome in the West, (as was more fully set out in that Paper) and in New-Stile, September the 1st, the Feast of Trumpets; The French King comes forth, taking upon himself as a Caesar-Augustus, or Universal Monarch, to shut the Temple of Janus in an Universal Peace, or, as he spoke, Giving Repose to Europe.  
On the same 22th of August, Old-Style, and September the 1st New-Style, the Imperial Armies were in motion towards the Turkish Forces, and on the 31th Old-Style, That so extraordinary and monumental Victory was obtained over the Grand Signior and his Bashaws.  
On the 10th of September, Old-Style, the 20. of September, New-Style; the Articles of Peace were Signed at Riswick.  
These Things came to pass at the very times of this Year, that had been Foretold (as ●ath been said) in that Paper; which, as it may be subject to Censure because Things have not risen to that height, yet aught to be considered and justified, in what the Year hath attained in such Determinate Times for Events; That though not to the highest themselves, yet contain within themselves the Seeds, Beginnings, and Principle, or these Highest, and are the Pledges, earnestly, and Assurances of them; As the Peace, which the French King takes upon himself to have given, imports (however he understand it not the Resignation of Universal Monarch; and the Universal Peace of the ●●rce of Peace: The Mabo●etan Ottoman Def●●t ass●●es the passing aw●y of the s●●ond ●●o. viz. Of the Ottoman lyranny; and That ●●in●● coming to an end, and none to help him; His Day. Hour, Month, Year, being expired, and the Kingdom of Christ immediately ready to succeed; and therefore, the Papacy, on which it is a Judgement, certainly to ●ad with it.  
And though I do not pretend to have affixed the following Events to their proper Points and Times; They are yet great Events of this Year, that aught to be Recorded as so. The Articles of Peace, with the Empire, after a time of Suspension, holding the Peace at some incertainly, were accepted by the Emperor, golob. 〈◊〉. and Signed N●v. the 1st. New Style, and Remarkably so, as it Divine Providence would Note the Half ●●●e, or an 〈◊〉 Years past, since The Reformation by Luther more illustriously showed itself in the Empire; who affixed his Antipapis●●ed Positions to the Church-doors at Winemberg the same ●●bob. 31. for the s●●re of the Popish high All-s●irts Day following, to be thereby made of the most Public Noteri●ty in the Empire; and it gives great Hopes, some great Intentions of Providence, for the Glory of His Gospel in the Reformation, and 〈◊〉 his kingdom in the Empire, are laid up in 〈◊〉 Peace.  
This Year hath produced a very observable App●●●ance of the ●●zir of Mus●ovia. and in a Victoriousness over the Ottoman Signiory, as 〈◊〉 B●●●in●n● of the C●●●iar (as we ●tile●em) 〈…〉 out of their Ignorance, Bar●●●●●, Sla●●ry, ●●●ording to preph●●; of which 〈…〉 Prince i● a i●●st Fruits, and the m●●re for his co●●●●● into so clear an Air of 〈…〉 in this Nation; and whene●●r That doth come to pass, I am Infallibly certain. the Great City Rome shall be ready to 〈…〉  
But That, which in the last place, but with a Primary Intention, I Record as a great Event of this Year 97. is, That, though It is much to be Lamented, The Protestant Interest could not be comprehended in the Peace; and that the Herodian Spirit hath appeared in a time of Universal Peace, which slaughtered the Infants at one time, and at another time streached forth its hand on the Christian Church to vex and to kill; So a Persecutory Spirit hath even, since the Peace, raged in the French Monarch: A great Remove from the Magnanimity of Christian or Princely Compassion, that would overslow at such a time towards all. Oh that there were a due sense of it among Protestants, that are at ease; and that solemn Fasting and Prayer, without ceasing. were made for such Sufferers; For why should there be Wrath agairst Protestant Princes, Churches and Nations! Who would not bewail, That Protestancy, our greatest Privilege, Glory, and Enjoyment, should be punished on them as their only Crime! But I cannot but hope that God hath been pleased to suffer it, that it might be made Evident, that the Suffering Protestant; beyond the Seas, who at this time, Keep the Commandments of God, and Hold the Faith of Jesus, are those Witnesses of God, in whom God is pleased at this time, as in an Epitome, or Summary, to draw up the sufferings of all the Confessors, and Martyrs under the Papacy, and Antichristian Apostasy for so many Hundreds of Years, before their Full, and Complete Ri●●ng, and the op●ning of his Kingdom. There is therefore a perfect Sciagraphy, or platform of the Apocalyptick Vision, cap. 11. in their present Case and State.  
They lie, at this time, in a Large Breadth of the Great City, the Roman Artichristian Church, viz. The Empire, In which the Reformation h●●an; and more especially in France, whe●e so many Dreadful Scenes of their Massacres, and Persecutions have heretofore been pre●en●ed; and in Pi●●mo●t and S●rcoy, where They have been (as many Faithful Historians witness continued by an uninterrupted succession of so many Hundred Years, as will make up the 1260. in the pure Profession of the Gospel; and However Persecuted, they have been preserved, as Moses his bush, burning, 〈◊〉 not confirmed; Now in this very Year, They 〈◊〉 this Breadth lie dead, (but as was said especially in France) & under A●athemaes, Proscription, Edicts for D●at●, and Banishment, Able ●●●ion to the Galleys; their Testimony to Christianity, and their Sufferings, as it were Vying one with another.  
T●ey of the Popish People, and Kindred's and Tongue's, and Nations, have by their Plenipotentiaries looked upon their Dead Bodies to the purpose, and determined they should lie Dead: and the Protestant Plenipoteniaries have beheld them dead, and professed they could not help them.  
They cannot yet be Buried, in Regard of God's Gracious Bearing up of their Spirits with Renewed Resolution, to keep up their Faith to Christ in the midst of so great Crueky upon them; and further, There are such great Kingdoms, and States, that standing upon their feet; that is, subsisting upon their own Strength. Authority, Laws, and Government; Avow the same Profession publicly, in defiance of Papal Powers, whatever, and so are called Protestants, or open Avowed Witnesses.  
They that dwell upon the Earth; The Popish Princes, and States, The Ecclesiastic Head, which the Scripture calls The Beast, as the Image of Ancient Empire, have sent their Compliments of Congratulation and Joy, and their Gifts, and Presents, one to another, upon the suppressed State of Protestancy so far, as they have attained; and what Alliances they are forming further, if the Stone cut out of the Mo●ontains should not surprise them, Time would Discover: And that they may think themselves more secure, & That they are still to continue. Providence hath given them the returns into that Adulterous B●so●t, of one of the Germane El●●lors, in the Cou●t and Territories of whose Predecessors, Protestancy had its first Protection; that babylon may say, I sit a Queen, ●d●a●● no Widow, and shall see to sorrow, and that so, Her Plagues may come in one hour. For therefore I Record these as signal Events of this Year, because I look upon all these as signs at the Time, God hath ordained, when the spirit of Life f●o● God small enter unto the Witnesses; their whole tim● of 126● Years of Sackcloth Prophecy being expired; and their present podware, such as Prophecy hath described it at their Ri●ing and Deliverance.  
But it is y●● a most Remarkable Event of this Year. That God hath been pleased, this Year, by the Peace, to place it, as an Honour, upon the King, as Prince of Orange, to provide ●●at His Principality, as a Sanctuary; that his Witnesses there may not only not be buried, but not so much as lie Dead; but their Profession 〈◊〉 born up there, when in Regard of the Severity of the Persecution they lie Dead in other ●●rts of that Nation. And in Regard, it is a restoration of the Kingdoms of Protestancy, 〈◊〉 ●he 〈…〉 before the Peace, had e●●● of the Kingdom of France; It bears the face of a Resurrection; and the Return of their Four Fastors thither in so solemn a manner, out of their Imprisonment at Lions, as is related in their Letter 
* Mont● Accou●● the Mont● led Fe●ary.  to the Pastor of the Walloon Congregation at Rotterdam, (I hope most Authentic) carries the very Type of a Spirit of Life from God, entering into them, setting them on their Feet, and A Voice from Heaven, saying, Come up hither, Their Enemies beholding them; and many Papists so moved, as to give Glory to the God of Heaven by Conversion to Protestancy. All which, is both an Earnest, and pledge, and Assurance of the Resurrection of the Witnesses in general, speedily to go on; And one may even say, They have begun to Rise; and I cannot but hope, hereby God hath made the King, whom the Enemies have called in contempt, Prince of Orange, The Prince of Orange le Grand! and on this very Account, as on others, A Signet in God's own Right Hand.  
But it ought not to be omitted, that God hath been pleased by a Spirit from himself, now in the Close of the Year, to set a further mark of Honour upon it; the Unanimous Address of the Honourable House of Commons for the Honour of Jehovah, in a Reformed Nation and accepted with such a Zealous Cheerfulness by the King in so great a Proclamation: This is, I hope, laid up, as Scripture expresses it, as a Memorial before the Lord in his Temple, for the Glory of the King, and Parliament, in his approaching Kingdom; It being a Testimony for God unparallelled, since what is styled, The Restoration; and looks as if those earnest Motions for Reformation, that have been at any time before, since the Reformation from Popery, were Reviving by joint Supreme Authority, near to The Restitution of all things.  
Now, by way of Reflection upon all these Imp●●●●●, of Divine Providence, upon this Year 〈◊〉 which being so many, and all clear Matter of Fact, cannot be supposed to be by chance. I cannot but Remonstrate; That tho' Thing are not Ascended to the H●●●h●hs I had hoped and expected, yet, it ●●●not be denied, God hath not left this Year ●●stitute, Naked, or without Witness from Himself, and that He hath, in an Eminency, Graced those very particular Times in this Year, I had singled out, as designed, by Prophecy, for Engraving upon with Effects of Divine Power, and Goodnese.  
Now, whatever hath come to pass this Year, of so great Remark, and so agreeable to Prophecy, deserves some of that Asterisk upon and Resurrection, and of the Mission of the Holy Spirit, Remarking it That Year, and That same Year, on occasion of that so Memorable Prophecy of Caiaphas, their Highpriest that Year, as Productive of it, and Impelling it: In like manner these things have come to pass, this Great Prophetic Year 97. b●cause This same Year.  
And as In a Wonderful Resemblance of Caiaphas, and his Prophecy, I cannot but look upon that Oracular Acknowledgement of the French King, as what he was Impelled to, on the Account of his being permitted, and so far upheld by Providence, to take upon himself, as an Universal Monarch in the Peace, This same Year. He Writing to the Archbishop of Paris, in desire of the Popish le Deum, as a Thanksgiving for the Peace with the Emperor: Thus gins: COZEN, THE TIME, WHICH HEAVEN HAD ORDAINED, FOR THE RECONCILIATION OF THE NATIONS IS COME. I hope This is Prophetical of the Reconciliation of all Nations by the Kingdo● of the Prince of Peace.  
How, therefore, God will please to promote these Beginnings, through this following Year 1698. (Being very positive the 1260 Years of the Delay of the Kingdom of Christ there expired) viz. Beginning at the Apocalyptick Epoch, the time of our Lord's Resurrection, Ascension, and Mission of his Spirit; Down to the time of the Cessation of the Roman Empire; Month the 6th; Then on the Feast of Trumpets, Jubilee, and Feast of Tabernacles in the 7th Month; I will not Pronounce, but Humbly Wait with greatest Hope, and Expectation from Him, who Magnisies his Word a●ove All his Name.  
For I am humbly Conscious to myself, whatever Thoughts Any may have, I have not Rashly, or Rudely, seized on the Time of the Last, and of this Year, as the Time of the Great Revolution I expect for the Kingdom of Christ; but I have, through the Grace of the Wonderful Numberer, and through His Redemption, extending itself to every Th●●● of His Kingdom, that is the Kingdom of Redemption; drawn a Line of Time. according to the Scriptures, made Illustrious with the greatest Events that have been known in the World; coming down to this very Time from Solo●●●●●. Death, the very Time where Prophetical ●●●e gins, and goes in a straight Line 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or expressly, for the space of seven 390s, or 2730. Years, viz. the Changes made upon the Ancient People of God, the Ten Tribes of 〈◊〉 and the Kingdom of Judah, in their so 〈◊〉 Desolation; the Babylonian, Persian and Gre●●● Monarchies; the Roman Empire, and the Gre●● Changes, and Revolution of it; which in regard of the coming of the Messiah, His De●● Resurrection, and Ascension the Mission of the Spirit, and the Preaching of the Gospel to the Gentiles falling within it; is of all other the most Remarkable (next to that of Israel) Subject of Prophecy in the Old, and New Testament; and hath dependent upon it be Great Revolution of so great a part of the World coming under the Name of Jesus Christ But immediately attended with the Black and Dark Eclipse of Antichristianism, Styled very justly Romanism; The time of which Prophecy is so Intent upon, as to have given ten times the exact measure of, and in all kinds of Characters: On which Fellow the Dreadful Judgements of God in Revenge of such a Traitorous Undermine of his Kingdom; In letting out the Barbarous Nations to Ravage upon Rome, and to Break in pieces 〈◊〉 Empire into Ten (or a variety of) Kingdoms, Intoxicated into Papal Subjection; Then came Mahometarism with it Two W●e● the Saracens and the Turkish Ottoman Power, which hath seated itself in the Room of the Grecian Empire, and in its very Atr●●●lis, or at Constantinople; All which is become a very great part of the History of the L●ter Times; And since that, The Reform●●● by Luther which hath made so great a Change in the Papal State, and the Kingdoms of E●rope in General. Now all these, I have so Adjusted to their most Lively Types in Prophecy, and to their most exact Situation, in what I look upon to be the Express Prophetic Line of Time, or Prophetic Chronology; And with such Attestation; of General History, and Chronology, (especially in some most Eminent Joints of Time) so undoubted as thereby to assure in what may seem more Dark and Doubtful; and all to this day, That I am sure, The most Learned and Sagatious cannot draw such another Line, so Justly s●●●ved, and so supported.  
But however, or whenever These things shall appear, I will not Fail Incessantly to Cry out with the Spirit and the Bride, and to provoke him that heareth to say, Come Lord Jesus, Come quickly in thy Kingdom.  
T. BEVERLY.
