THE BRIDE'S Preparation.  
By the Lady ELINOR: DAVIS  
For it is the day of the Lords vengeance: and the year of recompense for the controveosie of Zion: (Isaiah 34.  
Printed in the year March 21th 1644.   

Of the Signification and Meaning of that Celestial foure-square City: measured 144 Cubits.  

Revelation, 21.  
AS most clearly shows: the Year of GOD 1644: With our Ladydayes description. & of the World's Creation, and the things therein made in the Spring: to whose beauty, all the glory of the Indieses Not to be compared, which quickens and revives every Creature: So unto Nothing again dissolved, to be at the same season even seasonable, for the quick and dead their meeting. Even than the blessed glorious Resurrection, as the great Masterbuilder, saying, it is done. I am ALPHA and OMEGA, The beginning and the end; The year finished, as much to say.  
And so when fruit in perfection at the fall then fell Adam: But proceeding with this HOLIDAY partly why preferred because this secret disclosed to one of that SEX. Besides a day observed of payment, like the doy of judgement every one's service which rewards even the appointed time then: when the Day and Night ways equal hours the precious Spring.   
Revelation. XXI. And I saw a New heaven, and a New earth, for the first were passed away. 
And I John (Joh: annes) saw the holy City, coming down from Heaven as a Bride prepared, etc. showed by one of the seven Angels (to wit) Winged time (the 1700. year) which had the seven Vials full of the seven last plagues, saying, I will show Thee the bride the Lamb's wife; Even this uxorem Agni: The spring in her variety of Colours, the Earth in all her riches, who gins with; it: for Time's farewell, showed or signified. His last hour glass run out.  
But to be brief herein, as every Month of the Year shows, Named severally, by the Tribes and Apostles Names, written on those Gates and Foundations twelve in number: where Juda for January and the like, and the Wall answerable thereto twelve thousand furlongs all bidding time a thousand times farewell: So by the measure of the Angel, Time so swiftly fleeing a father of many generations, even the Year aforesaid 1644: is measured by those Cubits 144. With the four quarters of the Year, three months allotted each: Of such even Length and Breadth, all foure-square: Three to the East, and three to the West, as it were, etc. where the equal Day and Night put into the reckoning or balance. And so every Gate of one pearl, one and thirty days a piece: The most of these Unions, so going on with this veil of misery ended.  
And farther for the very place thus figuring aged time: the Tower of London's situation represented, the City's safety, that great store house even showed St. John then newly done: unreparable now not worth your beholding to what then was: turned into a prison, a place of tears and death, together with the street of this City not unknown of pure Gold like transparet glass: the mint on both sides letticed. With that Crystal Spring proceeding out of the Throne of God and the Lamb, as Agnus for Anno Dom: and Mensura for Menses, and Tempus for Templum, etc. And so the tree of life significant also which yields it monthly fruit for the healing of Nations whose evil incurable without it. to wit, The last day reveal their only remedy: like that water of life, free for every one to come and take it, so fare from being forbidden or within the compass of any curse or point of curiosity that it is become a blessing, no less than one of the commandment to do it. As the second death appointed to be their portion the fearful and unbelievers which shall add or diminish from the words of this book and faithful prophecy showing the Lords second coming.  
Seconded thus in the 7. Chap. and Chap. 14. Where concerning the great blow in such a year all going upon that great number. And I saw four Angels standing on the four corners of the earth holding the four winds, that the wind should not blow, till a hundred forty and four sealed, As it were our great Army: For so no question to be made of what Nation that company. Cap. 7, verse 14. In Albion Array St. john's reply to that Elder, in plain English makes it known: Saying SIR, thou knowest and whence they came, If thou art one of the 24. Elders since the Conquest your Majesty knows them as much to say whose reign concluding i● with his Corownation, thus Mat. 25. Where the Kingdom of Heaven likend to five wise Virgins and five foolish, no doubt points at the blessed Virgins feast not to be unprepared then. So make no tarrying O my God.
