RIght Honourable right Worthie renowned Senat and Pastors I Finding my selfe somewhat bound vnto your benevolent favours therefore I in minde did decree to giue out the first fruits proofe of my labours vnder the tuition and defence of your Honourable wisedomes and seeing I found this briefe and compendious German worke to bee fit for my purpose especially in those tymes when men are most secure sleeping in worldly vanities I was in a manner incited through conscience for to lay on my Talent vnto the benefite of mine owne natiue Countrie beeing obliged for to approue that which I did publickly professe before your worthie Senat and within your renowned Citie Therefore I could see none more meete to dedicate the proofe of my labours as vnto the conspicuous publicke censure of your Honourable Senat Right Honourable the Author of this little worke is a German Doctor in divinitie to Hanburgh Doctor Philip. Nicolaj now in the LORD who appearantly hath beene graced and indued with a gift of prophecie as experience and event of time hath testified in his travels who is the right fundamentall ground of this worke and prophecie written by him 33. yeares since namely in the yeare of CHRIST 1596 which was found extant presently after him in Latine and thereafter translated in the Germane tongue by Mr. Gothard Artus to Da●ssick namely in the yeare of CHRIST 1598. whereout a Dence Professor called Niels Michelsone hath gathered this briefe worke and translated againe in Dence and Printed lately Anno 1628. The substance is a briefe analogie of times conferred with Scripture out of Ezekiell Daniel and Revelation of Iohn containing a Prophecie and successe of the Ghospell to the worlds end concluded with the Authors protestation which I thought good to translate and accompanie with an exhortation to repentance and benefite mine owne Nation with the same Heerewith persuading my selfe of acceptance I doe thrust this poore myte of my travels into the treasurie of your Christian and charitable dispositions recommending it vnto the protection and tuition of your Honourable wisdomes and you and your doings vnto the grace of GOD. Yours in CHRIST IESVS David Forbes TO The Christian READER GEntle Reader I haue thought good to benefite thee with this little worke de regno CHRISTI and to translate it in our owne commoun language that it may come in publict view of all which I haue out of loue and for thy spirituall well pervsed accompanied with a breefe treatise and exhortation to repentance requesting thee as a spirituall freind to cover my weaknesse and imperfection therein with the vaile of charitable censure but as for the translation it selfe I shall approue it before all censurs whatsomever my Master may well pretend it not to be decored with the ornate phrase of language but yet I hope he must subscryue it to be the true translation according to the German and Dence phrase it selfe which wee ought receaue in good part seing the Histories and Prophecies both of Ezekiel Daniel and Revelation of Iohn haue as it were hitherto beene dark but now in the end dayly more and more opned and cleared so well by faithfull Preachers as also by dayly experience which the Prophets doe testifie clearely that men shall bee enlightned in those mysteries at the end as you can remark in the Authors warrand for searching of the Scriptures wherein we see plainly a speciall illumination of the Spirit prophecied vnto some for opening of all hid prophecies and partes of Scripture yet albeit it is no wayes the Authors meaning absolutely to determine and appoynt vnto GOD the tyme and end of these things which secreete the Father hath reserved for himselfe only as he protesteth heere in the end for the yeere day and houre wee may not know but yet of all tokens which our LORD IESUS hath revealed vnto vs as likewayes the experience of our tymes conferred and compared with these Prophecies wee can easily discerne that all these prophecies are most fulfilled and that the world will soone take an end and therefore should admonish vs to haue the lampes of our heartes prepared that wee may convoy our Brydgroome the LORD IESUS into that blessed Heaven of all happinesse To whom with the Father and the holy Ghost bee all praise and Dominion AMEN Thine in the LORD DAVID FORBES THE AVTHORS WARRAND for searching of Scripture DANIEL 12. verse 4.

man according to his workes O would to GOD wee could consider attentiuelie the prospect of all GODS creatures how they teach vs dayly that all things draweth to their end all things waxe worse and briefer the earth giveth not her wonted fruits but worse men sinneth with new sinnes GOD plagueth againe with new sicknesse and the life of man commonly attaineth not vnto former and wonted age and commonly cut off in her first prime the waters giue not their wonted aboundance of creatures the sunne and Moone misseth their wonted shine and vertues the starres of Heaven are turned into comets for preaching of GODS vengeance the Aire and all elements are moved with fearefull and vnacquainted tempestuousstormes and all thinges as it were wish to bee disolved so that the earth is waerie worne and overburdened with the wickednesse of her creatures also that shee fainteth trembleth and wisheth to bee fred and disburthened of her most vntolerable birth all which prophecies fulfilled and conferred together with the experience of this our age there is no spirituall man but of necessitie must conclude that the day of the LORD is at hand and if any learned Divines haue ought to pretend as yet not fulfilled yet I perswade my selfe there is none of them but will subscryue to CHRISTS owne words that the latter tymes shall bee shortned for the Elects sake Math. 24. and that all the Saints in Heaven are now rejoycing and hoping for the accomplishment of the fulnesse of their joy when that soule and bodie may be coupled and vnited together and enter with all the blessed Elect into that glorious and triumphant Church and Kingdome of glory Therefore to conclude I say Will nothing moue thee vnto this repentance no the mercies patience and long suffering of GOD can moue the● neither the benefites and temporall blessings of GOD bestowed vpon thee nor the prospect and defection of elements and creatures neither the abhomination and wickednesse of mankynd no not the dayly experience of violent death can moue thee yet let the feare of imminent justice and day of the LORD that glorious Kingdome of Heaven now at hand moue thee to repentance and amendement of life I pray thee consider with thy selfe if there bee any creature created in Heaven or in earth who can by any evident argument assure thee that when thou sittest downe to thy table that thou shall ryse before CHRIST come in the clowdes and aske account of thee or when thou goest out of thy doores about thy worldly respectes to turne back to thine house but that thou may be caught into the clowdes of Heaven before the justice seate of GOD either when thou lyest downe in thy bed with thy mortall bodie but that thou shall be in an eye blinck in thy sleepe exchanged into an immortall creature and presentlie presented before the glorious throne and Majestie of CHRIST IESUS to giue account of thy workes Good LORD when I doe meditate with my selfe of the imminencie of this Kingdome of Heaven and of the former workes of mankynd in this age it troubleth my thoughts and vnquyeteth my spirits and maketh my bones to quake and my flesh to tremble for feare to thinke how that the LORD of Glory shall find the whole world in such damnable and pitiefull estate and how few they are who are prepared with the oyle of grace in the lampes of their heartes shall hee not rather find men busied about the vanities of the world and lustes of the flesh then attending the comming of the LORD IESUS O doolefull and miserable experience O wicked abhomination and sinfull generation of mankynd What fearefull justice art thou prophecying to bee imminent Oh how doolefull lamentable and sorrowfull will the event proue to many who are sleeping in sencelesse securitie in the lap of worldly vanities awaken O secure man and harden not thy heart nor delay not the tyme of thy repentance abuse not the long patience and suffering of GOD accept of grace in this verie last moment of grace for now the Kingdome of Heaven is at hand where the gates of grace and mercie shall bee closed and never opened nor offered againe O miserable wretched damned and forlorne creature art thou if thou repent not in time how pittifull shall then thy estate bee when thou shall bee forced with perpetuall shame infamie and confusion to stand naked in the presence of all creatures and before the justice throne of GOD where thou shalt heare that horrible sentence of the KING of all Kings and judge of all the whole world Depart from mee yee workers of iniquitie into everlasting fire prepared for the Devill and his angels O terrible and fearfull sentence once pronunced how fearfull and vnexpressible shall thy paine bee where no repentance no teares no treasures no friend no foe no griefe no sorrow will then helpe thy miserable damnable desperate soule out of her endlesse quaill and never consuming torments And on the contrare how joyfull shall that soule bee who hath repented heere in this life when they shall bee promoted in the Heavens to liue as Kings in that everlasting happinesse and joye of all Saincts The LORD of his mercie make vs prepared against the comming of the LORD IESUS to whom with the Father and holy Ghost be praise and glory for ever AMEN
