A75736	The work of the age: or, the sealed prophecies of Daniel opened and applied. VVherein is plainly proved that all the governments in the world, except the government of Christ, are but images, or parts of Nebuchadnezzars image, and shall be suddenly broken in pieces by the little stone cut out of the mountain without hand: together with the means how Christ will effect all this. Shewing also that image-government, and image-worship have always been companions. Explaining likewise Daniels mystical numbers, and discovering some misprisions about the little horn, both in the translation and application of the same. Amending sundry places in our common translation, and clearing some chronological points from the common errours. / By William Aspinwall.

yet_o it_o may_v be_v further_o say_v that_o the_o angel_n tell_v daniel_n of_o the_o go_v forth_o of_o a_o word_n to_o build_v jerusalem_n and_o we_o do_v not_o find_v any_o word_n of_o building_n
