A33243	The time of the end shewing first, until the three years and an half are come (which are the last of the 1260 dayes) the prophecies of the Scripture will not be understood, concerning the duration and period of the fourth monarchy and kingdom of the beast : then secondly, when that time shall come ... the knowledge of the end ... will be revealed, by the rise of a little horn, the last apostacy, and the beast slaying the witnesses ... / by John Canne.	Canne, John, d. 1667?	1657 (1657)	Wing C443; ESTC R6596	111,358	318

i_o seem_v very_o clear_a by_o the_o angel_n word_n to_o daniel_n but_o thou_o o_o daniel_n shut_v up_o the_o word_n and_o seal_v the_o book_n even_o unto_o the_o time_n of_o the_o end_n chap._n 12._o 4._o again_o go_v thy_o way_n daniel_n for_o the_o word_n be_v close_v up_o and_o seal_v till_o the_o time_n of_o the_o end_n chap._n 12._o 9_o three_o thing_n be_v here_o observable_a 1._o the_o open_n and_o understand_v of_o the_o vision_n be_v refer_v to_o a_o certain_a and_o prefix_a time_n and_o not_o to_o be_v reveal_v till_o then_o 2._o in_o both_o place_n it_o be_v call_v the_o time_n of_o the_o end_n which_o methinks_v must_v needs_o be_v the_o three_o year_n and_o half_a for_o i_o know_v no_o other_o time_n but_o this_o that_o period_n the_o number_n of_o the_o one_o thousand_o two_o hundred_o and_o sixty_o year_n 3._o he_o faith_n not_o time_n but_o time_n intimate_v howsoever_o the_o whole_a account_n shall_v have_v several_a time_n or_o period_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o divers_a action_n of_o the_o beast_n civil_a and_o ecclesiastical_a and_o the_o various_a change_n and_o condition_n of_o the_o witness_n and_o woman_n all_o the_o time_n of_o his_o tyranny_n yet_o the_o unseal_n of_o the_o book_n shall_v not_o be_v till_o the_o last_o time_n of_o all_o the_o several_a period_n so_o habak_v 2._o 3._o the_o vision_n be_v yet_o for_o a_o appoint_a time_n at_o the_o end_n it_o shall_v speak_v and_o not_o lie_v what_o can_v we_o understand_v by_o the_o end_n and_o the_o appoint_a time_n but_o as_o daniel_n have_v it_o the_o time_n of_o the_o end_n that_o be_v the_o three_o year_n and_o half_a then_o be_v the_o vision_n to_o speak_v and_o not_o before_o so_o rev._n 1._o 3._o for_o the_o time_n be_v at_o hand_n and_o chap._n 22._o 10._o seal_v not_o up_o the_o say_n of_o the_o prophecy_n of_o this_o book_n for_o the_o time_n be_v at_o hand_n for_o my_o part_n i_o can_v conceive_v what_o time_n may_v be_v take_v as_o distinct_a from_o other_o time_n and_o proper_a to_o the_o place_n if_o not_o the_o three_o year_n and_o half_a but_o that_o in_o daniel_n seem_v yet_o to_o be_v more_o full_a it_o shall_v be_v for_o a_o time_n time_n and_o a_o half_a chap._n 12._o 7._o what_o shall_v be_v for_o a_o time_n time_n and_o a_o half_a till_o the_o end_n of_o these_o wonder_n that_o be_v before_o they_o shall_v be_v open_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v so_o far_o forth_o as_o the_o christian_a gentile_n be_v concerue_v in_o these_o wonder_n the_o manifestation_n of_o they_o be_v reserve_v till_o the_o three_o year_n and_o half_a and_o then_o the_o wise_a shall_v understand_v here_o observe_v 1._o it_o shall_v be_v no_o cause_n of_o stumble_v unto_o any_o person_n that_o many_o good_a man_n have_v miss_v of_o the_o time_n in_o their_o account_n see_v in_o their_o time_n the_o word_n be_v close_v up_o and_o seal_v 2._o the_o cause_n of_o their_o mistake_n be_v not_o as_o some_o think_v of_o a_o impossibility_n as_o if_o the_o time_n of_o the_o end_n be_v not_o to_o be_v know_v but_o because_o the_o appoint_a time_n or_o end_n be_v not_o then_o come_v in_o which_o the_o vision_n be_v to_o speak_v 3._o such_o as_o be_v now_o inquire_v into_o the_o number_n of_o daniel_n and_o john_n to_o know_v when_o the_o beast_n dominion_n shall_v end_v aught_o to_o mind_n whether_o they_o be_v come_v to_o the_o time_n of_o the_o end_n in_o which_o and_o not_o before_o that_o great_a mystery_n be_v to_o be_v know_v consid._n iii_o the_o way_n which_o some_o good_a man_n have_v take_v to_o find_v out_o the_o period_n of_o the_o one_o thousand_o two_o hundred_o and_o sixty_o year_n viz._n by_o beginning_n at_o the_o head_n of_o the_o account_n be_v not_o in_o my_o opinion_n the_o best_a nor_o sure_a for_o here_o we_o must_v credit_v and_o depend_v on_o humane_a history_n and_o record_n of_o nation_n thing_n so_o uncertain_a and_o disagree_v among_o themselves_o as_o nothing_o but_o conjecture_n and_o ghess_n can_v be_v conclude_v and_o gather_v from_o they_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o many_o have_v be_v mislead_v concern_v the_o time_n whereby_o other_o have_v take_v advantage_n to_o condemn_v all_o which_o search_v the_o time_n and_o the_o prophetical_a number_n of_o the_o scripture_n as_o meddle_v with_o thing_n too_o high_a and_o secret_a if_o any_o shall_v ask_v why_o be_v these_o number_n mention_v as_o forty_o and_o two_o month_n and_o one_o thousand_o two_o hundred_o and_o sixty_o day_n i_o answer_v the_o lord_n will_v have_v it_o know_v how_o long_o the_o beast_n shall_v reign_v and_o the_o woman_n continue_v in_o the_o wilderness_n that_o his_o people_n may_v wait_v with_o the_o more_o faith_n and_o patience_n till_o their_o enlargement_n come_v not_o that_o when_o the_o time_n of_o the_o end_n shall_v come_v he_o will_v carry_v they_o back_o to_o inquire_v what_o be_v do_v some_o thousand_o of_o year_n before_o or_o search_v uncertain_a story_n for_o the_o rise_n of_o the_o beast_n i_o take_v it_o he_o have_v a_o near_a and_o better_a way_n to_o lead_v they_o in_o more_o free_a from_o doubt_n and_o mistake_v then_o the_o other_o and_o easy_a to_o be_v find_v out_o and_o

much_o speak_v of_o and_o matter_n of_o singular_a joy_n among_o saint_n everywhere_o these_o show_v we_o without_o doubt_n that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v nigh_o and_o that_o the_o great_a work_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v approach_v upon_o we_o but_o as_o to_o the_o set_a time_n they_o come_v not_o home_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v have_v more_o light_a than_o these_o to_o order_v our_o motion_n by_o for_o example_n be_v it_o grant_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v a_o people_n inquire_v after_o the_o number_n in_o daniel_n and_o john_n much_o enlighten_v in_o the_o work_n of_o their_o generation_n take_v pleasure_n in_o zion_n stone_n and_o favour_v her_o dust_n be_v a_o willing_a people_n and_o a_o pray_a people_n and_o such_o as_o have_v their_o heart_n raise_v up_o against_o babylon_n to_o take_v vengeance_n on_o she_o i_o say_v grant_v all_o this_o as_o bless_a be_v jehovah_n it_o be_v all_o true_a and_o more_o too_o yet_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o the_o one_o

these_o be_v bless_v sign_n and_o tiding_n of_o great_a joy_n and_o do_v evident_o declare_v like_o the_o tender_a branch_n and_o leaf_n of_o the_o figtree_n that_o summer_n be_v nigh_o that_o the_o lord_n will_v arise_v and_o have_v mercy_n upon_o zion_n and_o that_o the_o break_a work_n of_o the_o stone_n be_v not_o far_o off_o but_o yet_o they_o do_v not_o tell_v we_o how_o nigh_o the_o time_n

yet_o he_o go_v not_o forth_o of_o the_o ark_n till_o the_o lord_n do_v call_v he_o gen_n 8._o 11_o 15._o indeed_o these_o sign_n like_o the_o olive-leaf_n do_v plain_o demonstrate_v that_o the_o antichristian_a deluge_n which_o have_v so_o long_o cover_v the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v towards_o a_o end_n nevertheless_o we_o must_v abide_v where_o we_o be_v till_o we_o hear_v that_o

so_o the_o time_n come_v in_o which_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n will_v set_v up_o his_o kingdom_n take_v away_o the_o dominion_n of_o the_o little_a horn_n and_o execute_v
