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.

say_v that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o understand_v three_o as_o a_o definite_a number_n but_o as_o a_o number_n of_o perfection_n denote_v divers_a and_o many_o of_o the_o horn_n i_o wish_v it_o may_v be_v well_o weigh_v how_o unsafe_a such_o a_o interpretation_n may_v be_v for_o if_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o three_o in_o this_o prophecy_n be_v not_o a_o definite_a but_o a_o indefinite_a and_o uncertain_a number_n put_v for_o many_o will_v it_o not_o open_v a_o door_n to_o some_o to_o question_v the_o trinity_n of_o person_n in_o the_o godhead_n and_o to_o say_v there_o be_v many_o person_n because_o three_o be_v count_v a_o number_n of_o perfection_n and_o do_v not_o denote_v a_o certain_a but_o a_o uncertain_a number_n which_o will_v be_v of_o dangerous_a consequence_n beside_o it_o may_v just_o be_v inquire_v where_o the_o scripture_n account_v the_o number_n three_o a_o number_n of_o perfection_n often_o we_o read_v of_o seven_o so_o use_v as_o the_o seven_o spirit_n of_o god_n the_o seven_o golden_a candlestick_n the_o seven_o church_n of_o asia_n the_o seven_o star_n the_o seven_o angel_n the_o seven_o seal_n and_o it_o be_v usual_a in_o scripture_n to_o reckon_v by_o seven_n but_o i_o do_v not_o remember_v the_o like_a rotundity_n in_o the_o number_n three_o and_o if_o we_o shall_v make_v such_o a_o interpretation_n of_o the_o number_n three_o as_o if_o it_o be_v put_v for_o a_o indefinite_a number_n it_o will_v render_v the_o account_n of_o scripture_n very_o uncertain_a which_o be_v not_o safe_a to_o be_v admit_v in_o the_o five_o and_o last_o place_n let_v it_o be_v consider_v how_o the_o character_n of_o the_o little_a horn_n afore_o mention_v will_v suit_v unto_o charles_n stuart_n the_o late_a king_n in_o every_o particular_a for_o first_o he_o be_v a_o king_n second_o he_o be_v one_o of_o the_o ten_o horn_n or_o among_o the_o ten_o horn_n or_o king_n appertain_v to_o the_o four_o monarchy_n or_o great_a beast_n three_o he_o be_v by_o original_a a_o scot_n and_o by_o consequence_n a_o little_a horn_n for_o as_o much_o as_o scotland_n be_v one_o of_o the_o least_o kingdom_n of_o the_o ten_o and_o as_o he_o be_v the_o least_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o original_a nation_n so_o also_o he_o be_v least_o or_o young_a by_o birth_n he_o be_v not_o the_o old_a but_o the_o young_a son_n of_o james_n and_o he_o do_v spring_v up_o as_o daniel_n say_v from_o be_v a_o king_n of_o the_o least_o of_o the_o kingdom_n to_o be_v a_o king_n of_o three_o kingdom_n four_o he_o do_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n pluck_v up_o by_o the_o root_n all_o the_o three_o nation_n or_o kingdom_n by_o his_o prerogative_n if_o you_o understand_v by_o that_o metaphor_n religion_n and_o the_o civil_a right_n of_o the_o nation_n which_o be_v to_o the_o nation_n as_o root_n be_v to_o the_o tree_n and_o he_o make_v use_v of_o his_o prerogative_n to_o that_o end_n for_o he_o say_v he_o will_v not_o leave_v a_o puritan_n in_o all_o his_o dominion_n and_o it_o be_v well_o know_v how_o far_o he_o proceed_v to_o root_v up_o religion_n and_o the_o nation_n civil_a right_n and_o to_o introduce_v a_o arbitrary_a government_n and_o popery_n into_o all_o the_o three_o nation_n five_o he_o be_v a_o vigilant_a prince_n and_o politic_a and_o have_v the_o eye_n of_o a_o man_n as_o daniel_n speak_v six_o his_o spirit_n be_v bend_v against_o god_n and_o against_o his_o people_n and_o against_o the_o way_n of_o god_n as_o may_v be_v instance_a at_o large_a seven_o he_o be_v a_o prince_n of_o a_o wilful_a resolute_a spirit_n insomuch_o as_o king_n james_n his_o father_n sometime_o will_v say_v of_o he_o that_o through_o his_o wilfulness_n he_o will_v lose_v the_o three_o nation_n eight_o he_o make_v war_n against_o the_o saint_n the_o better_a part_n give_v denomination_n to_o the_o whole_a throughout_o the_o three_o nation_n witness_v the_o display_v of_o his_o banner_n first_o against_o the_o parliament_n not_o they_o first_o against_o he_o and_o witness_n the_o commission_n he_o grant_v to_o the_o popish-rebell_n in_o ireland_n against_o the_o godly_a party_n there_o nine_o he_o make_v use_v of_o his_o prerogative_n to_o the_o extirpation_n of_o religion_n and_o the_o nation_n civil_a right_n as_o far_o as_o lay_v in_o his_o power_n infest_v all_o the_o three_o nation_n with_o intestine_a and_o bloody_a war_n ten_o who_o be_v it_o that_o know_v not_o how_o he_o oppress_v his_o subject_n with_o tax_n loan_n ship-mony_n &_o c_o according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o little_a horn_n that_o he_o do_v wear_v out_o the_o saint_n the_o whole_a take_v denomination_n from_o the_o better_a part_n eleven_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n well_o know_v that_o he_o have_v a_o secret_a design_n to_o change_v the_o ancient_a government_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o instead_o thereof_o to_o have_v rule_v by_o his_o proclamation_n and_o what_o else_o do_v his_o billetting_n of_o foreign_a soldier_n up_o and_o down_o the_o country_n import_n before_o

and_o receive_v his_o sentence_n before_o the_o high_a court_n of_o justice_n thirteen_o he_o be_v unkinged_a as_o i_o may_v say_v and_o divest_v of_o his_o royalty_n when_o the_o court_n proceed_v against_o he_o as_o charles_n stuart_n a_o delinquent_n without_o any_o kingly_a title_n fourteen_o all_o these_o nation_n yea_o the_o whole_a world_n can_v witness_v that_o he_o be_v behead_v and_o

sovereignty_n out_o of_o the_o nation_n by_o a_o public_a act_n of_o state_n sixteenth_o we_o know_v it_o to_o be_v a_o truth_n that_o though_o charles_n be_v behead_v and_o sovereignty_n abolish_v yet_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o horn_n or_o beast_n appertain_v to_o the_o empire_n still_o retain_v their_o power_n and_o sovereignty_n and_o so_o be_v like_a to_o do_v for_o a_o short_a season_n seventeenth_o it_o need_v no_o proof_n that_o all_o these_o thing_n have_v be_v thus_o act_v as_o upon_o a_o stage_n in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o a_o time_n time_n and_o half_a a_o time_n our_o
