The glorious kingdom of Christ, described and clearly vindicated against the bold asserters of a future calling and reign of the Jews, and 1000 years before the conflagration and the asserters of the 1000 years kingdom after the conflagration : opening the promise of the new heaven and earth and the everlastingness of Christ's kingdom against their debasing it, who confine it to 1000 years ... : answering Mr. Tho.

And in your Late Great Revolution, Epist. in the end, you say, [His Monarchy shall then (1697) begin its Succession, though the Glorious Investiture shall not be till Seventy five years after.]
Can any but a Prophet that is inspired to Expound you, tell what you mean by abundance such passages? What is the difference between the Beginning of the Succession and the Glorious Investiture? What is the Succession? Doth it begin the Thousand years or not? Doth the Succession begin Seventy five years before the Investiture? Is not the Investiture Christs Glorious Appearance?
