A commentary upon the book of the Revelation Wherein the text is explained, the series of the several prophecies contained in that book, deduced according to their order and dependence on each other; the periods and succession of times, at, or about which, these prophecies, that are already fulfilled, began to be, and were more fully accomplished, fixed and applied according to history; and those that are yet to be fulfilled, modestly, and so far as is warrantable, enquired into. Together with some practical observations, and several digressions, necessary for vindicating, clearing, and confirming many weighty and important truths. Delivered in several lectures, by that learned, laborious, and faithful servant of Jesus Christ, James Durham, late Minister of the Gospel in Glasgow. To which is affixed a brief summary of the whole book, with a twofold index, one of the several digressions, another of the chief and principal purposes and words contained in this treatise.A commentarie upon the book of the Revelation Wherein the text is explained, the series of the several prophecies contained in that book, deduced according to their order and dependance on each other; the periods and succession of times, at, or about which, these prophecies, that are already fulfilled, began to be, and were more fully accomplished, fixed and applied according to history; and those that are yet to be fulfilled, modestly, and so far as is warrantable, enquired into.

4. There is a difference betwixt these privileges and benefits of a Covenant that flow from it as such, and to all in such a relation: thus all wives, as such, have interest in their Husbands, all adopted Children in their Parents, what ever years they be of, &c. and these benefits and privileges of a Covenant, which are but conditionally promised, even to these within such relations, and require more than being in Covenant▪ as although a Wife cannot but have interest in her Husband, as she is a Wife; yet can she not plead the Dowry covenanted, except she continue a faithful Wife; for, if she fail in the essentials of the covenant, she may be divorced: or, an adopted Son, cannot plead actual possession of the inheritance, though •e be a Son, till the term come that is appointed by the Father, or he perform something called-for in the right of adoption, which is insinuated also, Gal. 4.1, 2, &c.
