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. Together with some practical observations, and several digressions, necessary for vindicating, clearing, and confirming many weighty and important truths.

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 principall purposes and words contained in this treatise.

Neither can it be denied but Faith is a part of that new heart, and a special fruit of that Spirit which He promised to pour out upon His People. Sixthly, In Tit. 2.14. our being separated to be a peculiar people to Christ and zealous of good works, &c. is expressly asserted to be His design in laying down of His life for His People. Also, Tit. 3. vers. 5, and 6. the washing of Regeneration and renewing of the holy Ghost (which must take-in all particular Graces) are said to be shed on us abundantly through Christ Jesus; which cannot otherwise be understood, but that we have these by the intervening procurement of Christs satisfaction. Lastly, all that we pray for, we pray for it in Christs name, as having obtained access to seek the same through His purchase: Now, it cannot be denied but Faith, Holiness, and increase therein, may be prayed-for: and therefore these must be understood to be procured by Him also.
