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.

1. The earthly-minded professor, who supposeth gain to be Godliness, lieth open to this storm, when set upon by a tentation to error, which is backed with worldly wealth, ease, ⟨p. 383⟩credit, preferment, &c. Of such the Scripture in many places speaketh, who, upon that account, have been ensnared with this bate, Phil. 3.19. 2 Pet. 2.15. Jud. 11. And upon this account it is, that, 1 Tim. 6.10. the love of money, is called the root of all evil, which while some covet after, they have erred from the faith.
