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.

The fourth Verse containeth the particular number of these that were sealed, a certain number in both the reckonings for an uncertain: The scope of it, is the more effectually to bear out the consolation for strengthening the Faith of Gods People by such a particular numeration. 1. It is summed, vers 4. whereof is spoken before. 2. It is distributed amongst the Tribes, vers. 5, •, 7, 8.

The scope of the distribution, beside what is said, is, by continuing the manner of speech, used under the Old Testament, of Israel, Tribes, Jerusalem, &c. to hold forth the Gentiles privilege of being ingrafted in the Jews room, and that God kept the same way with them as with Israel, having admitted them to that same Covenant.
