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.

WE told you that the scope of the Spirit in these words, is, to give a little glimpse of the glorious outgate the Church of Christ should have after the storms of Antichrist, and these corrupt Teachers that were coming to lay the Church low. This outgate, is, 1. generally represented to John, from vers. 9. to vers. 13. and then more particularly explicated by an Elder to John, from vers. 13. to the end.

The first hath two parts: The first whereof, is the representation of the redeemed Church standing before the throne with white robes, and palms in their hands, and a sweet song in their mouth, whereof we have spoken. In the 11. and 12. Verses, there is a further enlargement and explication of that glorious estate of the Church, and the Saints happiness, by bringing in all the Angels, admiring Gods goodness to His Church, and taking a share of the Song of praises with them, it being such a glorious piece of work, as would serve not only all the Saints, but the Angels also: so then in these two Verses, is set down the Angels approbation of, and concurrence with, the redeemed Church.
