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. That one Apiarius, Bishop of Sica, justly censured by a former Council at Carthage, did appeal to the Bishop of Rome. 2. Three Bishops of Rome, Zosimus, Boniface, Caelestinus, one after another, did so far own that appeal, as to admit the sentenced person to their communion, and to send Faustinus and others their Ambassadors to the sixth Council of Carthage (where were convened 217. Bishops, among which was Augustine, and Aurelius Bishop of Carthage, who presided, and is called Pope by Balsamon) desiring the former sentence to be repealed. 3. They grounded their interposing in these matters upon the Council of Nice; some pretended acts whereof, their Commissioner Faustinus produced, wherein it was alleged to be decreed that a Bishop in any place might appeal to the Bishop of Rome. 4. It is observable that these Fathers acknowledged no such act, neither was there any such found amongst the canons of the Council at Nice which any of them had seen, and therefore did suspect the design of the Roman Bishop, as aiming to stretch his power too far; whereupon they directed messengers to the Bishops of Antioch, Constantinople and Alexandria, for obtaining authentic and unsuspected copies of the canons of the said Council, which afterward they received from Cyrillus ⟨p. 426⟩Bishop of Alexandria, and Atticus Bishop of Constantinople, without any such acts in them for Romes Authority, as was alleged.
