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 worship which the Scripture only appropriateth to the true God, as praying and vowing to Him, swearing by His Name, building Temples, Altars, &c. seeking the restoring of health and such like.
2. We call that Religious worship, which Idolaters use to give to their supposed gods, such as to kiss an Image, Hos. 13.2. to sacrifice and burn incense to them, set lights before them, and appoint Priests for them, Judg. 17. and of this sort was that Idolatry (Act. 14.) of offering sacrifices to Paul and Barnabas; for, these things have ever been counted Religious by men, and given to Idols upon that account, neither ever hath it been or can it be given to Images upon another account.
