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.

4. Beside what worship is given to Saint• and their Images, there is also a worshipping of the material Cross, Nails and other things made use of in our Lords suffering, and of the Images of that Cross, of the Saints Relics, and Clothes of the Sacrament of the Altar or Mass, or the Host, as they call it; these they adore, to these (especially the Cross) they direct their prayers, as, O crux, ave, spes unica, hoc passionis tempore, Auga piis justitiam reisque dona veniam. Hail O Cross, my only hope, in this time of Christs suffering, increase in the Godly righteousness, and grant pardon to sinners. This is brought in by Aquinas, 3. part. 4. art. quast. 25. as the ground whereby he pleadeth the highest degree of divine Worship to the Cross; because that song is used in the Church, insisted on also by Bonaventura, lib. 3. insententias, ad distinct. 9:

Beside what worship is given to Saint• and their Images, there is also a worshipping of the materiall Crosse, Nails and other things made use of in our Lords suffering, and of the Images of that Crosse, of the Saints Reliques, and Cloaths of the Sacrament of the Altar or Masse, or the Hoast, as they call it; these they adore, to these (especially the Crosse) they direct their prayers, as, O crux, ave, spes unica, hoc passionis tempore, Auga piis justitiam reisque dona veniam. Hail O Crosse, my only hope, in this time of Christs suffering, encrease in the Godly righteousnesse, and grant pardon to sinners. This is brought in by Aquinas, 3. part. 4. art. quast. 25. as the ground whereby he pleadeth the highest degree of divine Worship to the Crosse; because that song is used in the Church, insisted on also by Bonaventura, lib. 3. insententias, ad distinct. 9:
These practices (and innumerable moe) are the practices not of a few particular persons, but are contained in the public Liturgies of their Churches, we shall now enquire in their Doctrine concerning these practices, wherein we will not find them so unanimous: our enquiry is especially concerning the worshipping of Images.
