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. 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 faithfull 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 principall purposes and words contained in this treatise.

The second instance is in Micah's practice, Judg. 17. where it is clear, that they counted not that Idol to be God, but intended the worship of the true God by it: for (vers. 3.) the mother saith she had dedicated that money to the Lord, to make a graven and molten Image, intending expressly to honour the Lord, in bestowing so much on that Image for him: For she first dedicateth the money to Him, and then bestoweth it (as it were) for His use upon that Image. 2. It appeareth by Micah's great zeal to have a Levit to be his Priest, and his joy when he obtained it, and his promising himself a blessing from the Lord upon that account; which certainly supposeth, that he intended good service to JEHOVAH in the doing of that, vers. 13. And lastly, we find that Priest enquiring counsel for the Danites; not from the Image, but from the Lord: whereby it appeareth, that they intended not the setting up of new gods, but the honouring of the Lord and confirming of themselves by visible signs of His presence.
