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.

The other two Titles, are taken out of the Vision, Chap. 1. To wit, Who hath eyes as a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass. The first of them, setteth forth His Omniscience, that is able to reach the secrets of hearts, and discover the hypocrisy of the ⟨p. 161⟩most subtle hypocrite. Answerable to this title (vers. 23.) He is said to search the heart and the reins: and His being manifested to be such, is His being known to have eyes like unto a flame of fire. The last title, and his feet like unto fine brass, showeth the incorruptness and justness of His way in managing the affairs of His House, and His sovereign irresistible manner in promoving His designs; as having both absolute Authority to Govern, and absolute power to execute what He intendeth. Answerable to this, (vers. 23) He is said to render to every one according to their works. He taketh the first of these two titles: because He is to discover the hypocrisy of a counterfeit Prophetess. And He taketh the last: because He is to threaten her and her followers.
