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.

2. We may gather it from their acknowledging of this to have been a truth in the Primitive times. Thus Lombardus, the great Master of Sentences, lib. 4. distinct. 24. when he giveth the reason why only two orders, to wit, Presbyteratus, and Diaconatus, are mentioned by way of excellency in the Canons, and are called, Ordines Sacri: he subjoineth this as the reason, quia hos so•os primitiva Ecclesia legitur habuisse, & de his solis pr• ceptum Apostoli habemus; and doth for this end cite, 1 Tim. 3. and Act. 6. Again, that great School-man Cajetan, on Titus 1.5. and 7. hath these words, ubi adverte eundem gradum, idemque officium, significari à Paulo nomine Presbyteri, & nomine Episcopi• Nam praemisit, idcirco reliqui te in Creta ut constituas Presbyteros: & modo probando regulam, dicit, oportet enim Episcopum, &c. By which words, the identity of these two offices is most clearly asserted, and confirmed: and this also will be found to be the mind of many moe.
