Tho. Goodwins exposition of the 11th chapter of the Revelations, concerning the witnesses, and of that street in which they should lie slain, proving it to be meant of Great Britain : and a brief collection of divers strange prophecies, some very ancient / by Benj.

The 2d is, that the Apocalypse predicteth 3 changes that were to befall the Roman Empire, by the first, it was to pass from Paganism to Christianity, by the second, it was to pass from Christianity to Antichristianism and Mahometism, and by the 3d it is to return from Antichristianism and Mahometism, to Christianity purified by a general reformation.

The 3d rule by which he goes is, that the first change fell out under the 6th seal, that the 2d came to pass under 6 of the Trumpets, and that the 3d shall arrive under the 7th Trumpet, that brings in the Vials.
The 4th is, that these three visions, viz. that of the Seals, that of the Trumpets, and that of the Vials, are the three principal Visions, and do comprehend the whole Prophetical History concerning the Roman ⟨p. 201⟩Empire, and the Church of God, and that all the other Visions are but commentaries upon these three.
