6. When great things are near at hand, or some mighty appearance of God for the glory of his Name, and salvation of his Church, and exaltation of Zion, and downfall of their Enemies, God should be sought unto, and be acknowledged by his own People: thus did Daniel, Dan. 9. 2. I Daniel understood by Books, the number of the years, whereof the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the Prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem. And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by Prayer and Supplications with Fasting, and Sackcloth, and Ashes, verse 3.

Brethren, Thus it is with us, we understand by Books, i.e. by the Book of Daniel, the Revelations of St. John, and by the Writings of good Men, that the number of the years of our spiritual Captivity under mystical Babylon, is near expired; and that glorious things are near; and therefore we should now in an extraordinary manner cry to God, and acknowledge his Power, and Wisdom, and Faithfulness. O look up, the Vision will (suddenly) speak.
