My Brethren,

They that would serve God in their Generation, according to his Will, ought to inquire diligently into the particular Truths of the Age they live in, which are Recorded in his Holy WORD. The days wherein we live, being not only the latter Times of the first Apostasy, prophesied of by the Apostle, 1 Tim. 4.1, 2, 3. but the last days of those perilous Times mentioned by him, 2 Tim. 3.1, 5.

I have crowded my self into the number of those that run to and fro to find it: And have by searching the Prophesies of this Book of the Revelation, found three Mysteries, wherein are some things that seem to relate unto this Age and Generation wherein we live, viz. That of the two Witnesses, of the seven Vials, and of the two Kingdoms, to wit, of Christ, and of Antichrist. Which I have made the Subject of this little Treatise, in the reading whereof, I doubt not but you will find some Truths that are necessary ⟨image 3⟩for the Saints in this Age and present Generation to know, and also some duties which the ISRAEL of God ought to do in this DAY and Age wherein we live.
