That the Turkish Empire is near some fatal Catastrophe, not only the present Posture of Affairs there, but what is written in the Apocalypse gives us Ground to believe. The Turks were prepared and raised up to be a killing Scourge to the Apostate Christian World, for the Space of an Hour, a Day, a Month, and a Year, Rev. 9.15. which makes 396 Years. It is generally agreed that the Turkish Empire, in the present Ottomanical Family, began in the Year 1300. •etavius makes it to be Two Years sooner, but then it must cease being a Woe before the Year 1696 is expired. That's the Time Mr. Brightman long ago fixed on. ••sted (in Trifol. Prophetic. p. 164.) says, that sine dubio finem habebit Tyrannis Turcica Anno Christi 1694. Ra••ius was many Years since persuaded, that after the Year 1694. the Church would see Halcyon Days. That Year is just now expired. We in America hear nothing of the Turks Downfall.
