And another Thing, that makes it exceeding manifest that That Day of the Church's greatest Advancement on Earth, which is foretold in Scripture, has never yet come, is, that it is so plainly and expressly revealed that this Day should succeed the last of the four Monarchies, even the Roman, in its last State, wherein it •s divided into ten Kingdoms, and after the Destruction of Antichrist, signified by the little Horn, whose Reign is contemporary with the Reign of the ten Kings. Th•se Things are very plain in the iid and viith Chapters of Daniel, and also in the Revelation of St. John. And it is also plain by the xith Chapter of Romans, that is shall be after the national Conversion of the Jews, which shall be as Life from the Dead to the Gentiles, and the Fullness of both Jews and Gentiles should be come in, and all the Nation of the Jews and all other Nations shall obtain Mercy, and there shall be that general Ingathering of the Harvest of the whole Earth, of which all that had been converted before, either o• Jews or Gentiles, were but the first Fruits.—And many other Evidences of this Point might be mentioned, which for Brevity's Sake I omit.
