Mahomet's Name is computed in the Revelations by 666, in which time Antichrift was to come; and 'tis probable Mahomet's Name must be computed by the Arabian Letters: The Greek will make 664, if it be writ Mahometes.

The Numbers above-mention'd will fignifie Chrift's Name to the Men who are Infidels; but, do you confider Christ as the Son of the most High and Immortal God? He shall fulfill the Law of God, and not destroy it, and fhew the Likeness of the Antitype to the Jewish Religion and Sacrifices, and thereby he will inftruct us in all things; the Priests fhall offer to him Gold, Myrrh, and Frankincenfe, and he shall do all these things.

Note, That Chrift must explain the Symbolical Religion of the Jews, and be worship'd by Gifts, as God was..

But when a Voice fhall come thro' the Defart, and fhall declare to Mortals, and cry to all, to make their Path ftreight, and caft Wickedness out of their Heart, and be baptiz'd, every Man of 'em, that being regenerate from above, they may no more break any of the holy Rules; a barbarous Man being enticed by Dancing, fhall cut off Herod beheads the Speaker's Head, and give it as a Re- St. John Baptift ward. Then there fhall be a great Sign to Men, when the beautiful Stone that was preferv'd shall come out of the Land of Ægypt, against which the People of Judea fhall

ftumble, but the Gentiles will be gather'd together by his Conduct; and by him they fhall know the God who governs above, and the Path in the Light; for he fhall fhew Eternal Life to Men who are the Elect, but to the Wicked he fhall bring Eternal Fire. And then he shall heal the Diseased, and all the Infirm, who fhall believe in him: He fhall give Sight to the Blind, and cause the Lame to walk, the Deaf to hear, and the Dumb to speak: He fhall caft out Devils, and raise the Dead: He fhall appease the Storms, and in a defart place he fhall feed Five thousand with five Loaves and a SeaFish; and the relicks fhall fill twelve Bafkets, fuch as Virgins carry.

Then Ifrael, like a Person who is drunk, will not confider, nor hear with their Ears; but when the furious Anger of the Supreme God fhall fall on the Hebrews, and take away all Faithfulness from amongst one another, because they defpis'd the Celestial Son of God, then Ifrael fhall strike him, and fpit Venom upon him with their impure Lips. They being in their Minds excited by a mischievous Anger, will give him Gall for Meat, and harp Vinegar for Drink. They will not fee with their Eyes, being blinder than Moles, more odious than Serpents, and opprefs'd with Sleep, like thofe that are bit by venomous Afps.

But when He shall extend his Arms, and measure as it were all things, and bear a Crown of Thorns, and they fhall pierce his

Side with a Spear, (for which reason there thall be for three hours monstrous dark Night in the middle of the Day) then Solomon's Temple fhall give a wonderful Sign to Men, when He fhall defcend into Hades, to preach the Refurrection to the Dead: But when He shall return in three days to Life, and fhall have demonftrated to Men that Death is like to a Slumber, and have given full Inftruction to his Difciples, he fhall afcend in the Clouds up to a Heavenly Habitation, leaving to the World the Kingdom of his Gospel, and a new Branch of the fanie Name fhall fpring up among the Gentiles, who fhall be govern'd by the Law of the high God; after that, the Soloi fhall be the Guides and then, for the future, there fhall be no more Prophets.

Then the Hebrews fhall reap the Fruit of their wicked Actions, and the Roman King fhall take from them much of their Gold and Silver. Afterwards there fhall be other Kingdoms conftantly in the room of fuch as are destroy'd, and they shall afflict Mankind; and thofe Men fhall fuffer much when they fhall enter upon their unjust Tyranny.

But when the Temple of Solomon fhall fall on the facred Ground, being ruin'd by Men of a barbarous Speech, in brazen Armour; and when the Hebrews fhall be drove out of their own Country, and wander into others, being miferably vex'd, they fhall mix much Darnel with their Bread, (thro' Poverty)

and there shall be great Seditions amongst all Men the Cities having dealt injuriously. with one another, fhall weep by turns; because of their wicked Works, they fhall bear in their Bofoms the Vengeance of the Great God.

Note, This Prophecy of our Saviour was obfcure before it came to pafs, tho' now very plain to us, who know the paft Hiftory; but it is out of its place, and might better be annex'd to the Sixth Book.

This Book ends with the Deftruction of the Jews, and the fecond begins with Diocletian and other Heathen Perfecutors, conquer'd by Constantine.
