An APPENDIX.
This Prediction I have added by way of Appendix, concerning Greatest Revolutions in the so near Ap∣proaching Year, 1698.
Found in the Study of that eminent, Learned Person, Justus Lipsius, who Dyed in the year 1606.
Transcribed by Dr. Mayer, into his Preface upon all the Prophets, published 1653. and there to be seen by any who will inspect it.
Translated, and Remark'd upon according to its Agree∣ment with Scripture Prophecy, and the Line of it's Time explain'd in several Discourses; de∣monstrating, the time, times and half time sworn by Christ, as the space of the Antichristian Apostasy shall end in the year 1697. And so these so Grand Events appear in a settlement and Consistency, 1698.
