could not be introduced, without infringing the order of representation, and, perhaps, occasioning perplexity that might be inextricable. And, for these reasons, it is said to have been "opened," so that its contents might be fully comprehended, by a proper degree of attention. The subjects, represented in this smaller volume, are the following: 1. The descriptive character of "the two Witnesses, prophesying in sackcloth;" their various powers, both for action and passion; their war with "the Beast that ascendeth out of the bot"tomless deep;" their violent death, and resurrection; their ascension into the heaven, which had invited them to itself; and the fall of the tenth part of the great City, in consequence of it. Pages 471-501. 2. A representation of the various fortunes of the symbolical Woman, or the genuine Church of Christ, in general, as she has existed from the time of Constantine the Great, and will exist till the close of the grand period of "the one thousand two hundred and sixty years;" and, in particular, of her giving birth to that divinelydistinguished Man-child, who is to "rule all "the nations with a rod of iron;" of the War, which took place between MICHAEL and his Angels, and the DRAGON and his Angels, in the heaven, where the Man-child then was, risen to maturity; of the means, by which the DRAGON and his Angels were overcome, and "cast out into the Earth;" and the consequences which resulted, from his being thus cast out, to the nations, over which he had any power, till the close of the same great period. Pages 513-568. 3. The origin, general history, distinguishing characteristics, blasphemous and idolatrous propensities, power and extent of dominion, of the Beast, whom St. John saw "rising up out of the Sea," or the secular Roman Empire, both pagan and Christian, and the source from which he derived his "power, and his throne, and great authority." Pages 569-598. 4. The origin, and peculiarities, of the Beast, which the prophet saw " coming up out of the Earth," or the spiritual dominion of the Pope; his power, idolatrous propensities, and prodigies of falsehood and cruelty; his causing an image to be made of the former Beast, and the penalties under which he enforced the worship of it; and his fixing a Mark upon all who acknowledged his supremacy, with the nature of that Mark. Pages 599-623. 5. The general characteristics of the Reformed Churches, the Lutheran, the Calvinistic, and the Church of England; and the dignified firmness and consistency with which the lastmentioned of these has uniformly held forth her protest, against the unscriptural Doctrines of the Church of Rome, and the enormities to which they invariably tend, which, conjointly, have hitherto constituted the disabilities, under which the members of that Church have laboured in this country, ever since "the DRAGON and his Angels" were forcibly expelled from her political heaven, at the time of the Reformation; the blessedness, nevertheless, of those, who should" die in the Lord," that is, of those, who sincerely embracing the principles of pure religion, should either be cut off, or cut themselves off, from the spiritual Communion of Rome. Pages 624-666. 6. The symbolical Harvest; or the anticipated effects, more particularly, of the pouring out of the third, fourth, and fifth Vials. Pages 666-674. 7. The symbolical Vintage; or an anticipation of the events which are to ensue, during the pouring out of the sixth and seventh Vials. Pages 674-684. 8. The preparations long making, against the pouring out of these Vials, by that highly-favoured nation, which, as it is foretold, has made a most conspicuous figure during the recent Harvest, and appears destined to be similarly distinguished in the ensuing Vintage; the dangers, and vicissitudes, which her Reformed Church has undergone, and the special Providence that has been hitherto visible in her preservation. Pages 685-706. 9. A historical, and more particular description of the great Causes of all these plagues ;-even of "the great Harlot, that sitteth upon many "waters," and who is mystically called "BABY"LON the GREAT,”—and of " the Beast, having 66 seven heads and ten horns," on which she is seated; together with a prospective view of the fate which awaits her. Pages 775-811. 10. The fall of BABYLON the GREAT; the remarkable circumstances which will attend it; one final solemn warning, to the nations, to 66 come out of her," the mourning which her fate will occasion, among those, who had wantoned in her luxuries, or been enriched by her commerce; the exultation in the heaven on account of it; the suddenness and violence of it, and the awful change which will immediately, and irremediably take place. Pages 811-845. 11. The state of the genuine Church of Christ after this catastrophe. Pages 846-859. 12. A more detailed account of the last great War; which will bring about this great and happy change in the affairs of the world. 859-884.' Pages Such are the contents of "the little Book;" which, as it thus treats at large of the REFORMATION, its main characteristics, its causes, and effects, as well as of the more remarkable events in any degree connected with, or proceeding from it, from the very time of Constantine the Great, down to the close of the great period of the one thousand two hundred and sixty years, does certainly supply every prophetic illustration that can be desired, relative to the moral and religious state of the world, during these last days;-that is, from the latter part of the period indicated by the sounding of the sixth Trumpet, when it was introduced, to the close of that which commenced with the sounding of the seventh Trumpet.
