The \seven/ heads of the {P} are successive as may be gathered from the saying Five are fallen & one is & another is not yet cometh: & when he cometh he must continue a short space: & the Beast {illeg}|th|at was & is not (being wounded to death with a sword) he is the eighth & is of the seven. I take them to be seven successive reigns of the Roman Empire commencing at the opening of the seven seals. Six of them reigned before They are all crowned on the Dragons head but \not/ on the Beasts because six {of} them reigned before the division of the Roman Empire into the Greek & Latin Empires & the seventh was the Greek Empire, & the eighth was the Latin Empire was the eight & of the seven because contemporary to the seventh as a collateral part thereof

When the woman fled into the wilderness being captivated by the Babylonians, it is to be understood that the first Temple was thrown down & \that/ a second Temple \was to be/ built in the room thereof \for the remnant of the womans seed./. {sic} And this is signified by the Angels commanding Iohn to measure \the courts of/ the temple & altar & them that worship therein & leave out the outward court for the Gentiles. Those that worship in this /nw {sic}\ Temple are henceforward called the two witnesses. \These are the remnant of the womans seed who keep the commandm^ts of God & have the testimony of Iesus./ These are the 144000 numbred & sealed out of all the twelve tribes of Israel: they \144000/ that stand on mount Sion with the name of God in their foreheads; they that stand on the sea of glass having gotten the victory over the Beast \& over his image/ & over his mark & over the number of his name: The rest are the Babylonian Gentiles to whome the outward court is given.

This horn came out of one of the four & when they fell it grew mighty not by its own power but by the power w^ch took away the dominion of the Goat, \& under which the life of the Goat was prolonged/ & this was the power of the Roman{illeg}|s|. The Goat signifies all the nations o{n}|f| thi|e| Greek Empire on this side of the river Euphrates during all the times of the Roman Empire. And t|w|hen those nations became united in one dominion under the Romans, they are all together represented by the last horn of the Goat & \become mighty/ \are said to be mighty/ but \not/ by their own power.

Because the little horn was a horn of the Goat we are to look for him among the the {sic} nations w^ch composed the body of the Goat. And because he was to rise up a little horn out of one of the four horns in the & in the latter time of their kingdom & to grow mighty towards the South & towards the East & towards the pleasant land, we are to look for a little kingdom w^ch rose up out of the north west horn & when the in the latter time of the kingdom of the four horns when they fell it grew mighty conque toward Egypt & Syra {sic} & {Pal} Iudea, conquering those countries but not by its own power. And such \a little horn/ was the kingdom of Pergamus. It arose by the revolt of Philetærus from Lysimachus king of Thrace. It assisted the Romans againt {sic} Antiochus the great & took from him all Asia minor on this side the mout {sic} Taurus|:| & then against \It assisted them also in conquering/ Perseus king of Macedon.

The Latines are not comprehended among the nations represented by the Goat. Their power over Greeks is only named to distinguish the times in Goat w^ch the Goat was mighty by his own power from the times in w^ch he was mighty but not by his own power.

The He Goat Ram & He Goat represen {sic} the same kingdoms & nations with the second & third Beast of Daniel & therefore Goat reigned in his four horns till his dominion was taken away by the fourth Beast, that is by the Romans.

To make the grandeur of the Sea of Rome ancienter then we have represenl|t|ed there has been a story framed of the \a/ great \a large/ {d}{on} a {sic} \sumptuous/ donation made to her by Constantine the great & of her being possest of the Alpes Cottiæ before the Lombards invaded Italy. But these are looked upon as fables & the Author above mentioned printed a Paris \Author of the/ Historical dissertation above mentioned affirms that in the days of Pope Leo X there was extant \remaining/ in the Vatican & \till those days/ exposed to public view, an inscription representing \in honour of Pipin the father of Charles the great/ commemorating, Pipinum pium primum fuisse qui amplificandæ Ecclesiæ Romanæ viam apperuerit, Exarchatu Ravennate & plurimis alijs oblatis, that Pipin the father of Charles the great /the pious\ was the first who opened a way to the grandeur of the Church of Rome, & conferring upon her the Exarchate of Ravenna & many other oblations. In \& befor/ the days of reign of Valentinian & Valens /Gratian & Theodosius\ the In {Ch} Ch Bishop of Rome lived splendidly, but this was by the donati{n}|o|ns of \the Roman/ Matrons as Ammianus describes. After those days Italy was overru invaded by barbarous \forreign/ nations & did not get rid of them \her troubles/ before the fall of the kingdom of the Lombards. It was certainly by the Popes victory \of the Sea of Rome/ over the Greek Emperor the king of Lombardy & the Senate of Rome that {the} P |s|he arrose to his|er| greatness.

And now the the Ecclesiastical Monarchy of Rome being extended over all the set up over all the west, the study of the Canons & of what else might regard the Government & Policy of the|i|s Church Monarchy became so much in vogue that not only the Bishops but several private men made collections of the Canons & many Collections of Canons were made by bishops & others in the ninth Century, \✱/^[3] Gratian in the year 1151 published his systeme of the Canon Law called the Decretal which has ever since been in vogue And in the year 1215 the first Lateran Council called a general Council comprized almost all the Co perfected the body of the Canon law in 70 articles, & brought it to that state in w^ch it remains to this day. And thus the little horn changed times & laws

Prop. 1. The 2300 P prophetick days did not commence before the rise of the little horn of the He Goat.

2 Those day{s} did not commence after the destruction of Ierusalem & y^e Temple by the Romans A.C. 70.

3 The time times & half a time did not commence before the year 800 in w^ch the Popes supremacy commenced

4 They did not commence after the reigne of Gregory the 7^th. 1084

5 The 1290 days did not commence before the year {illeg} 6|8|42.

6 They did not commence afth|e|r the reign of Pope Greg. 7^th. 1084

7 The diffence {sic} between the 1290 & 1335 days are a part{illeg} of the seven weeks.

Therefore the 2300 years do not end before y^e year 2132 nor after 2370.

The time times & half time do not end before 2060 nor after

The 1290 days do not begin before 2090 nor after 1374

And Ethelwolf who was the son & successor of Egbert the first {k}|S|axon king of Engla{nd} & began his reign A. C. 836 \& had been a Monk,/ gave \gave/ Petterpence to the Pope & tyths to the Church. And now the Roman Catholic Church was established in all the {illeg} Empire West.

In the year 742 Luitprand king of the Lombards at the sollicitation of Pope Zachary restored four towns w^ch he had taken from the Pope \about three years before/ & made a league w^th him for 20 years, & gave him also the Patrimonium Sabinense & Anconiatanum & & {sic} Auximate & Humanate & the valley of Sutrium & I think |a|t|l|so the Alpes Cottiæ. For he had taken away from the Pope the Patrim Alpes Cottiæ & the Patrimonium Sabinense thirty years before

I{illeg} Aripert king of the Lombards is said to have given the Alpes Cottiæ to S^t Peter for a Patrimony A. C. 706. \his successor/ Luiprand king the Lombards A.C. 713 took from y^e Pope these Alpes Cottiæ & the Patrimonium Sabinense & A. C. 739 he took from the Romans these four towns, Ameria, Orta, Polimartium & Bleda \some towns four or five towns from the Dukedome of Rome/. And A. C. 743|2| he restored what he had taken away & made a league with the Pope for 20 years & gave him also |[|the Patrimonium Sabinense Anconitanum, & Auximate & Humanate &|]| the Valley of Sutr{e}|i|um & some other lands for a Patrimony to S^t Peter.

His successor Luitprand A: C. 713 took them back, & at the same time he took back also the patrimonium Sabinense from the Pope. And A. C. 739 he took also four or five towns from the Dukedom of Rome. But A. C. 742 he restored what he had taken away & made a league with the Pope for 20 years & gave him also the valley of Sutrium & some other lands for a patrimony to S^t Peter.

Rhætia was sometimes infested by the Alemans & Sueves, but Theodosius

After the erecting of these kingdoms the Alemans & Suevians w^ch remained in Germany {we} invaded & conquered Rhætia in the reign of the Emperor Maximus A. C. 455, the Heruli who invaded Italy came /first\ {out} \out from of Germany/ into y^e Empire before the yea at the fall of the Western Cæsars, A. C. 475|6| being then invited out of Germany by some a party of Italians. |Rhætia was under their dominion & descended from them to the Ostrogoths [& afterwards was conquered by the Lombards.]| In the reign of Martian the Emperor, that is, between the years 450 & 456, the Saxons under Hengist & Horsa were called in by the Britains & assisted them for a while but six years after revolted & made war upon them.

These are the kingdoms into which the Latine empire was rent at its first breaking Afterwards some other new one arose|.| {illeg}|T|he Alemans & Suevians w^ch remained in Germany, invaded & conquered – – – – war upon them. But the tenn h{illeg}|or|ns are so called from their number at their first rise. And if the kingdom of the Alans in Spain by reason of its \very/ shortnes duration, be omitted, you will have just tenn.

These are the kingdoms into which the Latine Empire was rent at its first breaking. Afterwards some other new ones arose. The Alemans & Suevians had a kingdom in Germany bordering upon L|G|allia & Rhætia, w^ch sometimes made incursions into Rhætia & was overthrown & conquered by Clodovæus king of he Franks in or about the year 499, & its people then fled into the {the} neighbouring kingdom of the Ostrogoths under Theoderic. But Vpon the death of Valentinian the second, these A. C. 456|5| these Alemans \& Suevians of Germany/ invaded Rhætia but were repulsed & Gallia, but two yeares after, while they were depopulating Rhætia, they were overcome by Burto the master of the hoss to y^e Emperor Majoranus. \And/ &|A|fterwards Rhætia was subject first to the \first/ to Heruli & then to the Ostrogoths all the Odoacer king of the Heruli & then to Odoacer\Theoderic/ king of the Ostrogoths all the time that they reigned in Italy, & being descended to them from the western Emperors. And

Rhætia belonged to the Western Emperors so long as that Empire stood & then \it/ descended to the Odoacer king of the Heruli in Italy & after him to Theoderic \Athalaric Theodatus/ |{W}itiges \& Totilas/| kings of the Ostrogoths & his successors. Vpon the death of the Emperor Valentinian the second \A. C. 455/ the Alemans & Suevians invaded Rhætia, but I do not find that they erected any standing kingdom there. For after two yeares\in the year 457/ while they were \yet/ depopulating Rhætia they were attaqued & beaten \overcome/ /beaten\ by the Em Burto the Master of the horse to the Emperor Theodosius Majoranus|.| & of Yet th & I heare nothing more of them|ir| in \invading/ Rhætia. Yet there was a kingdom of Suevians Alemans |&| S{illeg}|u|evians & other in Germany bordering upon Rhætia & the Rhene which was conquered by Clodovæus king of France in or about the year 499 \& their \last/ king Ermeric slain |was then slain|/ But this kingdom was seated in Germany & only bordered upon Rhætia For its people fled from Clodovæus into the neighbouring kingdom of the Ostrogoths under Theoderic. And Theoderic received them as friends & wrote \a friendly Letter/ to Clodovæus in their favour; & by this means they became inhabitants of Rhetia under the dominion of the Ostrogoths.

I have now numbred all the kingdoms into w^ch the Empire became divided at its first breaking.
