And I John (Joh: annes) saw the holy Citie, comming downe from Hea­ven as a Bride prepared, &c. shew'd by one of the seven Angels (to wit) Win­ged time (the 1700. yeare) which had the seven Vials full of the seven last plagues, saying, J will shew Thee the bride the Lambes wife; Even this vxorem Agni: The spring in her variety of Colours, the Earth in all her riches, who begins with; it: for Times farwell, shewed or signified. His last houre glasse run out.

But to bee briefe herein, as every Moneth of the Yeare shews, Named severally, by the Tribes and Apostles Names, written on those Gates and Foundations twelve in number: where Juda for January and the like, and the Wall answerable thereto twelve thou­sand furlongs all bidding time a thousand times farwell: So by the measure of the Angel, Time so swiftly fleeing a father of many generations, even the Yeare a­foresaid 1644: is measured by those Cubits 144. With the foure quarters of the Yeare, three moneths alotted each: Of such even Length and Breadth, all foure-square: Three to the East, and three to the West, as it were, &c. where the equall Day and Night put into the reckoning or ballance. And so every Gate of one pearle, one and thirty dayes a peice: The most of these Vni­ons, so going on with this vaile of misery en­ded.

And farther for the very place thus figuring aged time: the Tower of Londons si­tuation represented, the Cities safety, that great store house even shew'd St. John then newly done: unreparable now not worth your beholding to what then was: turned in­to a prison, a place of teares and death, toge­ther with the street of this Citie not un­known of pure Gold like transparet glasse: the mint on both sides lettic'd.

Cap. 7, verse 14. In Albion Array St. Iohns reply to that Elder, in plaine Eng­lish makes it knowne: Saying SIR, thou knowest and whence they came, If thou art one of the 24.
