Page:True relation of the surprising foreknowledge and wonderful predictions of the Rev. Mr. Allan Logan.pdf/7

 ſhall her plagues come in one day, that is as much as to ſay in one year it ſhall be done; but in the 10th verſe we read of her merchants and lovers ſtanding afar off, for fear of her torments, ſaying, alas, for in one hour is thy Judgements come upon her, that is in one month (taking a day for a year by Daniel's weeks expon'd) or may be in one deciſive battle; her powers may be broken, and this Proteſtant Prince, is plainly pointed at by the Propheteſs Cybelles, to be a Pruſſian who will be endued with the ſpirit of Joſhua, true zealous for the cauſe of Chriſt ; and a defender of the Proteſtant faith, a lover of all who profeſs the ſame, a Saint, a Soldier, a lover of God and good people.

He ſhall be often perplexed and almoſt overcome, but at laſt victorious and die in peace in the land of bliſs, and crown'd amongſt the Saints in heaven.

But before thoſe things come to paſs I perceived when in the Spirit, the four quarters of the earth by turns ſhall be in a manner laid waſte and deſolate, by wars, earthquakes, plagues, peſtilence and famine; the air, waters, eatables, and fruits of the earth ſhall become as flying poiſon to the living; yet in all theſe days of adverſity it ſhall go well with the elect, the broken hearted ſhall be comforted, thoſe that mourn in Zion, ſhall be preſerved, plague or peſtilence ſhall have no power of them, they only ſhall behold it with their eyes, though thouſands fall on their right hand and ten thouſand on their left, yet unto them it ſhall not come nigh; but the wicked ſhall be ſwept away as with an overflowing flood of God's wrath ; and then ſhall the righteous who are left, enjoy as it were a heaven on earth, for the prayer which our Lord taught his diſciples ſhall then be fulfilled," thy Kingdom come, "thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."

This, dear Sir, this I ſend you, God grant you joy and proſperity in the conſideration hereof.

Culroſs, Jan. 19 1732.
