PROPHECY:

A DISSERTATION ON THE PROPHECIES,

WHICH TREAT OF THE

GRAND PERIOD OF SEVEN TIMES,

BY GEORGE STANLEY FABER, B.D.

RECTOR OF LONG-NEWTON.

For the true account of Times in Scripture, we must have recourse to that SACRED CALENDAR
and GREAT ALMANACK OF PROPHECY, the four kingdoms of Daniel: which are a prophetical chro-
nology of Times measured by the succession of four principal kingdoms. Mede's Apost. of the
Latter Times, chap. xii. Works, book iii. p. 654.
