Together with some pracitcal observations and several degressions, (an index whereof is prefixed) necessary for vindicating, clearing and confirming many weighty and important truths. To which is affixed, a brief summary of the whole Revelation, with an alphabetical index of the chief and principal purposes and words contained in this commentary. As also, two sermons preached by the author, on Rev. xxii. 20. Together with a collection of same memorable things in his life.
