A Key to the Mystery of the Revelation: whereby all it's Dark Meanings, being reduced to one Regular System, are easily accounted for, and explained.

Bookseller Notes

The explanation of the anonymous author (ESTC rather unhelpfully says 'sometimes attributed to Taylor') turns out to be an attack on the Roman Catholic Church, whose evil ways were prophesied in Revelation, and also 'a new enemy sprung out of her [that is, the Cof E] own bowels, to wit, the presbyterians and sectaries.' This little passage, which gives a flavour of the whole, is on a page marked by a dog-ear. A few other dog-ears have less clear objects. ESTC also gives George Lockhart, 1681-1732, author of Memoirs concerning the Affairs of Scotland, as 'person as subject', but we cannot find the reference. The Fentons were a glass-making family.
