D. I: xiii; 1-2. 1ST BEAST'S DESCRIPTION.

I or he stood? authorities, and

other considerations.-The sea.

Elliott refuted.-A wild beast:

signification in the abstract:

individualization. Precedent

in Dan. vii. This not identi-

cal with Daniel's fourth. Anti-

pathy to an autocracy accounts

for stigmatizing as a beast.

The sea = heathendom

in general, the territory

of the dominant power in

particular. Coming up indi-

cates the epoch.-Horns, heads,

and diadems, as the dragon's.-

Names of blasphemy: the signi-

fication and application. Vi-

tringa q.-Like a panther, &c.:

emblematic significations.-

The dragon gave, &c.: how.

Succession of beast to dragon

not implied.-Application to

the Cæsars,

D. II: v. 3. THE SLAIN HEAD.

Ve. 2 parenthetical.-As it were

&c. not merely wounded, but

slain. One of: which? Not
the first, as Bertholdt says;
nor the fifth, as Stuart; nor
the sixth, as Hengstenberg;
nor the seventh, as Elliott; but
the fourth. Historical appli-
cation,

D. III: v. 3-4. THE REVIVED HEAD.

Earth symbolical or literal?-Be-

hind: why.-Worshipped: in

what sense: Wordsworth re-

futed: why.-Ewald, Heng-

stenberg, and Stuart q.-His-

torical application,

D. IV: v. 5-8. PERSECUTING HEAD.

v. 5. There was given: by whom?

-A mouth, &c.: difficulties.

Precedent in Dan. vii; 8, but

no identity. Bp. Newton re-

futed. Applicability to Nero.-

To make: different views of the

construction.-42 months: ap-

plicability to Nero's persecu-

tion. The five examples of

the half-week of fatality shown

to

tions,

have different applica-

v. 6. To blaspheme. N. T. illus-
trations. His tabernacle: ap-
plicability to Nero's history,

v. 7. It was given, &c.: genuine-

ness of clause: the construc-

tion. Distinct references.-

The saints the Jews. Stages

of rejection of Jewish Church.

Different relative views of the

Jews, .

v. 8. Will worship: the sense.-

He whose name: new and diffi-

cult reading.-The roll of life:

Stuart and Hengstenberg q.-

Slain from the ancient con-
struction not to be rejected,
General purport of this Division,
INTERLUDE: the time present.
v. 9-10. Regression: how to be
accounted for. - Formula to
call attention. - Allusions to
Nero's history?--Purport of In-
terlude,

:

D. V v. 11-12. THE SECOND BEAST.

v. 11. Another beast. Interpreta-

tions of Faber, Stuart, and

Elliott; no evidence for. The

dragon and the three beasts

are generically identical, spe-

cifically diverse. This beast,

in particular, does not sym-

bolize an ecclesiastical power.

The true signification. The

two beasts of this heptad are
consecutive.-Coming up: indi-
cates the epoch.-Out of.-The
earth the Holy land: addi-
tional proof: applicability.-
Two horns two Cæsars: ap-
plicability. Like a lamb.-El-
liott's, Wordsworth's, and Ben-
gel's interpretations refuted.-
Spake as a dragon. Stuart's
and Elliott's constructions re-
futed,
