I went after all publique devotions were finish'd to visite the Bishop
of St. Asaph <paren> the Queens Almoner who was now entered upon the
sole Regal Government during her husbands Absence </paren> where was
the Bishops of Lond. & Worcester & Deane of Paules Dr Tenison &c : all
of them not a little surpriz'd at what had happned in <font> Savoy
</font> , among the <font> Voudois </font> , who being so neere their
destruction & final extirpation by the French , as that they were
generaly given up as to slaughter , & that every body expected to heare
of their calamities & final destruction : It pleased God $that the Duke
of <P_926> Savoy <paren> hitherto joyning with the French in
persecution of those poore Christians , & now pressed by the French to
deliver $Verrue & Turin as Cautionary to the French , upon their
suspicion that he might at last come into the German Princes
Confederacy </paren> having seacretly concerted with the Confederats ,
& adjusted the Condition &c , not onely declared for the Confederats ,
but invited those poore Christians from their <font> dispersions &
Latebrae </font> among the Mountain whither they had fled ; but
restor'd them to their Country , Dwellings , Exercise of the Religion ,
beged pardon for the ill usage they had received , & charging it upon
the cruelty of the French , who forced him to it &c : These being the
Remainder of those persecuted Christians , $whom the Bishop had so long
time , affirmed to be the 2 Wittnesses spoken of in the Revelation who
should be Kild , & brought to life againe ; (EVELYN-E3-P2,926.73)

It was looked on as an extraordinary thing ; That this Prophetique
Bish: should perswade two fugitive Ministers of the <font> Vodois
</font> to returne to their Country , & furnish them with pounds
towards their journey , at that very time , when it was believed
nothing but universal destruction was to be expected , assuring them ,
& shewing them from the Text in the Apocalypse that their Country men
should be returned safely to their Country , before they arived , let
them make what hast they could : (EVELYN-E3-P2,926.74)

This so hapning contrary to all expectation & appearance , did
exceedingly credit the Bishops Confidence how that prophesy of the
Witnesses , should so come to passe , so just at the time & very moneth
of which he had spoken some yeares before : (EVELYN-E3-P2,926.75)

I went afterwards with him to visite Mr. Boyle & Lady Ranelagh his
sister , to whom he explaind the necessity of its so falling out by the
Scriptures in a very wonderfull manner , which he most skillfully &
learnedly made out ; with what events were immediately to follow of the
French Kings ruine , The Turkes , & Calling of the Jewes to be neere at
hand ; but that the total Kingdom of Antichrist , would yet not be
utterly destroyed til years , when Christ $should begin the Milennium ,
not as himselfe $personally reigning in Earth Visibly ; but that the
true Religion & universal peace , should obtaine thro all the world :
(EVELYN-E3-P2,926.76)

he shewed how Mr. Brightman , Mr. Meade , and other Interpreters of
their Events , failed , by mistaking & reckoning the yeares as the
Latines & others did , to consist of the present Calculation & so many
<P_927> dayes to the yeare ; wheras , the Apocalyps , reckons after the
Persian account , as Daniel did whose Visions St. John all along
explains , as meaning onely the Christian Church : &c.
