The Key of the Revelation
(London, 1643) was Joseph Mede's most important eschatological work, and the one that Mather studied most carefully. Mather also seems to have been
|
| influenced by Mede's
The Apostasy of the Latter Times
(London, 1641).
|
| 34. Biblia, Revelation, 1. Mather copied long passages into the Biblia from Jurieu's
The Accomplishment of the Scripture Prophecies
(London, 1687). In Part I, 28 Jurieu argued that Revelation was nothing but a paraphrase of Daniel, 7.
