The use and intent of prophecy, in the several ages of the world

From the Sacred & Profane History of the World Connected by Samuel Shuckford, who in his book states that Dr Sherlock was a very learned man well worth every one's serious perusal, and which gives a better account of what Schuckford was hinting at concerning the literal interpretation and all the rules of grammar and construction of the prophecy of Gen 3:15 "That the seed of the woman should bruise the serpent's head". Schuckford believes that he cannot express the interpretation of this passage better unless he were to transcribe at large what Dr Sherlock offered.
