raign and hinder your Saints 1000. years glory The Pope is Antichrist But you deny the Pope to be Antichrist in troth he is beholding to you but I believe him Antichrist and you a limb of him But what makes you huddle up so many texts together to prove the man of sins arising pag. 101. I perceive you understand not what is meant by Gog or Magog like enough fore-runners of Antichrist as the little horn was a type of him in Dan. 7. meaning that Tyrant Antiochus Epiphanes that sagacious or cunning but blasphemous wretch You quote Esay 14. 13. to be understood of Antichrist which was plainly spoken of the King of Babylon v. 4. And 2 Thes 2. you will have understood of Antichrist not the Pope Have you not been tutor'd by a Jesuit But let us try your Reasons why the Pope no Antichrist First because the Pope or rather Romish Babylon is ser forth by the name of a Woman as Rev. 17. but Antichrist is called the Man of sinne 2 Thes 2.3 Answ Antichrist is set forth with a double form Rev. 13. 4 11. As Tyrano and false Prophet yet but one Beast v. 18. So Antichrist as Woman or Whorish Church seducing but as Man viz the Series of Popes tyrannizing Secondly the Romish Babylon confesseth God Qui scribit seservum servorum provat s●… tyrannum tyrannorum but Antichrist shall exalo himself above all Gods 2 Thes 2.4 Answ He shall confess him in words but deny in deeds so does Romish Babylon or rather Pope exalting himself above Augels and Kings who are called Gods 3. You say That Romish Babylon shall be destroyed before the appearance of Christ but Antichrist shall not Answ The Romish Church shall be diminished before Christs appearance as Judge but not quite destroyed Partly she is destroyed by the breath of Christs mouth his word and spirit already and the rest by the brightness of his comming 2 Thes 2.8 but you may finde that in Rev. 17.17 and chap. 18.18 the City of Rome is to be destroyed by fire but the Pope shall survive and the Romish Church though diminished till last day 2 Thes 2.8 Rev. 19.20 plainly Sancta Maria Regena calisalva nos I could shew you many Arguments to prove the Pope Antichrist as 1. Who is against the honour Church and truth of Christ is Antichrist such is the Pope praying to Saints which derogates from Christ counting himself as head of the Church remitting sins bidding the Virgin Command her Son c. 2. Who exalts himself above all that is called God Though he 0204 0725 V call himself Servus serverum Dei is Antichrist but so doth the Pope as above Emperours Kings nay Angels who are called Gods The Lateran Councel applauded the Pope saying Thou art all things and above all things And again the same Councel said to him thou art another God on earth Read Jewels Apology page 447. or Aug. Civit. Dei l. 20. c. 19. expounding in Templum or Annot. of Assemb on 2 Thes 2.4 But 3 dly Who sits in the Seat of Antichrist is Antichrist but so doth the Pope on seven hills of Rome Rev. 17.9 where were seven Governments and the Pope the eighth trading for souls of men Rev. 18. And in Johns time ruling over Nations Rome to wit was the now feat of Antichrist what need further proof From your page 112. to 128. you almost trifle away Pen Ink and Paper for my part I shall not fight with your shadow Yet a word to what you say You would prove that upon the last return of the Jews to their Country Antichrist which you call Gog out of Ezek. 38. shall destroy or spoil Israel till Christ succour them But. 1. The Jews finall return to their Country is disproved already 2. Gog is not litterally Antichrist though an enemy to Christs Church By Gog understand the people of Asia so called from Giges the King by Magog the Scythians and by both understand the Turk who came of them and raigns over them Nov Who Gay and Magog though the Gogims did much spoyl Israel under Antiochus and were overthrown by the Macchabees God wonderfully assisting upon the Mountains of Israel in the latter dayes not the last Ezek. 38.16.21 Yet we expect a further destruction of the enemies of Gods Church comprehended under Gog and Magog Turk c. Read Rev. 20. which will hardly come to passe till Christ come to judgement Rev. 20.9 when Christ shall come with flames of fire to destroy his enemies But Gog cannot be Antichrist because of Unbelieving for Antichrist must sit in the Temple as owning God c. Now you would prove that this Gog Antichrist shall be destroyed by Christ before the end and quote Rev. 19.11 No wart with Gog on Israels Mount to prove it but that Text is meant of Christs comming to judgement as appears by vers 15. the sword comming out of Christs mouth being his sentence to the wicked at the last day when he shall slay them with Go ye cursed c. Thus all warres in the letter on the Mountains of Israel are ended P. 128. And I come to examine Christs personall raign in earth 1000. years when Gog and all enemies shall be subdued to him where a thousand to one but I shall finde you tardy Your grand proof is because Christ was to enjoy the Throne of David Luke 1. which was not spirituall but temporall But consider Christ tells Pilate that his Kingdom was not of the world John 18.36 Christs personall Raign disproved as in Earth in the sence that Caesars was so Christ must succeed David spiritually because also Of his Kingdom there must be no end Luke 1.33 Now by Jacob and Israel there the Saints are meant the true Israel of God thus he is called King of Saints Rev. 15 And to this purpose other Texts of Scripture must be understood where Christ is called a King that learned Sermon of Dr. Goodwin on Rev. 5.10 we shall raign on earth speaks louder and more to purpose then all other Books on that subject yet because Christs Kingdom was spiritual before his ascension I believe it will be so still because the Angels told the Disciples so Acts 1.11 This same Jesus shall so come in like manner as you have seen him go into Heaven So that Paraeus expounds the Saints raiguing in earth spiritually as they shall be Kings and Priests to wit sacrifycing sin raigning over wicked by the spirit in them for the head Christ raigning the members raign but the Weapons of our warfare are not carnall The Saints raign in earth may be these wayes first by their prayers Saints Raign spirituall prevailing with God to bring judgements or blessings upon the earth thus read Isay 45.11 Concerning the works of my hands command ye me how did Moses and Elias even govern the world by their prayers to say nothing of the witnesses Rev. 11-2 By being admitted into high

Adams Condition IN PARADISE DISCOVERED Wherein is proved That Adam had right to Eternall Life in Innocency and forfeited it for Him and His. ALSO A Treatise of the Lawful Ministry and The manner of Sion's Redemption opened In Answer to a Book of George Hammond a Taylor of Biddenden in Kent who calls himself Pastor of Christ's Church there And affirms that Adam's Sin did bring but Temporal Death on him and all in his Loyns and that all his Enjoyments in Paradise were Earthly That none yet are in Heaven or Hell That the Jews shall return to their own Land and enjoy it That Christ shall reign in Earth a thousand years c. The truth is asserted and proved and the Errours refuted By Hezekiah Holland Anglo-Hibernus Minister of Sutton-Valence in Kent Geo. Hammond's Book is in part an Answer to a Letter sent him from Mr. Rutton about a former Dispute between them about Original Sin c. Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge Job 38.2 Desiring to be Teachers of the Law but understanding neither what they say or whereof they affirm 1 Tim. 1.7 Contentionis quàm veritatis cupidiores Cic. Orar. l. 89. London Printed for George Calvert at the Half-Moon in the New Buildings in Pauls Church-yard 1656. To his benevolous Friend Mr. Maximilian Taylor of Sutton SIR YOu remember how George Hammonds Books were spread in my Parish was it not time for me to look to my people I took his Book and by way of preaching answered and confuted its errours when I remember you took notes covetous to enform your own spirit of the truth What you once heard preached you have here printed by your timely encouragement And indeed though I owe more then my self to many friends in and about Sutton as to your noble Cousen Mr. Edward Taylor of Hollingborn to my ingenious Friend M. Edw. Knatchbull of Sutton to my bountiful Friend Mr. Tho Tyndall to my Cordiall Friend Mr. James Lamb of Sutton yet this Book owes its self to you next to my self of all men under Heaven For it lay by me as a dead thing forgotten till you revived my muse and your encouragements gave life to my Book When Satibarzanes who revolted from Alexander the great challenged any of his Souldiers to fight as George Hammon almost doth the Clergy Erignis an old but spirited man accepted the Challenge with that expression What Souldiers Alexander once had I l'e shew you and at the first On-set slew him 'T is a folly to think to conquer an Anabaptist persuadebis non persuaseris such will take no answer If I can strengthen my own people I am well enough for my thinks ●h●ar Motis in Erasmus saying that to go about to confute Hammon is but 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to measure the sand c. when I consider the many errours in his Book I am thinking how he might have excused all with that jest in Lipsius si vera dico agnoscite those are rare si falsa ignoscite that 's most of four Book He much speaks against learning Oxford and Cambridge-knowledg 't is wisht he had more of their knowledge that his book might have had fewer errours but in that he is but 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 I finde errours of moment in his book not tolerable in a Common-wealth R. Answ in the Book As that Adams sin brought on him and all in his loyns but temporall death c. Hence no Children eternally lost or need Baptisme yet the Apostle sayes One mans offence brought condemnation on all Rom. 5. were we not by nature Sons of wrath twice dead by nature and otherwise Jude 12. Nay born altogether in sins 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 John 9. notwithstanding the Pharisees obrayding the blind man How the whole man was infected is some difficulty but as the blind man said John 9.25 this one thing I know I was blind and now I see and we did once see in Adam and now are naturally miserable poor blind and waked Rev. 3. I confesse all in Adam sinned onely against the first Covenant but that the breach of that Covenant merited no more then temporall death I deny because of Rom. 5.18 That the souls of Adams Progeny were in Adam according to subsistence I have proved not according to essence When the souls were created in disposed bodies is controverted Tract 4. de Anim. rat Quest 1. Pag. 327. yet Eustachius concludes in maribus circa diem a conceptu quadragesimum in foeminis circa octogesimum only excepts our Saviours body whose conception was extraordinary Another errour is holding that actuall sins onely Sum of Relig Pag. 92. make men Vessels of dishonour p. 22. Dr. Usher denies sin to be the cause of Reprobation and that truly onely the means to bring it about Gods decree to be glorified in mercy and justice is the first cause of all Were not some fore-ordained to condemnation Jude 4. read Exod. 9.16 Prov. 16.4 VVicked made for the day of destruction God raised up Pharaoh for temporall ruine but why not for eternall it seems he hated him nay hardened first his heart Exod. 7.3 so persons are reprobated by the means of sin and thousands for onely Adams being by nature Children of wrath and dying out of Christ Again he denies Hell in being at present See Answ in the Book or any in glory as yet contrary to 2 Pet. 2.8 Indeed such an Opinion was once as appears by Revel 14.13 but Reformation cryed it down vers 6. The great Humanist Dr. Fotherbey in his learned book against Atheists given me by a good Friend proves that Atheists are much tormented with fear at their dying hour Mr. Tho Barber of Char● l. 2. c. 13. because of hell And are not all souls of Saints alive unto God Luke 20.38 vvhere are souls departed asleep for so many thousand of years did not Moses and Elias talk with Jesus Matth. 17. I thought Peter knew not what he said it seems it was Moses and Elias who talked in their sleep to Jesus Why did God command a reward at Even to be payd to labouring men Mat. 24.14 since those who labour unto the death for him have no reward till day of judgement I will not much longer trouble you Mr. Taylor but refer you to the book Ep. Ded. to Sr. Tho Moore jamque tuum non meum in the words of Erasmus only when George Hammond or any of that judgement say De vol. Dei that God would save more then he doth believe them not though Matth. 23.37 speak that Language at first sight Lombard or Moulin will enform you that Christ did gather all ordained to life out of Jerusalem ipsis sacerdotibus nolentibus though the Scribes and Pharisees were unwilling to have it so Who can hinder Gods work Isay 53.13 But to end I fear my studying to be brief makes me too obscure I passe by George Hammonds jeeres as telling Mr. Rutton

Bishops who did deny obedience to the Chu of Rome as appears by the B. of Bangors Letter to Aug. the Monk desiring his subjection to the Romane Church Notum sit vobis c. Nos esse sub gubernatione Episcopt Caerlegionis super Osca c. And before Sir Hen. Spelman out of the Annals of Gisburn cites thus Concil Anglic. p. 188. and p. 26. Aburbe legionum Meneviam translata sedes Metropolitana tempore S. David Episcopiper Arthurum from Caerlyon upon Oske the Metropolitan Seat was translated to St. Davids by King Arihur in the time when St. David was Bishop where there stood 13 chief Bishops where Consecration was without making any subjection to any other Church And Lanfrank Bishop of Canterbury under William the Conquerour refused to be subject to Gregory the 7. of Festivals of the Church pag. 419. of Rome Of which read Dr. Hammond who pag. 412. proves That Christianity was planted in England in the Apostles time Oregine confesseth That Christianity was in England in his time on Ezek. Hom. 4. And Tertullian affirms here it before his time Some gather som ground from 2 Tim. 4.10 where Crescens is sent to Galatia conceived to be France from whence the Gospel came to us Mr. Cambden tells us from antient Authors that Joseph of Arimathea planted it here but enough to prove that our Original was not from Rome though in after-time the Superstition of Rome crept in amongst us which we have now forsaken and are ordained according to the Gospel-Rules Who desires more satisfaction about Ministers Ordination let him read the learned Treatise of Mr. John Collins Vindiciae Ministerii Evangelici proving That gifted-men should take the Seal of the Church by Ordination as Barnabas and Paul did Act. 13. where the Ministry and not People set them apart as Christ did his Disciples Act. 10.41 And the Greek word when applyed to Ecclesiastical business requires not the peoples consent Read Mr. Vines on 2 Pet. 2. 1. pag. 20 proving 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that the Apostles ordain Elders without the peoples consenting or giving in Suffrages Act. 14.23 Read Leigh on the Word Yet I am not against peoples choice also where to be had conveniently Read the Diatribé printed 1647. proving that many of our godly Reformers had onely inward Call and Peoples Suffrages now as Election makes a King more then his Coronation so peoples Consent more then Ordination But I forbear knowing that the approbation of the Ministry by reason of their abilities is far beyond that of the people Well! we have Ministers both ways set apart yet the Baptizers own them not But so much in general about Ministers which your Characters caused me to say yet you find fault rather with the personall faults of the Ministry than with their Office The Office is good though a Cataphas or a Judas miscarry in it He amongst you that 's without fault let him throw the first stone The manner of Sions Redemption discovered NOw I come to examine your Sion's Redemption How Sion redeemed in which you plead for the Jews return to their own Countrey Brightman was of that Opinion and that Euphrates therefore is to be miraculously dryed up Rev. 16. In Rev. 16. that the Jews beyond Euphrates may not be hindred in their return This Opinion Paraeus calls godly and probable but not solid Read my Exposition of that Chapter how Euphrates shall be dryed up The Jews promise themselves an happy enjoyment of their Countrey Rab. Men. Ben. Spes Israel The learned Rabbi in his Book dedicated to our longliv'd-Parliament tells us The Rabbi is his book called Israelis that the Ten Tribes live together beyond the Cordiller Hills and the River Maragnon differing in Religion from the Indians in whose Countrey they are Sed parvas spes habet Troja si tales habet For the Readers sake Chap. 9.15 16 17. I shall enlarge my self a little on this pleasant subject The ten Tribes are threatned never to be a people more in Isaiah 7.8 Pray what hope of their return And Hosea tells us of the Ten Tribes God will love them no more as to return them God will cast them away and they shall be wanderers amongst the Nations The Jews return to Judae disproved Yet I believe there is hope of their Call because Rom. 11. and that passage of Tamars Children prove in Gen. 38.28 Sarah might represent the Jew with the scarlet Thred or Sacrifices who first made proffer to serve God as first-born but drew back like a stiff-necked people Pharez in the mean time steps forth Behold the Gentiles call but Zarah was born at last Zach. 10.10 the Jew then shall be a people belonging to God Nay I believe the dispersing the Ten Tribes will be a means to gain others to God upon their Call Hence God is said to sow them among the people good seed shall not perish and they shall remember me in far Countries Now though their return to Gilead and to Lebanon be there it must be spiritual to wit to the Church or Spiritual Hierusalem and that Spiritual Land of Promise Read Annotat of Assembly on the place Book Ch 35. pag. 5.
