end within few yeares And therefore especially should wee pray GOD that hee from Heaven will send vs the strength of his spirit that wee could grow in true faith and stand constant in the revelation of the trueth V. And moreover this vndoubtedly agrieth well namely this last tyme of the new Testament with the tymes that proceeded before the flood came seing that CHRIST prophecieth hereof himselfe Math. 24. Luk 17. That right as it was in the world before the flood the people gaue themselues to drunkennesse filthinesse and lustes of the flesh and that vntill the same day that Noah entred into the Arke So likewise the people should giue themselues secure vnto such vices against the last tymes Seing there is now reckoned from the worlds beginning vnto the flood 1657 yeares substract 1657 from 1670 so hast thou againe 13 yeares when CHRIST was 12 yeares and in his 13 when hee disputed with the learned in the Temple of Ierusalem Lay now together the first Adam with the second and then the earthly with the Heavenly 1. The first had earthly Paradice the other the Temple of Hierusalem and that after the commandement of his Heavenly Father Shall I not be about my Fathers businesse Luke 2. ver 49. 2. As Adam shew obedience vnto GOD in Paradice so did the other in the Temple 3. Adam was counselled of the woman that hee should eate of the tree of the forbidden fruite CHRIST could not be counselled of his mother to desist from that which was his Fathers 4. As from Adams fall vntill the flood proceeded 1657 yeares likewayes from Christs actiue obedience obedientiae activae specimine example which he shew in the Temple when he was 12 yeares full and in his 13 vntil the only end and revelation of tyme will proceede 1657 yeares adde heerevnto the 13 yeares of his age so falleth in the end anno Christi 1670. V. And for the last it is neither to dis-allow betweene the agreement of the yeares of Christs age that he lived conversed visibly in this world with so many of the New Testaments jubile every commoun jubile yeare reckoned to 49 Levit. 25. ver 8. for 7 tymes 7 maketh 49. the next following 50 yeare was both a jubile yeare and the first yeare to begin in in the next following jubile yeares reckning Now is Christ dead risen and ascended in the 34 yeares of his age begin now to tell these jubile yeares from the 29 yeare of CHRISTS age for then began Iohn the Baptist to sounde with the trumpet of the new Testament so falleth in this 34. this new Testaments jubile yeares beginning Anno Christi 1646 from this to 1670 is about 25 yeare an halfe jubile yeare because CHRIST liued not out his 34 yeares Now to a conclusion of this little booke I will bring in two prophecies of our Authors I. Of the diminishing of CHRISTS Church against the worlds end Pag. 223. THIS may well bee that as Christ did not show himselfe after his resurrection to the vnthankfull Iewes preists and Scribes in Ierusalem but remoued North vnto Galile and there revealed himselfe before his disciples so in like manner that the cleare learning of the Evangel which once is driven from some parts in Dutchland and Romish dominions shall not come their againe in the same places but make his dwelling away North in Germanie and in other Northlandish places in Scotland Norway Sweden Iseland c. And as CHRIST after his resurrection preached not and learned publictly in Hierusalem where he was crucified but secreetly revealed himselfe to his disciples who were gathered within locked doores for feare of the Iewes so that in like manner before the ●ast day the Heavenly sinceere doctrine ●n Churchs and schooles from whence she is banished not more there to haue such successe but shall sound quietly within some poore folkes doores who shall reade the holy BIBLE in their ●ouses with Luthers Catechisme and E●istles and other writings of true ●earned teachers and with their house●old profite themselues in the exercise of true religion What successe Spaine hath to exspect heere in the Sownd pag. 99. lib. 1. circa finem cap. 2.
