dead in that evidence and demonstration of him in his testimony dwells to the quickning their spirits now or making them alive to God while yet the body is dead because of sin shall then have their mortal bodies quickned even raised from the dead by the same spirit that now dwells in them and shall then in their souls and bodies reunited in that blessed and glorious Resurrection of the Just enter together with him into the everlasting possession of the joy and glory of their Lord. And this is that which is called The first Resurrection Rev. 20. 4 6. Thess 4. 16. the test of the Dead John in that Vision of things to come saw lived not again till the thousand years of Christs Personal Reign on earth with the children of the first Resurrection were finished In which time there shall be new Heaven and new Earth and the new Jerusalem come down from God out of Heaven and all things made new and a perfectly righteous and glorious Kingdome and Government Revel 21. 1 7. Isa 65. 16 19. 66. 22. 11. 32. 1 5. Psal 72. And the Lord shall be one and his name one throughout all the earth Zach. 14. 9. And the knowledge of the Lord shall cover the earth as the waters cover the Sea Hab. 2. 14. And there shall be great and wonderful Conversions and daily flocking in with joy as Doves to their windows to the Name of the Lord in Jerusalem of the Nations of them that are saved from the former desolating Judgements and Consumptions among which also the natural Israelites then surviving shall be chief to fill the face of the world with fruit againe and to be Subjects of this glorious Kingdome for all the children of the first Resurrection of Jews and Gentiles shall be Reigners And to walk in the light of the new Jerusalem They shall flow together to the name of the Lord in Sion Isa 2. Mich. 4. Isa 9. 4 5 6 24. 13 14. 66. 19. c. Zach. 2. 11. 8. 22. 16. Rev. 21. 24. Psal 102. and though there shall bee no more Death nor fruits of Sin in the New Jerusalem or upon the Children of the Resurrection Revel 21. 3 4. no nor Night nor need of the Sun or M●on to that City when yet the glory and brightness of them in that restitution of all things shall be seven fold to what it is and so useful in and so all the world besides the subjects of this glorious Kingdome Isa 30. 26. 60. 19 c. Rev. 21. 22 23 25. Neither shall there be any more wars or tumults among the Nations one against another in the time of that glorious Kingdom Isa 2 4. nor shall there be that heavie Bondage of corruption remaining on the Creature or enmity betweene them that is now Isa 11. Rom. 8. 19. 25. Acts 3. 20 21. and so none of those poysonous Infections or unnatural Diseases or untimely Deaths that now are common to man shall be then common to any or accidentally or casually befall them yet as there shall be extraordinary and immediate Judgements from God then falling on those Nations Families and Persons that will not voluntarily serve under this Government and come up to worship the Name of the Lord in Jerusalem even to the cutting them off Isa 60. 12. Zach. 14. 16 19. even so there may yea there must needs bee some remainders of mortality and the Natural death generally on the people the Subjects of this glorious Kingdome the people that shall then be left of the Nations and that shall then be created or born to praise the Lord who yet have not passed through that change According to Gods appointment All must once dye amongst which some will bee found even then dying in their sins not coming up to worship the Lord and his Name in Sion at Jerusalem in Christ and the children of the Resurrection as proclaimed and shining forth from that great City that shal be the glory of all Lands and others dying in the Lord as Isa 65. 16 17 20. of which happily some may immediately be changed and fashioned into the likenesse of his glorious Body but some even of them shall stay or rest in death until that great and general Resurrection that shall be after the finishing of that thousand years for in that Resurrection it is evidently signified that there shall be some found written in the Book of Life Revel 20 12 15. and they must needs be of them that lived and dyed in the time of that thousand years or were immediately changed in the finishing of the same for all that slept in Christ before that day of Christs appearing in his glory and the survivers of that body then were brought together with him to the inheriting reigning in that glorious Kingdome Then after that cometh the end when he shall have delivered up the Kingdome to God even the Father when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power for be must reign in this Mediatorial and Davidical Kingdom till he have put all his enemies under his feet the last enemy that shall be destroyed is Death which though perfectly destroyed in the children of the first Resurrection in the beginning of that glorious day even immediately on his descending or coming down from Heaven yet not wholly destroyed from being an enemy while it holds the wicked from their everlasting punishment and vengeance in which God shall be glorified and the righteous shall glory for ever and while also it detains some of those worshippers of him whose names as such are written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world even such of them as dyed in that time of his reign on the earth from the possession of their utmost happinesse Therefore in the conclusion of that day of his Reign or of that manner of Administration of the Kingdome for the Kingdome and the glory of it is everlasting and never shall have end all the rest of the dead small and great shall be raised by him out of their Graves and from the disappearing state of Death and shall appear before his Judgement Seat This is the second and last Resurrection Revel 20. So that there shall be a general Resurrection of the just and unjust which in both parts our Saviour distinguisheth from that first fruites of quickning of the spirit from that death in sins and trespasses which is now effected by the light and power of the Gospel in them that in hearing hear of which work of Spiritual quickning now having spoken in Job 5. 25. hee adds vers 28. Marvel not at this as who should say that which I shall now tell you of is not only another but a greater work and so a greater and more glorious evidence of the vertue and power of the voyce of the Son of Man for the hour is coming he saith not and now is as of the former work vers 25. in

righteousness which is of the Law that the man which doth these things shall live by them according to which rule there shal no man be justified in the sight of God for by the Law is the knowledge of sin yea it concludes under the Curse Every ●●● that continueth not in all that is written in the book of the Law to doe it Gal. 3. 10 11 12. so that whoever shall keep the whole Law and yet offend in one point Jam. 2. 10. and there is not a just man upon earth that doeth good and sinneth not Eccles 7. 20. yea la many things we offend all Jam. 3. 2. But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wife Say not in thy heart who shall ascend into heaven that is to bring down from above or who shall descend into the deep that is to bring up Christ again from the dead it sets not men a work to enquire how these things she ll bee wrought for them in Christ or to fancy or seek for an accomplishment of them over again in them But what saith it The Word is nigh thee even that preaching of peace by Jesus Christ declaring all this freely done and finished for us by God in the Person of Christ without any thought motion or desire of ours This word of Reconciliation is nigh thee in thy mouth and in thy heart even this word of faith which wee preach declaring the ground of Faith prepared and true in him and thence instructing and perswading to beleeve it This is made nigh in those preachings of it vouchsafed that by its owne light and power it might bee acknowledged and beleeved that if according as in this nigh coming of the Word light and power comes with it instructing moving and strengthening the heart thou shalt confess with thy mouth and beleeve in thine heart that God hath raised Christ from the dead thou shalt be saved for with the heart man beleeveth unto righteousness c. Rom. 9. 30-33 10. 1-11 therefore also this Prophet Isaiah interprets the true followers after righteousness to bee they that seek the Lord for righteousness and strength that on the report of his righteousness being near in Christ in whom he hath caused his Judgement to rest for a light to the people doe beleeve that report and entertaine in their heart that his Law or Doctrine Isa 51. 1-7 45. 22-25 53. 1. Those that in the light and power of Gods testimony concerning Christ in the opening of it to them as therein it is made nigh them fall down in the sence and acknowledgement of their owne sinfulness and vileness and the unprofitableness of all their owne works to help them and seek righteousness in Christ even by faith in him in what hee hath done and is become for sinners that through the knowledge and faith of him they may bee found in him clothed with his Righteousness and not that of their own Phil. 3 8 9 10. 1 Job 5. 20. These are the righteous and so of the righteous Nation that learneth and keepeth the truth as it is in Jesus these are the righteous spoken of in this text and therefore truly so called 1 Because herein they doe Righteousness or Justice they are doers or workers of good Rom. 2. 10. Acts 10. 35. 43. 1 Joh. 2. 18 29. 3. 6. 2 Joh. 9. 3. Joh. 11. For 1 In this they doe nothing in any light wisdome or strength of theirs as of them in or by which no man can understand the things of the Spirit or come to Christ or doe good but as knowing their strength is to sit still in this respect letting their imaginations fall and every high thing that exalts it self against the obedience of Christ they by him do beleeve in God they through Grace beleeve and that not of themselves but of the gift of God they come in his drawings see light not in their own but in his light beleeve in the evidence and demonstration of his Spirit and by the power thereof coming along to them in his words and works so that their faith is of the operation of God who of the discovery of his owne good will in Christ through the word of truth begets them they are in this not their owne but his Workmanship created in Christ Jesus who of God is made to them Wisdome Righteousness Sanctification and Redemption and so doe work the work of God not only which hee requires of them but which himself is working in them Joh. 6. 29. for they are born to this beleeving on his name not of bloud nor of the will of flesh nor of the will of man but of God Joh. 1. 12 13. 1 J●h 5. 1. Jam. 1. 18 19. 1 Cor. 1. 29 30. Eph. 2. 10. and yet this is graciously imputed or counted to them for righteousness though it is the powerful operation of the grace of God in them through his name As on the other hand that which is in Scripture called Vnbelief that is to reject when men hear is truly charged on men as their owne proper sin disobedience and unrighteousness even wilfully committed against the light and power of Gods grace bringing Salvation for though men have neither light of understanding nor freedome or inclination of will in themselves as of themselves yet while he is calling hee is certainly putting forth his hand drawing with the cords of love and the bands of a man the demonstrations of his love evidenced in the lifting up the Son of Man and lifting up the yoke of thraldome on the Jews setting meat before them so that his goodness not only hath tendency but sutable operation in it It doth lead men to repentance though they draw back and harden their hearts again so that he that despiseth despiseth not man only but God who hath also given them of his holy Spirit to instruct and reprove them they harden their hearts against the word spoken in his Spirit in the light and power of that by his Prophets Isa 65. 1 2. H●s 11. 2-7 Rom. 2. 4 5. Nehem. 9. 20. 26. Zach. 9. 11 12. 1 Thess 4. 8. and so are fighters against God closing their eyes and stopping their ears and hardening their hearts when hee is opening and working upon them lest they should be converted and hee should heal them Mat. 13. 15. 2 They doe in this beleeving on his name doe nothing but what they have good reason and substantial ground for in what he hath done and is become for them as declared in his testi-Mony and what they are thence obliged to as their reasonable service there being a righteous ground and foundation of faith prepared and laid for us in Christ as declared in the Gospel whether men beleeve and so come and be built upon it or no for God hath made him that knew no sin to be sin for us that wee might hee made the righteousness of God in him Whence also the Holy Ghost reproves the world of
