for the neglect of so great Grace and long Sufferance 38. Proof 18. Becausâ— the Lord will grant all Mâ—n a day of Visitation in the Flesh that they may repent and lead a better Life and that day of Visitation is a thousand years according to the Testimony of Peter 2 Pet. 38. compare herewith Hebrews 4.7 39. Proof 19. Christ affirmed the Gospel should be preached to the wholâ— World that is to all Men therefore all Men either have heard the Gospel preached which Christ suffer'd Death â—or or else shâ—ll hear it hereaâ—ter before the end of the World therefore all Men that ever have lived since the beginning of the World if they have not believed on Christ to come by the ministery of the Prophets must live again to hear of Christ and to believe in him by the Minisâ—ery of the Apostles and other Ministers of Christ. 40 Proof 20. For the promise of eternal Salvation has respect to the Faith of Men whereby they believe on Christ that God raised him from the dead and therefore all either have had or shall have before the end of the World opportunity to hear of Christs Resurrection from the Dead which they cannot have unless they are born again into the World 41. Proof 21. The Lord promised by Moses those Iews and Israelites who liv'd in Moses time that he would raise them uâ— a Pâ—ophet like unto Moses whom they should hear in all things and therefore those very Iews and Israelites were to live in a Body of Flesh in the days of the Messias And so the Mâ—ssias was to be raised to all the Iews and People of Israel both to the Fathers and the children that all the Fathers and all the Children especially those who dyed in Unbelief might have opportunity to believe in Christ and obtain remission of their Sins past for they were not to be punished with Hell-fire in the end of the World for transgressing the Law but for transgressing the Gospel See Heb. 10. 28.29 42. Proof 22. For those promises of the abundant Grace of God and the plentiful efusion of the Spirit which God promised by the Prophets had respect to those Iews and Israelites who lived in the days of the Prophets which nevertheless were not to be fulfilled till the latter days under the preaching of the Gospel after the coming of the Messias in the Flesh for the promises were made to the Iews and all their Children afar off even to those who lived from the beginning of the World Acts 2.39 For how cou'd the Iews rejoyce in hope of those promises unless they were to live again in the days when they were to be fulfilled under Christ. 43. 'T is prov'd 23. From Psal. 90. v. 3.4 Thou turnest Man to Destruction and sayst again return ye Sons of Adam for a thousand years in thy sight are as yesterday when it is past and as a Watch in the Night From hence is clearly hinted the revolution of Souls from Life unto Death and from Death unto Life and that in the Space of 4000 years which are but as Night consisting of four Watches which this Mystery seem'd to signifie when it was said that Iesus went uppn the Sea to Disciples in the fourth Watch of the Night for that time in which Christ came in the Flesh was in the fourth Watch that is almost at the end of four thousand years from the beginning of the World 44. Proof 24. From the Words of Solomon in Eccleâ—iast Chap. 1. v. 4. to v. 12. for by a threeâ—old Similitude of the Sun Wind and a River is shown the various and manifold revolutions of Souls from Life unto a corporeal Death and from Death again unto Life for as the same Sun riseth that Sets the same Wind blows from tho South into the North and from the North into the South the same River that comes out of the Sea returns into the Sea so the same Generation that goes out of the World returns into the World neither is there any remembrance of former things In which Words he tacitely answers the Objection Why therefore cannot Men remember that they have lived before For that stands in the Counsel and Goodness of God but in the end of the World the Books shall bâ— opened and they shall remember all things And it was properly said of Solomon whatsoever was at that time had been before and should be again because all Souls had already been in the World before Solomon's time and perform'd their Revolutions whereof none was to be finished before the death of Christ on the Cross which will appear more plainly from the Table of the revolution of Souls heâ—eafter annexed 45. Proof 25. Is drawn from Ezekiâ—l Chap. 36. and 37. vers 12. I will open youâ— Graves and cause you to ascend out of your Sepulchres that is from the state of the Dead into your own Land 47. It is proved 27. Because they who kill'd the Marâ—yrs since the Apostle's days to wit within 300 Y. after the Death of Christ were after many Ages to be slain by Turks and other bloody and barbarous Men and this happened in the opening of thâ— fifth Seal Rev. 6.10 48. 'T is proved 28. In that they are killed in the pouring out of the third Vial who in times past killed the Saints and Prophets of God See Rev. 13.9 10. 49. Proof 29. It is the rule and general Ordinance of God's Justice That he that kills with the Sword shall be killed with the Sword and he that leads into Captivity shall be led into Captivitâ— but these things rarely happen in one Age and therefore are to be referr'd to divers Ages and Lives 50. Proof 30. For in Babylon was found the Blood oâ— all the Pâ—ophets and Saints which lived since the days of Christ and the Apostles yea also before those times even 4000 Yeaâ—s â—ackwards from the time Babylon â—â—rst began to be builded for the number of 4000 Years makes an intire Period of twelve Revolutions 51. Proof 31. For this reason the Brethren of the Deceased were to raise up Seed to their Deceaseâ— Brethren that they might as far as was possible be born again into the Woâ—ld in a proper and direct Line and that because of the Genealogy of Christ. 52. Proof 32. And for this reason the Lord in the Parable commended that unfaithful Servant who was so liberal to the Poor that they might receive him into their Houses hereaâ—ter when he should fail and therefore said he The Children of this World are wiser in their Generation to wit in their Revolution of Generation than the Children of Light 53. Proof 33. The Apostle Iude writeth concerning certain wicked persons who turned the Grace of God into wantonness c. that they were afore ordained to Condemnation but afore or of old doth not signiâ—ie from Eternity or before all Ages neither doth God ordain or sentence Men to Condemnation before they have committed Sin but for Sins committed and therefore

8. Glory 9. a Foundation 10. a Kingdom And it is the Opinion of some Mystical Men that when we are come to Malcuâ—h â— that Blessed age of the Millennium will begin and the greatest part of those Hebrew names are found written in 1 Chron. 29 1â— and others in other places of Scripture Quest. 21. What is that Sea of Glass like unto What the Sea of Glass is Chrystal which stood before the Throne Is it not the abâ—ndâ—nce of the Spirit for the Souls of the Faithful to Wash and Bath therein and to drink abundantly thereof and be filled for the Water of this Sea is not salt but sweet to wit the Water of eternal Life and was not that Sea which Solomon placed in the Temple a Type hereof Quest. 22. What are those 4 Beasts and What the 4 Beasts and 24 Elders are 24 Elders before the Throne Whether really the Order and Hierarchy of Angels as some think Or whether not rather the very Church of God or number of the Faithful redeem'd to God by Christ as it appearâ— Chap. 5. v. 9. which has it thus and the Elders and the Beasts Sung a new Song unto God saying Thou hast Redeem'd us to God by thy Blood from among every Tribe and from every Lanâ—guage Nation and People Qust 23. What may we What are the Eyes of the â—easts understand by the many Eyes of those Beasâ—â— Whether not the manifold Undâ—rsâ—anding and Wisdom of the Faithful in Spiritual things And do not their Eyes within and withouâ— or in the Circumâ—erence signifie that these Beasts have not only most intrinsick Knowledge of themselvesâ— but also are indued with great Judgment and Discretion whereby they clearly understand what is to be done in any case or emergency of Aâ—â—airs whatsoever Again what is to be understood by their Wings Whether so many Divine and Celestial Vertuesâ— by which they can ascâ—nd with Expedition and Alacrity as it were in â—light unto God and so readily and speedily execute his Divine Will finally wherefore are they said in times past to wit under the Law to have four Wings and aâ—terwards under the Gospel six Was it not by reason of greater Grace afterwards communicated under the Gospel Quâ—st 24. What are those Faces of â—he Beaâ—â—s whereof every one is â—aid to have â—our viz. the Face of a Bull on the Leâ—t â—and and the Face oâ— a Man and a Lyon on the Right side aâ—d a last of all the Face oâ— an â—aglâ— Do not these foâ—r Faces signifie the Souls or Lives of Men deriv'd from the four Woâ—lds afore-mention'd as the â—Ã³ Nephâ—sh â—â—om Asia TÃ³ Ruach from Ieziâ—ah TÃ³ Nischmah from Briah TÃ³ Chaja from Aziluth Now Nephesh or Pâ—yche seems to be â—roâ—erly sigâ—iâ—ied bâ— that of â— Bâ—llâ— Ruâ—â—h by a Lyon Nischmah by a Man and lastly Chaja by an Eagle And wherâ—fore are they said to be four but by reason of those 4 Faces Moreover what is to be understood by the 4 Wheels * The 4 Wheels of the 4 Beasts of those four Beasts Doth not each Wheel signifie the Revolution of some Age. For the Hebrew word Gilgal which is rendered Rota in Latin in English a Wheel is translated by the Hebrews Revolutio or Revolution therefore will not the aforesaid Revolution of an Age contain a Thousand Years which is one Day mysâ—ically taken according to Psal. 90. and 2 Pet. 3. For what is a Day more than the Revolution of the Sun in the space of 12 Hours And because according to the 90th Psal. before cited a Thousand Years are as a Watch of the Night and every Night contained 4 Watches and every Watch â— Hours therefore doth not the whole Night c contain 4000 Years and each Hour one third part of a Thousand Yeaâ—s that is d â—33â…“ Therefore will not the Wheels contain â—our Thousand Years as also why are they call'd Watches is it â—ecause every one of those â—aces in their proper Hours is excited and as it were awâ—kened in every respective Watch Quest. 25. Wherefore are there said to be the number of 24 Elders Doth not this number respect the 12 Patriarchs who were to remain as 12 Junctures or Seams of the Ancient Church together with the 12 Apostles who are likewise the 12 Junctures or uniting Bands of the Evangelical Church to signify the highest and strictest union of both Churches under one Head the Lord Jesus Christ For as 't is said there are 12 great Junctures oâ— connexions in the Body of Man and 70 small ones with which perhaps the 70 Disciples under the Gospel do correspond and 70 Souls of the House of Iacob under the Law who came into Egypt from whom afterwards so vast a Multitude of People arose CHAP. V. QUest 26. What is meant by the right Hand of * The right Hand of God God Hath God a right and left Hand according to the manner of Men which if he hath not as certainly he hath not yet seeing the Scripture here and elsewhere speaketh of God's right Hand is not something intended by this word bearing a certain Analogy to a Man's right Hand In which respect some do thus distinguish the aforesaid Divine Emanations viz. that some have an Analogy to the right Hand as Cochma Gedula Nezach others to the left Hand as Binah Gebâ—urah Hod others are in a mean as Kether Tiphereth Iesod Malcuth Quest. 27. What may we understand by the Book * What is meant by the Book Seal'd with seven Seals sealed with seven Seals which was in his Hand who sat on the Throne Whether the knowledge of great Events to come to pass in thâ— World from the time of Christ's Ascension to the end of the World even as other parts of Sacred Writ do either Historically or Prophetically declare unto us all the great Events and Transactions past from Adam unto Christ. Quest. 28 Why doth Iohn distinguish the 7 Seals in that order The 7 Seals that 6 immediately follow one another â—nd the sixth seems to reach to the Sabbath of the World but the seventh proceeds in an other Order as comprehending the half Hours silence and the Intervals oâ— the 7 Trumpets The â— Trumpets hath he not designedly and purposely done it to show us that the seventh Seal doth not entirely follow the other six buâ— signifies a new Order from Christs Ascenâ—ion to the end of the World or 200 Years Therefore do not the Intervals of the six Seals divide the said space of 2000 Years into six equal parts whereof each will contain 333â…“ And thus indeed the six Seals will denote the same Intervals of time with the seven Churches aforementioned and so make a Synchronism For most confess that there were divers Visions in this Book which were Synchronical or happen'd at one and the same time represented by distinct Visions even as those seven Years of Famine in Egypt was proposed to the King in two Visions altho' the said Visions

this City as the Roundness and Orbicular Form of the Earth dâ—notes its voluble and unconstant State and Condition together with Mortals that dwell therein Quest. 115. Will not certain other Holy Souls descend into Bodies in the Millennium who Lived not before on Earth in the preceding Ages of the World Quest. 116. Wiâ—l not the Rate or Proportion of the Holy City compared to the whole Earth be as 52 is to 12 assigning to each Deâ—ree of the Terrestrial Globe above 60 Miles and under 61 which is the Proportion that one Week bears to a wholâ— Year Moreover doth not the wholâ— Age of this World from the Beginning to the End seem like a Week And doth it not seem worth a Sober and Modest Inquiry what Mystery may be couched uâ—der the Similitude of these two Proportions Quest. 117. Shall those who Inhabit this City need the use of Meats and Drinks Or what shall be their Food Shall it not be such Food as Adam Eat in the Earthly Paradise before the Fall Quest. 118. Are not those words of Revel 21.23 And the City shall not stand in need of the Light of the Sun nor of the Moon to be understood according to the Letter For although the Sun Moon and Stars shall then Shine and Impart their Vertues and Influences to other Animals or living Creatures yet the Saints of the first Resurrection shall not seem to stand in need of their Light or Vertue FINIS AN APPENDIX CONTAINING Some Emendations and Explanations of divers Passages in the two foregoiâ—g Treatises out of the Authoâ—'s Original Manuscripts and Papers Friendly Reader IT was thought fit to let thee know that the following Emendations Corrections and Explanations are according to the mind of the Author as appeareth out of another Copy of his Manuscript and his other Papers that have been faithfully preserved it is therefore probable that the Author himself upon his second Thoughts which are commonly the more solid hath himself corrected divers things in these Treatises which ought not to be charged upon him as any blame but rather in so doing to deserve praise But it is most certain that divers considerable Mistakes have crept into the printed Copies boâ—h Latin and English by the unskilfulness and in advertency of the Transcribers through whose Hands the Original Copy hath come The which Original Copâ— I can assuâ—e thee Reader I have seen in a Latin Manuscript many years ago but who the Author is is not easie to judge For divers reasons best known to himself he thought it not convenient to make his Name known to the World as many worthy Authors of Bâ—oks have conceaâ—ed their Names The Reader is â—urther to be advertised that some words in this printed English Copy here corrected are the Errors of the Press incident to all Books It must needs be confessed that many things in these Treatises especially in the former will seem strange and surprizing to many because of their cressing the common Notions and Sentiments generally received both in Philosophy and Divinitâ— so called But what-ever Truth or Untruth may be in these things that may seem to many most incredible it is the Readers wisdom not to be hasty to judge so as to conclude â—or or against without mature Judgment and a good Understanding as Plato called by some the Divine Philosopher well said Non est sapientis de obscuris deâ—erminare i. e. It is not a wise Man's part to determine of things obscure or unclear to his Understanding The Authors Modesty and Discretion is to be commended â—ho for the most part profesâ—eth but to handle these things Historically or Hypothetically not Dogmaâ—ically nor Positively his design being as it manifestly appeareth to give some hints of the Mystick Learning of the Iewâ— and of other Christian Mystick Writers to ordinary and vulgar Scholars that had not heard of such things so much perhaps as by Fame and also to such sincere Christians as have a real Divine Hunger and Thirst begot in them after a greater degree of the Living Knowledge of God and of Christ and the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God so far as they are traceable in the Holy Scriptures as God shall be pleas'd to work by his Holy Spirit to give the Understanding of them For tho' the Iews in great part are blinded especially as concerning the true Messiah yet in many things it is acknowledged by Pious Christian Writers that their ancient Mystick Learning containeth many things not only very agreeable to Christian Doctrine but very conducing to help us to understand many places of Scripture in the New Testament as well as in the Old And if sincere Christian Professors did but well understand the great Advantage and Help that the Iewish Mâ—stick Learning with which this Author seemeth to have been in good measure acquainted doth afford to convince the Iews of the Truth of Christianity so as to enable and furnish them to right them with their own Wâ—apons they wou'd be more willing to read with an Impartial Mind such Books as would help them in such â—ort of Learning few of which sort as yet if any are extant in the English Language The second Treatise added unto the first was done by the same Author It is hoped that it will be favourably received and entertain'd by the Reader the rather that it is proposed only by way of Quâ—ryâ— yet so far explanatory as in many things at lest it may by the blessing of God be made serviceable to the better understanding many things in the Book of the Reâ—elations further than what they have formerly known by the help of other Commentaries The Emendations and Explicatiâ—ns in the first Treatise follow PAge 10. ad fin the Explication The Author is not so to be understood as if because he hath an Allegorical Sence of Christ's Flesh and Blood Allegorically and Figuratively so understood as the Scripture aboundeth with such allegories and figurative Speeches as Water Wine Milk Honey Oyl Marrow and Fatness that therefore he did not sincerely believe that Christ's outward Flesh was real Flesh and his Blood real Blood which he gave for the Life of the World the which Body and Blood of Christ tho' it is not to be received by the Mouth as Papists say yet spiritually by Faith it is fed upon by all sincere Christians And in this sence to eat Christ's Flesh and to drink his Blood is sincerely to believe that Christ gave His Body of Flesh to be broken for uâ— and His Blood to be shed for us for the Remission of Sin by which sincere Faith whereof Christ is the Workâ—r we partake oâ— the Life and Spirit of â—hrist that is the Soul 's immediate Nourishmâ—nt Page 16. ad med Expl.
