eliah_n matth._n 11._o 14_o 15._o therefore_o christ_n come_v not_o as_o man_n imagine_v but_o according_a to_o the_o scripture_n as_o i_o show_v you_o here_o and_o they_o that_o look_v for_o his_o come_n in_o this_o way_n shall_v see_v he_o heb._n 9_o 28_o and_o the_o rest_n shall_v never_o see_v he_o but_o shall_v be_v shut_v up_o in_o darkness_n there_o be_v abundance_n more_o reason_n that_o i_o can_v give_v you_o to_o show_v the_o beauty_n and_o excellency_n of_o this_o kingdom_n which_o i_o omit_v for_o the_o present_a because_o i_o intend_v to_o be_v brief_a and_o the_o time_n do_v require_v it_o therefore_o now_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o some_o reason_n to_o show_v why_o this_o kingdom_n be_v not_o set_v up_o afore_o this_o time_n 1._o because_o our_o saviour_n christ_n foresee_v that_o the_o king_n of_o the_o gentile_n will_v not_o have_v suffer_v the_o gospel_n to_o be_v preach_v in_o their_o kingdom_n if_o so_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n have_v go_v then_o to_o put_v they_o down_o and_o set_v up_o of_o the_o poor_a to_o be_v king_n over_o they_o 2._o because_o the_o gospel_n of_o this_o kingdom_n be_v first_o to_o be_v preach_v in_o all_o the_o world_n for_o a_o witness_n to_o all_o nation_n and_o then_o which_o be_v now_o come_v the_o end_n of_o their_o kingdom_n and_o christ_n kingdom_n take_v place_n matth._n 24._o 14_o 30._o and_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o gentile_n shall_v mourn_v because_o they_o must_v bow_v to_o this_o kingdom_n and_o become_v servant_n to_o the_o poor_a 3._o because_o the_o gentile_n have_v their_o time_n limit_v luke_n 21._o 24._o and_o though_o know_v then_o to_o none_o but_o the_o father_n act_n 1._o 6_o 7._o so_o that_o the_o apostle_n then_o speak_v of_o it_o put_v a_o certain_a time_n for_o a_o uncertain_a revel._n 11._o 2._o but_o now_o the_o token_n be_v come_v the_o time_n be_v manifest_v matth._n 24._o 32_o 33._o that_o all_o may_v see_v it_o 4._o because_o the_o scripture_n be_v engross_v heretofore_o in_o the_o great_a man_n hand_n so_o that_o they_o may_v do_v as_o they_o please_v with_o the_o people_n that_o know_v little_a or_o nothing_o of_o scripture_n but_o when_o the_o art_n of_o print_n be_v find_v and_o they_o have_v liberty_n to_o have_v the_o scripture_n knowledge_n be_v increase_v among_o the_o people_n and_o shall_v increase_v so_o that_o they_o will_v not_o be_v rule_v by_o the_o king_n set_v up_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o gentile_n any_o more_o here_o be_v the_o good_a old_a cause_n that_o god_n raise_v our_o army_n to_o stand_v for_o and_o if_o they_o will_v not_o stand_v for_o this_o kingdom_n and_o government_n of_o christ_n own_o institution_n which_o i_o do_v show_v here_o they_o shall_v fall_v and_o those_o that_o take_v up_o this_o interest_n shall_v prevail_v here_o you_o see_v the_o reason_n why_o this_o kingdom_n ought_v to_o be_v set_v up_o and_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v not_o set_v up_o before_o this_o time_n and_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o the_o reason_n why_o king_n charles_n be_v so_o unfortunate_a since_o i_o make_v he_o to_o be_v the_o best_a of_o all_o king_n true_o i_o answer_v because_o his_o resolution_n be_v not_o right_a for_o he_o will_v come_v in_o and_o settle_v all_o thing_n as_o former_o we_o have_v they_o therefore_o he_o can_v prosper_v but_o let_v he_o leave_v that_o resolution_n and_o resolve_v to_o stand_v for_o this_o way_n sure_o he_o shall_v find_v better_a fortune_n and_o be_v more_o glorious_a and_o more_o sure_a in_o his_o throne_n then_o any_o of_o his_o predecessor_n though_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o step_n low_a than_o they_o be_v for_o i_o say_v to_o he_o that_o shall_v be_v king_n and_o to_o he_o that_o be_v deputy_n and_o king_n also_o for_o a_o deputy_n be_v king_n 1_o king_n 22._o 47._o let_v the_o

good_a old_a cause_n shall_v fall_v indeed_o mr._n prin_n do_v show_n the_o right_a cause_n of_o this_o war_n as_o at_o first_o it_o be_v declare_v and_o that_o be_v but_o a_o pretence_n for_o they_o quick_o rout_v such_o as_o stick_v to_o that_o their_o cause_n be_v to_o get_v all_o from_o the_o king_n country_n and_o church_n and_o to_o keep_v it_o and_o this_o they_o call_v the_o good_a old_a

long_a parliament_n come_v together_o and_o sit_v to_o maintain_v it_o according_a to_o their_o invitation_n let_v they_o beware_v of_o john_n lest_o they_o also_o be_v serve_v as_o baal_n
