A89056	A further discovery of the mystery of the last times; as an addition to a little book, called Some discoveries of the mystery of the last times, bordering upon the coming of the Lord Jesus. Set forth for the good of all men; but especially of those who in these dissenting times (wherein Ephraim envieth Juda, and Juda vexeth Ephraim) know not where to settle themselves, or to what society of Christians to joyn themselves: wherein is (as simply and plainly, as the author was able to open those mysterious scriptures quoted in this following treatise) shewed the cause of all our divisions and contentions about matters pertaining to form and order in the church of Jesus Christ; and wherein is moderately proved from those scriptures these particulars. 1. The flourishing and building condition of the church of Jesus Christ in the time of the gospel. ... 7. Lastly, that the Lord Jesus will by himself destroy all those enemies, and deliver his people, when the restoration of all things shall be.

be_v a_o thousand_o year_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o this_o be_v the_o slumber_n or_o sleepy_a condition_n of_o the_o church_n for_o as_o soon_o as_o the_o church_n begin_v to_o have_v

and_o the_o agreement_n of_o the_o three_o text_n be_v due_o consider_v now_o whether_o we_o may_v take_v the_o two_o horn_n to_o signify_v strength_n as_o two_o kingdom_n or_o whether_o we_o may_v

preparation_n for_o he_o but_o this_o we_o may_v remember_v that_o in_o the_o last_o time_n according_a as_o our_o saviour_n foretell_v there_o shall_v arise_v false_a christ_n and_o false_a prophet_n and_o shall_v show_v great_a sign_n and_o wonder_n that_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a they_o shall_v deceive_v the_o very_a elect_n mat._n 24._o 24._o and_o rev._n 9_o 7._o and_o the_o shape_n of_o

the_o false_a prophet_n in_o all_o which_o place_n there_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o false_a prophet_n which_o shall_v deceive_v the_o people_n and_o shall_v stir_v up_o the_o nation_n to_o fight_v against_o the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o his_o people_n say_v to_o they_o that_o dwell_v on_o the_o earth_n that_o they_o shall_v make_v a_o image_n to_o the_o beast_n which_o have_v the_o wound_n by_o a_o

as_o will_v not_o worship_v the_o image_n of_o the_o beast_n shall_v be_v kill_v all_o which_o thing_n consider_v and_o insomuch_o as_o we_o be_v fall_v into_o the_o last_o time_n notwithstanding_o i_o dare_v not_o a_o ffirm_v any_o thing_n of_o certain_a by_o mean_n of_o the_o darkness_n of_o the_o mystery_n so_o that_o until_o the_o prophecy_n be_v fufil_v we_o can_v attain_v to_o the_o open_n of_o they_o yet_o nevertheless_o these_o exhortation_n will_v be_v necessary_a for_o all_o man_n to_o take_v notice_n of_o first_o that_o insomuch_o as_o there_o shall_v come_v such_o false_a prophet_n as_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a they_o shall_v deceive_v the_o very_a elect_n and_o that_o the_o beast_n which_o do_v arise_v out_o of_o the_o earth_n have_v two_o horn_n like_o a_o lamb_n and_o that_o by_o saint_n john_n word_n he_o shall_v cause_v fire_n to_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n that_o be_v the_o spirit_n as_o he_o pretend_v therefore_o that_o they_o will_v be_v very_o wary_a who_o they_o trust_v and_o second_o that_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o this_o ten_o year_n we_o have_v have_v such_o fair_a pretence_n make_v of_o reformation_n among_o the_o clergy_n and_o yet_o i_o believe_v have_v the_o time_n suit_v with_o they_o they_o will_v something_o have_v speak_v like_o the_o dragon_n in_o persecute_v such_o as_o can_v not_o submit_v themselves_o to_o their_o reformation_n as_o may_v be_v see_v full_o if_o man_n diligent_o consider_v their_o carriage_n in_o this_o age_n and_o three_o i_o shall_v admonish_v all_o those_o of_o the_o nation_n which_o have_v the_o rule_n of_o the_o government_n in_o their_o hand_n that_o they_o will_v beware_v what_o government_n they_o set_v up_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o that_o for_o these_o reason_n first_o leave_v they_o make_v a_o image_n of_o the_o beast_n which_o have_v a_o wound_n by_o a_o sword_n and_o yet_o do_v live_v second_o that_o they_o beware_v of_o all_o such_o as_o come_v in_o sheep_n clothing_n and_o inward_o be_v raven_a wolf_n leave_v by_o their_o persuasion_n they_o cause_v the_o image_n of_o the_o beast_n both_o to_o speak_v and_o to_o cause_v that_o as_o many_o as_o will_v not_o worship_v the_o image_n of_o the_o beast_n shall_v be_v kill_v that_o be_v by_o incite_v the_o magistrate_n to_o fall_v to_o persecute_v and_o kill_v the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n which_o can_v submit_v to_o their_o government_n in_o spiritual_a thing_n which_o be_v set_v up_o and_o three_o for_o so_o much_o as_o the_o government_n of_o the_o nation_n cease_v to_o bear_v the_o image_n or_o any_o image_n of_o the_o beast_n so_o long_o as_o they_o do_v justice_n and_o relieve_v the_o distress_a and_o defend_v their_o people_n commit_v to_o their_o charge_n and_o for_o bear_v to_o persecute_v for_o cause_n of_o conscience_n in_o spiritual_a thing_n because_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o beast_n that_o prey_n upon_o other_o to_o devour_v and_o kill_v the_o innocent_a sheep_n and_o other_o creature_n that_o be_v subject_a to_o their_o tyranny_n and_o thus_o much_o by_o way_n of_o exhortation_n to_o all_o man_n that_o they_o be_v no_o occasion_n of_o set_v up_o the_o beast_n i_o shall_v now_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o time_n of_o stand_v and_o prevail_v of_o this_o beast_n which_o i_o take_v have_v his_o time_n of_o beginning_n though_o not_o yet_o discern_v at_o the_o decay_a of_o the_o beast_n which_o do_v arise_v out_o of_o the_o sea_n which_o be_v according_a to_o my_o former_a account_n in_o the_o year_n
