coming of Christ and the last Judgement 1018. 1 Pet 1. 12. The Angels desire to look into Matth. 18. 10.

I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims Eph. 2. 12 19. You are no more strangers and forrainers but fellow Citizens with the Saints The faithfull are strangers and 〈◊〉 in respect of the Kingdome of Glory but not of the Kingdome of Grace which S. Paul speaks of 1020. 1 Pet. 2. 23. Christ when he was reviled reviled not again when he suffered he threatned not John 8. 44.

The devil as a roaring lion walketh about seeking whom he may devour Rom. 8. 31. If God be for us who can be against us The devils malice can do nothing against us when God defends us 1022. 2 Pet. 1. 19. The sacred Scripture is as a burning lamp in a dark place ch 3. 16. In Pauls Epistles somethings are hard to be understood In the Scripture things are handled clearly and not obscurely though they may seem obscure to us yet that obscurity is not in respect of faith but of humane reason whence it is that many ignorant and unlearned people do foolishly wrest the Scriptures into a contrary sense 1023. 2 Pet. 1. 21. Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the holy Ghost Joh. 7. 39. The holy Ghost was not yet given because that Jesus was not yet glorified The Prophets in the Old Testament had the same holy Ghost which the Apostles had in the New Testament but after another manner and degree the least of the Apostles after the visible miraculous sending of the holy Ghost in the day of Pentecost knew the Prophesies more fully and clearly then the Prophets that foretold them because the Apostles had seen the fulfilling of the Prophesies and Christ opened their mindes that they might understand the Luk. 24. 47. Scriptures Three Epistles of the Apostle St JOHN THE first is Catholique it breaths out the love of God to us in Christ our Mediator and our love towards God and our neighbour commands us to beware of the world Antichrist and Idols The second admonisheth the Elect Lady and her children that remaining in the doctrine and love of Christ they take heed of seducers The third commends the bounty of Gaius and commends to him those that were banished for Christ rebukes Diotrephes and gives testimony to Demetrius 1024. 1 John 1. 8. If we say we have no sinne we deceive our selves Ioh. 9. 3. Neither hath this man sinned nor his parents In the former place sinne is taken generally and so we are all sinners in the later in speciall for some grievous sinne which useth to be the cause of some grievous singular punishment from God 1025. 1 John 1. 8. If we say we have no sinne the truth is not in us ch 3. 9. He cannot sinne because he is born of God To have sinne and to commit sinne differ we all have sinne and we are conceived and born in it yet the faithfull commit no sinne because they will not suffer sinne to reign in them but the wicked and hypocriticall have sinnes dwelling in them 1026. 1 John 2. 2. Christ is the propitiation for our sinnes and for the sinnes of the whole world ver 15. Love not the world Joh. 17. 9. I pray not for the world The word world is taken variously in the Scripture in the first place are meant the men that are in the world for whose sinnes Christ is the propitiation as for the sufficiency of his merits the price and vertue but not for the efficacy thereof which is hindred by the infidelity and sinnes of the wicked concerning which the later places must be understood 1027. 1. John 2. 18. Antichrist shall come and even now are there many Antichrists 2 Thess 2. 3. Antichrist was not yet revealed All those are Antichrists in generall who deny Christs Divine or humane Nature or in his Person or Office c. In speciall that great Antichrist is the sonne of Perdition who in the time of Paul was not yet revealed though the mystery of iniquity began to work 1028. 2 Joh. v. 10.

I had many things to write but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee Joh. 20. 31. These things are written that you might have life through his Name In the former place it is not said as though the Apostle would say something else then what is contained in the sacred Scriptures In the later he manifestly confirms that all things are written which appertain and are necessary to true saith in Christ and to eternall life So that we have no need of Traditions by word of mouth The Canonicall Epistle of St JUDE the sonne of Thad●aus HE exhorts the faithfull to constancy and threatens the adversaries of Christ with extream misery and warneth that the godly hold their faith in God and avoid false doctrine 1030. Jude v. 9. Michael disputed with Satan about the body of Moses Ver. 14. the Prophesie of Enoch is mentioned whereof the Scripture before speaks not at all The striving of the Arch-Angell is not expresly set down in Scripture yet there appear some prints of it in the buriall of Moses by God for that the Israelites knew not the place of his buriall and it is out of question that the devil would willingly have made that known to the Israelites to set up Idolatry there but that he was hindred by Michael The Prophesie of Enoch if it were not set forth in writing yet it went by tradition from hand to hand unto posterity The REVELATION of St JOHN the Apostle the Divine IT is called Apocalyps that is the Revelation because it contains the visions which St John saw in the Isle of Pathmos about the year of Christ 96. and the Prophesie concerning the state of the Church Militant on earth and the Church Triumphant in heaven 1031.
