tempt us Q. 3. Will their punishment all the Thousand years be so easie as to allow them to cover the Earth sight against the Saints and will it no more convince them Q. 4. What became of their Bodies in the Conflagration Q. 5. And of the Bodies of all the living wicked Q. 6. And of their Souls that lived then in wickedness Q. 7. Seeing you take Philadelphia to be the New Earth in its purity before its fall can you believe that in that World there is but a little strength and that there is a Synagogue of Satan called Jews that must come and worship before their feet And that Philadelphia after the fire is yet to be kept from an hour of temptation that shall come on all the World to try them that dwell on the Earth Q 8. Doth the New Paradise World hear Behold I come quickly hold fast c after Christ is come Q. 9. Seeing Laodicea is also with you the New Earth and Paradise State is that indeed a Changed State and World of Righteousness in which the New Jerusalem is neither hot nor cold and to be spewed out and is wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked and knoweth it not but saith I want nothing and is yet counselled to buy and cover her shame c. Is that World no better than so Q. 10. Doth God reward all men according to their works if the Best Saints found alive are for a thousand years in no better a World and the Worst Saints that were dead since Abel till Christ's coming are in a spiritual higher Body and Region all that Thousand years Is this God's Word Q. 11. Did any of the Asian Churches or any Christians for 1300 years at least or 1500 believe that the five first Epistles were written to men of this World and the two last to the men of the World to come after the Earth and Bibles are burnt Q. 12. Consider whether you that so zealously cry down the Papal Antichrist and Babylon do not ignorantly maintain the Papal State which you call Antichristian What is the Essence of Papacy but the claim of an Universal Power over the Church in the Pope or his Counsel he being the Head And do not you maintain that the Seven Churches are Seven States of the Church Universal And almost all Expositors agree that by the Angel is meant the Bishop at least as Biza saith the Proestos with his Elders And have even the Two Churches of the World to come such an Universal Government Sure then it is of Divine Institution that such there be And who claimeth it but the Pope and Councils This is the Effect of over-doing Zeal For my part if I believed that by God's Institution the Church Catholick must have one Universal Humane Angel or Government Monarchical or Aristocratical or mixt I would presently be a Papist Sir If any words in this Paper are displeasing to you for their freedom be assured it is to your Words and Cause and not for want of Love and great Esteem of your Person who as you are by Birth above me the Son of a Godly Knight so from my heart I believe that you are a far better man than my self And though I think you over-confident of your Apprehensions I love you the better while I think How strong a Faith hath that good man of God's Word in general who is so confident in every hard particular I beg your prayers for me who look from day to day when sight resolveth me of all these Controversies Postscript § 1. I Understand that on further thoughts some men that are further from me than Mr. Beverly are like by his Book to be much confirmed against Christianity Their Judgment of Christ is much like the Turks That there is One God and Jesus is one of his three great Legislator-Prophets and to be called his Son because of his miraculous Generation But that as Incarnate and the Son of Man he hath but a Temporal Kingdom and that Humanity shall at the end of the Thousand years be put off and with the Kingdom delivered up to the Father shall cease and that God's being All in All implieth this cessation Because Mr. Beverley taketh himself not accountable for other mens Errours and seemeth himself to renounce all such I will speak to them my self and to him on the by first desiring him to have so much charity to such men as to undeceive them by explaining these few particulars of his § 2. 1. To tell them what he meaneth by his distinction of Christ's Nature and Kingdom as Man in our Nature and his Nature and Kingdom as the Son of Man which he thinks ends with the Millennium To tell them what he meaneth by Christ's Humane Nature before the Incarnation If it be the Natura Mentalis in genere is it not as much an Angelical Nature as a Humane And he was not Jesus Christ the Anointed Saviour from Eternity nor before he was here Incarnate of Mary If his Body and Humane Soul then received die or cease then Jesus Christ dieth or ceaseth though the Mental Nature Humane or Angelical cease not Leave us not to the equivocal of a continued Humane or our Nature while you distinguish Christ Man from Christ the Son of Man But tell us whether it be only a Spiritual Mentality superangelical or the Soul and Body of a Man at his Incarnation If it be the Anima Mundi is it not the Common Nature of all things 2. To tell them yet what he meaneth by the Kingdom of Eternity as distinct from the Thousand years Kingdom seeing he denieth that there were any Subjects or Creatures from Eternity what is that Kingdom that hath no Subjects nor Government If he mean only To Eternity of that anon 3.
