XVI ANd in that very place where the first Adam was created and transgressed there did the second Adam Christ Jesus make full satisfaction for that Transgression in Paradice and there the old Serpent Sathan bruised his heel and there shall he break his head when he shall be there placed by his Father As King of Eternal Glory in the lot of his Inheritance where he the Lord shall Reigne with all his Saints gloriously for ever and ever And I heard a voyce saying Behold the Tabernacle of God is with men and he the Lord will dwell with them and then shall all the Kings of the Earth praise and sing in the waies of the Lord When they shall hear the words of his mo●th Then the praises of God shall be in their mouths and a two Edged Sword in their hands Terrible as an Army with banners as it were the company of two Armies Israel and Judah to execute vengeance ●pon the heathen to bind their Kings with chains and their robles with f●tters of Iron to execute upon them the judgement written● This honour have all his S●ints Then shall they Inherit the Earth and delight themselves in the aboundance of peace and then their Inheritance shall be for ever For know ye not that the Saints shall judge the world for then judgement shall be given to the Saints and the saints shall then possess the Kingdom for it is their Fathers pleasure to give them the Kingdom for his is the Kingdom the Power and the Glory for ever and ever and the Saints shall possess the Kingdom of Glory for ever even for ever and ever There where God hath commanded or ordained for man the blessing Even life in Glory for evermore Therefore let the Children of Zion be joyfull in their King the Lord of life Christ Jesus who shall also judge the dead men of this world of Darkness In the valie● of Iehosaphat And I saw the dead small and great stand before God and the books were opened and the dead were judged Then shall they The dead see him whom they have pierced and shall know that he is the Lord God dwelling in Zion his holy mountain For the wicked shall be shut up in the prison of the grave and after many days even the sabbattical thousand years rest in glory shall they be visited and in that day will the Lord punish Leviathan that piercing crooked Serpent the Dragon in the Sea or in the multitud e of Nations in this world and he shall be cast into the lake of fire and Brimstore where the Beast or Imperiall power and the False Prophet Mahomet are and shall be tormented for ever and ever SECT. XVII ANd this Judgement day of the dead shall be after Christ hath Reigned the thousand years or day of rest among the Saints Bodily yea in that very body which he hath carried up for that purpose and hath raised all the Elect out of their Graves From the dead or children of death and Hell called Sathan For Christ being the Resurrection and the life shall come down upon them that are his as the Rain upon the Mown grass For thus saith the Lord I will open your graves O my people and bring you into the Land of Israel then shall ye know that I am the Lord your God when I have opened your graves and put my spirit in you and ye shall live and I shall place you in your own land then shall ye know that I am the Lord that have performed it For those which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him For the councel of peace eternall life and glory shall be between them both even Father and Son and so shall they the Saints be ever with the Lord This shall be written for the Generations to come and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord In the Regen●r●tion or Resurrection when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his Glory Then will he make them even Israel and Judah one Nation in the holy land upon the Mountains of Israel the land of his Inheritance A Glorious high Throne is the Place or land of our Sanctuary from the beginning of the Creation of God for though all the earth be his yet Zion hath he chosen to be the place of his habitation for ever and will goe in and out before his people there even as

of love Christ Jesus according to the commandment of Jesus Christ who hath called us unto his Kingdom and Glory even the glory which he had with the father before the world was when he shall come in his glory For the time of this his glorious appearing is at hand to the eternall comfort and unexpressible joy of all the Saints of God but to the unsupportable horror dread and eternall confusion of all the dead men of this world or men of death Children of death hell and darkness called Sathan For God hath made all things for himself even the wicked for the day of wrath Evill Darkness judgement Death eternal to whom it is not given to know the truth nor the mysteries of his Kingdom of glory and joyes eternal to be there enjoyed by the Saints for ever And know this also that whatsoever things were written afore time were written for our learning that wee through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope of eternal life and Glory in the world to come Therefore pray that the light or spirit that is in you may not be of the darkness but of the true light Christ Jesus which inlighteneth every man unto Salvation whom God his God hath anoynted with the oyle of gladness above his fellowes even aboue all Spirits that so by that sacred Primary spirit of truth and light Christ Jesus whom God the father hath appointed heire of all things by whom also he made the world and who by him the father was sent in the flesh to be a light to us gentiles but shall be the glory yea a King of eternall glory to his people Israel ye may be inabled to hear his voyce and to be raised from the dead at his appearing in glory with all his saints But the rest of the dead shall not rise or live for they only that are his possessed by his spirit of life shall hear his voyce verily verily I say unto you the hour is coming when the dead shall hear the voyce of the son of God and they that hear his voyce shall live But they that hear not his voyce being the children of death shall still remaine in the bonds of death and hell for they are dead they shall not rise yea they shall not live at the resurrection of the just they shall not awake nor be raised out of their graves till the thousand years of rest and glory be fulfilled but they shall be gathered into one pit and shut up in the prison of the grave and after the thousand years or many days shall they be visited For the dead in Christ shall rise first even they that are Christs at his coming for thy dead men Christ Jesus shal live with my body shall they rise yea they which shall be accounted worthy of the worldtand tha resurrection from the dead are or shall be equall to the Angels of light and are the children of God being the children of the resurrection Christ Jesus who is the resurection and the life neither can they dy any more death hath no more dominion over them O therefore love the Lord all ye his Saints for the Lord preserveth the faithfull and plentifully rewardeth the constant doer be of good courage therefore for he shall strengthen your hearts all ye that trust in the Lord Now if this plain demonstration of the truth of Christs glorious personal reigne on the earth among his Saints in the land of Glory which God the Father hath ordained before the world unto our glorie that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God be still hid it is hid to them whose mindes are blinded by the God of this world the Divell that they should not see nor apprehend the excellency of the eternal Glorious being ordained of God for us before the world was even eternal life and glory unexpressible in the land of the living But God doth reveale them to his poor servants by his spirit for the spirit searcheth all things yea the deep things of God that we might know the excellency and become partakers of the Majestie and unexpressible glory of Christ in the glorious world to come at the appearing of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ the King of eternall life Light and Glory seen of all his Prophets who hath built an everlasting foundation with men and shall continue with their Seed And who also is by God the Father given for a covenant to the people to establish the earth even he the beloved who is ascended to his Father and our Father to his God and our God for thus saith the Lord I am Alpha and Omega which is which was and is to come The Almighty him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God and he shall go no more out and I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the City of my God the new Jerusalem which cometh down out of heaven from my God Hear therefore O Israel or Elect the Lord thy God is one Lord For to us the Saints there is but one God even the Father of whom are all things even spirit of light and spirits of darkness and we in him and one Lord Je●us Christ by whom are all things formed and made into externall vi●ible shape and being and we by him by whom he the Father made the world that is decreed what this present world of darkness should be and what the glory of the world to come should be For known unto God the father or determined are all his works by in and from the or this sacred beginning Christ Jesus Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge for the Councell of peace shall be between them both even between Father and Son of the most high God the light of Israel and his holy one or beloved one by whom he hath given unto us eternal life and this life is in his son and when he shall appear the second time unto salvation we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is and live ever in his sight even in the presence of his son Christ Jesus the true God and eternall life who is over all God blessed for ever of the Father For our life or eternal being is hid with Christ in God the Farher but when Christ which is our life shall appear then shall we also appear with him in his glory For He that is Elect and his name writen in the book of life or secret decree of the most high God the Father shall ever abide under the shaddow and guidance of the almighty Lord the ordained God of Salvation Christ Jesus and to whom belong the Issues of death he being the ordained resurrection and the life of eternall rest and glory to the Creature for he is gone up to prepare a

into an externall shape and being and we by him even by Jesus Christ the Son of the most high God the Father the Portion of Jacob or of the Elect the former and maker of all things for God the Father decreed the earth to be made by this his sacred power Established the world by this his sacred wisdom and stretched out the heaven by his sacred understanding the Lord of Hostes is his name the God of Israel the God of all flesh who hath made the ●arth the man and beast the portion of Iacob Christ is the former of all things the Lord of hosts is his name Thou art the Lord the God who didest choose Abraham Thou ledst them in the day by a cloud and in the night by a pillar of fire thou camest down upon mount Zion and spakest with them face to face For they saw him the God of Israel and the Lord even the God of Israel spake to Moses face to face as a man speaketh to his friend yea Iacob did see this God of Israel or of the elect face to face who testifieth of himself saying and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God even the God of Israel he is the God of Salvation he hath made us And the world was also made by him the Word of God And unto the God of Christ belong the Issues from death being the ordained resurrection and the life and so is he God over all blessed for ever Being the God of hope even to the elect the hope of glory in eternal life In the true Image of him that created him Christ the power of God the wisdom of God Righteousness and true holiness yea the beauty of Holiness and glorious in holiness Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance for they shall rejoyce for ever in the Lord God of their salvation happy are the people whose God is the Lord for he shall govern the nations upon the earth He shall say to the prisoners and them that are in darkness goe forth and shew your selves For God the Father his God hath anoynted him with the oyle of gladness eternal light life and glory above his sellowe seven above all spirits what ever For God the Father is the head of Christ even as man is the head of woman and hath ordained him to be the Prince of life The beginning the light the day the Person the Presence the face the Angel the Name the truth the goodness the power of God the Father unto Salvation the Prince of peace and love whose nature and property is even to have mercy to forgive and to preserve For he the Lord God is the preserver of Isracl yea the preserver of men The God of Salvation The Christ of God the Father for the worke of mercy and glory But darkness the divel is the Prince of death and destruction the destroyer the hater of man the roaring Lyon the raging power evil wickedness the merciless enemy the unrighteousness the night The wrath of God the star of the morning or the star darkness separated from the morning star or bright star of righteousness light and glory Christ Jesus the anoynted God of salvation whom God the Father hath appointed heir of all things and by whom he made the worlds being the word and voice of God the Father the visible brigh●ness of his Fathers glory and his expresse Image in his person for he that hath seen him hath seen the Father or the Fathers power to salvation for he upholdeth all things by the sacred power Who is made heir of all things and hath obtained a more excellent name then all other spirits what ever for the name of the Father the Lord God Ichovah the God of salvation is in him Who said I will be to him a Father and he to me a Son yea this day have I begotten thee For before the naturall day was in being he was brought forth yea before the earth was formed For according to the Fathers decree The foundations of the earth were lay'd in or by this sacred beginning yea the heavens are the work of his hand For it pleased the Father for whom are all things and of whom are all things in bringing many Sons unto glory to make the Captain or Prince of their salvation Christ perfect glorious in holiness yea the beauty of holiness fearfull in praises doing wonders For he that sancti●ieth and they who are sanctified are all of one for which cause he the Christ is not ashamed to call them brethren for of him and through him and to him are all things For he being the Resurrection and the life in him we live and move and have our being being created by God the Father in Christ Jesus who is the Beginning the day the life the light and glory Therefore are the Children of the light no more in bondage to darkness Hell and death the divel being redeemed by the light Jesus they are all become the Children of the light and Children of the day for God the Father hath not appointed or determined them unto or for wrath the divel but to obtaine or enjoy salvation in glory in and by Jesus Christ where we shall all live together with him who is the Christ of God the Father by whom all things were made to the glory of God the Father according to the eternal purpose of the Father which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord that so unto Principalities and powers of darkness in heavenly places might now be known by the Church the manifold wisdom of God the Father Christ of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named That is the spirits of life in all things named appointed and disposed of to their severall functions and conditions of being by him who after God is created in righteousness and true holiness by that one God and Father of all who is above all through all and in all and by whom is given or conferred on the elect grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ whose name is the Lord of Hostes the God of Israel or elect who shall be Glorious in the sight of God the Father and this his God shall be his strength and he shal be his servant to raise up the tribes of Iacob and to restore the preserved of Israel And to be a light to us Gentiles and the Fathers Instrument of salvation to the ends of the earth And by the Covenant to establish the earth that he may say to the Prisoners of death go forth and shew your selves when he shall put his spirit of life into them and the shall live For in the Lord Christ shall all the seed of Israel be Justified and shall glory for he shall be exalted and be very high For

eternal purpose in Christ Jesus whereby he hath made them heires of glory yea joynt heires with Christ to be glorified together with him Whose spirit beareth witness to our spirits that we are the Children of God the Father and heires with Christ who is the Ordained God and Lord over all blessed for ever He came out of the mouth of the most high God the Father and so is he the word of God For the Creator of all things gave him a Commandment and ordained his tabernacle or personall presence to rest Saying to him let there be a firmament and let thy dwelling be in Jacob and thine inheritance in Israel Yea he came forth as a brook from a river for he the Father created him the beginning and he shall never faile and thus is he established in Zion in the beloved City Jerusalem is his rest and power being the portion of his inheritance Where he the word the life the way the truth the righteo●sness and the l●ght is by the Father decreed to dwell in g●ory with all his saints for ever There is also a word which is called upon with death who is called darknes hell falshood vanity unrighteousness wrath destroyer Sathan wickedness God grant it be not found in the heritage of Jacob the Saviour But this word was found in Jacob or Judah when they renounced the word of life and glory Christ saying we have no King but Caesar and his blood be on us and our Children Then spake he unto them in or by this word of darkness his wrath the divel and vexed them in his sore displeasure for they were given up by God the Father to him the wrath therefore said to be of their Father the divel the destroyer For as God or goodness is set by the Father against evill the divell light against darkness mercy against wrath life against death the Saviour against the destroyer even so is the Godly against the Sinner and the Sinner against the Godly Even so also look upon the works of the most high God the Father and there are ●wo Christ and Belial the accepted and the rejected and their two works are one against the other The ways of Righteousness are plain and easy to the righte●us but his commands are stumbling blocks to the wicked And for the Children of Righteousness are good things created or decreed by the father in the or this sacred beginning Even life eternall in glory but for the sinners or the Children of the disobedient one or evill things created or decreed even eternall being in the land of horrour drought and darkness for ever with their Father the divell for the wrath of God is revealed now but shall then be manifest Called Principalities Powers Hosts Ministers that at the Almighty's pleasure on his works yea powers of darkness Beelzebub that act by fire famine sword and pestilence punishing the wicked to destruction and boasting themselves in mischief and destruction whose nature and property is cruelty and destruction therefore stiled a roaring Lyon the destroyer but not the Saviour Christ whose nature and property is mercy and preservation and therefore is he stiled the preserver of men yea the Oracle or mouth of God the Father Thus you see that all things are double or decreed for a double use one against the other some for the light to abide in glory and some for the darkness Beelzebub to abide for ever in darkness For all that obey or do his will shall reap perdition but they that walk in the light and are Children of the light shall inherit the land or earth of glory and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace Thou wilt say why doth he then complain for who hath or doth resist his will for can I do any other then I am lead forth unto or made to do But O man who art thou which pleadeth or speaketh against God thy maker for shall the thing formed say unto him that formed it why hast thou made me thus hath not thee Potter power of one lump to make one vessell to honour or for the acting of the spirit of honour and glory Christ Jesus and another to dishonour or for the acting of the spirit of dishonour and reprobation Beelzebub what and if God will to manifest wrath and to make his the sdivels elotted or meated out power known to the Creature uffer the vessels of wrath prepared or decreed to destruction to act the will and works of wrath and that he might also declare the riches and power of his glory for Christ is the glory and power of God unto salvation upon the vessels of his mercy Christ the mercy of God which he hath prepared or decreed unto glory to act the works of mercy here for glory hereafter For if thou be determined for glory and the vessell or body be filled at present with the Spirit of glory truth and righteousness Christ Jesus then shalt thou act and be led forth to the works of glory truth and Righteousness For the meanes shall never be wanting that drives on to the end of the Fathers decree But if thou remaine under the power and guidance of the spirit of darkness then canst thou do none other works then the works of darkness and then thou wilt apprehend the word works and actings of Christ in his vessels of honour called saints to be ridiculous and foolishness for he that is not for Christ is against him But wo unto him that striveth with this his maker Christ Jesus the Lord of life and glory for this maker the Lord our Righteousness is the husband or bridegroome to the Saints and he will marry them unto himself in Righteousness and glory everlasting for he will give unto them salvation in Zion O therefore say not thou it is through the Lord Christ my maker that I perish for he causeth me to err for who dare say unto him what hast thou done or who dare stand against his Judgement to whom all power is given by the Father both in heaven and earth or who dare accuse him for the nations that perish whom he hath made or who dare stand against him to revenge the cause of the wicked that are by him cast off or rejected therefore happy yea thrise happy are all they that are possessed and guided by this sacred spirit wisdom For she was created or produced by the Father before all things she hath built her everlasting foundations with men and is given by the rather to be with their seed in glory for ever For all such as band themselves against Jehovah and against his anointed power for 〈◊〉 are described and known to be disobedient men of this earth or world of darkness guided by the rebellious spirit of wrath darkness and enemies to the obedient spirit of sight life and determined glory to the elect and obedient

place for us and then both he and the father will come and make their abode with us for he is ascended to his father and our father to his God and our God untill his enemies be made his footstool by the father For as the Father hath life in himself so hath he given to the son to have the spirit of life in himself and hath given him Authority to execute Judgement also for the Father judgeth no man but hath committed all judgement to the Son And as he liveth not of or by himself but by the father so do all the elect live by him the Christ and shall live for ever in glory with Christ and addresse all Glory and prayse unto the father by Christ Jesus in that world of glory which shall be without end For none can come to the Son except the father draw him that is as I conceive none but such as are predestinated by him to glory and their names written in the book of life having the fathers work or Spirit of truth and life in them by which they are drawn or alotted to Christ and given to him by the father Even that one God and Father of all who is above all and in all ●or saith Christ the father is greater then all therefore Greater then he who after God the father● likeness Power and Glory is by him created righteousness and trute holiness and being created or made perfect or perfection it self he thus became the author of eternall Salvation and glory to all them that believe and obey him or his will But Belzebub is created Darkness unrighteousness wick●dness evil vanity unholiness destruction or the destroyer hel and perdition and to him are given or allotted the reprobate men of this world of darkness orchildren of perdition and disobedience called vessells of dishonour who are predestinated by the father to dwell in a darke and a drie● land with the destroyer and all his angells or spirits of darkness for ever But the children of the world to come being vessells of honour life light and glory Christ are pr●destinated by the father to dwell in the land of righteousness life light and glory the inheritance and land of glory which the father hath alotted to the Prince of Glory light and life Christ Jesus and so is it called The lot of his inheritance where they shall walk before God the father and shall be led and guided in and by this sacred light of the living which is Christ the Lord who is now in us the hope of this glory to be enjoyed in the land of life or the living in due time where God the Father shall be exalted above the Heavens and his Glory Christ upon all the earth whom he hath made or ordained to be the head of all Principalities and powers in heavenly places even of all spirits of light and spirits of darkness Called of God the Father an high Priest being the ordained righteousness of God unto salvation Who by the Father is created after the power of an endles life and to save them that come to God the Father Therefoe is he stiled The God of salvation to whom belong the Issues from death Being the Ordained Resurrection and the life and the image or visible personall presence of the invisible and incomprehensible God the Father the first Created or born of every creature Who being the beginning hath in all things the preheminence for he is before al things for it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness of Power Maiestie and Glory dwell for all power is given unto him by the Father both in heaven and earth who hath predestinated to reconcile all things unto himself by Jesus Christ for the councell of peace is and shall be for ever between them both even between Father and Son Christ who of God the Father is made unto us Wisdom Righteousness Sanctification and Redemption For Christ hath not thus glorified himself but he the Father that said unto him thou art my Son this day have I begotten or created thee hath glorified him in whom he is well pleased and appointed him for the work of mercy and eternall being to the creature in light and glory and thus is he made by the Father heir apparent of all things in and by whom man is come and admitted to the knowledge of this great incomprehensible God the Father to salvation For the time was that the wotld by this sacred wisdom Christ kn●w not God the Father For in this God of salvation Christ Jesus dwelleth the fulness of the Godhead Father and holy spirit personally or bodily Who is the beginning Prince or head of and over all Principalities and Powers Being the blessed Prince and only ordained King and Lord and Immortality dwelling in the Incomprehensible light of God the Father that none can attain to the knowledge of whom no man did ever see nor can see For him hath God the Father sealed or determined for the work of mercy and glory to the Creature and in him he delighteth in whom the fullness of his power and
