in Mr. Mede's Answer to Dr. Twisse's second Letter See Zech. 12.10 11. with Rev. 1.7 Isa 66.8 Isa 60. with many other Texts of Scripture 2dly Another sort of subjects then will be Converted Heathen Gentiles then to come in Isa 60.5 6 c. Isa 19. who shall be then Christ's Inheritance and the utmost parts of the Earth his Possession as Psal 2.8 which the Apostle reckons the greatest riches of the Gentiles Rom. 11.12 If the casting off the Jews was the riches of the Gentiles how much more their fulness And afterwards v. 25. he reveals it as a Mystery to humble us Gentiles in the mean time that blindness was in part happened to the Jews until a first fulness of the Gentiles was come in which our Saviour expresseth by the fulfilling of the times of the Gentiles Luke 21.24 for so long was the Jews calamity and miserable Captivity to endure from Jerusalems destruction as is evident from the context 3dly Christ's chief and best Subjects or Assessors and Deputies then in that his Kingdom will be the blessed raised Saints in the New Jerusalem come down from God Rev. 21.2 who is said to be the Maker and Builder of that City Heb. 11.10 16. which are they our Saviour saith that are counted worthy of that World and the Resurrection of the Just called there also the Children of the Resurrection Luk. 20.35 36. even in that habitable World as the Apostle calls it Heb. 2.5 And at that time when God brings his Son again into the World Heb. 1.6 Where those which God gave him before shall see his own Glory given him as Mediator by the Father as a manifestation of his eternal love to him who he knew would perfectly fulfill that Office and therefore in his last Testament-Will he bequeatheth it to them in the presence of his Father and his Disciples saying John 17.24 Father I will that they c. Observe well both the words and the context they are very weighty all full to this purpose that those raised Saints shall there be where Christ is in his own Kingdom as Dan. 7. there beholding his Glory and many other Texts to the like purpose Consider in the Books wherein many other excellent and sweet points of Christian Doctrine to serious spirits may be observable bordering upon these which to such may by God's Grace be exceeding available to promote Grace and Piety and that from a great advantage above what usually hath been taught or is yet expected by most Christians namely from the weighty consideration of the happiness of the whole man both in soul and body together and that upon Earth where those Saints were formerly despised and suffered when their enemies shall not live in body Isa 26.14 but they shall live with Christ in a triumphant state of Glory Rev. 20.4 5. and that above a thousand years sooner than is ordinarily expected and this happy estate will be a sure entrance into the possession of eternal blessedness in the highest Heavens Men use too greatly to prize and very dearly purchase many times with the loss of their precious souls their earthly falsly supposed perpetuities and when they have done all know not that they or their heirs shall possess I will not say enjoy them for a thousand dayes on Earth but suppose a lawful acquired purchase and left ordinarily with the greatest hope of blessing by a Godly Parent to a gracious Christian Posterity yet how soon do successions many times here degenerate and in some few hundreds of years how are Estates and Nations turned up-side down as sacred and other Histories abundantly evidence and the best mens best estate is here full of evil as well as good bitter sweets at the best yea they and every man in his best estate is altogether vanity Psal 39. And doth Christ by his own peculiar teaching and his evidence must needs be best assure his faithful Servants he hath procured and appointed unto them not a small pittance but a Kingdom and one that cannot be shaken not for a life here or a few successions but for a thousand years on Earth free not only from outward enemies but in the judgment of the best Christians from far worse scil from Sin and Satan with all their retinue Shame Sorrow Death Hell with all that black Regiment that guards them c. On the other hand What bruitish madness do wise men reckon such to be possessed with that cast away a great Estate with the casting of a Dye or by any other sinful earthly frenzy but what is it for any worldly vanity with a curse hereunto entailed and sometimes pursuing it close at the heels to cast away a sure Christian Interest in such a Kingdom as Christ's is sure to be on earth so glorious so satisfying as every condition of the faithful after death is satisfying fully so secure every way blessed in what they enjoy at that period and in what they know they shall enjoy to all eternity For as evil men are made to know all the degrees of their cursed estate both of soul and body likewise to come to their exceeding horror from the very moment of their death when their Conscience being let loose is their accuser witness judge executioner and continual tormentor so godly men appear to know from the very moment of their departure hence every happy condition they are to pass through to eternity therefore of this state said the representatives Rev. 5.10 almost one thousand six hundred years ago we shall reign upon earth so that on the one hand upon this said great advantage Christians may be urged by the Apostles argument a fortiori more strongly as the good is so great and near approaching wherefore Beloved brethren since these things are so what manner of men ought we to be in all holy manner of conversation c. And on the other hand in respect of evil men a fortiori they will not only lose such happiness which they wil not now believe but they will presently know they have lost it and that it will from thenceforth be irrecoverable and which ever will make them miserable they will find they were taken hence in wrath from the tenders of mercy which they had shal never have tenders thereof again made before Christ's second coming or at his coming nor after the last resurrection so that whether thus taken away in particular-displeasure or in the common destruction of the wicked they will throughly know each miserable estate which shall abode them privatively positively as well their poenam damni as poenam sensus as well what they have irreparably lost as what in every estate to eternity will be inflicted upon them Qu. But here by the way is one great Question How will this Doctrine be proved for many great and learned men do not assent to it Answ Whether any Doctrine that is founded evidently and strongly on Gods Word is owned by learned men or eminent men in the
