A45517	The key of sacred scripture, and, leading to it first, an answer to some objections given to the author, by a person of great learning and piety : wherein many mistakes, by which most professors wound themselves, and strengthen the hands of the churche's adversaries, are clearly discovered, and the more invincible weapons of truth inviolable (tending effectually to refel errors, and reform manners) are tendred to them / by Tho.

c. That Lamb upon Mount Sion shall be this Antitype Mystery of God whom he declared to his Servants the Prophets And who shall that Lamb or so declared Mystery of God be I answer That Lamb shall be the Secular and Spiritual Representative of Christ Mystical the Gospel-Church revived and returned out of the Wilderness Chap. 11.9 11. Chap. 12.6 14. Ezek. 37.24 25. For the first Adam was the Mystery of God in a Figure who when God had formed him and breathed into him the breath of Life became a Prophetick Adumbration of the second Adam Christ Incarnate dead and risen from Death he was the Root of that first and of this Antitype-Mystery of God in the Text The first had and this shall have their being and denominations from him The first Man or Mystery of God was a Prophet The second Man was the Patriarch of all Prophets and both prophetically foretold the first by his Sleep the second by his Death and Resurrection this Antitype-Mystery of God who also lay dead and shall be revived by the breath of Life from God entering into him Chap. 11.9 11. Ezek. 37.14 And this Prefigured Mystery of God the chief end of Christ's coming and dying in order to God's Glory is the Mystery of God in the Text whom God declared to his Servants the Prophets and who is the principal subject of this sealed Book till he be finished and after shall be when the same Book shall be opened for evermore But Secondly If this Book be as the Text fully imports the Book of what God declared to his Servants the Prophets then it might seem to be the whole Scripture which also some of the best Expositors not rightly distinguishing say in effect as I noted before For the whole Scripture was given of God to his Servants the Prophets by Inspiration c. 2 Tim. 3.16 17. All the Scripture therefore might seem to be this sealed Book if it be the Book of What God declared to his Servants the Prophets which a Man may be the more apt to believe because Men Saints and Sects so live and so know and do as if there were no Scripture or as if all the Scripture were indeed sealed But in order to the opening of the Seals of this Book we must distinguish For Some Scriptures are not sealed in some respects and in others sealed Some are more some less sealed And In some respect the whole Scripture may be said to be sealed And first Some Scripture is not sealed in some respects and in other sealed For the Historical part of Scripture as Historical is not sealed But much of that that is Historical is also Prophetical And so it is or may be sealed For example The History of the Creation as it is Historical is not sealed But that History is also a Prophecy and holds forth the lost and supreme end of the Creation or the Antitype thereof which the Apostle calls a new Heaven and a new Earth 2 Pet. 3.13 A Man that is not unlearn'd may reade that God in the Beginning created Heaven and Earth and the things therein The History of them as it is Historical is not sealed But that History as also Prophetical points forth that promised new Heaven and new Earth and so it is or hath been sealed Isa 65.17 Chap. 66.72 Pet. 3.13 Rev. 21.1 5. So the History of the fall of the first Old World as it is an History is not sealed But that History is also a Prophecy and that World prefigured the fall of this present Old World The History holds forth the Causes of the fall of the first World and as that History is also a Prophecy so it foretells the same Sins in effect should be the Causes of the fall of this second Old World The Causes of the fall of the first were these in the History The wickedness of Man was great in the Earth and every imagination of the thoughts of his Heart was only evil continually All Flesh had corrupted his way and the Earth was filled with violence so that God repented that he had made Man and it grieved him at the Heart Mutato nomine tantum Change but that History as Christ himself doth into a Prophecy and the same Sins are the Causes but more redundant and dreadful in the Antitype of the fall of this present evil Old World As the days of Noah were so likewise shall the coming of the Son of Man be Matth. 24.37 Out Saviour adds that they knew nothing till the Flood came vers 39. Inadvertency was the Universal Flood-gate of all wickedness to that Old World and is to this That minded nothing and therefore knew nothing and this as much The History of the first we see is not sealed But as it is a Prophecy of this second it seems altogether sealed insomuch that Sects Saints and Professors rather say We are Rich and increased with Goods and have need of nothing than believe that the Sins of the Old World are devolved with advantage upon themselves The History of Type-primitive Israels flying from the Famine into the Wilderness and into her place there prepared of God literal Egypt where she was fed and nourished is not sealed Gen. 46.1 But the flight or the Gospel Church-Primitive from the face of the Serpent into the Spiritual Wilderness and into her place there prepared of G●d Spiritual Egypt the Papacy with her Sects where she was fed and nourished for 1260 years is prophetically held forth in the foresaid History And this Prophecy in that History is or hath been long sealed Rev. 12.6 14. Chap. 11.8 We find the same Prophecy further cleared in another History Exod. Chap. 14. Chap. 15. where the Jewish Church-Primitive fled from the face of Pharaoh and his Host through the Sea into the Wilderness where she was fed and nourished forty Years Pharaoh and his Host fell in the Sea and Moses and Israel sang a Song of Thankfulness to God Exod. 15. The History is not sealed but it shadowed forth prophetically the Gospel Church-Primitive when she fled from the face of Serpent into the Spiritual Wilderness for 1260 Years And then or soon after she having gotten the victory over the Beast and being returned out of the Wilderness shall also sing a Song of Thankfulness and Deliverance the Song of Moses and of the Lamb saith the Text Rev. 12.6 14. Chap. 13.18 Chap. 14.3 Chap. 15.3 That History is not sealed but this Prophecy therein is or at least hath been long sealed The History of the seven years Famine in Egypt and in all Nations denoted by seven lean Beasts is sufficiently legible but those seven Beasts held forth prophetically the seven Heads of the secular Beast-Papal Chap. 13.1 And those seven Years of Famine prefigured the superlative scarcity of Faith and Good Manners in all Nations for above 1260 Years whiles those seven Heads have preheminence For as Pharaoh's Dream was doubled to shew the certainty of it so seven Years
