The slumber of the false prophet and Anti-Evangelist was in the time of Henry the Eighth when they were made to acknowledge the Kings Supremacy and not the Popes in the yeer 1531. whose sleep was brought on the false prophet and Anti-Evangelist in the yeer 1644 in the making of that Ordinance appointed the taking the Covenant the second branch wherof was that without respect of persons we should endevour the extirpation of Popery and Prelacy that is Church Government by Archbishops Bishops c. which ended in William Laud Jan 10. 1644. The slumber of the Anti-teacher was in that slumber ●●il on the re●t 1531 and is falne asleep and no man knoweth how it being now apparent to all that Deacons were not teachers in the Church as Deacons but ministred almes to the poore only so that now there is none acknowledged and so none awake but the Presbyter that is the Antipastor Let me ask the Question are they awake or do they slumber sure heavens thunder cannot keepe them long from sleeping me thinks the Questioning ministers calling the not suffering the Presbyterian Government to be Jure divino and the daily shaking of her foundations are very dangerous signes she is in a deadly slumber she would else awake and speak for her self Object Here it is questionlesse ô but in Scotland it is awake Here friends I speak not of envy to any but to glorify God in speaking the truth Presbytery must sleep in Scotland as well as Episcopacy in England Episcopacy had as great friends and command here in England as presbytery ever had in Scotland or can have and had it's glory of longer continuance and it is no lesse ordained 〈◊〉 God that presbytery shall sleep then Episcopacy Friends do you not consider you that made that clause in the 2d. branch of the Covenant where we are to endeavour the extirpation not only of Arch-bishops Chancellors Commissaries c. but all other Ecclesiasticall Officers depending on that Hierarchy do not presbyters depend on that Hierarchy I do beleeve in time this will be made use of against presbytery if not on what Hierarchy doth it depend Note it all ye to whom this Writing shall come that as certainly as ye have seen the sleep of Cardinals Arch-bi hops Bishops and Deacons which are four of the foolish Virgins so certainly shall ye see the sleep of presbyters in this Land the whole Earth shall not hinder it she being the fift 2 The time cannot belong it precedes the marriage of the Lamb as near as it is this is the last ô expect thy sleep Object Why if this should be what shall we do for Ministers Reply God will furnish the Land with Teachers for if he give the Word great will be the company of Preachers and truly friend I cannot write this nor think of it but with admiration of that work most certainly God will do in this Kingdome when the scoffers of the times will be ashamed Vers 6. At midnight a cry was made behold the Bridegroome cometh go ye out to meet him What the severall Expositions here are of the day of Judgment and the like I shall passe by as impertinent and shew you 1 That marriages in those parts were oft times celebrated in the night when the younger sort of people attending with the Bride went to meet the Bridegroom and accompany him into the Brides chāber but in that it is said to be at midnight it may be imputed to the word delay before v. 5. which time of delay was the time of Antichrist untill his time of tyranny and his Government were ended as expressed of the ill servant in the time of his Lords delay beating his fellow-servants and eating and drinking with the drunken Cap. 24. ver 48 49. When the Lord came he cut him in two c. and the word delay shews marriages were not usually made so late at night 2 It may be he alludes to the first publick notice of Christs coming to his Church in Jerom of Prage or Luthers time which was but a little better then the darkest time of Popery 3 A cry in the teaching of the Gospell now is made of Christ's coming he being other ways held out in the doctrine taught now then in that before Luther 4 They are called on to go out to meet the Lord that is to performe their ministeriall duty in bringing Christ to the Church and in presenting the Church to Christ this begins I suppose with Luther in some kind because Cardinals were sleeping and Arch-bishops and Bishops slumbring but indeed the true time or full time of the cry will be when all are asleep and it may well be called midnight when the ministry is all as it were true and false abolished the true by Antichrist and Christ by his coming abolisheth Antichrists ministry again When God shall do this what rayling will there be against Authority as if they overthrew it Ver. 7.
