A86901	The sermon and prophesie of James Hunt: concerning the marriage of the Lambe, and of the confounding of the Whore of Babylon, and to shew by what means she shall be bought to confusion. Whereof I James Hunt humbly beseech the Honourable House of Parliament, for the mercies of God, that you will read this book with observation, for to see and prove whether it be agreeable to the honour and glory of God, and the confounding of the devill.	Hunt, James, 17th cent.	1642 (1642)	Wing H3734; Thomason E132_21; ESTC R22381	4,484	9

in the last verse of the same chap. The woman which thou sawest the great whore which thou sawest is that great Citie which raigneth over the Kings of the earth for their Merchants were the great men of the earth Revel 18.23 which signifieth the carnall Ministers of the earth for by their falsiry all Nations were deceived and by whom I my selfe once was deceived This word sawsery signifieth so many false and corruptible doctrines whereby the Devill and all his carnall Ministers have blinded and as it were bewitched the minds of the people which are as yet held under their power And a mightie Angel tooke up a stone like a great Milstone and cast it into the Sea saying Thus with violence shall that great Citie Babylon be throwne downe Revel 18.21 For by faith the walls of Jericho fell downe Heb. 11.30 So by the sound of the Trumpet which is by the powerfull preaching of the Word of God in the doctrine of the New Testament which is the lively and justifying faith shall sound so powerfully against all false doctrine and false worship which belongeth to the Devill and his Kingdome of darknesse that the spirituall buildings of Babylon shall fall downe to the ground Thus I have shewed you the signification of the water of life againe I have shewed you the signification of the great Whore that sits upon so many waters which I have proved doth signifie the Devill and all his carnall Ministers which have gathered to themselves so many false and corruptible doctrines which proceedeth from the wisdome of the flesh But now I trust in God the waters of life I meane the children of God which shall have a delight to drinke freely thereof they will fight so powerfully against the devill and all his carnall Ministers that their hellish power will be broken quite downe for now I make no doubt but that saying will be brought to passe that is written in the first Epistle to the Corinthians the 15. chap vers 54. Death shall be swallowed up into victory death shall be swallowed up of life O death where is thy sting O grave where is thy victory so thou where now is thy victory the sting of death is sinne and the strength of sinne is the Law but thankes be unto God who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ So I thanke God he hath given me the victory through the vertue and divine power of his Word in his glorious Gospell for the strength of sinne is the Law Wherefore as by one man sinne entred into the world sinne entred into Adam and death by sinne and so death passed upon all men for that all have sinned Rom. 5.12 Againe By the offence of one Judgement came upon all men to condemnation Moreover the Law entred that the offence might abound vers 20. This word Moreover signifieth moreover and above the fall of Adam the Law entred that the offence might abound but where sinne abounded grace did much more abound by one Jesus Christ for he was delivered for our offences and was raised againe for our Justification Rom. 4.25 Therefore being justified by faith we have peace with God thorow our Lord Jesus Christ But the enemies and people say that Christ hath redeemed us from the Ceremoniall Law some againe say from the Judiciall Law others say from the Leviticall Law so they have divided the old Testament into two or three parts but if I aske any of them if there be any more then two Testaments they will say no then my answer to them againe is in the ninth Chapter to the Hebrewes vers 15. For this cause Christ is the Mediatour of the New Testament that by meanes of death for the redemption of the transgression that were under the first Testament This verse of Scripture doth plainly prove of two Testaments The first signifieth the old Law and Testament which Christ hath redeemed us from which I have proved to be unto death and condemnation The second is the ministration of the bloud of the New Testament which is the power of God to everlasting life and justification therefore being saved and justified freely by grace we all have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ The Apostle exhorteth saying Let there be supplications and prayers for Kings and for all that are in authoritie 1 Tim. 2. chap. Againe he saith Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly teaching and admonishing one another in Psalmes and spirituall songs Hereby I plainly prove that godly prayers according to the true worship and honour of God and David Psalmes shall abide in the Church of Christ for ever But for the old Law and Testament which Christ hath redeemed us from and the Common Service-Book they must be laid aside for they doe not belong to the glorious body of Christ which I can prove to be the glorious and triumphing Church Now the God of peace that brought againe from the dead our Lord Jesus that great Shepheard of the sheepe through the bloud of the everlasting Covenant make you all perfect to doe his will He saith the Great Shepheard of the sheepe wherefore I acknowledge there is but one God and there must and shall be but one Religion one Shepheard one Sheep-fold and the meanes which God hath ordained to gather the Sheep into one fold is by the powerfull preaching of his Word which is revealed in his Gospell And we know that the Sonne of God is come and hath given us understanding that we may know him that is true and we are in him that is true even in his Sonne Jesus Christ This is the true God and eternall life to whom be all praise honour glory power might dominion and majestie both now and evermore world without end Amen FINIS
