With a short prophesie of the downfall of presbyterie, independencie, anabaptismie, vaine notions, free-will. With a brief description of a true church-state, against which the gates of Hell shall not prevaile; it being founded upon a rock, it will stand against all waves and storms, that either men or devils can raise against it.

Then shalt thou hear that dreadfull sentence passe on thee Matth. 25.41 Depart from me yee Cursed into Everlasting fire prepared for the Devill and his Angels Consider a little this dolefull sentence 1. Thou must depart from the presence of the Lord. 2. Thou departest not blessed but a cursed wretch Depart from me yee cursed 3. Not onely into fire but into everlasting fire no hope of returning 4. The companions that thou shalt have there are the Devill and his Angels Depart from me yee cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the Devill and his Angels And this dreadfull day will come as a thiefe in the night 2 Pet. 3.10 In which the heavens shall passe away with a great noise and the element shall melt with fervent heat and the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burnt up c. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved 2 Pet. 3.11 What manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation and godlinesse Oh! then take heed Watch and pray for you know not how near the time is Mark 13.33 The day of the Lord commeth as a thiefe in the night 1 Thess 5.2 Wherefore beloved seeing that you look for such things be diligent that you may be found of him in peace without spot and blamelesse 2. Pet. 3.14 Thirdly consider if it should be a few moneths or years before this great and terrible day come yet it may not for ought that thou knowest be many dayes no not so much as many houres or minutes before thy particular end come in which thou shalt be gasping for life and breathing out thy last breath If then thou look up God will appear as an angry Judge if thou look down the bottomlesse Pit will strike terrour into thee on thy right hand thy sins stand accusing thee on thy left hand the Devill is ready to execute Gods eternall sentence upon thee within thee thy conscience gnawing without thee thy friends bewailing So that look which way thou wilt above thee beneath thee within thee without thee every object will adde to thy miserie Therefore Oh remember thy Creator in the dayes of thy youth before these evill daies come Eccles 12.1 Intreat the Lord as David did Psal 39.4 Lord make mee to know mine end and the measure of my daies what it is That I may know how fraile I am And wilt thou know how fraile thou art oh vaine man then consider One scripture saith of thy dayes it is as water spilt upon the ground 2 Sam. 14.14 Another scripture saith Our dayes are like a shaddow Psal 102.11 And as if that were too long Job saith Job 7.7 My life is but a winde Psal 102.3 Our daies consume like smoak Wee all doe fade as a leafe Isa 64 6. All flesh is grasse and all the glory of man as the flower of the grasse the grasse withereth and the flower thereof falleth away 1 Pet. 1.24 And as if all these resemblances signified too much length to hold forth the shortnes of our life the holy Ghost doth contract it shorter Psal 39 5. Thou hast made my dayes as an hand breadth And as if that resemblance also were too long he saith in the same verse Mine age is as nothing Well then doth the scripture in many places say We are like a buble of the brooke a tale that is told or a dream Oh how should the serious consideration hereof teach thee so to number thy dayes that thou mightest apply thine heart to true and perfect wisdome Or as the wise man saith Eccles 12.6 Remember thy creator before the silver cord be loosed or the golden bowle be broken for as death leaves thee so Judgement will finde thee c. In a word it is a point of high wisdome to be often thinking and meditating of out latter end for the Lord himself faith Deut. 32.29 That they were wise that they understood this to consider their latter end So he that made thee teach and perfect thee Two Words to those chosen out of the World NOw I shall come to speak two words to those that are chosen out of the World First Generally to all the Saints Secondly More particularly to the Saints under those titles or forms by which they are most commonly known 1 The word in generall To all that are truly godly for now to you I speak even to you my fellow members and brethren in Christ Awake awake Put on t●y strength O Sion put on thy beautifull garments O Ierusalem thou holy City Isa 52.1 Arise my beloved and come away 2 Can. 10.13 For the day is dawning and the day-star arising in your hearts 2 Pet. 1.19 Oh Saints Consider a little upon what ground you stand upon what foundation you are built doest thou believe there was such a Christ as the scriptures mention Doest thou believe that this Christ took thy nature and also thy sins Doest thou believe that in this thy nature he fulfilled the law took it away nailed it to the Crosse and so is become the end of the law to all that believe also freed thee from sin past present and to come and so from death the wages thereof doest thou conceive that God will make good his gracious promises in particular these Isa 25.7 8 c. He will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people and the vaile that is spread over all nations He will swallow up death in victory And the Lord God will wipe away tears from of all faces And the rebuke of his people shall bee taken away from off all the earth Doest thou believe that the knowledge of the Lord shall cover the earth as the waters the Sea and that We shall all know him from the greatest to the least Jer. 31.34 Doest thou believe those words which the Lord spake to Daniel chap. 7.27 And the kingdome and the dominion and the greatnes of the kingdome under the whole heavens mark this word under the whole heavens shall be given to the people of the Saints for their kingdome is an everlasting kingdome and all dominions shall serve and obey them Doest thou believe those words Isa 30.26 Moreover the light of the Moone shall be as the light of the Sun and the light of the Sun shall be sevenfold Doest thou believe that the Lord will wipe away all tears from off all faces and that there shall be no more sorrow nor crying neither shall there be any more pain Revel 21.4 Doest thou believe what the Lord saith in Isa 35.10 And the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Sion with songs and everlasting

envy Judah nor Judah vexe Ephraim Then the Kingdome and the dominion and the greatnesse of the Kingdome shall bee given to the Kingdome of the Saints Whose Kingdome is an ever lasting Kingdome and all dominions shall serve and obey them Dan. 7.27 Then the Nations that will not serve thee that is Christ in the Saints shall perish Isa 60.12 Now God having given you all one heart and one way as it is written Jer. 32.19 Now shall bee brought to passe that saying Isa 11.6 7 8. The Woolfe shall dwell with the Lambe and the Leopard shall lye downe with the Kid c. verse 9. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all mine holy mountaine for the Earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the Sea The envy of Ephraim shall depart and the Adversaries of Judah shall be cut off Then all you the Israell of God shall have your Fathers law written in your hearts Then you shall cease teaching one another saying know the Lord for they shall all of them know mee from the least to the greatest of them saith the Lord Jer. 31.34 My deare friends I have much more to write unto you of these things but being more straitned in time than in love at present I shall passe by many things first concerning the restitution of all things spoken of Rom. 8.19 20 21 22 23. and Acts 3 20 21 22 23 24. And to in many other Scriptures which for present I omit and then what shall follow upon the restitution of all things Rev. 11.15 Rev. 21.2 3 4. These things were in my heart to write of distinctly seeing that all as well Saints as sinners are extreamely ignorant of these tnings though most clearly held forth in Scripture that a man can hardly speake of them though he speaks no more than the History holds forth but one is offended and another is troubled therefore at present I am silent therein As our Lord said I have more things to speake but yee cannot beare them now and this Scripture likewise Hast thou faith have it to thy selfe c. So I passe by that which thou shalt shortly enjoy and come to speake a few words of what many of the Saints doe already enjoy and oh that all the Saints did but truly consider these ensuing things which I never received of man neither was I taught them by man but of God alone Thou that art a beleever consider First The law that thou hast broken Christ hath kept fulfilled and taken away Secondly Thy sinnes which were many both originall and actuall of omission and commission thy sins past those present and those to come are all laid upon Christ and the wages due to them heereceived Thirdly Consider Upon what accompt thou now standest before the Father not of thine owne righteousnesse but the righteousnesse of Christ Fourthly Consider That thou being made free from sin doest reckon thy selfe so Rom. 6.11 Likewise reckon your selves to be dead indeed unto sin but alive unto God Fifthly When thou art thus built upon Christ and thus rooted and grounded in him Ephe. 3.18 19. Then thou shalt be able to comprehend with all Saints what is the height and depth breadth and length of his love and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge Now followes the fruit of this knowledge The soule that is enlightened will not goe on in sinne but the love of Christ will constraine him from a course of sinne I shall speake a word to every one of these particulars briefly and plainely 1. Of the first the Law that thou hast broken Christ hath kept fulfilled and taken away The Law required obedience of thee Christ comes and yeelds obedience for thee and imputes it to thee Rom. 5.19 As by the disobedience of one many are made sinners so by the obedience of one shall many bee made righteous The Law required the keeping of every title of the first and second Table Christ comes and walkes up to it step by step So that the Law could no sooner require obedience but presently Christ yeelds obedience as it was in the old Testament prophesied and in the new testified of him The Law required an holy life Christ lived a holy life The Law required perfect obedience as well in the principles as in the practise Christ yeelds it in both The Law requires death for the least disobedience and though Christ had not broken it in any title yet hee representing the persons of those that had broken it became obedient unto the Law in this also Phillip 2.8 And being found in fashion as a man he humbled himselfe and became obedient unto death even the death of the Crosse And that the Law is done away by Christ see 2 Cor. 3. foure times in that chapter it is said to bee done away Also Rom. 7. Rom. 10.4 and so the 2 3 4. chap. to the Galathians and many other Scriptures 2. Consider Thy sinnes which are many both originall and actuall of omission or commission against the first Table or the second thy sins past present and to come are all laid upon Christ and the wages due to them hee received Isai 53 6. And the Lord hath laid on him the iniquities of us all 1 Pet. 2.24 Who himselfe bare our sins in his owne body on the tree c. 2 Cor. 5.21 Hee hath made him to be sin for us that knew no sin that we might bee made the righteousnesse of God in him Mat 8.17 Himselfe tooke our infirmities and bare our sicknesses 3. Consider Upon what accompt you stand before the Father viz. not of your own righteousne but upon the accompt of the righteousnesse of Jesus Christ 1 Cor. 1.30 Hee is made unto us wisedome righteousnesse sanctification and redemption Phil. 3.9 And be found in him not having mine owne righteousnesse which is of the Law but that which is through the Faith of Christ the righteousnesse of God by Faith 4. Consider If the Law be fulfilled thy sinnes pardoned and thou now standest before thy Father by the righteousnesse of another Then thou canst not but looke upon thy selfe as free from sin and so breake forth as in Rom. 6.11 Likewise reckon your selves dead unto sinne indeed but alive unto God Being then made free from sinne yee became the Servants of Righteousnesse Rom. 6.18 But now being made free from sin and become Servants to God yee have your fruit unto holinesse and the end everlasting life Rom 6.22 Collo 1.22 Hee hath reconciled you in the body of his flesh through death to present you holy and unblameable and unreprovable in his sight 1 Thess 3.13 Now one that is 1. Holy 2. Unblameable 3. Unreproveable must needs be free from sin 5. When thou art thus rooted and grounded in love thou shalt be able to comprehend with all Saints What is the breadth and length and height and depth and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge Ephe. 3.18 So shalt
