a_o do_v not_o reign_v in_o his_o successor_n b_o because_o b_o do_v not_o reign_v himself_o if_o he_o do_v it_o be_v either_o before_o death_n or_o after_o death_n but_o b_o do_v not_o reign_v before_o death_n for_o that_o be_v a_o time_n of_o suffering_n not_o of_o reign_v and_o after_o death_n he_o do_v not_o reign_v in_o his_o successor_n c_o for_z c_z be_v in_o the_o same_o state_n of_o suffer_v that_o his_o predecessor_n b_o be_v and_o not_o of_o reign_v and_o the_o selfsame_a be_v the_o case_n of_o d_o etc._n etc._n but_o happy_o you_o will_v say_v that_o a_o do_v reign_v in_o his_o life-time_n a_o part_n of_o the_o thousand_o year_n and_o b_o do_v reign_v in_o his_o life-time_n another_o part_n of_o the_o thousand_o year_n after_o a_o be_v dead_a and_o c_o do_v reign_v another_o part_n after_o b_o be_v dead_a and_o so_o of_o d_o etc._n etc._n but_o this_o evasion_n be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o this_o kind_n of_o reign_v if_o the_o time_n of_o our_o suffering_n may_v be_v call_v the_o time_n of_o our_o reign_v be_v more_o than_o a_o thousand_o year_n yea_o several_a thousand_o year_n but_o the_o reign_a john_n speak_v of_o be_v just_a a_o thousand_o year_n and_o neither_o more_o nor_o less_o but_o to_o speak_v the_o truth_n there_o be_v no_o such_o kind_n of_o reign_v as_o this_o evasion_n speak_v of_o for_o a_o do_v not_o reign_v in_o his_o life-time_n for_o that_o be_v as_o i_o say_v before_o a_o time_n of_o suffering_n not_o of_o reign_v the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v of_o b_o c_o and_o d_o and_o therefore_o a_o not_o reign_v in_o his_o own_o person_n while_o he_o live_v nor_o in_o his_o successor_n b_o nor_o b_o in_o his_o successor_n c_o etc._n etc._n reign_v not_o at_o all_o because_o they_o reign_v not_o after_o a_o be_v dead_a again_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o say_v if_o we_o suffer_v we_o do_v reign_v as_o if_o suffering_n and_o reign_v go_v together_o but_o we_o shall_v reign_v that_o be_v after_o death_n not_o before_o so_o john_n here_o speak_v of_o soul_n i.e._n dead_a man_n that_o live_v and_o reign_v with_o christ_n not_o in_o successor_n who_o themselves_o be_v sufferer_n while_o they_o live_v and_o not_o reigner_n but_o in_o their_o own_o person_n 6._o god_n promise_v to_o give_v the_o land_n of_o canaan_n to_o abraham_n to_o isaac_n to_o jacob_n and_o they_o be_v to_o inherit_v it_o in_o

the_o reader_n search_v gen._n 15.7_o 8._o and_o he_o say_v unto_o he_o i_o be_o the_o lord_n that_o bring_v thou_o out_o of_o ur_fw-la of_o the_o chaldee_n to_o give_v thou_o this_o land_n to_o

that_o take_v abraham_n out_o of_o ur_fw-la of_o the_o chaldee_n and_o bring_v he_o into_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n now_o if_o it_o be_v god_n than_o what_o he_o promise_v must_v be_v make_v good_a for_o he_o be_v truth_n if_o self_n and_o have_v all_o power_n so_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a he_o shall_v be_v frustrate_a in_o his_o end_n be_v also_o wisdom_n itself_o 2._o that_o god_n end_n in_o bring_v abraham_n out_o of_o ur_fw-la into_o canaan_n be_v to_o give_v he_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n to_o inherit_v it_o for_o so_o the_o text_n plain_o express_v 3._o that_o for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o abraham_n faith_n god_n do_v promise_v again_o and_o again_o that_o he_o will_v give_v that_o land_n not_o only_o to_o his_o posterity_n but_o to_o he_o to_o inherit_v 4._o that_o this_o promise_n be_v to_o be_v make_v good_a to_o abraham_n live_v not_o dead_a for_o though_o god_n ever_o live_v to_o give_v yet_o the_o dead_a can_v receive_v but_o the_o live_a may_v 5._o that_o this_o promise_n be_v not_o make_v good_a to_o abraham_n while_o he_o live_v that_o life_n which_o he_o then_o have_v act_v 7.5_o he_o give_v he_o none_o inheritance_n in_o it_o viz._n in_o the_o land_n no_o not_o so_o much_o as_o to_o set_v his_o foot_n on_o yet_o he_o promise_v that_o he_o will_v give_v it_o to_o he_o for_o a_o possession_n and_o not_o only_o to_o he_o but_o to_o his_o seed_n which_v seed_n come_v after_o he_o 6._o that_o abraham_n do_v understand_v the_o promise_n thus_o and_o desire_v a_o confirmation_n of_o this_o faith_n as_o appear_v by_o those_o word_n whereby_o shall_v i_o know_v that_o i_o shall_v inherit_v it_o he_o understand_v it_o not_o only_o of_o his_o posterity_n but_o of_o himself_o as_o be_v apparent_a 7._o that_o abraham_n die_v in_o the_o persuasion_n and_o comfortable_a foresight_n of_o this_o promise_n as_o appear_v heb._n 11.13_o these_o die_v in_o faith_n not_o have_v receive_v the_o accomplishment_n of_o the_o promise_n but_o have_v see_v the_o accomplishment_n of_o they_o to_o be_v afar_o off_o and_o be_v persuade_v of_o the_o fulfil_n of_o they_o and_o embrace_v they_o and_o confess_v that_o they_o be_v stranger_n etc._n etc._n 7._o that_o therefore_o abraham_n must_v one_o day_n live_v again_o and_o inherit_v this_o promise_n of_o god_n for_o as_o i_o say_v none_o of_o they_o viz._n neither_o abraham_n isaac_n nor_o jacob_n do_v inherit_v it_o in_o their_o own_o person_n whilst_o they_o live_v as_o be_v plain_a heb._n 11.8_o 9_o 10.13_o 16._o ergo_fw-la they_o must_v live_v again_o one_o day_n to_o inherit_v it_o not_o in_o successor_n but_o in_o their_o own_o person_n for_o the_o promise_n be_v not_o make_v to_o their_o successor_n only_o but_o to_o themselves_o in_o their_o own_o person_n as_o the_o forecited_a text_n declare_v and_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o our_o saviour_n argument_n whereby_o he_o prove_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a mat._n 22.32_o which_o word_n say_v mr._n mede_n must_v be_v understand_v with_o a_o reference_n to_o the_o promise_n make_v to_o abraham_n gen_n ●3_n 15_o and_o 15_o 7._o and_o 17.8_o to_o isaac_n gen._n 26.3_o to_o jacob_n gen._n 35_o

therefore_o they_o must_v one_o day_n live_v again_o to_o inherit_v the_o promise_a land_n which_o hitherto_o they_o have_v not_o do_v for_o that_o god_n that_o thus_o covenant_v with_o they_o covenant_v not_o to_o make_v good_a ●i●_n promise_v to_o they_o dead_a but_o live_v there_o be_v the_o strength_n of_o christ_n argument_n and_o it_o be_v irrefragable_a which_o otherwise_o will_v

beyond_o all_o doubt_n 1._o because_o the_o devil_n shall_v be_v perfect_o bind_v up_o in_o the_o bottomless-pit_n that_o the_o saint_n may_v quiet_o reign_v which_o will_v not_o be_v needful_a to_o

they_o from_o whence_o it_o do_v appear_v that_o the_o belove_a city_n and_o the_o camp_n of_o the_o saint_n shall_v be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o gog_n and_o magog_n in_o the_o four_o quarter_n of_o

shall_v be_v so_o and_o much_o more_o holy_a and_o spiritual_a as_o well_o as_o more_o glorious_a then_o ever_o it_o be_v before_o when_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v become_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o christ_n when_o the_o lord_n himself_o shall_v be_v king_n over_o all_o the_o earth_n and_o his_o name_n be_v one_o object_n but_o it_o will_v be_v demand_v though_o it_o be_v grant_v when_o the_o enemy_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o people_n the_o beast_n and_o false_a prophet_n be_v overthrow_v and_o destroy_v and_o satan_n himself_o chain_v and_o bind_v up_o there_o will_v be_v some_o eminent_a kingdom_n for_o the_o saint_n and_o that_o here_o upon_o earth_n yet_o i_o say_v it_o will_v be_v demand_v and_o the_o query_n be_v whether_o this_o reign_n of_o the_o saint_n that_o have_v be_v behead_v and_o martyr_n of_o jesus_n shall_v be_v in_o their_o own_o person_n or_o in_o their_o successor_n who_o profess_v the_o same_o truth_n with_o they_o as_o many_o godly_a and_o learned_a divine_n do_v affirm_v and_o hold_v that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o same_o individual_a person_n but_o of_o their_o fellow_n and_o successor_n in_o the_o same_o faith_n and_o profession_n who_o follow_v in_o the_o same_o spirit_n and_o cause_n answ_n for_o answer_v to_o this_o i_o can_v see_v at_o all_o how_o such_o a_o succession_n or_o such_o successor_n shall_v be_v mean_v here_o by_o this_o first_o resurrection_n and_o this_o reign_n with_o christ_n a_o thousand_o year_n and_o that_o for_o these_o reason_n among_o other_o following_z 1._o because_o succession_n can_v in_o any_o tolerable_a sense_n be_v call_v a_o resurrection_n but_o this_o live_n again_o and_o reign_v of_o the_o saint_n with_o christ_n be_v call_v a_o resurrection_n ver_fw-la 5._o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o a_o succession_n for_o a_o succession_n be_v of_o other_o body_n in_o the_o room_n of_o those_o depart_v but_o a_o resurrection_n be_v of_o the_o self_n same_o individual_a body_n that_o be_v dead_a before_o we_o have_v need_v methinks_v take_v heed_n lest_o while_o we_o plead_v for_o and_o profess_v such_o a_o figurative_a and_o improper_a resurrection_n we_o shall_v at_o once_o both_o resist_v and_o deny_v the_o truth_n and_o too_o much_o gratify_v atheist_n and_o sadducee_n who_o be_v willing_a to_o take_v all_o occasion_n to_o deny_v the_o resurrection_n altogether_o and_o tell_v we_o it_o be_v but_o a_o fancy_n hatch_v in_o the_o brain_n of_o some_o man_n only_o 2._o because_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o if_o we_o suffer_v with_o he_o we_o shall_v also_o reign_v with_o he_o 2_o tim._n 2.12_o but_o the_o saint_n do_v suffer_v in_o their_o own_o person_n and_o not_o in_o their_o

heaven_n after_o the_o day_n o●_n judgement_n be_v consummate_v and_o end_v for_o then_o christ_n as_o christ_n or_o as_o mediator_n reign_v not_o himself_o but_o as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o 1_o cor._n 15_o 24._o he_o deliver_v up_o the_o kingdom_n to_o the_o father_n that_o god_n may_v be_v all_o in_o all_o he_o himself_o reign_v but_o till_o then_o if_o therefore_o we_o shall_v reign_v with_o he_o it_o must_v be_v while_o he_o reign_v and_o that_o be_v not_o in_o this_o life_n when_o he_o reign_v in_o our_o heart_n spiritual_o for_o that_o be_v the_o time_n of_o our_o suffering_n with_o he_o ergo_fw-la our_o reign_v with_o he_o must_v be_v when_o we_o be_v raise_v again_o a_o thousand_o year_n during_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o this_o in_o their_o own_o person_n not_o in_o any_o survivor_n or_o successor_n for_o if_o we_o suffer_v we_o shall_v reign_v with_o he_o 3._o because_o if_o the_o saint_n shall_v suffer_v in_o their_o own_o person_n and_o reign_v in_o their_o successor_n this_o will_v be_v a_o very_a poor_a encouragement_n to_o any_o man_n to_o become_v a_o martyr_n 1_o cor._n 15.18.19_o then_o they_o also_o which_o be_v fall_v asleep_a in_o

as_o he_o do_v and_o what_o be_v it_o to_o reign_v with_o christ_n but_o to_o reign_v as_o he_o do_v in_o quality_n though_o not_o in_o equality_n to_o be_v glorify_v with_o he_o as_o paul_n expound_v it_o rom._n 8.17_o to_o sit_v with_o he_o upon_o his_o throne_n as_o john_n express_v it_o rev._n 3.21_o but_o christ_n reign_n be_v not_o a_o reign_n in_o successor_n for_o he_o ha●h_v none_o to_o

this_o may_v be_v a_o four_o reason_n against_o the_o saint_n live_v and_o reign_v not_o in_o their_o own_o person_n but_o in_o their_o successor_n 5._o when_o the_o text_n say_v they_o live_v and_o

in_o successor_n then_o by_o this_o reckon_n before_o the_o thousand_o year_n begin_v the_o saint_n have_v no_o successor_n and_o after_o the_o thousand_o year_n be_v end_v they_o shall_v have_v no_o

of_o live_v in_o successor_n be_v not_o before_o then_o begin_v and_o all_o the_o saint_n who_o have_v live_v and_o die_v since_o bless_v luther_n time_n have_v have_v no_o successor_n for_o according_a to_o this_o account_n the_o thousand_o year_n of_o live_v in_o successor_n be_v end_v before_o he_o do_v begin_v what_o a_o strange_a prophecy_n have_v some_o make_v this_o for_o the_o
