A85050	Vindiciæ mediorum & mediatoris. or, the present reigning errour arraigned, at the barr of Scripture and reason. Wherein is discovered the falshood and danger of that late borne opinion, that pretends to an immediate enjoyment and call of the Spirit of God, both above and against its owne fffects, [sic] cause, word, ministry, and witness, in all respects. Occasioned by a pamphlet, intituled, The saints travell to the land of Canaan, or a discovery of seventeen false rests, &c. By one R. Wilkinson, a preacher of this errour about Totnes in the West. In the treatise following, the reader shall finde, most of the maine fundamentall doctrinall truths that this age doth controvert, faithfully vindicated, cleared, confirmed. By F. Fullwood, minister of the Gospell at Staple Fitzpane in the county of Somerset.	Fullwood, Francis, d. 1693.	1651 (1651)	Wing F2521; Thomason E1281_1; ESTC R202060	131,348	337

to_o shine_v in_o it_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n do_v light_v it_o and_o the_o lamb_n be_v the_o light_n thereof_o hence_o they_o conclude_v they_o be_v in_o this_o city_n therefore_o they_o have_v no_o temple_n of_o ordinance_n no_o need_n of_o sun_n or_o moon_n the_o lord_n etc._n etc._n and_o the_o lamb_n light_v they_o but_o in_o answer_n hereunto_o i_o shall_v i_o hope_v prove_v

that_o it_o be_v the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n in_o heaven_n and_o that_o upon_o such_o like_a ground_n as_o follow_v 1._o because_o of_o its_o entire_a perfection_n no_o 27._o ver_fw-la 27._o

of_o judgement_n seem_v ult_n chap._n 20._o ult_n to_o precede_v it_o now_o if_o we_o look_v upon_o this_o new_a jerusalem_n as_o the_o perfect_a estate_n of_o the_o church_n after_o judgement_n in_o heaven_n as_o our_o saviour_n will_v submit_v to_o give_v up_o his_o ministerial_a kingdom_n to_o his_o father_n then_o so_o those_o wicked_o presume_v that_o will_v take_v it_o out_o of_o his_o

presence_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n for_o we_o here_o take_v no_o notice_n of_o the_o presence_n of_o his_o person_n with_o it_o and_o this_o opinion_n have_v these_o ground_n among_o many_o more_o against_o the_o former_a 20_o cap._n 12._o 20_o 1._o because_o the_o glory_n of_o this_o city_n seem_v to_o appear_v before_o the_o last_o come_n of_o christ_n 10._o verse_n 25._o compare_v with_o mat._n 25._o 10._o 2._o because_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o proffer_n of_o salvation_n and_o the_o water_n of_o life_n the_o gate_n of_o this_o city_n be_v not_o shut_v by_o day_n and_o there_o

city_n and_o new_a jerusalem_n descend_v out_o of_o heaven_n from_o god_n but_o to_o apply_v to_o our_o present_a drift_n now_o as_o we_o can_v imagine_v that_o unless_o all_o tear_n pain_n sorrow_n death_n yea_o resurrection_n and_o judgement_n be_v already_o past_o we_o thing_n most_o gross_a ridiculous_a and_o senseless_a that_o the_o state_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v already_o heaven_n and_o

from_o they_o upon_o the_o second_o construction_n of_o this_o city_n namely_o to_o be_v that_o glorious_a appearance_n and_o presence_n of_o christ_n upon_o and_o with_o his_o church_n at_o the_o day_n there_o speak_v of_o which_o though_o indeed_o it_o be_v near_o to_o the_o world_n our_o sin_n yet_o i_o suppose_v it_o be_v as_o true_o absent_a yet_o from_o we_o as_o heaven_n itself_o and_o first_o 1._o because_o this_o new_a jerusalem_n come_v down_o out_o of_o heaven_n after_o the_o condemnation_n 3._o verse_n 2_o 3._o judgement_n and_o burn_v of_o the_o great_a whore_n the_o utter_a
