A50858	A beame of light darted thorough [sic] the clouds, or, Truth breaking forth from under a veil by Joshua Miller.	Miller, Joshua, 17th cent.	1650 (1650)	Wing M2062; ESTC R35047	30,283	75

saint_n i_o judge_v that_o all_o punishment_n for_o sin_n according_a to_o the_o term_n of_o the_o word_n be_v take_v away_o only_o a_o love_a correction_n whether_o god_n castigate_v for_o sin_n or_o from_o sin_n i_o have_v a_o latitude_n in_o my_o judgement_n to_o suppose_v both_o may_v be_v true_a and_o i_o believe_v that_o christ_n never_o so_o satisfy_v god_n as_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o correct_v his_o people_n for_o christ_n death_n do_v not_o at_o all_o extend_v to_o that_o particular_a when_o christ_n bid_v his_o disciple_n pray_v he_o exhort_v they_o to_o say_v forgive_v we_o our_o trespass_n now_o if_o they_o need_v not_o to_o ask_v pardon_n in_o this_o sense_n why_o be_v this_o petition_n include_v so_o it_o be_v speak_v to_o saint_n by_o the_o first_o word_n say_v our_o father_n now_o in_o what_o sense_n this_o prayer_n may_v mean_v we_o shall_v ask_v pardon_n i_o answer_v only_o as_o to_o a_o father_n and_o no_o otherwise_o so_o john_n if_o we_o confess_v our_o sin_n he_o be_v faithful_a and_o just_a to_o forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n 1_o john_n 1.9_o why_o be_v not_o sin_n forgive_v before_o yea_o in_o respect_n of_o justification_n but_o this_o confession_n and_o pardon_n be_v only_o under_o a_o fatherly_a relation_n yet_o hereby_o i_o do_v not_o understand_v that_o our_o prayer_n make_v any_o change_n in_o god_n will_n but_o rather_o in_o pray_v god_n do_v manifest_a what_o he_o will_v do_v to_o we_o and_o for_o we_o so_o than_o i_o judge_v that_o a_o christian_n ought_v not_o to_o pray_v to_o god_n as_o a_o judge_n for_o pardon_n but_o may_v consider_v he_o as_o a_o father_n chap._n v._o whether_o this_o visible_a world_n shall_v be_v destroy_v or_o change_v and_o how_o god_n from_o age_n to_o age_n bring_v forth_o some_o old_a truth_n as_o new_a unto_o the_o world_n therefore_o let_v not_o the_o reader_n stumble_v if_o he_o find_v that_o here_o which_o may_v at_o present_a be_v contrary_a to_o most_o man_n judgement_n for_o that_o opinion_n of_o some_o that_o say_v the_o world_n be_v judge_v already_o in_o the_o saint_n in_o some_o respect_n be_v true_a to_o he_o that_o live_v in_o spirit_n but_o i_o will_v not_o speak_v of_o that_o i_o leave_v the_o end_n to_o try_v all_o thing_n my_o discourse_n shall_v only_o be_v of_o this_o question_n whether_o this_o visible_a frame_n of_o thing_n shall_v be_v destroy_v or_o change_v which_o be_v a_o great_a question_n among_o godly_a man_n which_o i_o say_v not_o that_o i_o will_v resolve_v but_o only_a hint_n at_o it_o as_o the_o truth_n be_v manifest_v in_o i_o first_o that_o this_o visible_a world_n shall_v be_v destroy_v by_o material_a sire_n as_o some_o place_n seem_v to_o allow_v as_o 2_o pet._n 3.7_o where_o the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n be_v keep_v in_o store_n reserve_v unto_o fire_n some_o think_v that_o as_o the_o old_a world_n be_v destroy_v with_o water_n so_o the_o anti-type_n must_v be_v like_o it_o that_o be_v to_o say_v destroy_v by_o fire_n a_o argument_n for_o this_o opinion_n may_v be_v thus_o frame_v fire_n be_v a_o element_n strong_a and_o fierce_a therefore_o all_o matter_n that_o be_v tangible_a by_o it_o may_v be_v consume_v but_o the_o visible_a world_n have_v matter_n fit_a for_o fire_n to_o feed_v upon_o therefore_o it_o shall_v be_v burn_v but_o this_o argument_n be_v more_o logical_a than_o theological_a and_o it_o will_v not_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n to_o prove_v that_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o heaven_n be_v not_o matter_n for_o fire_n but_o rather_o fight_v against_o it_o in_o the_o 12._o verse_n of_o the_o aforesaid_a chapter_n the_o heaven_n be_v on_o fire_n shall_v be_v dissolve_v and_o the_o element_n shall_v melt_v with_o fervent_a heat_n that_o as_o fire_n consume_v all_o stubble_n so_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o utter_a consummation_n so_o in_o 2_o thes_n 1.8_o he_o shall_v come_v in_o flame_a fire_n take_v vengeance_n some_o from_o these_o place_n conclude_v that_o it_o will_v be_v material_a fire_n and_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v burn_v up_o now_o to_o answer_v these_o place_n there_o be_v some_o scripture_n that_o speak_v not_o of_o a_o utter_a desolation_n and_o if_o i_o err_v consider_v with_o thyself_o i_o be_o not_o alone_a i_o may_v ask_v whether_o those_o former_a place_n speak_v of_o fire_n in_o a_o metaphorical_a sense_n and_o by_o way_n of_o allusion_n and_o no_o more_o that_o as_o the_o nature_n of_o fire_n be_v to_o purge_v and_o purify_v dross_n out_o of_o metal_n and_o it_o sudden_o burn_v up_o all_o combustible_a matter_n so_o this_o may_v note_v the_o suddenness_n of_o that_o change_n and_o that_o it_o will_v purge_v the_o world_n of_o its_o dross_n and_o for_o the_o haven_n melt_v with_o fervent_a heat_n it_o may_v point_v this_o to_o we_o that_o they_o shall_v melt_v so_o as_o wax_n do_v by_o the_o candle_n where_o it_o be_v not_o destroy_v but_o only_o make_v pliable_a to_o receive_v the_o impression_n of_o the_o scale_n so_o the_o heaven_n may_v thus_o be_v say_v to_o melt_v that_o be_v to_o say_v not_o destroy_v but_o only_o change_v from_o those_o corrupt_a quality_n that_o be_v in_o it_o not_o of_o the_o substance_n it_o shall_v receive_v the_o deep_a impression_n of_o god_n image_n and_o glory_n now_o to_o illustrate_v this_o that_o there_o will_v only_o be_v a_o change_n 2_o pet._n 3.13_o nevertheless_o we_o look_v for_o a_o new_a heaven_n and_o a_o new_a earth_n wherein_o dwell_v righteousness_n this_o seem_v to_o allow_v that_o only_o the_o corruption_n shall_v be_v take_v away_o and_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o new_a heaven_n and_o earth_n in_o righteousness_n they_o shall_v be_v bring_v forth_o into_o a_o state_n of_o purity_n free_v from_o bondage_n non_fw-la per_fw-la interitum_fw-la pristinorum_fw-la sed_fw-la commutationem_fw-la in_o melius_fw-la not_o by_o a_o destruction_n of_o the_o old_a but_o by_o a_o change_n into_o a_o better_a so_o david_n speak_v psal_n 102.26_o the_o heaven_n shall_v wax_v old_a as_o a_o garment_n as_o a_o vesture_n shall_v thou_o change_v they_o and_o they_o shall_v be_v change_v he_o say_v not_o here_o destroy_v they_o now_o the_o change_v a_o thing_n be_v a_o convert_v the_o same_o to_o the_o best_a advantage_n and_o the_o allusion_n seem_v to_o be_v strange_a that_o as_o a_o vesture_n when_o change_v be_v not_o destroy_v but_o only_o refine_v dress_v the_o best_a side_n outward_a so_o the_o world_n have_v at_o present_a corruption_n cover_v it_o as_o a_o garment_n therefore_o it_o may_v be_v translate_v into_o a_o better_a state_n for_o if_o david_n word_n hold_v true_a than_o it_o must_v be_v change_v but_o not_o destroy_v and_o indeed_o the_o worst_a side_n of_o the_o world_n be_v now_o outward_a since_o adam_n fall_n but_o i_o will_v not_o determine_v whether_o this_o change_n will_v be_v by_o material_a fire_n or_o whether_o fire_n in_o those_o place_n be_v a_o figurative_a speech_n for_o the_o instrumental_a cause_n of_o this_o change_n i_o may_v have_v some_o ground_n to_o suppose_v the_o contrary_a but_o will_v leave_v this_o to_o the_o end_n which_o try_v all_o thing_n some_o have_v convert_v these_o scripture_n into_o other_o mysterious_a sense_n and_o i_o judge_v a_o spiritual_a use_n may_v be_v make_v of_o all_o thing_n yet_o let_v none_o be_v so_o ignorant_a as_o to_o bind_v one_o sense_n upon_o such_o place_n as_o these_o be_v for_o some_o scripture_n have_v both_o a_o literal_a and_o a_o spiritual_a meaning_n under_o they_o for_o instance_n where_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o raise_v the_o dead_a cleanse_v the_o leper_n heal_v the_o sick_a and_o the_o like_a no_o man_n can_v true_o deny_v but_o that_o christ_n do_v fulfil_v this_o in_o the_o letter_n yet_o he_o do_v it_o in_o a_o spiritual_a sense_n also_o every_o man_n have_v microcosmos_n ecclesiast_fw-la 3.11_o a_o little_a world_n in_o he_o now_o god_n in_o order_n to_o the_o great_a change_n begin_v first_o in_o man_n heart_n therefore_o let_v christian_n take_v heed_n of_o deny_v one_o truth_n by_o bind_v it_o to_o another_o for_o to_o avoid_v error_n i_o will_v take_v such_o scripture_n in_o the_o large_a sense_n for_o both_o these_o meaning_n may_v be_v in_o few_o word_n chap_n vi_o whether_o all_o creature_n shall_v be_v restore_v to_o their_o pristinate_a state_n in_o adam_n the_o whole_a creation_n since_o adam_n
