themselves above Kings and Emperors and the first papal Usurpation was observed in Benedict the ninth who attempted to depose the Emperor from his Imperial Seat and dispose of the Crown to whom he pleased about the Year of Christ's Nativity 1034 as Histories confirm and especially Lucas Osiander in Epitom Hist. Eccles. Which was afterwards more vigorously followed by Gregory the seventh alias Hildebrand about the Year 1073 An. 1073 and in succeeding Ages continued to this day Quest. 77. Doth not that number of 144000 whom Iohn saw upon Sion standing with the Lamb and Singing a new Song c. signifie the same described in the like number Chap 7. who shall be the first Fruits of the first Resurrection above cited When they shall be plainly distinguished from the four Beast●● and fo●r and twenty ●lders because they shall Sing a new Song before the Beasts and Elders and none was able to learn that Song except the 144000● and yet God will most certainly have other faithful Servants on Ea●th at that time also● tho' they cannot as yet learn the aforesaid Song which s●●ms to be some peculiar Property in those only that obtain the firs● Resurrection Quest. 78. Will not the time wh●r●i● the 144000 will appear be after the expiration of 42 Months or 1260 Years which are the Years of the ●irst Beas● And th● latter 666 years b●longing to the s●con● Beast will have the ●ame End and P●riod ending about th● Year of Christ's Nativity 1700 The Year 1700 in true Chronol●gy differs fr●m the common respect being ha● to true Chronology which many think differs some years ●rom the vulgar computation so as that the true is by some though● to preceed the vulgar by t●e space of two Years others think four years Quest. 79. About the time when t●e number of those that are Sealed 14400● shall appear will not an Angel fly throug● the midst of Heaven having the everlasting Gospel to preach to the Inhabitants o● th● Earth to every Nation People Tongue and Kindred And who is this Angel Is it not Jesus Christ Or some Angel having his Conmission And how shall this Angel preach the Gospel to all every where Shall he not do it by inspiring Good and Holy Men and stirring them up to go into other Nations whereby they shall declare and publish the Gospel of Christ over the whole Earth And so indeed there shall not be a Nation or People upon the whole Globe of the Earth to whom the Gospel shall not be both externally and internally preached and declared as Christ had foretold all the elect Children of God wheresoever dispersed shall be gather'd together and the rest shall be left without excuse And doth not this time belong to the Church of P●i●●delphia to whom the Lord had promised that he would open a door before her which no Man should shut And therefore shall not the Ears and Hearts of sundry in all Nations be effectually opened by Divine Power operating in the Ministers sent from God to believe and obey the holy Gospel whereby there shall be a great Conversion of many People of every Kindred Stock and Family unto Christ after this universal Publication of the Gospel And shall not also the Gift of Tongues and Miracles with divers other noble and excellent Gifts of the Divine Spirit once communicated to the Apostles be again restored to the Church which being restored shall be again produced when that time shall come Quest. 80. Shall not Babylon that great City fall suddenly after the P●omulgation of the Gospel in all Nations in the order and manner described by the Prophe● Iohn ch 14. where he first speaks of the 144000● s●anding with the Lamb upon Mount Sion Secondly of the general Publication of the Gospel to all Nation and thirdly and lastly of the Fall of Babylon Quest. 81. Is not the first Resurrection of all the Saints and that happy and glorious Sabbath which they shall enjoy upon Earth after the first Resurrection clearl● pointed out Chapter 1● Verse 1● Blessed are the Dead that die in the Lord from henceforth saith the Spirit that they rest from their Lab●urs and their Works follow them And why doth he say from henceforth but to intimate to us that excellent Sabbath of the Saints for altho' the Saints are perpetually blessed and do rest in Christ after Death yet is not some peculiar degree of Felicity intended in these words viz. That most noble and excellent Sabbath which the Saints shall enjoy in the Millennium Quest. 82. What signifies the reaping of the Earth and the gathering together of the Grapes of the Vineyards of the Earth Are not the fearful and terrible Judgments of God upon the unbelieving and disobedient to be understood by it after God shall have bountifully rewa●ded his faithf●l Servants Quest. 83. How are those Words to be understood Chap. 14.20 And the Wine-press was trodden without the City● and Blood came ●ut of the Wine-press even unto the H●rses Bridles● by the space of a th●usand and six hundred Furlongs Doth not this belong to the time of the Ba●●le of Armageddon under the seventh 〈◊〉 when Gog and Magog or the Ungodly 〈◊〉 ●ll ●orts shall joyn themselves in g●eat A●mi●● against God's People who follow the ●amb but at this time more especiall● against the Iews and Israelites now inhabiting their own Land Of which Bat●le see Ez●kiel ch 38 v. ●1 12. CHAP. XV. QU●st 84. To what Interval or space of time belongs the Vision of the seven * The seven Angels with their seven Phials belonging to the seventh Trumpe● Angels pouring out their seven Phials of Divine Wrath Do they not seem manifestly to belong to the time of the seventh Trumpet to wit from the Year of Christ's Resurrection 1740 to the Year 2000 For those Phials are said to contain the seven last Plagues and in them is the Divine Wrath fulfilled And therefore will they not belong to the seventh Trumpet which contains Horrible and Tremendous Plagues And finally before any of these Phials shall be poured fourth the Temple of God will be opened in Heaven and all such as have obtained Victory over the Beast and his Image and over the Mark and Number of his Name viz. after the expiration of 1666 years since the Death of Christ shall stand upon the Glassy Sea which is mixt with Fire Singing the Song of Moses and the Lamb and Prophesying of almost a general Conversion of the Nations And doth not this opening of the Temple belong to the beginning of the Interval of the Philadelphian Church And certainly if we well consider how great power the Antichristian Kingdom has had in the World to this very day it seems an Argument strong enough to conclude that no Phials have been as yet poured out Quest. 85. Who are those whom Iohn saw standing upon the Sea of Glass mingled with Fire having obtained Victory over the Beast and over his Image Mark and

Millenium that shou'd not dye but be changed 9. It appears also that when the Millenium is finished Gog and Magog shall gather themselves together against the Saints to slay them which certainly they cou'd never attempt to do if they did not live in a Body of Flesh. 10. This is more largely con●●●●'d i● that the Saints even until 260 years after the beginning of the Millenium shall marry and propagate Children for the State of Matrimony and procreation of Children is not beneath the dignity of the future Millenium for Ad●m in his Paradisical State before the fall had a Wife and tho' he had not sinned wou'd have known his Wife and have begotten Children 11. But that the Saints do for some time in the aforesaid Millenium contract Matrimony and beget Sons and Daughters appears from Isaiah Chap. 65. where the Inhabitants of this of this New Heaven and new Earth are pr●mised that they shall build Houses and in●●●ite them plant Vineyards and ear the F●●●t of them they shall not labour in vain ●or bring forth in fear for they are th● Seed of the Blessed of the Lord and their Off-spring with them yea in the same Chapter 't is affirm'd of the Sinners who shall live in the Millenium that they shall live to an hundred Years nor shall any die in Infancy and the days of the Saints shall b● as the days of the Tree of Life for so hereto●ore that place was read by the Fathers that is they shall live a thousand Years and then shall not die but ascend into Heaven in a Body changed which Adam would have done if he had not sinned 12. Now that new Heaven which will be c●ea●ed in the future Millenium will be only new in respect of their excellent natures 13. Ioseph's Bl●ssing by his Fa●her Iacob which belongs to the said Millenium clearly demonst●ates th●t they should marry and beget and bring up Children Gen. 49 2● 26. For among ●●her Blessings which he had he wa● also blessed with the Blessings of the B●easts ●nd the Womb which have a respect to Wives and Mothers whose Blessings also oug●t to reach to the utm●st bounds of the everlasting Hills viz. to the second Resurrection when this Body of Flesh shall be changed into a Spiritual Body and being thus changed shall ascend into the everlasting Hills that is into the highest Heavens 14. Therefore those Words of Christ that in the Resurrection of the Dead they do not marry nor are given in Marriage but are equal to the Angels are to be understood of the second Resurrection but not of the first because certainly in th● first Resurrection they shall not be equal to to the Angels but as Adam was in Paradise before the Fall 15. And hitherto may be referred those wo●ds of the book of Wisdom 3.43 Blessed is the Barr●n and Und●fil●d who hath not known the Sinful Bed for she shall have Fruit in the Visitation of Souls 16. Now all the Sons Daughte●s of the Saints in the future Millenium are the Souls of all the Saints that ever have liv'd in a carnal Body since the beginning of the World and finally raised up to Life in a ●ody of Flesh and bo●n of Fathers and Mothers into the Wo●ld for none shall enjoy the Reward and Blessedness of the ●uture Millenium but such who have lived an holy Life on Ea●th from the beg●nning of the World Moreover Christ called this Resurrection of the Saints unto Life regeneration 17. And therefore all Saints that enjoy the Millenium shall then be born into the World in a carnal Body and shall have Fathers and Mothers according to the Flesh. 18. Nor will this seem strange or incredible to any one after it is clearly demonstrated from Scripture that we have all lived several times in a Body of Flesh yea for many years and Ages of years 19. This Truth being once demonstrated and granted in a manner all the Mysteries and things dif●icult to be apprehended of the future Millenium will be most easily understood for the Ignorance of the Souls being born again and returning to Life in a body of Flesh hath mightily obscur'd the Mystery of the future Millenium and in a manner all other Mysteries of the whole Christian Religion which indeed when the said new Birth or carnal Regeneration is demonstrated will display themselves and appear with a wonderful sweetness facility and evidenc● of Truth 20. First therefore it shall be demonstrated by certain Arguments drawn from Scripture that the same Souls after the death of the carnal Body were again raised to Life and born of Parents in a Body of Flesh. 21. First this is proved from the express Words of Christ himself who called Iohn Baptist Elias yea affirmed him to be Elias himself Matth. 11. Mark 9.12 and declared him also to be the same that was to come But that where Iohn denied that he was Elias is to be understood of the Mystery of 1045 Years couch't under the name of Eliah which also signifies the strong and mighty God for that Dispensation or Ministration of Iohn answers not to to the name of Elias but the name of Iohn which signifies Grace but when he shall be born again into the World that Dispensation will most excellently suit with the name of Eliah 22. Secondly 'T is proved from that passage of St. Paul to the Romans where discoursing of the unbelieving Iews he affirms that they shall after many Ages believe in Christ and finally be reunited to their natural Root but the force of the Argument concludes in behalf of those Souls who were unbelieving in the Apos●les days which after certain Ages were to believe in Christ after the fullness of the G●ntiles was converted to the Christian Faith which Conversion of the Iews we yet expect 〈◊〉 Earth even of those who were unbelieving in the Apostles days for all the Iews which are natural Branches shall be saved and their Hearts shall be opened and that too before the beginning of the Millenium 23. Thirdly 'T is proved from Matth. 23.35 compared with the 2 Chron. 24.22 where Christ a●●irms that those very Iews who were contemporary with him in the Flesh had kill'd Zacharias the Son of Baruch c. But this Wickedness was committed in the days of King Ioas more than eighty Years before Christ's Incarnation * See Matth. 21.35 c. compare here-wit● 2 Chron. 24.22 But if any should affirm that this was not their own but their fo●e-Father's Crime and imputed to them because they were led by the same Spirit of Iniquity and Impiety I answer This cannot destroy the force of the Argument because according to the R●ghteous Ordinance of God the Sins of the Fathers are not imputed to the Children beyond the third or fourth Generation even when the Children are led by the same Spirit and follow the same steps of their Fathers But be●cause many Generations have interven'd between that Wickedness and the

those who were afore ordain'd to Condemnation have wilfully committed Sin in their former Life when they liv'd heretofore in former Ages wherefore the most just God hath sentenced them to such a Condemnation 54. Proof 34. For the Apostle Peter 2. Epist Chap. 2. v 3● writeth of certain false Teachers among the Christians whose Judgment then of a long time lingred not what then can be hereby intended but that they committed such Crimes●●●r a long time pas● or in ●o●mer Ages whilst they lived for which God condemned them to that punishment Besides also he does not darkly hint that the same ●alse Teachers among the Christians were he●etofore false Prophets among the People● see Verse 1. which Judgments of God against them i● they had believed in Christ would nevertheless have been cancell'd and blotted ou● for Christ dyed for them also and redeem'd them with his Blood that they might believe and be saved● and because they did not believe in Christ under the former Sentence brought against them therefore it is confirmed de novo or a new 55. Proof 35. God speaking to Abraham of the Amorites said their Iniquity was not as yet to be fulfilled till after 400 Years but because those Amorites were not to live so many years in the Flesh no not one half of those years it evidently ●ollows that they were to be raised up again to Life in a Body of Flesh before the 400 years were compleated that they might ●ul●ill their Iniquity and this wonderfully agrees with the number of 33● years within which compass for that Man's Life is so abbreviated the same Souls shall be newly raised up to L●●e as the following Table dem●nstrates to which 3●3 ●ears if 67 be added they make up the number of 400 or if 97 be added it makes us 430 which number of 67 or 97 was to be allotted to that People that in the succeeding Life they might 〈…〉 their Iniqui●y Moreover the same Amorites cou'd have liv'd twice before this since the Flood and therefore the third time of Life seem'd to have been necessary according to the order of Divine Justice before that they cou'd have fulfilled their Iniquity for which they should deserv● to be erradicated out of the Earth 56. 'T is prov'd 36. Because Salvation and ete●nal Life is the Fruit of good Works which Men sow in the Earth or in an ea●thly Body and therefore those that dye in infancy especially if they have not lived before in a Body of Flesh to ripeness of years must be raised up to Life again that they may grow to maturity and have opport●●ity to sow the Seeds of good Works in the Life of a carnal Body that they may at last rejoyce in the Fruits of their Labour for except our Happiness were the Fruits of our own Work and Labour it were not real and true Happiness nor shou'd we have true Joy therein for it would be like the Son of a strange Mother whom no Mother loves as she doth her own Son 57. 'T is proved 37. Because otherwise the Doctrine of God's Universal Grace and Love cou'd not be establish'd or defended for certainly we find not a few who from their Infancy are so harden'd and buried in Sin that all the time of this present Life they seem wholly uncapable of Repentance 58. 'T is proved 38. Because the Apostle Rom. 1● writeth that many of the Iews were blinded according to the Prophesies of Scripture for many Ages that they cou'd not believe till the fulness of the Gentiles were gather`d unto Chri●t and then they who were formerly blinded were to be again illuminated when they should return again into the World 59. 'T is proved 39. Because in Christ's Parable of the Figg-Tree that bore no Fruit for three Years this very thing is clearly hinted Luke 13.6 7 8 9. For what is to be understood by those three yea●s but three thousand years for every Millenium is mystically signified by one year under the Law and therefore the Seventh Millenium of the World which is the Sabbath was signified by the seventh year and by the Figg-tree that bore no Fruit for those three thousand years many of the Iews are to be unders●ood who had lived d●vers ti●es on Earth from the beginning 〈◊〉 the World and yet bore no Fruit but in the fourth Millenium the Husband-man inte●cedes for the barren Figg-Tree and applies Dung to the Roots thereof that is dieth for the Sins of the Iews and applies the abundant Grace of his holy Spirit to them that they might bring forth good Fruit And therefore the Patience and Long-suffering of God suffers all Men 4 Years that is 4000 Years whereof they live 1000 Years by parts in an Earthly Body that they might at length repent 60. 'T is proved 40. Because Iohn the Baptist provokes the Iews to Repentance by this Argument And now is the Ax laid to the Root of the Trees Matth. 3.10 Therefore every Tree that brings not forth good Fruit shall be hewen down and cast into the Fire Now why did he say and now the Ax is laid to the Root of the Trees Certainly because that time of Life was the last Revolution and the last Hour with a great many of the Iews signifying by these Words if the Iews did not then repent whilst they lived in a Body of Flesh that there was no Hope for them to be raised up to Life in the days of the Messias and to be call'd to Repentance for that was the last time wi●●● great many that they should have and none could know whether he should have any ot●er time to live in the da●s of the M●ssi●h and therefore he truly s●id the 〈◊〉 is laid to the Root of the Tr●es to wit of a g●eat man● But such whose twelve Hours of Revolutions were not yet elapsed might indeed in regard they were to live again in the Flesh a●ter six or seven Generations as from a Root le●● in the Earth not as yet cut off sprout and put ●orth as it were new Branches in the Ear●h 61. This is proved 41. In that the rich Man who was tormented in Hell knew that he should at length depart out of the place and ●e born again into the World which is plainly hinted in the●e words● for he had five Brethren whom he would not have come into that place and there●ore he desired some Body to be sent from the D●ad to call them to Repentance To what ●urpos● then should he take so great care of his Brethren Did he not look at his own Interest therein Yes doubtless for he k●ew that he himself after six or seven G●n●rations should be born of one of the Sons of thos● his Brethren whom therefore he desir●d to be good that he himself might then have an opportunity to become so after he was born of good Parents into the World 62. 'T is prov'd 42. Because after Christ's Resurrection from the Dead and Ascension into Heaven all

that it shall not rain upon the the Earth and to turn the Waters into Blood both which were in old time imputed to the said Prophets Moses turn'd the Waters into Blood and Elias had power over the Rain therefore when those Prophets shall come into the World they shall likewise produce these Signs and Miracles litterally understood 116. And indeed that Moses was not to live on Earth in the future Millenium seems to be clearly figur'd from hence that he should not ent●r the Land of Promise but die in the Land of Moab of whom nevertheless it was said when he died that his Eye was not darkned nor his strength o● Nature impaired And altho ' God seem'd to exclude Moses from entring into the Land of Promise because he spake unadvisedly at the Waters of Meribah and so was thus chastised for it yet God out of his infinite Goodness and Mercy did transfer that Chastisement into a greater Favour and Blessing to him 117. Then as touching Abraham Isaac and Iacob they indeed did s●arce posse●s that Land of Promise but only conversed therein ●or a little time as Strangers and Pilgrims for that Land was rather promised to their Seed than to the Fathers themselves See Deut. 34.4 which also was a Figure of this My●tery that neither Abraham Isaac n●r Iacob sho●ld dwell on Earth in the Millenium but during the Millenium should remain together in Heaven 118. It remains now that we produce certain promises and Prophesies and other Testimonies of the Holy Ghost out of the Scrip●ures whereby may be prov'd that all the Saints shall be yet placed upon the Earth viz. in the Millenium to live together a most Holy and Bles●ed Life except those three extraordinary Men who instead of that reward on Earth obtain a more worthy and excellent Reward in Heaven The places of Scripture both of the Old and New Testament are these following Exod. 20.12 Honour thy Father and thy Mother that thy Days may be long in the Land which the Lord thy God giveth thee Which promise Paul applies to the Gospel Eph. 6.2 Numb 14.12 The whole Earth shall be fill'd with the Glory of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Jehovah Deut. 32.39 See now that I even I am he and there is no God with me I kill and I make alive I wound and I heal c. v. 43. Rei●yce O ye Nations with his People for he will revenge the Blood of his Servants and render Vengeance to his Adversaries and will be merciful to his Land and to his People Moreover in the second Book of Samuel chap. 23. ver 3 4 5 6 7. There is extant a famous Prophesie of the Kingdom of Christ to come in the end of the World and the destruction of the Kingdom of the Ungodly Likewise Iob hath attested his Belief that he hoped he should be rais'd up in the last day to live again in the Flesh ch 19.26 He likewise affirmed that he should enter naked into his Mother's Womb as he came naked out ch 1.21 But the Book of Psalms contains many famous Prophesies of Christ's Kingdom before the end of the World See Psal. 1. 3 4 5.

Those seven Churches of As●a to whom St. Iohn wrote his Revelations do most certainly signifiy the seven Intervals of the Universal Church from the Death and Resurrection of Christ to the end of the World Now the Interval of Philadelphia whose Seeds is not only now in the World but her first Fruits also begins from the Year 1702 and continues to the Year of Christ's Nativity 1777. At what time the Millenium shall begin for the promise of New Ierusalem on Earth was chiefly exhibited to the Church of Philadelphia lastly the Millenium being almost expi●'d follows the Interval of the Church of Laodicea but this Church belongs not to the Saints of New-Ierusalem but is of another Order and of a different kind who will have the profession of the Christian Religion but without sincerity And because God hath invited them to Repentance 't is possible they may Repent and yet for all that not enjoy the Millenial Happiness nor the Resurrection of the Just in this World But their Salvation and Happiness will be deferred to the next succeding World But those that do not Repent will be cast into Hell Fire with other Wicked and ungodly Men where they shall suffer most Tremenduous and Inexpre●sible Torments at least for the space of 7000 Years And they are such whose Sins Christ said should neither be forgiven in this World nor that which is to come Certain Annotati●ns to be Added 1 Because the number of the Beast Revel 13. is said to be 666 and is called the number of a Man this very well agrees with what has been said before for every Face contains 333 Years and because

the Saints shall be born of Virgins or whether as God formed Adam out of the Clay of the Earth or any other way suitable to the Majesty of the thing is a matter highly worthy to be explained if there be any to whom God shall reveal it Quest. 102. Do not the two last Chapters of the Revelations contain a Description of that most splendid and glorious State of the Saints or Church of God during the whole Interval or space of the Millennium even unto the end of the World Quest. 103. Shall th●re not new Heavens and a new Earth be made and prepared at the beginning of the Millennium Chap. 21.1 Isaiah 65.17.66.2 and 2 Pet. 3.13 And how shall this first Heaven and first Earth pass away Shall they be reduced to nothing or rather shall not the first or old Heaven and Earth alter their nature and quality and so be changed into new And whereas Peter said that Justice shall dwell in this new Earth doth not this sufficiently intimate that Righteous M●n shall inhabit the same ●or both he and all the Saints expected this new Earth Quest. 104. Shall not there remain some Seed of Sinners in the time of the ●uture Millennium as appe●rs from Isaiah ch 65. v. 20 25. and out of that remaining Seed of Sinners will not the Armies of Gog a●d Magog be multiplied after the end of the Millennium And shall not these Sinners during the whole Millennium be totally subject to the Saints Quest. 105. Shall the Conflagration of the World be made at once or by parts of which see 2 Pet. 8. v. 10. Isa. 66. v. 15 16. Mal. 4. v. 1. And finally will it destroy all or for the most part only Sinners and will not certain Sinners escape the Flames whilst Babylon shall be totally destroyed and exterminated even as in Noah's Ark Ham and his Wife were preserved from the Flood as well as the Righteous from whom afterwards sprang the worst sort of Sinners Quest. 106. Will there not be found two sorts of Saints living upon Earth within the Interval of the sixth Seal viz. from the year of Christ's Resurrection 1666 to the year 2000. One whereof hath attained to the first Resurrection the other hath not as yet obtained it but hath an infallible Hope and Assurance after Death to obtain the same also within the time aforesaid And are not the words of Isaiah to be understood of the latter Isa. 65. v. 20. He that dies at an hundred years of age dies in Youth or Childhood but such shall die as Moses dy'd whose Eye was not darkened nor his natural Strength diminished when he died Deut. 3● v. 7. For Moses did not die by reason of any Sickness or Decay of Strength but only to fulfil Divine Pleasure and will not also all the mortal Saints die after the same manner who have not as yet attained the first Resurrection that so by this way of dying they may obtain it Quest. 107. And will not the Children of the first Resurrection be in all respects the Children of God to wit both externally and internally as it were begotten of him their only Father And is not this clearly enough hinted to us in those words of Isa. 66. v. 9. Shall I be barren who give Generation to others saith the Lord as it is in the vulgar Translation Quest. 108. Do not those words of Revel 21.4 And there shall be no more Death nor Mourning nor Tears plainly intimate that the Saints who have obtained the first Resurrection shall never die any more neither internally nor externally but shall live during the whole Millennium a most Holy and a most Blessed Life on Earth but at the end of the Millennium to wit after all the Saints have lived compleatly a thousand Years on Earth shall they not be changed and ascend together to meet Christ in the Heavens even as Christ ascended into Heaven after his Resurrection And is not the Saints Life for a thousand Years apparently signified in these words Isa. 65. v. 22. which Iustin Martyr reads thus As are the days of the tree of Life so shall be the days of my People thereby signifying Man's return to that state of Holiness and Felicity wherein Adam stood before the Fall whilest he was permitted to Feed on the Tree of Life when as yet he knew not Death neither had yet tasted of the forbidden Fruit Quest. 109. How are those words to be understood Revel 21.1 And there was no more Sea Is Sea pu● here Allegorically for worldly Afflictions and Tribulations Or may it not also be understood of some outward Mediterranean Sea dividing as well the Islands one from another as other Continents of the Earth So as that all the dry Land may remain together in one place as it is probable it did before the Flood Quest. 110. Why is that Holy City of God said to come down from Heaven Revel 21. v. 2 Doth not this plainly in●imate that all the Saints whatsoever now in Heaven shall descend from Heaven in the time of the Millennium to live a most Divine and Heavenly Life on Earth during the space of a thousand Years As before was said that at last they may be fitted and prepared for greater Glory which they shall enjoy in Heaven after the 1000 Years are finished to all Ete●nity For God shall be with them and in them whilst they Live here so that they shall suffer no Injury or Damage in this their Descen● but be greater Gainers by it Quest. 111. Do not those Words Revel 21.6 7.

Quest. 112. Do not the twelve Doors or Gates of the Holy City whereon are inscribed the Names of the twelve Tribes of Israel clearly intimate that all the Gentiles who are true Believers shall be gathered together into one Body with the Faithful Israelites and all the Gentiles who are to be Saved will belong some to one and some to another of the twelve Tribes of Israel Quest. 113. And lastly do not the Names of the twelve Apostles inscribed upon the twelve Found●tions of this City signifie that this very City was gathered together and Built by the Doctrine and Ministry of Saints and Apostl●s And that the Apostles themselves were the chief Members and as it were the Foundations of it Christ remaining above all and in all the Principal Foundation and Chief Corner-stone Quest. 114. Why is thi● City said to be Square in the Form of a Cube and not of a G●obe Doth not this signifie the Stable Condition and S●ate of

That the Saints in t●e Resurrection shall be raised up in a successive order as Men are born into the World in a successive order is no wise probable and has no Ground from 1 Cor. 15.23 For the orde● there described as it ●ath relation to time is thus Christ the first Fruits afterward they that are Christ's at his coming then cometh the end when the unjust shall be raised at the end but order may also relat● to the several degrees of Glory that the Saints shall have some above others according to their higher attainments in Holiness For as one Star differeth from another Star in Glory so is also the Resurrection of the Dead 1 Cor. 15.41 42. Page 170. Emend and Expli● It is noted above at p●g 109 that the half Hour's Silence may be referred to that time of great Peace and Quiet that the Church shall enjoy from the year of Christ's Birth 1700 to the year 1770 though if it be referred to that time of Peace from Christ's Resurr●ction to the year 180 following it maketh no considerable Alteration in the Chronology or order of things but the great Peace and Flourishing of the Church f●om about the year 1700 to 1770 co●taining 70 Years the number of the Years of the Desolation and Devastation of the ●a●se Church mystically designed by Cyrus Isaiah 23.15 as elsewhere by Babyl●n seemeth to suite best with the half Hours silence and then that space of 180 Years from Ch●●st's Resurrection before the first Trumpet sound shall signifie the time of the seven Ang●ls preparing t●●ms●lves to sound Rev. 8.6 Page 181. l. 7. for 1574 read 1774.

Whereas the Author in this place r●ferreth the times of the seven Vials to the seventh Trumpet viz. from the year of Christ's Resurrection 1740 to the year ●●00 ●hich some may judge a probable H●p●th●sis the same Author in some of his Manuscripts hath set down ●nother probable Hypoth●●is to which he seemeth most inclined viz. That the tim●s of the seven Vials belong to the last 70 Years of the sixth Trumpet the first Vial beginning at the y●ar of Christ's Birth 1700 allowing to each Vial ten Years succ●ssively to the last according to which r●ckoning the Papal Hi●rarchy and pe●haps Rome it self signified by the Throne or Seat of the Beast shall be destroyed by the pouring of the fifth Vial about the year of Christ's Birth 1750. but which of these two Hypotheses is nearest to the Truth seeing the Author pretends not to a Spirit of Prophecy in the case Time and Event will determine Page 206. See the former Emendation See also the Emendation P. 109. Page At Question 9● 99. Emend The Saints Bodies in the first Resurrection and Adam's Body before the Fall do most resemble the Body of Christ as it appeared at the Transfiguration before his Death which was indeed glori●us a●d so will the Saints Bodies appear in the first Resurrection● so that in respect of our gross Bodies they may be said to be Spiritual yet capable of a far higher degree of Spirituality at the last Page At Questi●n 101. See this Question answered in the Emendations in the first Treatise● ad P. 110. Page At Quest● 106 107. Explic. It is clear from Scripture that the mortal Bodies of the Saints after the Thous●nd Years begin shall not die as M●n now die so as to need any Burial but they shall be changed in a moment when duly sitted for that Change according to 1 Cor. 15.51 52. Page At Quest. 1●8 ●xplic It is no● to be und●rs●ood● that the raised Saints living on Earth in the Thousand Years shall need or use any of the Meats o● Drinks or other Re●reshments a●d Conveniences that this material or visible Earth affordeth but they shall live rather above the Earth than on it for then shall the Paradisiacal Earth be revealed and given to them to live in that was given to Adam to live in which since the Fall h●th been hid but shall then be opened which is most properly that new Earth that is called new because it never waxeth old as for the same reason the new Heavens are s● called whereas the visible Heavens and Earth grow old and shall be changed Page At Quest. 186.
