Whereupon begun the Grecian Monarchy upon the speedy conquest of Alexander the Great which held according to the said Author 280. years reaching to the year of the world 3900 when began the Roman of the Iron Legs with Feet and Toes of Iron and Clay which last denoted the state thereof in the Popes time which Roman Empire began about 47. years before Christs birth who was born saith the same Author the 3947. year of the world But thirdly From Christs Nativity the account is more certain 1. The Dragons casting down when Constantine the Great set up the Christian Religion in the room of Heathenish Idolatry in the Roman Empire about the year of Christ 312. or 320. as some conceive and from thence to the beginning of the date of the Beast Vide Excid Antichrist whilest the Barbarous Nations broke in pieces the Western Empire about 80. years or more when soon after the beginning of the fourth Century it is conceived the twofold Beasts 42. mouths Rev. 13. began together with the 10. Crowned Horns at one hour Rev. 17. both in the Western Empire But in the East about the 600. year of Christ the Saracens pushed at the Roman Empire in the East as was foretold Dan. 11.40 called there the King of the South And about the year 1300. the King of the North the Turk overflowed all with his multitudes and though Edom Moab and Ammon escaped in Arabia Petrea being a great shelter to the Jews v. 41. as Mr. Mede observes yet though Egypt long by the Mamalacks held out they were at last subdued and at his steps as ver 42 43. about the year of Christ 1517. and that only remains to the Turk to hear tidings to trouble him out of the East probably from the Jews seeking to get their own Country and out of the North which happily may be of the Israelites from Assyria lying North of Judea upon the like design whom in rage the Turk will go to resist in the glorious holy mountain but he shall certainly come to his end and none shall help him ver 44 45. to be executed about the sounding of the seventh trumpet Rev. 11.15 But as for the Pope's 42. months the same time with the Womans time times and half a time in her wilderness condition and with the two witnesses Rev. 11. their 1260. days of years their beginning with his is reckoned about the 406. year of Christ or 110. as some conceive In his viz. the Popes or Beasts said date there are considerable 1. His rise 2. His reign 3. His ruin 1. His rise to the great darkness of Popery towards the 11. Century till the Berengarians and Waldenses discovered him above 600. years 2. His reign whilst he prevailed in his Wars and Massacres against the Waldensian Germane and French Churches above 400. years more 3. The time of his ruin since he hath begun to fall by the hand of God according to his word and though he hath been killing the witnesses for considerable time successively yet at last by killing the finishing witnesses after 3. days of years and an half they rising his great ruin comes on eminently to be finished at the pouring out of the vial of the seventh Angel Whereupon ensueth the glorious Kingdom of Christ reigning eminently with his Saints on earth the thousand years The PREFACE Containing many instances whereby it hath appeared how backward many if not the most of Gods people have been to beleive the accomplishment of the great things that have been promised by God and for long time beleived and expected by his people till near the time of their accomplishment all which notwithstand God hath fulfilled both in the Old and New Testament as is still likely so to be in the great things remaining hereafter to done for the true invisible Church till the mystery of God shall be finished With an intimation how wily and watchful Satan hath been is and it may be expected in these things remaining he will still be more so in opposing and perverting the Doctrine of Christs Reign approaching as knowing that thereby his own Dominion will be utterly cast down THE PREFACE To my late well known and well approved Friends and Brethren B. D. F. K. N. S. T. A. P. I. O. C. increase of faith truth and consolation from him that sits upon the throne from the Lamb that was slain and from the seven spirits before the throne Amen My well beloved Brethren in the Lord IT hath all along seemed remarkable that in the great Revolutions of Divine Providence when great things have been drawing on to be acted for the good of Gods Church though they have been foretold and promised yet at the time of their accomplishment they have been usually by many of God people little expected if not gainsay'd and opposed by most When the 430. years preceding Israels return out of Egypt which God had foreshewed to Abraham were towards their expiration the Israelites would not take notice that God would by the hand of Moses deliver them and even when the time was almost fully come that God should deliver them out of that Egyptian bondage so long as Pharaoh was able to resist they were frequently out of heart and complained against Moses and Aaron and yet upon the self same day from the promise to Abraham wherein the said 430. years were expired the Children of Israel were actually delivered Exod. 12.41 And after that all the while they were in the Wilderness how often upon how many occasions did the most of them turn back in their hearts as the Psalmist speaketh into Egypt and by their renewed rebellion so provoked God that he sware in his wrath against that generation that they
fifth Petition Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors When Gods people are most ascertained that they shall attain the end of this Petition they will most comfortably and confidently pray according to the tenour of it But in the time of Christs reign on earth they shall be most ascertained that they shall attain the end of this Petition Therefore They shall then most comfortably and confidently pray according to the tenour of it Now this Petition hath a double respect First to the obtaining of the assurance of their own pardon Secondly to engage them to pardon others and both these ends will then be most promoted First their eminent measure of faith and love zeal and sincerity c. will upon their prayer of truth assure them of their own pardon And secondly the exercise of divers of their graces besides obedience to Gods command which requires them to do so will engage them likewise to forgive others Argument from the sixth Petition Lord lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil Gods faithful people may then best pray for their deliverance from the evil one and from the evil of his temptations when they know most assuredly by the world that they are for along time removed from them But in the said Thousand years they shall most evidently know from the word that the evil one and the evil of his temptations are so removed from them Therefore They shall then best pray for such their deliverance both from the evil one and the evil of his temptations Yea● their prayer in truth or sincerity will be then both a means of their deliverance and of the assurance thereof as being Gods ordinance for his Church to that end Argument from the enforcement For thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory c. The consideration of these enforcements will then be most vigorous and strong unto the Saints when they are assured from the word that there is such a time wherein God will most evidently and fully manifest them unto good and bad on earth at the time of his next coming But he will most evidently and fully manifest them unto good and bad upon earth according to the word Therefore The consideration thereof gives the greatest enforcement and vigour then unto the prayers of the Saints or in reference to that time Arguments from four Articles of the Creed First From thence shall he come to judge the quick and the dead Secondly I believe the holy Catholique Church Thirdly I believe the Communion of Saints Fourthly The Resurrection of the body of the righteous Argument from the Article From thence shall he come to judge the quick and the dead Arg. 1 THose that rightly believe that Christ will come from the right hand of the Father to judge both the quick and the dead they must believe he will do it in same time the Scripture teacheth it But the Scripture teacheth that he will do this after the seventh Trumpet at the beginning of the thousand years Rev. 11. Rev. 19. Rev. 20. Therefore They that believe it rightly must believe he will then do it Arg. 2 They that rightly believe Christ will come from the right-hand of the Father to judge the quick and the dead they must believe he will do it in the same order that the Scripture hath set it down But the Scripture hath set down Christ appearance or first coming of Christ to judgment at the beginning of the said thousand years Therefore They that deny his first coming then to judgment deny it in that order the Scripture hath set it down in Besides the manner of his proceeding is different at the first and second coming of Christ to judgment At the first he will begin with the Temporal destruction of his enemies First with fine and sword so taking away those Tares by Bundles and then cast them into Hell and then the Angels shall gather the Wheat into his Barn Matth 13. But at his last coming he will first gather the good the dead in Christ shall rise first and the raised before and the quick living upon earth at the voice of an Archangel and the trump of God shall be all changed in a moment in the twinkling of an eye and be caught up to meet Christ in the Ayr and so being freed from the destruction of the wicked they shall be ever with the Lord 1 Cor. 15.2 Pet. 3.10 when the Heavens shall pass away as a seroll and the Elements melt with fervent heat and the earth with the works thereon shall be burnt up as the Scriptures witness after the thosand years is past Argument from the beleif of the Holy Catholique Church Such as rightly believe that they are essential properties of the Church of Christ to be holy and Catholique ought to believe it to be such in reference to those times chiefly wherein Gods word declares it shall be chiefly such But in the said thousand years his word declares it shall be cheifly such Therefore They that rightly believe those properties must then according to Gods Word cheifly beleive it to besuch The Pseud-Holy and Pseud-Catholique Harlot of Rome hath long falsly assumed those properties to her self all that time the Scripture hath foretold the world should wonder after the beast Rev. 13. The seducer knowing that they belong to the true Church hath so ascribed them to the false Church that the true holy Catholique Church might not be expected But that hereafter in the said thousand years the Church of Christ will be holy above all former times the Scriptures abundantly shew as before is set down and much more follows And secondly that it shall then be most Catholique from East to West from Sea to Sea from one end of the world to the other there are also plentiful Testimonies which never yet were fulfilled Argument from the beleif of the Communion of Saints They that beleive the Communion of Saints aright must beleive it in that manner and in that time the Scripture sets it forth on earth But the Scripture sets it forth most eminently in the said thousand years to come Therefore according to Scripture they must beleive it will then be most eminent upon earth They will then be of one heart and one way the Lord one and his name one Ephraim shall not envy Judah nor Judah vex Ephraim Argument from the Resurrection of the body Such as rightly beleive the resurrection of the bodies of the just must believe it in the same time and order the Scripture of true had set it down But the Scripture of true sets down the beginning of the resurrection of the just to be at the beginning of the thousand years of Christs reign on earth first the Martyrs and eminent Saints and then every one in his own order Therefore they that rightly beleive the resurrection of the Saints bodies must so then beleive it Argument from the Article of the Nicene Creed He shall come again
