signified and indeed those who are joyned unto true Christians by the bond of the name Christian as the Moabites were joyned to the Iews by the bond of Consanguinity whom notwithstanding they persecuted with most hostible mindes and affections The 19 pl●ce is Isai. 26.1 2 3 4 5. where part of that song is set down wherewith the Iews were to praise God for their deliverance from the Babylonian Captivity wherewith the Christians also were to praise him for their deliverance from the Tyranny of Antichrist as may be gathered from the comparing of Revel. 14.8 and chap. 18.2 with the 5 and 6 verses of this Chapter The 20 place is Isai. 27. That this Chapter doth treat of the Conversion of the Iews this may serve for a most certain Argument because the Apostle alleadgeth some part of the 9 verse Rom. 11.27 consider also diligently the two last verses The 21 is Isai. 33.20 21 22 23 24. Where the City it self Hierusalem so commonly called cannot be understood by reason that after this Prophesie it was overthrown by the Romans Therefore the Church of the New Testament is signified which every where in the Prophesies of Isaiah is mystically and typically or metaphorically called Hierusalem Now the things prophesied concerning it are Peace Defence against enemies and Victory All which have not yet happened and therefore certainly shall The 22 place is Isai. 34. from the 1 to the 18 verse Where you may collect that a Prophesie is here contained of the overthrow of the enemies of the New Testament by comparing the 4 verse with Revel. 6.14 and the tenth verse with Revel. 19 3. and the 11 verse with Revel. 18.2 Now by the Edomites the false brethren of true Christians are set forth and by Bozrah the chief City of Edom Rome the chief City of Antichrist is figured out whose ruine is most feelingly described in the 10 11 12 13 14 15 17 verses The 23 place is Isai. 43. the whole Chapter The discourse whereof is concerning the conversion of the Iews Especially consider the 5 and 6 verses I will bring thy seed from the East and gather thee from the West I will say to the NORTH Give up and to the South Keep not back Bring my sons from farre and my daughters from the ends of the earth The 24 place is Isai. 45.22 and 25. Look unto me and be ye saved all the ends of the earth 25. In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified and shall glory This is spoken of the Universall vocation of the Gentiles and Iews which two things have not yet come about The 25 is Isai. 49.24 25 26. Which words agree with the foregoing Prophesie of the calling of the Gentiles from the 18 ver. and therefore are to be interpreted of the Church under the Gospel which complains of the power of her persecutors ver 24. and is strengthned again by Christ with promise of deliverance verse 25. and with threats of the ruine of those which persecuted her ver. 26. Compare Revel. 16.6 The 26 place is Isai. 54.14 15 16 17. That this Prophesie doth speak of the Church of the New Testament is from hence made plain by reason that in this chapter a Prophesie is contained concerning those benefits which God would bestow upon the faithfull under the Gospel whereto it makes also That Christ Ioh. 6.45 alleadgeth the first part of the 13 verse Now in this place of the Prophet cited by us is contained a Prediction of the defence of the Christian Church against enemies which is not yet fulfilled The 27 place is Isai. 59.16 17 18 19 20 21 That here also is contained a Prophesie of the Church under the Gospel appears by comparing the 16 verse with chap. 63.5 as also the 20 verse with Rom. 11.26 Now there are three members of this Prophesie One of the destruction of the enemies of the Church which shall happen before the conversion of the Iews vers. 16 17 18 19. Another of the Majesty or glory which shall accrew to the Church by the ruine of her adversaries vers. 19. When the enemy shall come in like a flood the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a Standard against him The third is of the conversion of the Iews vers. 20 21. The 28 place is Isai. 60. Which whole chapter treats of the happinesse which is yet to accrew to the Church of the Gospel as will appear to them that consider of it The 29 place is Isai. 63. the first six verses It will be made plain to any one that this Prophesie doth speak of the deliverance of the Church of the New Testament from the ministers and followers of Antichrist if he do but compare it with Revel. 14 19 20. and chap. 19.13 and 15. Who are signified by the Edomites and Bozrab appears by looking back to the 22 place The 30 place is Ierem. 16.14 to the end This Prophesie discourseth of the conversion of the Iews ver. 15. The Lord liveth that brought up the Children of Israel from the Land of the NORTH and from all the Lands whither he had driven them and I will bring them again into their Land which I gave to their fathers Also concerning the vocation of the Gentiles ver. 19. The Gentiles shall come unto the● from the ends of the earth and shall say Surely our fathers have inherited lies vanity and things wherein there is no profit The 31 place is Ierem. 23.3 where the conversion of the Iews is treated of The 32 place is Ierem. 33. ver. 3. and the following For ● the dayes come saith the Lord that I will bring again the Captivity of my people Israel and Iudah And a little after But they shall serve the Lord their God and David their King or as the Chaldee Paraphrase hath it Christ the son of David their King Behold again a most sweet prophesie of the conversion of the Iews The 33 place is Ierem. 31.1 3. Where in like manner the conversion of the Jews is prophesied of See Heurnius in his Book formerly cited by us The 34 place is Ierem. 31.31 32 33 34. That a Prophesie concerning the Church of the Gospel is contained in this place may be perceived by the alleadging thereof in Matth. 3.18 and in the Epistle to the Hebrews chap. 8.8 Now the conversion of the Jews is there promised in as much as God promiseth the people of Israel that he would make a new Covenant with them by means of which he would forgive their sins and write his Law in their hearts Which conversion of the Jews is not yet brought to passe because since the Gospel began to be preached the greatest part of the Jews have continued in unbelief Wherefore it shall be brought to passe in it 's good time The 35 place is Ierem. 32.37 39. Behold I will gather them out of all Countries whither I have driven them in mine anger And I will give them one heart and one way that they may fear

〈◊〉 for ever Here again is promised the conversion of the Jews which alike belongs to the happy condition of the Church of the New Testament The 26 place is Ezek. 36.26 and the following Where the Prophet saith that it should come to passe That God would give them a new heart and put a new spirit within them By which words no doubt the conversion of the Jews is signified ● which having not been it remains it shall be The 37 place is Dan. 11.33 34. And they that understand among the people shall instruct many yet they shall fall by the sword and by flame by captivity and by spoil many dayes Now when they shall fall they shall be ●olpen by a little help This Prophesie is to be understood according to the letter of the affliction and deliverance of the Church in the time of Antiochus and the Maccabees typically and mystically of the affliction and deliverance of the Church under Antichrist Which deliverance indeed is part of the happinesse of the Church under the Gospel Now that Antiochus was a type of Antichrist appears by comparing Dan. 11.36 and 2 Thess. 24. The 38 place is Dan. 11.44 45. But rumors out of the East and out of the North shall trouble him Therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy and utterly to make away many And he shall plant the Tabernacles of his Palace between the Seas in the glorious holy mountain yet he shall come to his end and no●e shall help him These three things are unfolded in this Prophesie 1. The Protasis or beginning of these tumults wherewith Iudea in old time and Europe at this day is most grievously afflicted 2. The Epitasis or busie part so wondrous full of troubles and contention 3. Lastly the Catastrophe or issue of these tumults so much desired and wished for by the Church How every one of these severally are fulfilled in Antiochus as a type of Antichrist it is nothing pertinent to our purpose to enquire Neither indeed is the matter so obscure or unknown Let us examine how they will suit with Antichrist The Protasis or first Act as they say is in these words At length rumors from the East and from the North shall trouble him The rumour from the East sounded loud in the year of Christ M. CCCC.LIII when Constantinople was taken also in the year M. CCCC.LXXXI when * Geduces the Bassa broke into Italy The same rumour was renewed when the House of Othoman having quite overthrown the Sultans power turned his Arms the second time upon Europe and taking a Belgrad● and the Island b Rhodes began to invade the Territories of the Latine Church This rumor from the East was followed with a rumor from the North in the yeer of Christ * M.D.XVII and so forward The Epitasis or busie part is in these Therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy and utterly to make away many And he shall plant the Tabernacles of his Palace between the Seas in the glorious holy mountain At this day Antichrist in the performance thereof goes on under full Sail wanting no favour of windes For after he was troubled with the rumor out of the North with great and high Spirit he assaulted all them who either began this rumour or since favoured it or do at this time any way cherish it Neither doth he slack in these his attempts for he hath destroyed and utterly made away with many of Gods people Moreover he hath planted the Tabernacles of his Palace between the Seas in the glorious holy mountain that is He hath propagated his Religion among those people who had a long time professed the purity of Religion But it is well that the Catastrophe or last act is not answerable to the Epitasis or middle part of the Tragedy This brave Planter in the midst of his Plantation will have some unlucky chance befall him For when he shall come to his end none shall help him On the sudden a tempest shall arise which shall bring shipwrack upon this bold Steers-man But see more of this in Conrodus Graserus his History of Antichrist The 39. place is Dan. 12.1 And at that time shall Michael stand up the great Prince which standeth for the children of thy people and there shall be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a Nation even to that same time and at that time thy people shall be delivered every one that shall be found Written in the book I interpret this prophesie of the last persecution or the warre of Gog and Magog which shall immediately go before the last Judgement I am perswaded hereto by these two Reasons 1. Because the time of this trouble is said to be such as hath not been * since there was a Nation Which Not● of time cannot agree with any persecution but that which was most grievous such as was that of Gog. 2. Because in the 2. verse of this Chapter after that time of trouble vers. 1. the Resurrection and the last Judgement are immediately treated of The 40 place is Dan. 12.11 12. And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away and the abomination that maketh desolate set up there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety dayes Blessed is he that waiteth and commeth to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty dayes Here these words But from the time c. are to be understood of the last destruction of the City Hierusalem by TITVS because then the daily sacrifice was taken away and the * abomination of desolation was set up as appears by comparing this place with the 9. chap. of Daniel vers. 26 27. Again propheticall dayes are here to be understood that is years Because these dayes are homogeneall or of the same kinde with the weeks chap. 9. But those weeks are propheticall therefore also these dayes Now Daniel carries us on to the end of the world by proposing two Periods or limited times of the New Testament and by joyning them to his seventy weeks in this manner The 70. weeks are terminated with the destruction of the City that is with the year of Christ 69. Here begins the Epocha or account of 1290 dayes that is of so many years So shall we come to the year of Christ a 1359. At which we must begin the Epo●●● of 1335 dayes or years And so we shall be brought to the y●●● of Christ b 2694. in which the Thousand years in the Revelation shall have end and they being ended the warre of Gog and Magog shall begin to which also the last Iudgement shall put an end See more in my Thesaurus Chronologicus pag. 51 c Compare also the Annotations of Lucas Osiander on Daniel 12. The 41 place is Hos● 1.11 Then shall the Children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together and appoint themselves as head and they shall come up out

raised and the dark miste of lyes being dispelled Then shall Satan be bound for a thousand years which must be expired before he scatter new errours through the world and by them seduce the Nations This this is the imprisonment this is the liberty or setting free of Satan In the same place upon vers. 2. But when began Satan to be bound In the year 1517. when the witnesses were raised From that time ALL people generally have not drunk any new poyson of heresie which might weaken or overturn their faith In the same place To 1517. adde 1000. years So you shall make 2517. at which time Satan shall again draw the Nations into abominable heresies In this Exposition of Cotterius the thousand years are rightly urged according to the letter But his Epocha or beginning of his account is not well placed in the year 1517. For then began onely the praeludium or proeme of this Millenary Iohn Piscator in his Commentary on the Revelations The happynesse of the faithfull who shall live upon earth after the downfall of the Papacy is their security from the hostile invasions of the wicked for 1000 years In the same place The singular happynesse of the Martyrs of Christ who before these thousand years indured persecution is their Resurrection which shall be before the generall Resurrection and their reign in Heaven with Christ for a thousand years before the Resurrection of the rest In this Exposition the literall interpretation is rightly urged But that he sayes the Martyrs shall reign with Christ in Heaven for those thousand years cannot be proved out of the Text Nay the contrary may thence be proved because the Resurrection of the Martyrs is part of the happinesse of the Church here on Earth Again The Kingdom which is limited by a certain number of years cannot suite well with eternall life See also Revel. 5.10 where the Saints in Heaven among other things sing thus And we shall reign upon the Earth But moreover the same Iohn Piscator maintains this opinion of the thousand years in his German translation of the Bible and a little before his death he wrote a short Treatise Of the future happinesse of the Church in this life Out of which I have made use of many things which I have transcribed into this Meditation for that Treatise of his hath not as yet seen the light Many Writers of the former and this present Age have published many things concerning Elias the Artist who is to come Of the Lion of the North who is neer at hand Of a fourth Northern Monarchy Of a great Reformation Of the Conversion of the Jews and the like See Theophrastus Paracelsus Michael Sendivogius in his Treatise of Sulphur Stephanus Pannonius Of the circle of the Works and Iudgements of God where among other things he writs thus Yet it shall come to passe that the pure Gospel of God shall be preached to the Americans before the end of the world Again Nothing is more sure then that the Reformation of the East and South drawing on some famous Emperour whose types Constantine and Theodosius both entitled Great were shall openly shew himself and granting liberty of Religion to them who professe the name of the Holy Trinity shall do some great matter in the world for the glory of God for the building up of the Church and for the downfall of Antichrist In the same place The Eastern Christians fired with the zeal of Christ shall make their way into Asia it self and provoke the Jews to jealousie Rom. 11. And the spirituall Babylon shall be a pray unto all Nations In the same place A refining of the Souldiers of God whereof there is mention Zach. 13.8 that is temptations and tryalls shall go before this Reformation that the light of God may arise out of the Crosse of Christ This Treatise was published in the year 1608. Iohn Dobricius also in the year 1612. did set forth a notable book entitled {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} that is The Interpreter of times wherein both out of the Holy Scripture and from the new Star which appeared in the year * DC.IV. and the great Conjunction of the Planets many things are discoursed of concerning the reformation and future happinesse of the Church Peter du Moulin in his French Book intituled Du Combat Christien that is The Chrictian Conflict pag. 256. This persecution is a cruell tempest which cannot last awayes Either it will take us out of the world or God will take it away from us Pag. 353. Every one hath but a short journey whereby he must come to God and the time is at hand that we must commit our bodies to the earth our Souls to God and to the Church peace and the blessing of God For it shall come to passe even in our times that God shall be glorified in the great Congregations Yea even in those places where are horrible ruines the Word of God shall ●ound forth and God shall afford us matter of praise and thanksgiving Pag. 450. After that God shall have shewn us his deliverances on earth he will also shew us his riches in Heaven A CONFUTATION Of the Objections I. Object IS taken out of Matth. 24.14 If after the Gospel preached in all the world the end of all things shall come that happinesse of the Church in this world shall not happen out between the end thereof and the preaching of the Gospel For the Gospel is already preached through the whole earth I answer 1. The Consequence is to be denyed for although this happynesse do come between yet it hinders not but that the end of the world should come after the Gospel preached over the whole earth Secondly The pro-syllogisme is to be denyed because the Gospel is not already preached over the whole earth II. Object Is taken from Matth. 24.29 30. If presently after the destruction of Hierusalem Christ shall come to Judgement then this happinesse of the Church shall not be before his coming to Judgement Answ. The matter it self speaks and experience witnesseth that this word Immediately or Presently is not here properly or simply to be understood but hyperbolically and according to what went before namely in relation to the foregoing Prophesie concerning the overthrow of the Iews which they were to receive by the destruction of Hierusalem So that this is the meaning that between this desolation of Hierusalem and the coming of Christ the Iews should receive no other overthrow III. Object Is out of the same Chapter vers. 37 38 39. If a little before the coming of Christ to Judgement the State and condition of the world shall be such as it was in the time of No●h before the Deluge and that such a state of things is to be seen at this day It may be hence gathered that such a condition of the Church as is here described shall not happen out before the coming of
