earth_n satan_n gog_n and_o magog_n can_v not_o war_n against_o they_o but_o we_o read_v ver_fw-la 7.8_o that_o when_o the_o thousand_o year_n be_v end_v god_n and_o magog_n shall_v rise_v against_o they_o from_o whence_o it_o do_v appear_v that_o the_o belove_a city_n and_o the_o camp_n of_o the_o saint_n shall_v be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o gog_n and_o magog_n in_o the_o four_o quarter_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o it_o be_v say_v they_o shall_v compass_v the_o belove_a city_n and_o the_o camp_n of_o the_o saint_n about_o which_o they_o can_v not_o do_v if_o either_o of_o they_o be_v in_o heaven_n therefore_o this_o kingdom_n be_v to_o come_v upon_o earth_n yet_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o earthly_a or_o a_o worldly_a kingdom_n as_o the_o chilliaste_n and_o some_o jew_n vain_o dream_v and_o imagine_v but_o a_o glorious_o spiritual_a and_o holy_a kingdom_n christ_n kingdom_n now_o be_v a_o holy_a and_o spiritual_a kingdom_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n but_o than_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o and_o much_o more_o holy_a and_o spiritual_a as_o well_o as_o more_o glorious_a then_o ever_o it_o be_v before_o when_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v become_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o christ_n when_o the_o lord_n himself_o shall_v be_v king_n over_o all_o the_o earth_n and_o his_o name_n be_v one_o object_n but_o it_o will_v be_v demand_v though_o it_o be_v grant_v when_o the_o enemy_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o people_n the_o beast_n and_o false_a prophet_n be_v overthrow_v and_o destroy_v and_o satan_n himself_o chain_v and_o bind_v up_o there_o will_v be_v some_o eminent_a kingdom_n for_o the_o saint_n and_o that_o here_o upon_o earth_n yet_o i_o say_v it_o will_v be_v demand_v and_o the_o query_n be_v whether_o this_o reign_n of_o the_o saint_n that_o have_v be_v behead_v and_o martyr_n of_o jesus_n shall_v be_v in_o their_o own_o person_n or_o in_o their_o successor_n who_o profess_v the_o same_o truth_n with_o they_o as_o many_o godly_a and_o learned_a divine_n do_v affirm_v and_o hold_v that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o same_o individual_a person_n but_o of_o their_o fellow_n and_o successor_n in_o the_o same_o faith_n and_o profession_n who_o follow_v in_o the_o same_o spirit_n and_o cause_n answ_n for_o answer_v to_o this_o i_o can_v see_v at_o all_o how_o such_o a_o succession_n or_o such_o successor_n shall_v be_v mean_v here_o by_o this_o first_o resurrection_n and_o this_o reign_n with_o christ_n a_o thousand_o year_n and_o that_o for_o these_o reason_n among_o other_o following_z 1._o because_o succession_n can_v in_o any_o tolerable_a sense_n be_v call_v a_o resurrection_n but_o this_o live_n again_o and_o reign_v of_o the_o saint_n with_o christ_n be_v call_v a_o resurrection_n ver_fw-la 5._o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o a_o succession_n for_o a_o succession_n be_v of_o other_o body_n in_o the_o room_n of_o those_o depart_v but_o a_o resurrection_n be_v of_o the_o self_n same_o individual_a body_n that_o be_v dead_a before_o we_o have_v need_v methinks_v take_v heed_n lest_o while_o we_o plead_v for_o and_o profess_v such_o a_o figurative_a and_o improper_a resurrection_n we_o shall_v at_o once_o both_o resist_v and_o deny_v the_o truth_n and_o too_o much_o gratify_v atheist_n and_o sadducee_n who_o be_v willing_a to_o take_v all_o occasion_n to_o deny_v the_o resurrection_n altogether_o and_o tell_v we_o it_o be_v but_o a_o fancy_n hatch_v in_o the_o brain_n of_o some_o man_n only_o 2._o because_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o if_o we_o suffer_v with_o he_o we_o shall_v also_o reign_v with_o he_o 2_o tim._n 2.12_o but_o the_o saint_n do_v suffer_v in_o their_o own_o person_n and_o not_o in_o their_o successor_n therefore_o they_o shall_v reign_v in_o their_o own_o person_n and_o not_o in_o their_o surviver_n and_o successor_n now_o by_o reign_v with_o he_o can_v i_o conceive_v be_v mean_v in_o heaven_n after_o the_o day_n oâ—_n judgement_n be_v consummate_v and_o end_v for_o then_o christ_n as_o christ_n or_o as_o mediator_n reign_v not_o himself_o but_o as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o 1_o cor._n 15_o 24._o he_o deliver_v up_o the_o kingdom_n to_o the_o father_n that_o god_n may_v be_v all_o in_o all_o he_o himself_o reign_v but_o till_o then_o if_o therefore_o we_o shall_v reign_v with_o he_o it_o must_v be_v while_o he_o reign_v and_o that_o be_v not_o in_o this_o life_n when_o he_o reign_v in_o our_o heart_n spiritual_o for_o that_o be_v the_o time_n of_o our_o suffering_n with_o he_o ergo_fw-la our_o reign_v with_o he_o must_v be_v when_o we_o be_v raise_v again_o a_o thousand_o year_n during_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o this_o in_o their_o own_o person_n not_o in_o any_o survivor_n or_o successor_n for_o if_o we_o suffer_v we_o shall_v reign_v with_o he_o 3._o because_o if_o the_o saint_n shall_v suffer_v in_o their_o own_o person_n and_o reign_v in_o their_o successor_n this_o will_v be_v a_o very_a poor_a encouragement_n to_o any_o man_n to_o become_v a_o martyr_n 1_o cor._n 15.18.19_o then_o they_o also_o which_o be_v fall_v asleep_a in_o christ_n be_v perish_v if_o in_o this_o life_n only_o we_o have_v hope_n in_o christ_n we_o be_v of_o all_o man_n most_o miserable_a 4._o what_o be_v to_o suffer_v with_o christ_n but_o to_o suffer_v as_o he_o do_v and_o what_o be_v it_o to_o reign_v with_o christ_n but_o to_o reign_v as_o he_o do_v in_o quality_n though_o not_o in_o equality_n to_o be_v glorify_v with_o he_o as_o paul_n expound_v it_o rom._n 8.17_o to_o sit_v with_o he_o upon_o his_o throne_n as_o john_n express_v it_o rev._n 3.21_o but_o christ_n reign_n be_v not_o a_o reign_n in_o successor_n for_o he_o haâ—h_v none_o to_o succeed_v he_o therefore_o the_o saint_n shall_v not_o reign_v in_o successor_n for_o they_o must_v reign_v as_o he_o do_v and_o that_o be_v not_o in_o successor_n but_o in_o his_o own_o person_n this_o may_v be_v a_o four_o reason_n against_o the_o saint_n live_v and_o reign_v not_o in_o their_o own_o person_n but_o in_o their_o successor_n 5._o when_o the_o text_n say_v they_o live_v and_o reign_v with_o christ_n a_o thousand_o year_n let_v the_o reader_n be_v please_v diligent_o to_o weigh_v these_o two_o thing_n follow_v 1._o if_o live_v a_o thousand_o year_n be_v mean_v of_o live_v in_o successor_n then_o by_o this_o reckon_n before_o the_o thousand_o year_n begin_v the_o saint_n have_v no_o successor_n and_o after_o the_o thousand_o year_n be_v end_v they_o shall_v have_v no_o successor_n neither_o as_o suppose_v the_o thousand_o year_n shall_v begin_v ut_fw-la aliqui_fw-la volunt_fw-la as_o some_o will_v have_v it_o in_o the_o day_n of_o constantine_n the_o great_a which_o be_v about_o three_o hundred_o year_n after_o christ_n than_o the_o saint_n which_o live_v and_o die_v before_o his_o day_n have_v by_o this_o reckon_n no_o successor_n for_o the_o thousand_o year_n of_o live_v in_o successor_n be_v not_o before_o then_o begin_v and_o all_o the_o saint_n who_o have_v live_v and_o die_v since_o bless_v luther_n time_n have_v have_v no_o successor_n for_o according_a to_o this_o account_n the_o thousand_o year_n of_o live_v in_o successor_n be_v end_v before_o he_o do_v begin_v what_o a_o strange_a prophecy_n have_v some_o make_v this_o for_o the_o angel_n to_o tell_v john_n of_o a_o thousand_o year_n in_o which_o the_o saint_n shall_v live_v in_o successor_n whereas_o the_o saint_n have_v have_v successor_n for_o above_o 1660_o year_n already_o since_o christ_n time_n and_o how_o many_o year_n more_o they_o may_v continue_v to_o succeed_v each_o other_o who_o can_v tell_v sure_o the_o holy_a prophecy_n must_v have_v some_o other_o mean_v then_o of_o successor_n 2._o if_o by_o the_o reign_v of_o the_o soul_n of_o they_o that_o be_v behead_v be_v mean_v reign_v in_o successor_n then_o by_o this_o reckon_n there_o be_v no_o reign_v of_o the_o saint_n at_o all_o for_o if_o there_o be_v it_o be_v either_o before_o or_o after_o death_n before_o death_n it_o can_v be_v for_o that_o be_v a_o time_n of_o suffering_n not_o of_o reign_v and_o after_o death_n they_o reign_v not_o in_o their_o successor_n for_o their_o successor_n be_v in_o the_o same_o state_n of_o suffer_v that_o their_o predecessor_n be_v not_o of_o reign_v for_o
