the Son of Man came in the Clouds of Heaven and came to the Ancient of dayes and they offered him before him And he gave him Dominion Glory and a Kingdome and all people Nations and Languages shall worship and serve him The Hebrew hath it Tribes and Languages shall honour him his dominion shall be everlasting and not passe away his Kingdome shall not be destroyed Our Translation hath it Tribes and Languages shall serve him his Power shall be an everlasting Power which shall not be taken away and his Kingdome shall not be corruptible otherwise his Power shall not fail otherwise his Power shall be for ever and his Kingdom remain for ever Out of all which these things appear with evidence O Master that Christ in his second comming shall sit before the Ancient of dayes as a God come to judgement contrary to that of his first comming where he stood before our forefathers the Jews and received their judgement against him To these two commings of the Messias that is Christ the Prophet David hath respect in that Psalm where he saith For he commeth for he commeth to judge the world His first comming was but simple and mean to which purpose those words are barely set down for he commeth without any addition But as the first was poor so the second will be powerfull and therefore is added this clause to the second for he commeth to judge the world His second comming is mentioned by the Prophet Zacharie His feet shall stand in that day on the Mount of Olives c. You know well enough O Master none of us are so grosse-witted as to hold that God considered in his divine Essence and Nature hath either flesh or feet or any corporeall Members for to have feet is proper to corporietie David alledged in the place before saith of his second comming A fire shall burn before him and round about him For all this O Master we do not say God is circumscriptible for place that any thing may be said to stand about him as he is God but therefore it is thus written because these authorities have a literall veritie in that Righteous One described by the Prophets when one while they speak of his Humilitie another while of his Majestie The Prophet Malachie saith Behold the Lord commeth and who may abide the day of his comming For he shall sit as a refining fire and shall melt the silver and gold Here behold how that Just One once judged shall appear at his second comming Attend O Master and marke how in the same chapter the Prophet further expresses the glorie of his person I will come near to you in judgement and be a true witnesse against adulterers c. In the same sort doth Ezechiel describe him speaking of the Shepherds and Sheep I will separate between them that is I will separate the transgressors from the Righteous and the unbeleevers It is not thus in our Translation but the Arabick reads it so Lo here how in his second comming he will separate the unrighteous from the righteous as Malachie and Ezekiel are both clear in this point At his first comming none of us knew him for hee went beyond the limits of humane nature as God by Esay saith He was reckoned with transgressors and we therefore esteemed him not And Jeremie saith This is the man and who knows him Wherefore O Master this fear dwels upon my soul that our Fathers in the first comming of the Messias fell off and rann into errours and because of this we groan under our endlesse Captivitie Yet what ever fall out we belong unto God and in him we hope CHAP. XI Of the second comming of Christ that he then will judge with Power THese two things O Master I am in no small fear do agree to him 1. That he was manifested as a Saviour to all them that beleeved in him at his first comming 2. That he shall be a just Judge to judge all with power at his second comming David the Prophet speaks of him The Lord hath made known his salvation he hath openly declared his righteousnesse in the sight of the heathen Esay doth not dissent Ye shall draw water out of the wells of salvation or of the Saviour which so far as my eyes serve I can interpret those Wells of salvation to bee meant of nothing else but Baptisme Thus his double Advent hath a double Element his first comming in water to save by Baptisme his second comming in fire to trie all by judgement a Saviour by water a Judge by fire Of this Saviour do those words mean I know that my Redeemer liveth and that in the last day I shall rise from the earth and my eyes in my flesh shall see my God Observe here O Master how he calls this Just One both Saviour and God It is confest and manifest that God being a Spirit cannot be seen with any eye of flesh Scripture gives it out that the Saviour is the Righteous God and he alone challenges the name of that True Iust One of whom that saying is He did no sinne neither was guile found in his mouth Esay the Prophet testifies this of him This cannot be said of Moses or any of the Prophets that he is a Righteous Saviour and without sinne you Master know well enough that both Moses and the Prophets were sinners which the Scripture makes plain in that none is called the Righteous One but Christ and that name is reserved as onely proper to him And this without all doubt is to bee held that none are saved but those that beleeve his first comming and those that beleeve not there is no ground for them to hope for salvation at his second comming This argument has a marble reason to lay the foundation strong for it for I reason thus If they were worthy of death that beleeved not Moses who was two great degrees below Christ for Moses was but a temporary Saviour and a sinner how much more are they worthy of this judicatory fire that beleeve not nay and worse that blaspheme this Righteous One the Lord that never knew any sin Yet nothing can so fall out as to take this from us our relation and belonging to God CHAP. XII Of the Ascension of Christ DIgging into the precious earth of the Scriptures we have found O Master that Christ shall be exalted from earth to Heaven and hence arises my fear that this was fulfilled in him whom our Fathers Butchered and that the Prophet Davids acclamation is of his exaltation Open the gates of your Principality O ye Princes and be you lift up O ye everlasting doors and the Prince of glory shall enter in To which words I intreat your attention O Master that you mark how the Angels in Heaven make answer Who is the Prince of Glory and he will answer again to them The

thus though they did fully transgresse the Law worshipt Idols and slew the Prophets yet drunk they not of such a Cup of Indignation and Judgement as we their Children CHAP. XV. The Jews blindnesse and incredulity about Christ was foretold by the Prophets THis O Master dives me deep under the waters of fear that our not beleeving in that Righteous One hath caused that to be fulfilled and to fall upon us which the Lord spoke by the mouth of Esay The vision shall bee as the words of a Booke that is sealed which shall be given to one that is learned to a Reader saying read this I pray thee and hee saith I cannot for it is sealed And the Book is delivered to him that is not learned saying Read this I pray thee and he saith I am not learned What greater and closer sealing up of the Book can there be found O Master than this wherewith the Lord hath sealed and fast closed up our blinde hearts and we have now been a thousand years and more as miserable Truants in learning this one lesson of the comming of this Righteous One propounded to us in the Prophets and yet we know it not nor have taken it out This is it which blows the Prophets Trumpet with that threatning blast Ierusalem shall be desolate and their holy house shall fall down He further said Our Countrey is desolate and their holy house shall fall down He further said Our Countrey is desolate our Cities burnt with fire and Zion is left as a Cottage in a vineyard This this is the evill O Master which has now the age of a thousand years and more on the back of it According to this Esay further saith O Lord God I will exalt thee for thou hast made a Citie an heap an house to be confusion a defenced Citie to be a ruine for ever He shall break the people in pieces like the breaking of the Potters Vessell which shall be broken so as there shall not be found a sheard to take fire from the hearth or to take water withall out of the pit Daniels words are also fulfilled that after the Messias is cut off there shall follow a perpetuall desolation in which desolation we now are and have been cast deep into this flood of miseries a thousand years and more Esay goes on to spinne the thred of our wo Solitarinesse shall be left in the midst of the City or desolation and their Land shall hisse with a perpetuall hissing After him Jeremie saith Call ye them reprobate silver for the Lord hath rejected them Esay again Walk you in the light of your own fire and in the flames sparks which you have kindled In these flames we as miserable Salamanders have now lain a thousand years more Amos comes with like threats The house of Israel shall fall and none shall raise her up To me verily O Master it seems we are falne indeed and ruine is come on us since the comming of that Righteous One yea God hath brought it on us seeing since that time no Prophet has risen amongst us neither shall there be any as is foretold and prophesied of us for we remain still in our incredulitie we maintain an obstinate negative of that Righteous One and do not beleeve in him Hosea therefore saith When the woman conceived and bare a daughter God said call her name Loruhamah without mercy for I will no more have mercy on the house of Israel And if thus it be that the Lord hath quite cast us off and will have no mercy on us as we have felt by the miserable experience of a thousand years and upward to what end or what profit is it for us to retain our old Ordinances the Law Sabbath and Circumcision Esay saith Bring forth the blinde people as the true glorious God hath now brought us forth of our Land and made us strangers to it more than a thousand years Besides all this he saith The old errour is gone away what can we pick out of this O Master what is the old thing but our Law which is gone away from us yea we have lost King Sacrifice Incense Altars Was there any worse thing in the whole predicament of calamity that could have befaln us What prey or bootie of hope have we for our winged expectations to flie after Do we not see wo unto us that wee see it that the Lord hath scattered and disperst us thorow the four quarters of the world as Moses Jeremie and other Prophets foretold us Yet for all God we are thine and to this God we have our recourse in every event CHAP. XVI He shews the Jews reprobation for perfidiousnesse and the Gentiles election by faith MY soul is not free from this fretting fear O Master that whereas you and I betwixt our selves can boldly say and affirme that we are the sons of Jacob and Israel that for all this God may have fulfill'd that which he spoke by Esay God shall slay thee O Israel and call his servants by another name I quake to think that we should be of those servants on whom that name shall be imposed as Moses writes in Deuteronomie The Nations shall be the Head and the unbeleeving people the Tail as we now are and have been the hindmost the very Tail of all the World for 1000 years and more Of these Nations Jeremie speaks The earth shall be filled with the knowledge of God as the waters that cover the Seas Salomon hath of them this O Lord God when a stranger which is not of thy people Israel shall come to thy holy house and call upon thy blessed Name then hear thou O Lord my God that all the earth may learn to fear thy Name as doth thy people Israel What have wee O Master wee proud beggars of the Jews that we can boast in Why should we contemne and hold the Gentiles in scorn seeing Salomon the Prophet hath joyned them as partners with us in the fear of God and in his holy House And peradventure God hath shut us out of his House as unworthy ones and hath given our room to them as more worthy as Moses hath spoken of them Thus saith the Lord God the whole earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord. After him David All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord and all the kindreds of the Nation or a thousand generations shall worship before thee Of them spoke Esay O holy house of David thy light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee The Gentiles shall come to thy light and Kings to the brightnesse of thy rising Lift up thine eyes round about thee and see all they gather themselves together they come to thee thy sons shall come from frare The sons of strangers shall build up thy walls and their Kings shall minister unto thee And who I pray O Master are
