of_o christ_n kingly_a seat_n the_o scripture_n seem_v to_o be_v very_o clear_a in_o make_v of_o it_o out_o to_o be_v at_o the_o former_a belove_v place_n jerusalem_n which_o be_v to_o be_v build_v

from_o the_o prophet_n to_o witness_v it_o but_o further_o you_o may_v see_v that_o there_o will_v be_v a_o temple_n although_o not_o the_o union_n of_o the_o seal_a number_n as_o mr._n henden_fw-ge suppose_v which_o have_v be_v already_o answer_v but_o a_o material_a temple_n as_o say_v st._n paul_n 2_o thes_n 2.4_o he_o viz._n the_o man_n of_o sin_n or_o antichrist_n shall_v sit_v in_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n show_v himself_o that_o he_o be_v god_n but_o if_o the_o temple_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v to_o decipher_v the_o mystical_a union_n of_o the_o one_o hundred_o forty_o and_o four_o thousand_o as_o mr._n henden_fw-ge say_v than_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o man_n of_o sin_n shall_v sit_v there_o for_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v hurt_v and_o that_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o temple_n of_o god_n in_o a_o spiritual_a sense_n which_o be_v the_o seat_n of_o the_o man_n of_o sin_n but_o in_o a_o material_a temple_n it_o have_v be_v so_o already_o and_o will_v

to_o be_v a_o temple_n be_v also_o prove_v from_o revel_n 15.8_o in_o these_o word_n and_o the_o temple_n be_v fill_v with_o smoke_n from_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n from_o his_o power_n and_o no_o man_n be_v able_a to_o enter_v into_o the_o temple_n till_o the_o seven_o plague_n of_o the_o seven_o angel_n be_v fulfil_v from_o hence_o we_o see_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o material_a temple_n which_o shall_v be_v so_o fill_v with_o god_n glory_n that_o no_o man_n shall_v enter_v into_o it_o until_o the_o plague_n of_o the_o seven_o vial_n be_v execute_v and_o so_o christ_n by_o the_o brightness_n of_o his_o come_n and_o excellent_a glory_n shall_v dispossess_v the_o man_n of_o sin_n of_o his_o seat_n and_o that_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n do_v shine_v so_o of_o old_a in_o

order_n to_o the_o open_n of_o this_o text_n i_o shall_v divide_v it_o into_o several_a part_n and_o the_o first_o be_v the_o caution_n that_o christ_n give_v to_o his_o disciple_n which_o be_v take_v heed_n say_v he_o that_o no_o man_n deceive_v you_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o many_o shall_v come_v in_o my_o name_n and_o say_v i_o be_o christ_n and_o deceive_v many_o the_o word_n take_v heed_n that_o no_o man_n deceive_v you_o be_v not_o only_o to_o be_v understand_v the_o disciple_n in_o that_o age_n but_o in_o all_o age_n successive_o second_o observe_v the_o word_n say_v i_o be_o christ_n which_o relate_v to_o a_o person_n and_o not_o to_o a_o fabric_n or_o a_o model_n more_o especial_o because_o we_o know_v that_o christ_n be_v to_o come_v as_o a_o single_a person_n as_o a_o glorify_a man_n and_o therefore_o such_o as_o will_v feign_v he_o so_o as_o to_o make_v person_n believe_v that_o they_o be_v christ_n must_v come_v as_o a_o single_a person_n although_o with_o attendance_n as_o he_o be_v to_o come_v and_o second_o because_o we_o know_v that_o it_o have_v be_v the_o practice_n of_o some_o already_o who_o have_v give_v out_o of_o themselves_o that_o they_o be_v some_o great_a one_o even_o the_o lord_n or_o he_o that_o be_v to_o be_v king_n of_o the_o jew_n as_o benchocab_n and_o hackit_n as_o have_v be_v already_o mention_v and_o more_o that_o may_v be_v mention_v beside_o in_o our_o day_n he_o that_o profess_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o great_a one_o or_o king_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o draw_v disciple_n after_o he_o who_o live_v in_o a_o tent_n near_o rochester_n know_v to_o be_v truth_n together_o with_o the_o late_a profess_a christ_n near_o bristol_n who_o be_v adore_v in_o the_o street_n as_o be_v creditable_o speak_v of_o such_o as_o hear_v it_o with_o tho_o name_n hosanna_n bless_a be_v he_o that_o come_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n three_o because_o that_o the_o scripture_n show_v that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v a_o person_n and_o not_o a_o fabric_n or_o model_n or_o form_n of_o worship_n false_a in_o its_o constitution_n as_o first_o from_o dan_n 8.23_o 24_o 25._o compare_v with_o 2_o thes_n 2.3_o 4_o 5_o 6_o 7_o 8_o 9_o for_o the_o antichrist_n deny_v say_v st._n john_n the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o he_o be_v a_o antichrist_n that_o so_o do_v and_o st._n paul_n say_v that_o he_o shall_v deny_v all_o that_o

deny_v both_o the_o father_n and_o son_n and_o will_v not_o admit_v that_o any_o shall_v be_v worship_v as_o god_n but_o himself_o show_v himself_o that_o he_o be_v god_n and_o to_o bring_v his_o design_n about_o he_o shall_v cause_v craft_n to_o prosper_v in_o his_o hand_n say_v the_o prophet_n daniel_n which_o be_v a_o person_n come_v with_o sign_n and_o lie_a wonder_n 2_o thes_n 2.3_o 4_o 5_o 6._o compare_v with_o revel_n 13.18_o 19_o 20_o 31._o agree_v with_o the_o text_n itself_o mat._n 24.24_o which_o say_v for_o there_o shall_v arise_v false_a christ_n and_o false_a prophet_n not_o false_a constitute_v church_n and_o shall_v show_v great_a sign_n and_o wonder_n etc._n etc._n from_o whence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o antichrist_n or_o false_a christ_n be_v a_o person_n or_o person_n and_o not_o a_o false_a worship_n four_o and_o last_o it_o can_v be_v understand_v a_o form_n of_o worship_n or_o a_o people_n set_v down_o to_o worship_n god_n in_o a_o form_n because_o the_o text_n say_v if_o they_o say_v lo_o here_o be_v christ_n or_o there_o believe_v it_o not_o imply_v thus_o much_o that_o christ_n be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v here_o nor_o there_o that_o be_v no_o where_o in_o any_o form_n or_o worship_n in_o no_o church_n whatsoever_o and_o if_o this_o be_v true_a then_o to_o be_v sure_a christ_n be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o mr._n hendens_fw-la form_n for_o mr._n henden_fw-ge have_v a_o form_n which_o he_o pretend_v he_o worship_v god_n in_o to_o wit_n a_o form_n of_o meet_v together_o a_o form_n of_o preach_v of_o pray_v of_o praise_v and_o a_o form_n of_o baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n if_o he_o be_v true_a to_o his_o principle_n which_o be_v either_o a_o form_n of_o worship_n or_o a_o lump_n of_o confusion_n for_o what_o be_v without_o form_n in_o point_n of_o visible_a worship_n be_v confusion_n and_o what_o if_o mr._n hendens_n judgement_n be_v true_a that_o be_v to_o say_v if_o the_o church_n be_v in_o the_o desert_n or_o wilderness_n have_v christ_n leave_v his_o church_n there_o alone_o without_o his_o spiritual_a presence_n sure_o no_o he_o have_v say_v and_o be_v faithful_a that_o he_o will_v never_o leave_v and_o forsake_v his_o church_n so_o that_o wheresoever_o there_o be_v but_o two_o or_o three_o gather_v together_o in_o his_o name_n he_o will_v be_v present_a with_o they_o and_o be_v he_o not_o with_o the_o church_n in_o the_o wilderness_n act_n 7.38_o yea_o sure_o it_o be_v not_o rational_o think_v that_o christ_n will_v not_o be_v find_v in_o his_o own_o worship_n by_o such_o as_o worship_v he_o in_o truth_n and_o righteousness_n of_o heart_n so_o than_o the_o text_n can_v be_v interpret_v as_o mr._n henden_fw-ge interpret_v it_o because_o christ_n be_v to_o be_v find_v here_o and_o there_o and_o indeed_o every_o where_n in_o his_o spiritual_a presence_n where_o two_o or_o three_o meet_v together_o in_o his_o name_n if_o it_o be_v in_o the_o desert_n or_o wilderness_n he_o

understand_v as_o mr._n henden_fw-ge interpret_v it_o and_o thus_o i_o pass_v what_o have_v be_v say_v to_o the_o text_n by_o mr._n henden_fw-ge and_o in_o the_o next_o place_n shall_v show_v you_o my_o opinion_n brief_o upon_o the_o text_n which_o be_v in_o this_o text_n i_o observe_v many_o thing_n which_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v speak_v to_o if_o i_o have_v time_n because_o it_o hold_v

by_o the_o false_a christ_n and_o false_a prophet_n and_o of_o their_o sign_n and_o wonder_n second_o of_o the_o desert_n or_o secret_a chamber_n three_o of_o the_o come_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n

christ_n and_o false_a prophet_n i_o understand_v to_o be_v person_n who_o will_v come_v before_o the_o come_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o the_o cloud_n in_o power_n &_o great_a glory_n &_o will_v affirm_v that_o they_o be_v the_o christ_n which_o be_v to_o come_v the_o which_o some_o have_v do_v already_o but_o that_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v only_o the_o work_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o

confirm_v it_o again_o when_o israel_n come_v out_o of_o babylon_n nor_o after_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n be_v lose_v and_o find_v again_o in_o the_o day_n of_o josia_n no_o more_o need_n we_o

henden_fw-ge say_v that_o he_o be_v a_o legal_a minister_n and_o a_o minister_n of_o condemnation_n which_o have_v no_o visible_a demonstration_n from_o the_o spirit_n viz._n miracle_n the_o answer_n be_v then_o mr._n henden_fw-ge be_v a_o legal_a one_o and_o a_o minister_n of_o condemnation_n because_o he_o profess_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o minister_n and_o yet_o never_o work_v a_o miracle_n that_o ever_o i_o hear_v of_o there_o be_v much_o time_n spend_v upon_o a_o kind_n of_o run_a discourse_n to_o little_a edification_n for_o that_o which_o i_o will_v have_v have_v do_v in_o order_n

several_a thing_n and_o so_o confound_v one_o with_o another_o and_o clear_v it_o not_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v i_o can_v repeat_v what_o be_v say_v about_o the_o four_o wind_n and_o what_o be_v say_v by_o captain_n tucker_n as_o to_o the_o ground_v of_o faith_n upon_o the_o obscure_a and_o dark_a prophecy_n which_o be_v well_o mind_v although_o not_o well_o weigh_v by_o our_o antagonist_n and_o as_o i_o think_v as_o little_o understand_v i_o have_v find_v it_o a_o sure_a maxim_n that_o the_o great_a confidence_n among_o man_n have_v the_o least_o reason_n to_o warrant_v it_o which_o be_v sad_a and_o whereas_o hebrew_n 12._o be_v bring_v together_o with_o galatian_n 4._o to_o prove_v the_o church_n to_o be_v call_v mount-zion_n neither_o of_o the_o place_n prove_v it_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o galatian_n tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v the_o covenant_n which_o be_v call_v jerusalem_n which_o be_v from_o above_o and_o from_o the_o hebrew_n we_o learn_v also_o that_o it_o be_v the_o

and_o to_o god_n the_o judge_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o just_a man_n make_v perfect_a so_o that_o we_o be_v come_v to_o one_o as_o well_o as_o to_o another_o and_o to_o neither_o of_o they_o but_o by_o faith_n in_o the_o covenant_n for_o while_o we_o be_v at_o home_n in_o the_o body_n we_o be_v absent_a from_o the_o lord_n for_o we_o walk_v by_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o

then_o it_o be_v the_o church_n which_o be_v call_v jerusalem_n but_o jerusalem_n from_o above_o be_v the_o church_n mother_n mark_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o child_n and_o the_o mother_n and_o

at_o one_o sermon_n say_v mr._n john_n henden_fw-ge but_o now_o we_o see_v not_o the_o same_o effect_n therefore_o the_o cause_n cease_v god_n have_v leave_v they_o and_o they_o be_v become_v as_o a_o dead_a carcase_n without_o a_o soul_n answ_n it_o be_v very_o true_a there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o there_o be_v such_o need_n of_o a_o visible_a demonstration_n of_o god_n spirit_n to_o go_v along_o with_o his_o ordinance_n to_o bear_v witness_n to_o the_o son_n of_o man_n that_o they_o be_v the_o ordinance_n that_o be_v approve_v of_o by_o the_o lord_n that_o they_o may_v be_v a_o pattern_n or_o
