the_o after_o game_n of_o gog_n and_o magog_n etc._n etc._n be_v omit_v it_o be_v a_o rude_a and_o immodest_a thing_n in_o i_o to_o suppose_v the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n defectuous_a in_o this_o

produce_v reason_n why_o we_o shall_v think_v the_o prophecy_n of_o the_o seven_o church_n reach_v no_o far_a than_o the_o commencement_n of_o the_o millennium_n the_o first_o be_v because_o christ_n invite_v the_o laodicean_n to_o the_o marriage_n supper_n of_o the_o lamb_n and_o promise_v the_o overcome_a a_o throne_n in_o the_o millennium_n the_o second_o that_o there_o be_v no_o account_n give_v that_o the_o millennial_a state_n shall_v ever_o degenerate_v into_o the_o laodicean_n three_o and_o last_o that_o it_o be_v unimaginable_a that_o the_o millennium_n be_v establish_v in_o

heavenly_a throne_n as_o i_o have_v demonstrate_v it_o can_v be_v understand_v of_o a_o earthly_a throne_n in_o the_o millennium_n to_o the_o second_o i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v a_o very_a good_a account_n out_o of_o the_o apocalypse_n to_o be_v give_v why_o we_o shall_v think_v that_o the_o millennial_n or_o philadelphian_a estate_n will_v at_o last_o degenerate_a into_o the_o laodicean_n it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v no_o express_a imputation_n of_o any_o fault_n upon_o the_o belove_a city_n in_o the_o prophecy_n of_o the_o open_a book_n but_o that_o after_o the_o

holy_a city_n but_o the_o reason_n in_o that_o prophecy_n be_v omit_v and_o it_o be_v the_o artifice_n of_o concealment_n in_o the_o apocalypse_n to_o omit_v thing_n in_o one_o vision_n and_o supply_v they_o in_o another_o and_o the_o supplement_n be_v manifest_a in_o this_o vision_n of_o the_o seven_o church_n for_o the_o laodicean_n interval_n succeed_v the_o philadelphian_a which_o i_o have_v demonstrate_v to_o include_v in_o it_o the_o millennial_a reign_n of_o christ_n must_v needs_o synchronize_v with_o that_o state_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v after_o the_o millennial_a empire_n wherefore_o the_o reproof_n of_o the_o church_n of_o laodicea_n for_o their_o lukewarmness_n and_o remissness_n in_o the_o affair_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n and_o neglect_v to_o retain_v and_o propagate_v that_o inward_a state_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o the_o new_a birth_n but_o rest_v in_o a_o dead_a formal_a though_o otherwise_o unexceptionable_a external_a worship_n of_o god_n etc._n etc._n this_o show_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o devil_n be_v be_v let_v loose_a again_o that_o he_o may_v raise_v stir_n against_o the_o church_n and_o so_o they_o may_v reflect_v upon_o their_o condition_n and_o repent_v they_o of_o their_o lukewarmness_n and_o remissness_n which_o hypothesis_n be_v more_o agreeable_a to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n and_o his_o care_n over_o

predict_v the_o entire_a event_n of_o the_o medial-vision_n to_o the_o accuracy_n of_o one_o prophetic_a day_n nor_o yet_o month_n yet_o the_o spirit_n of_o prophecy_n have_v not_o herein_o trifle_v at_o all_o but_o that_o there_o be_v several_a considerable_a use_n of_o this_o variation_n that_o no_o man_n for_o the_o want_n thereof_o may_v obstinate_o pretend_v that_o the_o other_o must_v

which_o our_o saviour_n suffer_v ascend_v into_o heaven_n and_o send_v down_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o assist_v his_o apostle_n which_o be_v the_o most_o indubitable_a and_o unexceptionable_a

of_o the_o threefold_a prophecy_n of_o the_o apocalypse_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o prophecy_n of_o the_o seven_o church_n the_o prophecy_n of_o the_o seal_a book_n and_o the_o prophecy_n of_o the_o open_v book_n be_v not_o to_o be_v fix_v in_o the_o self_n same_o year_n that_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o church_n be_v and_o that_o it_o be_v so_o to_o be_v fix_v these_o few_o reason_n seem_v to_o infer_v first_o they_o be_v prophecy_n all_o three_o of_o they_o of_o a_o large_a universal_a extent_n reach_v from_o the_o time_n at_o least_o of_o their_o reception_n which_o be_v but_o a_o few_o year_n after_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o church_n especial_o in_o comparison_n of_o the_o time_n succeed_a even_o till_o the_o day_n of_o doom_n wherefore_o in_o all_o likelihood_n they_o be_v a_o transcript_n of_o the_o divine_a decree_n or_o provision_n of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n such_o as_o god_n foresee_v it_o will_v be_v in_o its_o general_a succession_n from_o the_o very_a
