A43282	Seder olam, or, The order, series or succession of all the ages, periods, and times of the whole world is theologically, philosophically and chronologically explicated and stated also the hypothesis of the pre-existency and revolution of humane souls together with the thousand years reign of Christ on earth ... : to which is also annexed some explanatory questions of the book of the Revelations ... : and an appendix containing some translated out of Latin by J.

except_v which_o be_v more_o illustrate_v by_o this_o hypothesis_n there_o be_v sundry_a other_o place_n of_o scripture_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v very_o much_o illustrate_v by_o the_o say_a

because_o indeed_o that_o soul_n bear_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n and_o lord_n only_o in_o his_o twelve_o revolution_n for_o neither_o abel_n nor_o isaac_n or_o any_o other_o of_o those_o 12_o revolution_n be_v call_v christ_n nor_o ought_v any_o of_o they_o to_o bear_v the_o dignity_n or_o character_n of_o christ_n till_o they_o have_v perform_v their_o 12_o revolution_n whereby_o that_o soul_n ought_v to_o be_v fit_v and_o prepare_v to_o assume_v this_o excellent_a title_n and_o dignity_n wherefore_o it_o be_v true_a that_o christ_n be_v but_o once_o bear_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o but_o once_o suffer_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o all_o mankind_n even_o according_a to_o the_o aforesaid_a hypothesis_n because_o christ_n do_v not_o assume_v that_o soul_n in_o a_o personal_a unity_n as_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n till_o the_o 12_o revolution_n 12._o last_o because_o moses_n foretell_v that_o god_n will_v raise_v up_o a_o prophet_n to_o the_o israelitish_n people_n from_o

come_n which_o can_v not_o be_v 107._o but_o lay_v aside_o the_o aforesaid_a hypothesis_n still_o the_o argument_n remain_v as_o strong_a as_o before_o to_o convince_v the_o jew_n that_o the_o messiah_n ought_v not_o to_o have_v come_v late_a into_o the_o world_n than_o he_o actual_o do_v the_o jew_n themselves_o deny_v his_o come_n soon_o because_o indeed_o if_o he_o have_v come_v late_a then_o certain_a soul_n will_v have_v complete_v their_o 12_o revolution_n before_o he_o come_v and_o so_o will_v have_v reap_v no_o benefit_n by_o the_o messiah_n come_v into_o the_o world_n 108._o this_o argment_n will_v be_v more_o forcible_a to_o convince_v the_o jew_n because_o the_o jew_n themselves_o do_v acknowledge_v the_o revolution_n of_o soul_n to_o live_v divers_a time_n in_o the_o flesh_n although_o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o number_n of_o those_o revolution_n yet_o they_o expect_v that_o all_o shall_v at_o last_o be_v raise_v up_o and_o restore_v to_o ●ife_n in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o messiah_n that_o they_o may_v enjoy_v the_o benefit_n of_o his_o come_n when_o he_o shall_v come_v now_o if_o it_o can_v be_v make_v appear_v to_o they_o from_o the_o old_a testament_n which_o they_o acknowledge_v and_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v 12_o revolution_n of_o humane_a soul_n live_v in_o a_o body_n of_o flesh_n and_o neither_o more_o nor_o less_o even_o till_o they_o be_v at_o length_n perfect_v in_o a_o good_a or_o evil_n i_o think_v we_o need_v not_o doubt_n but_o may_v positive_o conclude_v that_o the_o jew_n at_o leastwise_o all_o who_o be_v ingenious_a and_o covet_v in_o any_o measure_n or_o degree_n the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n will_v be_v convince_v that_o the_o messiah_n be_v come_v and_o in_o the_o next_o place_n believe_v
