that first Declaration we may observe first how all evil shall by him be taken out of the world viz. by Christs destroying the works of the Devil as St John speaks and that both in his Designes and actings by all his wicked Instruments in the old world and ever since in the new world especially in his designs of his three Babels as in ch 5. of our Iren. all to come to utter confusioon at his 2d coming having laid the firm foundation thereof by his death at his first coming by bringing in again at last oneness of Language peaceable and good Gvernment and vindicated his Gospel Truth from Mystical Babylons pollutions but more especially he will break his head of power by his great day of Judgment eminently at the first act thereof Rev. 19.20 and totally and finally at the last v. 11. And 2dly this in the next place God more generally made known to Enoch as St. Jude records it v. 13 14. who was a Type of Christs Ascention having this Testimony that he pleased God as the Apostle witnesseth as God was well pleased with Christ who having done all his wills ascended into Heaven and at his descending again begins the first act of his Judgment of his said great day when the body of the Beast shall be given to the burning flame Dan. 7. and the last act will totally and finally break h●s said head of power which our Saviour teacheth shall be after the 1000 years of his Reign with his Sts. Rev. 20. when Satan shall be cast into the fiery lake wherein the Beast had been 1000 years before The 3d to whom God revealed those Mercies so long before was Noah and that three wayes First as saving his Family by an Ark from that destruction with wicked men by the flood as a Type of Christs saving his Saints from the fires of Gods wrath at both those acts of Judgment against men and Devils And then 2dly on the other hand for carrying on of Good for the Saints then God in the second place made a Covenant with Noah for the Worlds and Creatures preserration until those last times and set the Rainbow in the clouds as a token thereof and also for the fruitfulness thereof for all their Accommodations till then and that the greatest fruitfulness should be in that last state as the Prophets afterwards both confirm and explain as Joel 3. Ezek 34. Amos 9.13 And in the 3d place God gives a Prophesie to Noah that his two Sons posterity viz. the Jews descending from Shem who obtained the first interest in Gods favour then and the Gentiles in their time descending from Japhet should be perswaded by God to dwell in the Tents of Shem. viz. to be of the true Church when the Jews were cast off Acts 13 being the two stems out of whose roots the Elect should mostly arise until Christs second comeing though haply many Proselites might spring out of Chams race since as before the flood out of Cains the former Call of the Gentiles Hos 10. is explained Rom. 9. and the joynt Call of both to come is explained Rom. 15. when the Gentiles with all Gods ancient people shall rejoyce together as Deut. 32.43 but after that time all Nations and People shall see the salvation of the great God of Israel when the Heathen as was said shall be given to Christ for his Inheritance c. and as Dan. 7.27 all the Kingdome and Dominion and Greatness of the Kingdome under the whole Heaven N. B. shall be given to the Saints of the most high with Christ and all Dominion shall serve and obey him And thus briefly of the said Predictions to the said three Fathers Adam Enoch and Noah all extending to the said time and state as our Saviour hath likewise by his Revelation resolved us c. Come we now to the Covenanted Mercies made by God to the following Fathers and their spiritnal seed for the Typical Canaan and Mount Sion therein c. to enjoy the benefits thereof through their Divine seed Christ for there are many disterences betwixt them and their natural races interest which was but conditional and so broken by them as we set down in many distinctions pag. 10 11 12. of Resurect but their spiritual Race with themselves will enjoy their sure interest in the renewed state thereof at the first Resurrection as in our Key of the Covenants with Abraham Isaac Jacob and David of which many great things are there observable pag. 6 7 8 c. and all suiting to Christs Revelation in the New Jerusalem state and Kingdome of Christ ch 20 21 22. all holding forth the truth and faithfulness of God as we more largely shewed both in the Systeme of promised Mercies and Covenauts and the Treatise following of Resur First Abraham the Father of the Faithful had a seven fold gradation of the said Promises and Covenants for the Land of Canaan and the chief City in it for his natural seed in the Type but as for his own interest he looked for a City that was then a sar of at the first Resur with his spiritual seed that hath foundations whose Maker and Builder is God which God saith the Apostle had prepared for the Fathers who Without us also shall not there be made perfect Heb. 11.10 16 40. or perfect in one John 17. in the New Jerusalem as the Lambs Wife Rev. 21.2 9. for as Abraham saw Christs day first and last by Faith so it is not to be doubted but he saw that City of an Heavenly excellency though it will be in the world then as our fifteen Reasons approved by the learned and judicious sufficiently manifest and so the Covenanted Confirmations to the like purpose made unto Isaac and Jacob as may particularly be seen in our said Key respecting all their three Covenants for here we only briefly touch upon them as affording us their strong evidence to these said Divine Truths The last is Gods Covenant with David as to his sure Mercies respecting his Kingdome gloriously to be set up in Christ when he shall return as Luke 19. from his Fathers right hand ceasing then as Mediator to sit upon his Fathers Throne Rev. 3.21 and coming to sit with his said Saints upon his own Throne then for all these said Fathers natural Off-spring were cast out of the Typical Canaan with a sore destruction for their great sins Mic. 2.10 and Davids natural Race ceased to succeed him over Israel and Judah for the height of their wickedness to the falling of his Tabernacle for their long bondage of 2300 years during the four Gentile Monarchies succeeding thereupon as God revealed to the greatly beloved Prophet Daniel and after his Visions is also contained in St. Johns the beloved Disciples book of Revelation whenas the Prophet Amos speaks ch 9. and is explained by the Apostle James Acts 15. that Davids Tabernacle at the end of the last Monarchy now neer approaching shall as was said in
c. by whom both the Elect Angels were confirmed in grace and glory and the sins of the Saints should through all times be purged away by himself for the good of whom he hath ever since made his Elect Angels Ministring Spirits having from Eternity given them by his said Covenant unto Christ Therefore the Spirit of God evidently so explains Psalm 8.4 in that excellent Epistle to the Hebrews chap. 2 6 7 8. speaking by allusion there to the first Adam but in both texts Christ is said to be the Son of Man which the first Adam was not but only by Creation the Son of God Luke 3. the last And this Son of Man Christ is he that was for a little season in the world made lower than the Angels but after Crowned with Glory and Honour who for the suffering of death as the Apostle speaks Heb. 1.3 sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high and hath all things as he goes on v. 8. put in subjection under his feet viz. Decretively and Declaratively not actually as all shall then be so the holy Apostle speaks there we do not yet see all things put under him v. 8. and now in some sort or sence the world is the Saints as 1 Cor. 3.22 but then it shall be not only as Christ now providentially orders all for their good therein but then it shall also be theirs in possession too at the said times of the Restitution of all things as our Saviour resolves in that world to come Rev. 21.5.7 Consider well as to this Head our Divine Theses in pag. 3 4 5 6 c. of our first Irenic and Abridg. p. 7 8 c. all though short yet of great weight 4. Gods word witnesseth that by an Eeternal Decree he hath appointed to set his King Christ upon his holy Hill of Sion Psal 2. according to his last Covenant with David for his sure Mercies respecting Christs Universal and perpetual Kingdome that he promised to him for ever 2 Sam 7.16 to the end that after all the vain attempts in the world to the contrary v. 1 2 3 which have ever been in acting since the Fall that Enmity was put by Gods Justice between the seed of the Woman and the seed of the Serpent Gen. 3.15 and will be to that very time when he shall come with his Saints to take possession of it which I doubt not but this Generation will shortly see and what a time of trouble will then be 'till Christs said coming ends it Dan 12.1 Rev. 16.18 experience will soon manifest but notwithstanding all that hath been is now in acting or shall be until then yet saith God I have set my King Christ the great King of the New Jerusalem as he stiles himself Mat 5.35 upon my holy Hill of Sion when also upon his asking as he did John 17.20 he will give him the Heathen for his Inheritance and the uttermost part of the Earth for his Possession and when he will make him his First-borne and so Heir to the Kingdome higher than the Kings of the Earth Psal 89.27 and Prince of the Kings of the Earth Rev. 1.5 and therefore when he destroyes the Beast and false Prophet at the Armageddon Battel his Name shall be written upon his Vesture and upon his Thigh whose Name also is called the Word of God v. 13. yea he had a name written that no man knows but he himself v. 12. but yet v. 16. his Name is so written King of Kings and Lord of Lords Rev. 19.11 c. whereupon he with his raised Saints shall Reign upon Earth 1000 years Rev. 20.4 6. which will be Gods said setting of his King Christ upon his holy Hill of Sion and his possessing of his said Davidical Kingdome for ever 2 Sam. 7. which from our 12 Foundations of our Faith hereof is abundantly evident with others Hence also it is very observable Acts 15.16 17. that the Holy Spirit upon the Apostle James his speaking of the raising Davids Tabernacle which the Prophet Am. shews ch 9.11 the last shall be so that the people shall never more thenceforward be pulled up out of their own Land as also is said 2 Sam. 7 and to be when the fulness of the Gentiles shall come in as Rom. 11. which he stiles all the Heathen that are called by my name to which text of Amos S. James having spoken of the Gentils first call which was in part as he said by his mouth v. 7. he then adds after that I will returne which words are not in Amos 9. but Gods Spirit taught him so to explain them and build up his Tabernacle also and as declaring it not to belong to that first call of the Gentiles but as Amos saith when all the Heathen shall be called by his name and thereupon adds that great general Divine Truth here to be especially applyed to the raising of Davids Tabernacle v. 18. known unto God saith he are all his works from the beginning of the world as if he would thereby teach Gods people that it was Gods eternal designe then to raise Davids said Tabernacle in Christ according to his Covenant with David viz. for his House his Throne and Kingdome for ever as 2 Sam. 7. and that all the works of God in the world since tend to fulfil that which is his great designe in that time in the world namely for Christ to reign in the renewed state thereof with his Saints in it where they had all been before so Conteamed Persecuted and Oppressed by the black Prince of this present evil world and by ungodly men also called the children thereof namely of this present evil world And thus we may see in all these particulars Gods eternal decrees are confirmed and explained by Christ as they shall take place in that state in those times accordingly of which much more will be manifest from the Divine exactness the comprehensive usefulness and the certain determination of Christ in his said Key which is chiefly the spirit of Prophesie and the Testimony of Jesus as he had before spoken by his spirit in his Prophets Rev. 19.10 The next evidence of the said sate in the said times is from the most ancient Declarations Promises and Covenants in his word unto the Fathers as the next revealed grounds of the same The first was Gods own Declaration upon Mans Fall That the seed of the Woman should break the Serpents head and because he was to be only the seed of the Woman and not of the man therefore was necessarily to be the Son of God as he was manifest to be in the in 4000 years after by the breaking of the Serpents head by degrees in respect both of his head of Policie and Power at last he should so make way for his own sovereignty and the Dominion over the Creatures at last to be restored to him as largely is to be seen in our Treatise on Gen. 3.15 so that in
