first before you come unto the particular Churches as it is set down in the Revelation of Saint John which was a vision of the Church As it was from the beginning and shall continue to the end of the world How sweet is it to observe the order of God in his wil toward the Church as it pleased him to reveal it to Saint John where you find 1. Seals 2. Trumpets 3. Vials with us Churches Laws Penalties seven Seals opened seven Trumpets blown seven Vials powred forth To each Church called God gives and proclaims the law to the law proclaimed he appends the Anathema ordains the penalties denounces Judgment on the Rebellious And this you wil find verified in the particular survey of the several Churches in order The first whereof is the Archetypical Church the Church of Angels God Sir being unum verum bonum the only true Good and the nature of good being Esse sui diffusivum God in the contemplation of his own goodness did beget in himself a desire to diffuse it and make it communicable and practicable which could not be without creatures Therefore did he create the Archetyp wherin the shapes and Ideas of all things were breathed and there and then did he send forth the spotles intelligences who doth inhabite that infinite vacuity which is filled with the Majesty of God whose Religion and work it is to sing praise honor and glory to the Jasper on the Throne with the rain-bow about him Thus Sir was the first seal opened the first mystery revealed the first Church called by the Lamb even the Bereshith rhe principium principians the word and wisdom of the Father by whom al things were made The characters of which Church were a white horse a Crown and bow The Ensigns of Candor Victory and triumph So was it and shal continue a pure victorious triumphant Church Then was the first Trumpet blown the first Viall powred out the first Law proclaimed the Anathema appended the first vengeance denounced against the Rebels the authors of division the fountain of Toleration In the constitution of this Church Sir there was but one God known by the one great ineffable Name 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 One Sephiroth one Emanation one great power one company of Angels of one mind thinking the same and singing the like all things in common amongst them none knowing more than other to none a more ful Vision of God than the rest no place or possession peculiar to any this is the nature of Angels Sir thus it was thus it is and thus it shall bee with these blessed spirits for ever and ever .. The name of toleration was not known here heresie a stranger to this happy society til Lucifer and his tender Conscience brake forth There is a proverb which in all Ages of the Church hath been found of universal truth namely that God had never a Church but the Devill had a Chappel in some corner thereof Sir all Religion hath its superstition all Doctrine its heresie and here it did begin even in this the purest and perfectest Church that ever was or shal be The Devil emulous of the glory and greatness of God would needs set up his own Image erect a congregation of his own by dividing that blessed unity into two Right wrong truth and falsehood But what came of it Sir was he tolerated was he suffered to go so No the spirit of unity and truth went out against him with crown and bow and conquering did conquer the prince of Darkness cast him out of the congregation deprived him the happiness of Heaven and thurst him down to Hel and the earth to have his dominion amongst the sons of Men hence that Church purchased and shall while the world lasts enjoy the name of Triumphant By this punishment God did not only condemn toleration assert the truth the unity of Worship the entirenes of Religion clearly holding forth that he would admit of no copartner in the Worship and praises of the Angels but also did declare the detestable nature of heresie and how unsupportable a thing it was and thus did he by the power of his own Councel which cannot etr reunite the Church again The second Church was the Paternal church that whereof Adam under God was Lord and High Priest In the constitution of this church you 'l find there was but One God one man one commandment one Religion one way of Worshipping that God one treasure and common fortune for all one body to enjoy that fortune one mind in that body Adam knew none above God loved none as God served none but God feared none besides God There was no heresie in Doctrine here no schism in discipline Adam stood in need of none to teach him and as few to enforce him to obey All was one Sir an universal Oneness this was the first and great model amongst men Thus was the second Seal opened the second Mystery revealed the second Church called the Law proclaimed Eat not of the Tree of knowledg c. Gen 2.17 The Anathema appended The day thou eatest thou shalt surely dye comparatively like in every thing to the pattern the Archetypicall Church onely differing in the prophetical characters the red horse and the sword the badges of blood war and man-slaughter signifying that this Church should be liable to many and great temptations and the spirit of the times much addicted to blood cruelty and revenge All things here were answerable to the pattern til the appearing of Satan and founding of heresie by him Then were the characters of this Seal made manifest and read in Mundo The pure perfect and Trinial unitie the prop and pillar of all societies rent asunder and all turned to confusion Nothing now but blood and War God against man and man against God Father against Son and Brother against Brother and the Devil against all and all for Religions sake Adam was one and the Devil made two and that was Heresie God had a Temple and now begins Satan to have a Synagogue God had his Priest and the Devil his Chaplain Abel of one mind Cain of another Cain draws the sword Abel is therewith killed Thus the unity of mind the unity of bodies rent in two Isaac had one portion and Ishmael had another Isaac the promise Ishmael what he could gain his hand against all and all against him Thus came the happy and harmless unity of fortune into the community of possession to be converted into the miserable and turbulent Law of property Jacob was of one mind Esau of another he chose the birth-right even Sacrum sacerdotii Sir Esaw somwhat else Mammon Dominium ventriculi the possessions of this Earth the things of this world Nay look over the whole Paternal time even from Adam to Moses you l find nothing but heresie in doctrine and schism and division in the matter of worship The impression of the red horse seconded with War blood and wounds The miserable effects of
