mens teachings DENUS to the restored Church in the Isle of Pathmos The personal Reign of the Saints REvel 5.9 And they sang a new Song saying Thou art worthy to open the seals for thou wast shame and hast redeemed us to God by thy bloud out of every kinred people tongue and nation and hast made us Kings and Priests to God and we shall reign on the earth This promise of God beareth us up by a living hope and as Saint Peter saith we look for new heavens and a new earth where Righteousness shall dwell These words have an inference to a new state of Justice when none shall reign but his kingdom of Saints which must execute justice under him by a personal power in so high an enjoyment of God that they well be called a new heaven on earth or an heavenly people that shall reign on earth so that the world seeing their high and sweet enjoyment may imitate them and become a new earth and so comply and rejoyce together As Saint Paul saith Rejoyce ye Gentile with his people so that the natural branch may rejoyce with the spiritual kingdom and government and grift in with them to sing to God saying Thou art worthy O Lord. This personal reign of the Saints shall be a visible State that the ends of the earth shall have when the oppressours shall no more pass through their kingdom or City Zach. 9.8 when they shall have all given into their hands As you may finde by Daniel the 7. vers 27. That the dominion and greatness of the kingdom shall be given to the people of the Saints Revel 20. Saying Ye shall be Kings and Priests to God and shall reign with him Which is interpreted by some that Christ shall reign with his people again in a personal or visible estate which he hath done already upon his participation but now we look only to his substantiality and to bring all into the God-head which is one substance almighty and king of Saints without person or persons which is an undivided substance most high whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom and all dominions shall serve and obey him which is God without end or dividing into parts any more For the Lord shall raign in Sion before his ancient glory and the earth shall be silenced when the Saints shall grown in that new heaven and shall raign as Kings over the world in that high calling and Royal Priesthood the Lord will do great things at that time the Saints shall bear the Image of the heavenly by a sure walking with God for he hath made us Kings and Priests to him and we shall raign on the earth when he hath put all rule and Authority under his feet he shall give up the kingdom to his father and shall raign and shall put all powers under him I do not mean that Christ shall raign personally any more but as in power in all places both in Heaven and Earth as Father Son and Holy Ghost joyned all in one power and the Saints shall govern as Deputies under him for David shall never want a man nor the people of God a Priest to offer sacrifices continually which is him above for no flesh shall behold any more but by his power and not by his bodily shape the soul may behold him when it is out of the body and for any further beholding of him I know none for his personall raign hath been already and he hath appeared to his Disciples saying go forth and declare as by a personall command So it appeared FINIS LONDON Printed for Henry Hasilwood dwelling in the Parish of Windsor in the County of Berks. 1651.
shepherd Shewing some poor despised Messenger that God shall send to lay the Ministers under wrath by the seventh Vial. Now a pouring forth further he saith in the same Chapter Woe to the idle shepherds that leave their flock his arm shall be clean dryed up and his right eye darkened upon the sounding the alarm in Sion which is the pouring out of the last Vial which produceth Judgement and Justice in the Earth and by a standing up for it when all the Earth shall be awaked to maintain the Creation of Gods inheritance or institution These seven Vials make out one fulnesse that is all the fulnesse of Gods time and to that end they be called Vials six of them are poured out already the seventh is now in power pouring forth which is Kingdome power and glory for an infallible testimony of his bright appearing which is called the seventh and last Vial which shall violate and burn up every All under it called six All 's or Vial Ordinances that shall be purged by it This is King over all the other six Ordinances whereon all things must be proved upon the Center called the Everlasting Word saying All power is given me in heaven and in earth Thus all Powers dye and live in him by one Power which is true Gospel for he is the Fountain of every Original and at his appearance every Religion shall be purged and all conditions changed and shall darken all things at his bright appearing and under this everlasting Gospel or seventh Vial many shall be slain and fall under Gods hand for it shall try the Consciences of men and it shall judge all the Ordinances Who can but fear thee O Lord Revel 15. for thy Judgments are made manifest and the light is discovered that hath layn hid so long and God is taking off the vail and covering spread over all flesh and Judgment must first begin at his own house and every petty priesthood must fall for behold the constellations shall fail the Sun and the Moon and Ministers may fail but his eternal Priesthood shall stand for ever the Stars or Lights shall fall before him which is true Gospel and I know no other Gospel but that of Christ and his Apostles which is not fully preached forth nor actually performed but the Lord will now make all things new a new heaven a new earth a new Covenant and a new Gospel and old things must become new and though they have layn in darknesse under six or seven Dispensations of time to make out the end of their darknesse yet now the pure Light will spring that shall abolish all under it and his pure Ordinance is now in pouring forth which is his Sabbaths Vial it shall judge all her abominations and all her oppressions and shall make out all the Gospel Promises and priviledges by every outward and inward performance For it is not your peeced out charity or any meritorious work of your hand that God looketh for Thou must bring thine offering into Gods house for those that be destitute of comfort must have and receive of the gift from the Altar and not from any mans personal gift neither can it be so proper as from God and his Church as given from a Fountain and from his house must relief come which is from the Altar of God so the left hand shall not know what the right hand doth for it shall arise from the Tythes or Tenth part of the substance under Gods hand as if we should all say we give thee this from the overplus which is a feeding together in one propriety of an enjoyment under God so that every mans Tythes being consecrated to Gods house should make up every breach that Charity may have its perfect work to fulfill the Law of Liberty which is a Gospel freedome from the first Melchizedeck which may be called an endlesse freedome for the creatures of God to enjoy and so to make his house a Common Treasury to the peodle and not to command Tythes as Dues to the Minister neither can ye lawfully demand it either by Law or Gospel if ye can then disprove this which is written What if the Minister shall receive Tythes yet he is to bring it into Gods house for an offering and not to enrich himself but to be contented with the meanest condition to be humble to God and lowly to man and in so doing he shall not defile the offering of Gods Temple nor make his Ordinance a prophane thing which our Ministers have formerly done Priest I am your Inheritance saith the Lord and no other inheritance can you have of God for the overplus of his house is for you to eat and to drink with the stranger the fathenlesse and the widow What if thy Tythes be charged into Gods House it is the seventh part of thy gift that God looks for which shall make up his seventh Jubilee or seventh Vial called his rest which is a fulsilling all his Commands Ye shall keep my Sabbath Ordinances and not break my rest In a word the Priests of God must be free from all outward inheritance and in case of want they may lawfully eat and drink with such as be receivers at the Altar of God Priest I am your Inheritanee Deutr. 14.29 declareth of their not having any inheritance and because of the uncertainty of their condition therefore they shall eat and drink with the fatherlesse this alarm in Sion cometh home to our Ministers Priests and Levites Under the Law it was to them but a time but to our Teachers for a shorter time And if the Priesthood failed under the time of the Law how much more shall it do under the Gospel By this high Priest and his eternal Priesthood and upon the third appearance your preaching shall cease and that shall be when the two witnesses shall stand up to plead for Gods heritage and the peoples Inheritance and at their appearing your preaching must cease which is the partiality of one mans tongue for God will have two faithful Witnesses to plead in your Churches that shall satisfie the Consciences of the hearers Yet farther Gods Ministers ought not to stain themselves with worldly cares having food and rayment wherewith to be contented which is not so low a condition as our Saviours were having no where to hide his head Ministers what do you fear if God hath an House and in it a Common Treasury then fear not but the Church shall minister to your wants and be not offended though we move you to the Alt●● it is not an Altar set up in your Churches to bow unto but it is to the Altar of God that shall alter your Customes and priestly powers Leviticus 27.30 Numb 18.28 Deut. 14.29 Exod. 23. Deut. 26.12 13. Deut. 10.9 18.1 2. the Priests and Levites shall have no Inheritance with Israel therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren Lastly if Christ Jesus had given his Disciples the benefit of Tythes
