then they were lost as if they had been in the second Covenant if some go to Heaven without Christ what means Acts 4. no other name men have to be saved by but by the name of Jesus Now though Adam's enjoyments are named most as earthly did they not signifie heavenly to be enjoyed upon obedience was not Paradise a Type of Heaven What meant Tree of Life but eternall life Rev. 2.7 why was he not endued onely with an earthly soul or what needed an immortall soul for onely earthly enjoyments You do not wisely look unto the end and meaning of these things but as the Jews on their sacrifices or art willingly ignorant as in 2 Pet. 3.5 which is worse I passe by your Exposition of 1 Cor. 15. what though Christ was the quickener after Adam's fall and beyond Adam was not Adam invested with an immortall soul was he not superiour to the earthly condition of Beasts had he not a posse non mori 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 what means that Text in dying thou shalt die as the Hebrew has it but in dying temporally thou shalt die eternally according to Gods revealed will Read my Glimps how many Deaths p. 29.

Death temporall the body shall return to dust Eccles 12.4 eternall death as Rev. 21. called the second death but I attend what you say in your fifth Argument where you argue thus That opinion wh●●h makes God a lyar and the Devill tell true is to be rejected but that Opinion which holds that Adam should die more then a temporall death is such for Adam's Posterity are not in Hell onely die temporally and Satan told them ye shall not die c. but God said ye shall surely die therefore Adam was onely threatned with temporall death Answ Your Minor is false for though God threatned Adam with eternall Death yet he lyed not in not inflicting it because his threatning was to deterr Adam from sinning and not Gods peremptory resolution but as to Hezekiah and Niniveh for God had decreed before the salvation of the Elect in Adam by Christ Jesus therefore intended not their ruine but of this already Gods sentence was for Death not his decree except for Reprobates but you that can excuse the Devill and accuse God according to this judgement how did the Devill say true do not men die temporally and eternally for first sin By one mans offence judgment came upon all to condemnation Rom. 5.18 as the free gift in Christ Jesus was to justification Either say Christ brought not justification to life by his obedience or else conclude Adam brought eternal condemnation on non-Elect by disobedience or else say there is no sence in the Apostles arguing Rom. 5.18 all were condemned to die temporally the day Adam sinned but were repliev'd to increase the world so all the Reprobates were condemned in Adam fore ordained to condemnation in Jude but judgement deferred for many Reasons not remitted Your sixth Argument is already answered that tho Children bring into the world such sins as make them liable to the second death yet they may belong to Heaven as I have shewed the person of an Elect Vessel may be loved sanctified in time though the naturall condition were hated And it were sad for Children if not naturally Children of wrath and lost or else have no Saviour if no sin Matth. 18. not are to be found if not lost To such the Kingdom of grace belongs by vertue of Parents faith How prove you that their Parents or friends that brought them had not faith they were Sons of Jews yet in Covenant who had a good opinion of our Saviour and in all likelihood brought them for a spirituall end or else how did Christ answer their expectation in blessing them You say Matth. 18. is not understood of Children in Age.

priviledges in Heaven of which 2 Rev. 17. Dun. 4.17 holy ones with Christ carrying on the Government of the world What think you of Rev. 6.10 How long O Lord But you 'l say Saints know not what 's done below therefore can't govern or raign on earth whiles in Heaven for Isay 63.16 sayes Jacob knowes us not c. Answ Of themselves Saints above cannot tell what 's don below Saints knowledge of things below by Angles because of their remoteness and because without bodies but they have acquaintance of the affairs below by means of Angels who partly govern this world under God Heb. 2.5 Now Angels and Saints can make matters known to one another r. Luke 15. of joy in Heaven over one penitent sinner therefore Heaven or Saints there must know it And in Rev. 18.20 upon Babylons overthrow Heaven Prophets and Apostles rejoyce therefore knew of its overthrow but enough The grand objection against the spirituall raign of Christ onely lies in Dan. 7.27 a Kingdom under the whole Heavens shall be given to Saints and v. 18. and v. 14. and this after the Beasts body is given to be burned ven 11. But all this may be taken spiritually of Christs Kingdom upon earth ruling and raigning in his Church and thus the Saints building and planting of Churches to wit and eating i. e. feeding in Ordinances may be spirituall in Isay 65.22 without wresting the Text but let us briefly examine Dan. 7. The foure Beasts are the foure Kingdoms The fourth some take to be not the Roman but the Selucidan Kingdom of Syria called a fourth The same for substance with Alexander but differing in ten horns read Annor because not absolutely Monarchicall at present for Macedonia Asia and Egypt were Kingdoms also in the hands of Alexanders succestors as the former were and more terrible to the Land of Judea and Saints which the Beast even consumed verse 23. The ten Horns were ten Kings in that Kingdom Read Junius Eng. Annot. Diodati on Dan. 7. from Seleucus to Antiochus the little Horn who was the tenth as Junius proves and last that raigned over Judaea till Christs time Well in summ this Beast was slain by the Parthians and King Tygranes of Armenia and Syria made a Roman Province by Pompey here is his ruine meant by his bodies burning by consuming Warr vers 11 then the Saints time came according to promise v. 18.14.27 quickly was Christ born the spirituall King but where 's the temporall Kingdom Or suppose by four Beasts the Roman Monarch were meant and by ten Horns the ten Kings or many in Rev. 17.12 which arose out of the Roman Monatch and suppose the Pope the little horn typed by that in Dan 7. Well the Beast be it the remainder of the Roman Monarch in Turke Pope Read my Exposition Chap. 19. Revel c. and Kings of the earth who adhered to him are taken a live as at last day Rev. 19.19 20. and cast into Hell fire I believe now after this sure no Kingdom for Saints but that above in glory For though in Dan. 7. the apparition of Gods judgement might not signifie the day of judgement but Gods judgement on his then Churches enemies yet in Revel 19.19 20. all things being well considered the last day is meant after which no temporall Kingdom for Antichrist and Beast shall in some sort continue to the last as 2 Thes 2.8 prove and Rev. 19. 20. Now whiles these raign where 's Saints temporall Kingdom But it may be demanded Why were the lives of the other Beasts prolonged after their dominion was taken away Dan. 7.12 if not because Christ and Saints were temporally to raign over them as ver 13 14. Answ 'T is already plain that Christ took not on him a temporal Kingdom 2. The next Monarch prolonged the lives of the peoples who once belonged to these beasts to raign over them Every Empire or Enemy in their time perished but the people thereof continued in some low form or state till brought under by the Romans But Christ is not to temporally raign in earth read John 14.2 I go to prepare a place for ye in heaven that where I am ye may be not in earth And 1 Thes 4.16 We shall be caught up to Christ in the Air when he comes to raise the Dead in Christ who shall rise before the nest and to we shall be ever with the Lord to wit raigning in the heaven not on earth And Act. 3.21 Whom the heavens shall contain till the time of the restitution of all things Now Heaven and Earth is to be restored of which a word anon but that will not be till after Wickeds Resurrection Rev. 20.12 13. and Chap. 21.1 2. compared For if the Earth be restored before wicked's resurrection shall it be digged up again or he faced to raise up wicked's bodies Or must not their bodies be part of the glorified Earth redime te captum So Christ shall not come from heaven to raign before wickeds resurrection which is against your tenet but 1 Cor. 15. makes it plain ver 23 24. That Christ comes to judgment at the end of all then comes the end therefore no time of temporal raigning for Saints after his coming onely this Caveat I 'le add If Christ judge as man then the day of the Lord may be as a 1000 years all which time the Saints shall judge the world with Christ But what is this to a temporal raign Besides why should earth be preferred before heaven to raign in And if those alive must eat and drink as some exound Esay 65. literally is not here E picurism Sure the Kingdome of God consists not in these things Rom. 14.17 You may oppose Rev. 20. where Saints are said to raign a 1000. years And 2 Pet. 3.13 we expect new Heavens and new Earth wherein dwells righteousness Answ † Paraeus in ev 20. Read y Exposition ev 20. Here is nothing will prove your design * Paraeus has answered every Objection and cleared any difficulty about the thousand years and first resurrection briefly Satan was bound up a thousand years as not to hinder the propagation of the Gospel though he raised persecution against the Professors thereof The thousand years of Satans binding in probability began about the ruine of the Jewish Temple Anno Dom. 73. for while that Temple stood the Jews much withstood the preaching of thee Gospl in which thousand years multitudes of people believed but were persetuted to death 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 these John sees living and raigning with Christ in glory those thousand years in which Satan was bound up their conversion is called the first resurrection being to grace many being bodily raised in Old and New Testamen before answerable to Fall of Soul first into sinne Now this was the first resurrection or conversion of soules to grace in the thousand years Remember John saw visionally the souls not bodies in heaven with Christ
raign and hinder your Saints 1000. years glory The Pope is Antichrist But you deny the Pope to be Antichrist in troth he is beholding to you but I believe him Antichrist and you a limb of him But what makes you huddle up so many texts together to prove the man of sins arising pag. 101. I perceive you understand not what is meant by Gog or Magog like enough fore-runners of Antichrist as the little horn was a type of him in Dan. 7. meaning that Tyrant Antiochus Epiphanes that sagacious or cunning but blasphemous wretch You quote Esay 14. 13. to be understood of Antichrist which was plainly spoken of the King of Babylon v. 4. And 2 Thes 2. you will have understood of Antichrist not the Pope Have you not been tutor'd by a Jesuit But let us try your Reasons why the Pope no Antichrist First because the Pope or rather Romish Babylon is ser forth by the name of a Woman as Rev. 17. but Antichrist is called the Man of sinne 2 Thes 2.3 Answ Antichrist is set forth with a double form Rev. 13. 4 11. As Tyrano and false Prophet yet but one Beast v. 18. So Antichrist as Woman or Whorish Church seducing but as Man viz the Series of Popes tyrannizing Secondly the Romish Babylon confesseth God Qui scribit seservum servorum provat s●… tyrannum tyrannorum but Antichrist shall exalo himself above all Gods 2 Thes 2.4 Answ He shall confess him in words but deny in deeds so does Romish Babylon or rather Pope exalting himself above Augels and Kings who are called Gods 3. You say That Romish Babylon shall be destroyed before the appearance of Christ but Antichrist shall not Answ The Romish Church shall be diminished before Christs appearance as Judge but not quite destroyed Partly she is destroyed by the breath of Christs mouth his word and spirit already and the rest by the brightness of his comming 2 Thes 2.8 but you may finde that in Rev. 17.17 and chap. 18.18 the City of Rome is to be destroyed by fire but the Pope shall survive and the Romish Church though diminished till last day 2 Thes 2.8 Rev. 19.20 plainly Sancta Maria Regena calisalva nos I could shew you many Arguments to prove the Pope Antichrist as 1. Who is against the honour Church and truth of Christ is Antichrist such is the Pope praying to Saints which derogates from Christ counting himself as head of the Church remitting sins bidding the Virgin Command her Son c. 2. Who exalts himself above all that is called God Though he 0204 0725 V call himself Servus serverum Dei is Antichrist but so doth the Pope as above Emperours Kings nay Angels who are called Gods The Lateran Councel applauded the Pope saying Thou art all things and above all things And again the same Councel said to him thou art another God on earth Read Jewels Apology page 447. or Aug. Civit. Dei l. 20. c. 19. expounding in Templum or Annot. of Assemb on 2 Thes 2.4 But 3 dly Who sits in the Seat of Antichrist is Antichrist but so doth the Pope on seven hills of Rome Rev. 17.9 where were seven Governments and the Pope the eighth trading for souls of men Rev. 18. And in Johns time ruling over Nations Rome to wit was the now feat of Antichrist what need further proof From your page 112. to 128. you almost trifle away Pen Ink and Paper for my part I shall not fight with your shadow Yet a word to what you say You would prove that upon the last return of the Jews to their Country Antichrist which you call Gog out of Ezek. 38. shall destroy or spoil Israel till Christ succour them But. 1. The Jews finall return to their Country is disproved already 2. Gog is not litterally Antichrist though an enemy to Christs Church By Gog understand the people of Asia so called from Giges the King by Magog the Scythians and by both understand the Turk who came of them and raigns over them Nov Who Gay and Magog though the Gogims did much spoyl Israel under Antiochus and were overthrown by the Macchabees God wonderfully assisting upon the Mountains of Israel in the latter dayes not the last Ezek. 38.16.21 Yet we expect a further destruction of the enemies of Gods Church comprehended under Gog and Magog Turk c. Read Rev. 20. which will hardly come to passe till Christ come to judgement Rev. 20.9 when Christ shall come with flames of fire to destroy his enemies But Gog cannot be Antichrist because of Unbelieving for Antichrist must sit in the Temple as owning God c. Now you would prove that this Gog Antichrist shall be destroyed by Christ before the end and quote Rev. 19.11 No wart with Gog on Israels Mount to prove it but that Text is meant of Christs comming to judgement as appears by vers 15. the sword comming out of Christs mouth being his sentence to the wicked at the last day when he shall slay them with Go ye cursed c. Thus all warres in the letter on the Mountains of Israel are ended P. 128. And I come to examine Christs personall raign in earth 1000. years when Gog and all enemies shall be subdued to him where a thousand to one but I shall finde you tardy Your grand proof is because Christ was to enjoy the Throne of David Luke 1. which was not spirituall but temporall But consider Christ tells Pilate that his Kingdom was not of the world John 18.36 Christs personall Raign disproved as in Earth in the sence that Caesars was so Christ must succeed David spiritually because also Of his Kingdom there must be no end Luke 1.33 Now by Jacob and Israel there the Saints are meant the true Israel of God thus he is called King of Saints Rev. 15 And to this purpose other Texts of Scripture must be understood where Christ is called a King that learned Sermon of Dr. Goodwin on Rev. 5.10 we shall raign on earth speaks louder and more to purpose then all other Books on that subject yet because Christs Kingdom was spiritual before his ascension I believe it will be so still because the Angels told the Disciples so Acts 1.11 This same Jesus shall so come in like manner as you have seen him go into Heaven So that Paraeus expounds the Saints raiguing in earth spiritually as they shall be Kings and Priests to wit sacrifycing sin raigning over wicked by the spirit in them for the head Christ raigning the members raign but the Weapons of our warfare are not carnall The Saints raign in earth may be these wayes first by their prayers Saints Raign spirituall prevailing with God to bring judgements or blessings upon the earth thus read Isay 45.11 Concerning the works of my hands command ye me how did Moses and Elias even govern the world by their prayers to say nothing of the witnesses Rev. 11-2 By being admitted into high
