A86981	Chiliasto-mastix redivivus, sive Homesus enervatus. A confutation of the millenarian [sic] opinion, plainly demonstrating that Christ will not reign visibly and personally on earth with the saints for a thousand yeers either before the day of judgement, in the day of judgement, or after it: where you also have many texts of scripture vindicated from the vain glosses of one Dr. Homes, a great Millenarian [sic], and all of his cavils (of any consequence) refelled and answered. With a word to our Fifth Monarch-Men, whose dangerous practises of late, clearly shew that this opinion leads to schisme, and sedition in church and state. / By Tho Hall B.D. and pastor of Kingsnorton.	Hall, Thomas, 1610-1665.	1657 (1657)	Wing H428; Thomason E1654_2; Thomason E2135_2; ESTC R208344	36,388	116

hath not his Verbum Domini for what he holds Even the Devil himself when he disputed with our Saviour had his Scriptum est he cited Scripture though corruptly The Dr. cites 51. proofs out of the Old Testament almost all borrowed from Doctor a Alsteed or Dr. Gouge his Treatise of the calling of the Jews p. 9. to 83. I shall set them down in order as the Dr. recites them the bare rehearsall will be confutation to the most of them for either they prophesie of Christs first coming in the flesh 2. Or of the Jews deliverance from Babylonish captivity 3. Or of the calling of the Jews when there shall be a spiritual restauration of the Church or the like To prove that Christ shall reign with the Saints on earth a thousand yeers the Dr. Quotes 1.

Mal. 4. total If you count these proofs they are many but if you seriously weigh them you will not find one to the purpose Obj. Though none of these Scriptures apart prove the point yet sayes the Dr. lay them all together and then they 'l do it Answ. Lay them and 51. more such proofs together for 't is easie gathering proofs to prove Christs Incarnation the a calling of the Jews Israels deliverance from Babylonish captivity and the Spiritual Glory of Gospel-times and they will never satisfie any sober Reader as to the proof of this point I must confess I seldom smile at my Study yet when I observed the Drs Learned-nonsense and his gross non-sequitors I could not forbear and let any Ingenious Reader take any one of these 51. proofs apart or altogether as the Dr. directs him and put but ergo Christ shall Reign with the Saints on earth a 1000. years and he cannot forbear smiling at least to see how the Drs. proofs hang together like ropes of sand and come as neer together as St. Germans lips which were nine miles asunder The Drs. Arguments for the Millenary fancy are like the Papists for the Popes Supremacy E. g. Peter healed the sick with his shadow ergo he was head of the Church Pauls calls him Cephas ergo he was chief of the Apostles Christ bid him put up his sword ergo the Pope hath right to both swords Or like the Quakers consequences flesh and blood shall not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven ergo there shall be no Resurrection The Saints shall judge the world here ergo there shall be no other Judgment this is Naylers Logick Obj. The Scripture holds forth that the last dayes shall be glorious dayes ergo Christ shall then Reigne personally on earth a thousand yeers Sol. It follows not for allthough the last dayes shall be glorious in respect of the great light of the Gospel and the glorious Priviledges and Liberty which the Church shall then enjoy yet in respect of the abuse of that Liberty and those Priviledges so the last dayes will be Perilous times a 2 Tim. 3. 1. True in Gospel times the bounds of the Church shall be enlarged Antichrists Kingdom shall decrease and Christs Kingdom will increase the mountain of the Lord shall be exalted in the top of the mountains and the Churches Priviledges will be advanced but that ever the Church should come to that height of happiness on earth as to be free from troubles internal and external and to Raign with Christ here for a thousand yeers in a sin-less sorrow-less temptation-less condition as D. H. phraseth it is a meer dream and hath no ground in Scripture Obj. Though many of these 51 proofs may be impertinent yet some may be pertinent Answ. I shall therefore call out the most pertinent for the bare reading of most of those Texts is confutation sufficient The first great place is Psal. 8. compared with Genesis 2. 26 27 28. which speaks of Adams dominion over the Creature in the state of innocency but the 8. Psal. speaks directly litterally and properly of Christ the second Adam if we will believe the Apostle a Heb 2. 6 7 8. So that the Drs. collating of these places is invalid 'T is true what is here spoken of Christ is proper to the Saints by vertue of their union with Christ the dignities belonging to Christ the head appertain to his mystical body the Church which ●s called Christ 1 Cor. 12. 12. All is theirs because they are Christs Now what do Millenaries gather hence Why 't is this that since Christ is thus exalted and the Saints in him to have dominion over the creatures c. Ergo they shall reign with Christ a thousand years on earth Who sees not the vanity of such Logick Obj. Heb. 2. 5. The Apostle speaks of a world to come ergo he speaks of this thousand yeers raign to come Answ. What a sad thing is to father our vain fancies on the Prophets and Aposties and to make them speak what never so much as came into their thoughts By the world to come is meant the Church of Christ under the Gospel which is called the world to come 1. In relation to the Church that lived before and under the Law who longed to see this world John 8. 56. 1 Pet. 1. 10 11. 2. Because of the restauration of all things by Christ begun already 2 Cor. 5. 17. and shall be finisht hereafter at the Resurrection which is called the time of the restitution of all things ●phes 1. 10.
