Seed of the Righteous shall then literally and lineally be blessed yea blessedness shall then it seems be intailed upon them succeshvely to them their Seed and Seeds Seed for ever as is very remarkably let down at the great Restauration of Israel in Ezek. 37. when Christ there called by David's name as his Type and Progenitor who by a lineal de●cen● from him shall then obtain the long-before-promised Right of David's Kingdom and sit upon the Throne of David his Father as the Angel told the blessed Virgin Luc. 1.32 both Kingdoms of Israel and Judah being for ever then to be again united into one under him that then the very Land given unto Jacob his Servant out of whose Loyns immediately the Heads of all the Twelve ●ribes of Israel were derived and therefore it is further added that Land where their Fathers dwelt that they also shall dwell therein and then add a perpetuity of successive inheritance which onely he who is the absolute Proprietor and every way able to make it good and to make nullities of mens perpetuities as oft as he pleaseth He I say then tells them fully at this period when David's Kingdom shall then be so fully restored to Christ upon the old everlasting Covenant made to their fore-fathers which carries all promised mercies with it that they their Children and their Childrens Children shall dwell in the said promised Land for ever ver 25 c. And this may further appear by the improvement of Gods promise by Abraham's saith Heb. 11. who though he over-look'd no dram of promised mercy to any of his Seed even in temporal respects yet his faith as the Apostle teaches wrought upon the main that one promised Seed Christ as he is called Gal. 3.16 in whom particularly all Nations of the Earth should be blessed which at the said time will be most fully and really accomplished in whom he foresaw with the others there named the fulfilling of those promises was then afar off and that by vertue of such divine and spiritual grace all temporal good must be advanced and enjoyed Yet his faith fixed so upon that sure Foundation of all blessings really good which will be so derived to and preserved for all such his said bless●d Seed then that there will be a wonderful uninterrupted blessedness at that time continued to them In seeing the accomplishment whereof a great measure of Abraham's happiness through Christ will then actually consist when he shall eminently be Heir of the World actually by a blessed fruition thereof for a long season above 1000 years who as the Apostle speaketh Rom. 4.13 was in his life time but Heir thereof by faith onely which yet he was then sure should not be frustrated Much inlargement might be added to this effect if it were requisite and many Divine Rea●ons given from the Covenant to Abraham and Promises repeated to his Seed as spiritually so invested with all the temporal blessings of the Mediat●●rs Kingdom when God and Christ are so often said to dwell with them and to set his Tabernacle among them which will carry along with it both the remov●l of evils conferring all suitable good for that state We shall onely name a few more Promises belonging to the same state as Isa 61. which whole Chapter is a lon● and large prediction and prom●e made to that then-blessed Race for their Fathers sa●es as ●s noted by the Apostle Rom. 11. yea there also by way of distinction from the Gentiles he saith vers 9. to make it more evident of what generation of men he spake Their Seed shall be known among the Gentiles and their Off-spring among the People but for what shall they be so known It follows All that see them shall acknowledge them that they are the Seed which the Lord hath blessed The old intailed Covenant from Abraham Isaac and Jacob will then be found of force and Gods truth and faithfulness then acknowledg●d wherefore the Apostle there relates that promise Isa 59.20 When the Deliverer shall come out of Sion and shall turn away unged●iness from Jacob Rom. 11.26 So that all Israel then saith he shall be saved and v. 27 he adds the reason thereof For this saith he is my Covenant with them when I shall take away their sins So it is the covenanted Mercy of God to that people which is of so large extent that when as a Foundation-mercy therein he shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob and so take away their sins for onely Godl●ness hath the promise of this life and also of the world to come in that he is such a De●iverer that he will first work such spiritual deliverance in them the other also upon that his said coming will follow unto the utmost extent also for all promised temporal mercies in the same Covenant contained even as a shadow will follow the substance of the spiritual And a like Promise of the same state of Gods Israel is given Isa 66.22 speaking of the New Heavens and the New Earth which shall then be and ●e●●ain before him which he spake also of creating Chap. 65.17 even for that said blessed condition so of their posterities perpetuity in th●t happy estate while that world continues So saith he shall your Seed and your Name remaine when wicked men shall be destroyed aforehand and their careales shall then most prob●bly at the Arm●ggedon Battel a● by the Context appears be an abhorring to all flesh vers uit So th●t by what hath been said it may appear That though the Rest which Joshu● brought Israel into was by them polluted as was said Mu● yet he was a I 〈…〉 them of their great Messiah when he shall come to them the second time without sin unto salvation Heb. 9 ●●t turning away ungodliness from Jacoh as was said so beginning his Kingdom of the Mountain Dan. 2.35 and the New Jerusalem state Rev. 21. which is that other Rest which David spake of mentioned Heb 4.7 8. which is that Sabbatism or Rest remaining for the people of God vers 9. called by the Apostle Paul Rest with us when our Lord Jesus Christ shall be revealed 2 Thess 1.7 and all this again at his appearance and his Kingdom 2 Tim. 4.1 wherein the fulness and great evidence of holy Scripture appears to these purposes and that upon most sure soundations if duly considered See Sir Rich. Finch his book setting forth very largely those Promises belonging to that ancient People of God There are many other things observable in the Parallel of Moses with Christ and some others in Joshua's which I shall here also set down as follows First Moses was ordained of God to be a Deliverer of his People So was Christ the great Redeemer of all Gods Chosen c. Secondly When Moses was new born he was in danger of his life by the Edict of Pharach King of Egypt So Christ when new born was in danger of his life by the Command of Herod a strange King and

the world which neither will be till the said 1000 years and little space of Satans loosing be afterwards fulfilled as Rev. 20.8 9 10 c. But then the Lord as the Psalmist speaks will send the Rod of his strength out of Sion and he shall then rule in the midst of his Enemies Psal 110.6 c. and smite 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the Head not Heads as translated of divers Countreys viz. the Pope or Turk or both as making in several respects the whole Antichrist of the latter times but much more upon the said Text Gen. 3.15 may be observed to the same pourpose in the Treatise thereupon II. Secondly Prophesied of by Enoch in the Old VVorld Jude 14 15. Behold the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his Saints to execute Judgment upon all and to convince all that are ungedly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed and of all their ungodly speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him VVhere observe how general he declares this Judgment shall be in the issue of it and then how throughly he will discover ungodly men though now they hide themselves in the Crowd and for a time towards godly men shift off and excuse and hide their ungodliness yet then Christ will convince themselves which were the concealers and hiders and not some few only or many but all of them and not of few or only some sorts or numbers of their deeds but of all their ungodly deeds nor only of the substance of them but of all the circumstances and aggravations of them as ungodlily committed by them and not onely of their deeds but of their words also yea of their most secret thoughts subservient to both for they shall be convinced of them which conviction will reach the most secret workings of their spirits and both and all in the most large extent whatever hath been done or spoken against him that is Christ whereby mens sins are most hainously aggravated many ways though they little at present consider it but in Christs execution of Judgment upon all in his own order manner and time they must know all these This excellent Prophecy seems to have been handed in a wonderful way of gracious divine Providence from Enoch to the Apostle Jude by whose hand Christs spirit hath made it to become holy Scripture And it is no marvel that God should so preserve that Prophecy of the last times and things since he would for the warning of all have all his Prophets witness thereto as his Spirit in the Apostle Peter manifested Acts 3.20 21. As saith he he spake by the mouth of all his holy Prophets since the world began He would not have even the old wicked world without such an eminent warning nor such as godly Enoch then to be without the comfort of that Deliverer of his people then to come to recompence their sufferings for him with a suitable happiness with him afterwards as the Apostle Paul declareth 2 Tim. 2.12 for his said coming then is to both those purposes wherein the same Spirit could enlighten such as Enoch then as he did Abraham Isaac Jacob and Sarah afterwards who by their faith saw those Promises afar off while they lived on earth which they believed to see accomplished in their due time Heb. 11.13 viz. which will be at the said coming of the Lord with ten thousand of his Saints and at the Resurrection of the Just as Isa 26.14 19 which as it will be the year of the Lords recompence to take vengeance on the wicked quick by a sudden destruction to send them to hell so also of recompence to the godly to whom they will be times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord and of the restitution of all things for their real good and comfort in all that God hath before promised or revealed to such purpose Act. 3.19 20 21. though particular Saints have not or may not in many things attain to the knowledge of them nor haply any one shall in many things more till the fruition of them Even as the most knowing before Christs coming knew not of many things done at that his coming as of the Star the Shepherds of Herod's trouble at his birth nor the earthquake darkness the cleaving of the Vail of the Temple or dead Saints rising at his death c. besides the many things which happened in his life although much more of these last times since our Saviour ascended as he said a little before it Acts 1.8 ●is now revealed of his second coming as also was before in the Old Testament concerning the same than at any time was of his first as is easily to be observed c. III. Thirdly Foretold by Jacob in the New World Gen. 49. who verse 1. speaketh of things to be in the latter or postremity of days which is especially applicable to what he ●aith afterwards vers 10 11 12. in his Prophecy of Judah to which Tribe is therein ascribed the preheminence with plenty and peace as is therein manifest chiefly to be enjoyed after Shilo's coming to whom the gathering of the people should be but most especially in their greatest gatherings when Jews and Gentiles shall rejoyce together most eminently as Deut. 32.43 is by Moses also foretold to be in the latter or postremity of days of which times also our Saviour saith There shall be one sheepfold under himself that one Shepherd of them both John 10.16 IV. Fourthly Wonderfully and graciously manifested by Balaam's Parable not being an holy Prophet as others Acts 3.21 but a Sorcerer hired by Balaak King of Moah to curse Gods People who turned his attempting of the worst of Cursings into the choicest of Blessings to them giving him thereby to know That there was no enchantment against Jacob neither any divination against Israel for Satan cannot hurt those whom God undertakes to preserve as Numb 23.20 22. But when he had further tried his Enchantments Chap. 24 he is further in special forced to pronounce greater blessings for them vers 6 7 8 9. saying How goodly are thy Tents O Jacob and thy Tabernacles O Israel But being further urged by Balaak he shews what that People should do against his People in the latter days and then vers 17. falls upon the coming of the Messiah far off saying I shall see him but not now I shall behold him but not nigh There shall come a Star out of Jacob and a Scepter shall rise out of Israel and shall smite all the Corners of Moab and destroy all the Children of Sheth and Edom shall be a possession Seir also shall be a possession for his Enemies and Israel also shall do valiently And verse 19. Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have Dominion and shall destroy him that remaineth in the City c. But after all he comes to the last terrible times verse 23 24. saying Alas who shall live when God doth this And vers 24. he
