eldest Son of Noah who both of them lived in both the Old and the New Worlds by both holding out unto us the Eternity of God the Father and the Son from whom the Worlds deliverance was fully in time to be accomplished But Melchisedeck as also Abraham was both a Priest and King even as Abraham who seemed not onely to be a King by his said Conquest but a Priest●n offering his Son Isaac whom saith the Apostle he received again from death in a figure and was then appointed really to offer the Ram in the Bush in his stead and was also said in some sence to be a Prophet to pray for Abimelech Gen 20.7 Also Melchisedeck was Priest of the most high God without Father and without Mother then known in Abraham's days typifying the eternal Priesthood of Christ after his order Heb. 7. and also King of Salem that is King of Peace typifying also thereby Christ the great King of the New Jerusalem to come from God out of Heaven as he stile himself Matth. 5. which as the Son and Heir of Abraham doth also according to Gods Covenant belong unto him and sion it it is very observable that Christs Office and Title to his Kingdom is cont●aally confirmed and renewed in all the renewed Promises and Types made by God to and by the faithful foreFathers successively as also Melchisedeck is here expresly said to be King of Salem an evident Type of Christ the great King of Jerusalem as was said who doth and will bless his People with all desirable peace as Melchisedeck blessed Abraham returning with the spoi●s from the slaughter of the said Kings as Christ will also more fully confirm to them when all his and their Foes are made his footstool Secondly Christs Kingdom in the said two-sold state of it was evidently deciphered in Moses his Conduct of Israel out of Egypt and in the Wilderness and then by Joshua's Conduct into Canaan But Christ to answer both doth not onely spiritually by his Death Resurrection and Ascertion deliver his Israel and leave them then in their Wilderness condition but as the true Joshua also or JESVS will save them from all evil and from all their enemies Luc. 1. and bring them into possession of the heavenly Canaan as it is stiled Heb. 3. being the City whose Builder and Maker is God prepared for the faithful fore-fathers Heb. 11. And first for Moses who was then stiled King in Jesurun as to Christs Ch rches first sta●e during the Kingdom of the Stone set up by his first coming Dan. 2.34 In respect of which though Moses as the Apostle Paul speaketh was faithful in all Gods House Heb. 3.2 yet but as a Servant and M●nister of the Lord the Antitype for he made or gave no Laws then of his own to Gods people but what he received from God for them nor executed Judgment in extraordinary cases but by Gods direction as in the gathering sticks on the Sabbath day But Christ was as a Son when he came in his own House Heb. 5.6 whose House his People are What Gospel Moses taught Israel or set before them then was but in the ●ype till the t●me of Reformation Heb 9.10 till Christ put an end to a●l typical worship Bu● Moses could not bring them to the promised Rest that he left for Jos●ua to perform So all the life and substance of all Moses ●ypes and Ceremon●s was onely to be sound in Christ He the true and onely Son of God carr●ed ●ll those things to their full and perfect end who will be the true peace and rest of his People in the Land of the Living as that World to come Heb. 2 5. is most properly so stiled where Abraham Isaac and Jacob must then live again with all the Faithful in their order and time But that latter stare of Christs said Mediators Kingdom on Earth as we noted was further typified in part by Joshua though in the better part under whose Cond●ct Israel obtained their promised Inheritance of Canaan wherein Moses carre sh●rt but be brought them in●o the possession of it Which Rest was after po●●u●ed by them as saith the Prophet Mich. 2.10 which caused by degrees the utter expulsion of that People from it Yet as the Apostle proveth Heb 49. There remai●s still a Sabbatism or Rest for the People of God with whom one day is as a thousand years and a theusand years as one day as the Apostle Peter informs us 2 Pet. 3.9 and through the said true Jeshu● or JESVS this Rest remairs to the People of God upon w c● ●s on all former Sabbaths the Word and Works of God usually were appointed to be considered in them as he was always p●eased in ●he six ●oregoing Millenniums to give occasion and command so t●at long conti●ned Sabbatism or holy Rest of his people from sin and sorrow will be a time to contemplate on the Word and Works of God when their great hinderers viz. evil men and Devils will be removed ou● of their way and all requisite helps from God Men and 〈◊〉 will be afforded them for that long continued Sabbatism of that 〈◊〉 thousand years whence Men and Angels too will be more fitted for perpetual Hallelujahs in Heaven afterwards by so much more than they could have been from all that was possible to be learned by them to such purpose by all they had seen or known or heard before as I don't not but might largely be made manifest through all the six thou and years of the worlds being before Which Sabbatism may be thereupon sitly stiled Gods highest School to train up his Children of the highest form for their best employment of their most eminent and inlarged praising of God through their most happy Eternity thence to ensue In which Rest or Sabbatism Christ will infeoff his People and give them possession thereof with himself even as the Father hath appointed such a Kingdom unto him so he will appoint it unto them as Luc. 22.29 not as a Substitute onely or Type like Jeshua to give them their Lots therein but as Lord of the Inheritance and by his own Gift and not as to such as may cast away or spoil or lose their said Inheritance but as to such as shall there find a sure Rest and Dwelling Place from which neither inward nor outward spiritual or temporal Adversaries shall expel them so certainly blessed shall they be then that partake of that first blessed Resurrection Rev. 20.6 when they shall be 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 like Angels of God in Heaven as our Saviour speaks of those Children of the Resurrection Matth. 22.30 in that and many other respects and such of the Saints as live in the animal Life then under the Protection of Christ the great King will be as safe as his Disciples were of whom he said Of those which thou gavest me have I lost none John 17. Yea more his Word seems in many places to hold out that the

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

was also stiled by Christ The Kingdom of God that was foretold by him should draw near at hand when Israel's great Redemption so often spoken of in the Prophets shall be accomplished and upon the beholding the signs thereof he bids the Jews lift up their heads because their Redemption then draws near as is very evident from Luc. 21.31 of which our Saviour spake in a Parable Luc. 21.11 12 24 27. the time whereof is explained in the order of accomplishment Rev. 11.15 as is easily discernable to such as are acquainted with the Series of that Book which said Davidical Kingdom of the Son of man shall begin in the world as Daniel declares Chap. 7.13 14. at his coming in the Clouds of Heaven which Christ himself also further illustrates shewing it shall be with his own Glory and of the Fathers and of his holy Angels Luc. 9 2● when ten thousand times ten thousand shall minister to him and stand before him Dan. 7.10 when the Judgment is set to destroy the ●●ast and give his Body to the burning ●l●me vers 11. All which Tex●s 〈◊〉 holy Scripture will be fulfilled above a thousand years before the Resurrection of wicked men to the general Judgment as is most evident from the series and order of things set down ●oth by Daniel and more fully explained in the Book of Revelation especially in the twentieth Chapter the most clear Table of these last times and order of things to be done in them for which purpose also consider the foresaid Parallel XI Eleventhly Being also so Expounded by the Apostle Paul and others of the Apostles concerning which Doctrine fi●st the Apostle Paul delivereth many things by way of explication thereof we shall touch upon some of them briefly First When he comforts the troubled Saints that they shall have Rest with him and other Apostles and Sairts whilst Christ will ●e●der tribulation to such as troubled them ●e s●●s down that time to be when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed with his mighty Angels in ●laming 〈…〉 taking vengeance on them that know not God and they not the Gosp●● of our Lord Jesus Christ c. 2 Thes 1.7 8 9. and in Chap 2.8 〈…〉 further from Dan. 7. that Mother-Text as M● Mede 〈…〉 of all such Scriptures in the New Testament That Christ will particularly destroy that man of 〈◊〉 the same appearance of 〈◊〉 coming or presence when the body of the s ame Beast a● w●s sai● shall be ●●ven to the burning ●l●me as Dan. 7.11 which ●e al●o ●art●●r d●c●●●●reth by his Appearance and Kingdom 2 Tim 4.1 as also was by Daniel seen in vision c. Again He further informs us strongly That Christ must reig● till he hath put all his Enemies under his ●eet 1 Cor. 15.25 Now when he most eminently begins to do this ●is said Reign begins for ti●l ●h●n he sits at the Fathers right hand yea and sits there exp●cting til● th●● time come as the same Apostle manifestly declares Heb 10.12 13. and at that time the Beast is expresly said to be cast into the lake of fire burning with brimston after the language of that most acred Prophecy And to make his Exposition yet more clear and forcible he further teacheth That the last Enemy that shall be destroyed in the said Reign of Christ shall be Death viz. Bodily Death that separates Soul and Body not the death of Soul and Body for that thereupon will begin most to reign and to reign over the Damned eternally but the other namely the death of the Body shall be destroyed and cast into the lake burning with fire and brimstone that is in its capacity and after the language of Cods Spirit in that Book the very being of it as the general Destroyer of humane Nature in this life will be taken away when no such matter will remain for it to work upon when all Saints are rapt up to meet Christ in the air in a moment and wicked men stand in their state to be judged the present being of Humane Nature separable of Soul and Body will be utterly abolished Now this said destruction of bodily Death that last Enemy will not be effected till above a thousand years after the coming of the Son of man in the Clouds of Heaven as was said and after the said casting of the Beast and false Prophet into the said lake burning with brimstone as is very evident from Rev. 19.20 compared with the order of the said Table of the Times in Chap. 20. to vers 14. where Death and Hell are also said to be cast into the lake of fire that is Death and the Grave in the said sence have no more use or matter to work upon and by consequence no more being in the world And whoso faithfully and seriously endeavours rightly to weigh and consider these things without partiallity or prepossession which at first may seem an hard thing for some sorts of men to perform yet upon such endeavour with humble seeking unto God for direction in these truths and faithful and patient waiting upon him in the use of pertinent means I doubt not but in Gods good time they may be well satisfied from h●s Word and good Spirit of Grace in the reallity and truth of the su●stance of them for which purpose I conceive it not needful here to say more for information or conviction which is mainly my business and for particul●r application hereof it will be obvious to all knowing and pious Christ●ans which I am forced to leave to themselves at present for brevity-sake publishing by Press having long been to me a difficult task and when a Doctrinal Foundation in this case is once surely laid application of these with some points of such nature will in some respect be made à fortiori as from an additional consideration but yet a very weighty and moving consideration i● particularities therein to be considered in their several kinds and natures be duly improved by Scripture-guidance and the holy Spirit of Gods gracious assistance the infallible means of being rightly guided into all needful profitable Divine Truth as all holy Scripture-Truths are and these in particular though too much over-look'd and sl●ghted by some though the great things of God and an excellent and glorious part of the Gospel of Christ a rich and long inheritance of the Saints yea as we noted the highest form of God-glorifying Creatures then viz. Saints and Angels to fit them wonderfully above all other means in the preceding six thousand years to glorifie him more excellently for ever and ever We shall but even mention some like evidences from the other Apostles Peter James and John the Witnesses at Christs Transfiguration who then joyntly saw that representation of Christs glory at his coming in his Kingdom for he calls that his coming in that sence Matth. 16.28 Mark 9.1 when those eminent glorified Saints and Prophets Moses and Elias appeared talking with him First Peter sets forth the beginning
