those_o scripture_n which_o do_v so_o clear_o demonstrate_v that_o which_o be_v here_o assert_v and_o the_o truth_n be_v the_o scripture_n be_v so_o pregnant_a and_o so_o full_a of_o such_o passage_n as_o it_o will_v be_v very_o tedious_a to_o mention_v they_o all_o and_o doubtless_o many_o saint_n be_v very_o well_o acquaint_v with_o they_o but_o for_o satisfaction_n to_o other_o i_o shall_v mention_v some_o of_o they_o and_o the_o first_o shall_v be_v that_o know_a place_n in_o the_o second_o psalm_n where_o it_o be_v clear_o assert_v that_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v in_o a_o most_o eminent_a manner_n be_v subject_v to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v rule_v over_o king_n prince_n and_o judge_n which_o will_v not_o obey_v he_o with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n and_o break_v they_o in_o piece_n like_o a_o potter_n vessel_n if_o they_o cast_v not_o their_o crown_n at_o his_o foot_n and_o kiss_v he_o with_o the_o kiss_n of_o faith_n and_o obedience_n in_o the_o three_o first_o verse_n of_o that_o psalm_n the_o prophet_n seem_v to_o have_v in_o his_o eye_n the_o rage_n of_o the_o heathen_a and_o the_o fury_n and_o the_o madness_n of_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n at_o that_o time_n when_o god_n shall_v set_v up_o the_o kingdom_n of_o jesus_n christ_n over_o the_o whole_a world_n as_o if_o that_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o see_v preparation_n unto_o such_o a_o thing_n that_o their_o spirit_n shall_v be_v present_o enrage_v and_o they_o their_o king_n and_o ruler_n especial_o shall_v set_v their_o whole_a

his_o christ_n or_o anoint_v they_o say_v among_o themselves_o come_v let_v we_o break_v their_o bond_n and_o cast_v away_o their_o cord_n from_o we_o but_o alas_o poor_a worm_n what_o do_v they_o he_o that_o sit_v in_o the_o heaven_n shall_v laugh_v say_v the_o psalmist_n 6._o psalmist_n vers_fw-la 4_o 5_o 6._o the_o lord_n shall_v have_v they_o in_o derision_n yea_o he_o shall_v speak_v unto_o they_o in_o his_o wrath_n and_o vex_v they_o in_o his_o sore_a displeasure_n when_o they_o shall_v so_o do_v and_o notwithstanding_o he_o will_v set_v his_o king_n upon_o his_o holy_a hill_n of_o zion_n and_o shall_v give_v he_o the_o heathen_a for_o his_o inheritance_n and_o the_o uttermost_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o his_o possession_n some_o of_o which_o be_v pertinacious_a and_o obstinate_a opposer_n he_o shall_v break_v with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n and_o dash_v they_o in_o piece_n like_o a_o potter_n vessel_n and_o therefore_o the_o spirit_n exhort_v all_o those_o king_n ruler_n and_o judge_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o be_v wise_a and_o receive_v this_o instruction_n even_o to_o kiss_v the_o son_n and_o and_o to_o serve_v the_o lord_n with_o fear_n and_o rejoice_v with_o

that_o day_n of_o the_o king_n the_o lord_n christ_n his_o exaltation_n he_o add_v bless_a be_v all_o they_o that_o wait_v for_o he_o thus_o this_o scripture_n full_o concurre_v with_o the_o present_a text_n in_o assert_v this_o thing_n that_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v subject_v to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o as_o it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o all_o dominion_n or_o as_o the_o word_n may_v be_v more_o right_o render_v all_o ruler_n must_v serve_v and_o obey_v he_o so_o the_o same_o be_v clear_o declare_v in_o this_o prophecy_n of_o the_o psalmist_n also_o the_o next_o scripture_n which_o i_o shall_v quote_v for_o the_o clear_n of_o this_o point_n shall_v be_v that_o in_o the_o 110_o psalm_n which_o be_v also_o very_o full_a to_o this_o purpose_n for_o there_o the_o psalmist_n speak_v of_o a_o time_n when_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n there_o style_v a_o priest_n for_o ever_o after_o the_o order_n of_o melchizedeck_v shall_v be_v set_v up_o and_o

people_n shall_v be_v willing_a in_o that_o day_n of_o his_o power_n so_o that_o hence_o it_o be_v clear_a also_o that_o there_o be_v a_o time_n come_v when_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v have_v the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n subject_v to_o he_o and_o because_o it_o be_v and_o will_v be_v so_o that_o when_o he_o come_v thus_o to_o rule_v and_o reign_v that_o many_o people_n but_o especial_o the_o great_a one_o king_n prince_n ruler_n and_o head_n of_o kingdom_n shall_v endeavour_v to_o oppose_v the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o so_o do_v therefore_o it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o he_o shall_v

a_o contemn_a people_n they_o shall_v now_o be_v a_o eternal_a excellency_n and_o the_o joy_n of_o many_o generation_n thus_o in_o this_o scripture_n be_v this_o truth_n most_o evident_o demonstrate_v that_o there_o must_v be_v such_o
that_o be_v do_v unto_o they_o and_o love_v their_o enemy_n and_o do_v good_a to_o they_o that_o hate_v they_o these_o thing_n may_v they_o do_v and_o yet_o ought_v they_o not_o to_o leave_v the_o other_o undo_v but_o this_o may_v by_o the_o way_n be_v consider_v that_o there_o have_v be_v time_n when_o there_o be_v never_o a_o good_a magistrate_n in_o the_o world_n and_o then_o be_v it_o the_o duty_n of_o saint_n to_o be_v whole_o passive_a and_o observe_v the_o forementioned_a rule_n of_o patient_a suffering_n but_o when_o providence_n so_o order_v it_o as_o to_o place_n in_o authority_n godly_a man_n then_o we_o see_v it_o clear_v that_o they_o shall_v neglect_v their_o duty_n if_o they_o shall_v not_o protect_v those_o that_o do_v well_o from_o the_o wicked_a cruelty_n of_o evil_a doer_n and_o thus_o the_o objection_n be_v answer_v and_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o it_o be_v lawful_a in_o gospel_n time_n for_o saint_n to_o fight_v against_o such_o as_o will_v murder_v and_o destroy_v they_o as_o the_o associate_n of_o the_o beast_n will_v nay_o it_o be_v not_o only_o lawful_a to_o do_v it_o but_o it_o will_v be_v their_o sin_n if_o they_o shall_v not_o do_v it_o godly_a magistrate_n will_v sin_v if_o they_o do_v bear_v the_o sword_n in_o vain_a and_o do_v not_o punish_v evil_a doer_n and_o godly_a subject_n will_v sin_n if_o they_o shall_v not_o obey_v the_o magistrate_n when_o he_o require_v they_o to_o do_v this_o lawful_a thing_n which_o be_v to_o be_v assistant_n to_o he_o in_o punish_v of_o evil_a doer_n and_o thus_o have_v i_o answer_v this_o sufficient_o if_o i_o shall_v not_o add_v any_o thing_n else_o in_o answer_n but_o second_o in_o answer_n to_o such_o as_o make_v this_o objection_n that_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o those_o that_o will_v live_v godly_a in_o christ_n jesus_n must_v suffer_v persecution_n and_o it_o be_v a_o truth_n in_o the_o apostle_n time_n and_o have_v be_v so_o for_o

those_o that_o have_v act_v by_o authority_n from_o they_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o this_o will_v always_o hold_v a_o truth_n that_o the_o saint_n shall_v be_v always_o sufferer_n but_o the_o contrary_n be_v clear_a and_o i_o know_v none_o that_o deny_v it_o but_o that_o as_o the_o saint_n have_v have_v a_o suffer_a time_n so_o they_o shall_v have_v a_o time_n of_o deliverance_n and_o freedom_n from_o suffer_v and_o the_o rod_n of_o the_o wicked_a shall_v not_o always_o rest_v upon_o the_o lot_n of_o the_o righteous_a but_o god_n will_v though_o he_o have_v bear_v 7._o bear_v luke_n 18._o 7._o long_o at_o last_o avenge_v the_o quarrel_n of_o his_o people_n upon_o their_o enemy_n and_o though_o for_o this_o 1500_o or_o 1600_o year_n god_n have_v appoint_v his_o people_n thus_o long_o to_o a_o suffer_a condition_n he_o never_o call_v his_o people_n to_o do_v justice_n upon_o their_o enemy_n as_o he_o do_v his_o people_n of_o old_a oftentimes_o under_o the_o law_n as_o in_o the_o time_n of_o joshua_n and_o of_o the_o judge_n and_o david_n etc._n etc._n yet_o it_o follow_v not_o out_o that_o he_o may_v do_v it_o now_o for_o it_o be_v not_o where_o say_v that_o now_o in_o the_o latter_a day_n when_o the_o time_n of_o the_o saint_n deliverance_n come_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o by_o the_o sword_n as_o israel_n of_o old_a do_v subdue_v the_o enemy_n of_o god_n which_o be_v also_o their_o enemy_n i_o say_v it_o be_v not_o where_o say_v they_o shall_v not_o so_o do_v but_o in_o several_a place_n it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o shall_v so_o do_v as_o in_o that_o

that_o the_o saint_n shall_v execute_v vengeance_n upon_o the_o heathen_a and_o punishment_n upon_o the_o people_n and_o bound_v their_o king_n in_o chain_n and_o their_o noble_n in_o fetter_n of_o

do_v these_o thing_n and_o this_o be_v clear_a likewise_o in_o the_o 110_o psalm_n where_o the_o psalmist_n speak_v express_o of_o the_o time_n when_o the_o enemy_n of_o christ_n shall_v be_v make_v

what_o the_o external_a privilege_n of_o the_o saint_n shall_v then_o be_v but_o first_o i_o shall_v premise_v these_o three_o thing_n first_o that_o though_o the_o external_a privilege_n of_o the_o

people_n who_o be_v in_o this_o frame_n and_o to_o none_o but_o such_o who_o heart_n be_v thus_o spiritual_a and_o who_o so_o little_a regard_n these_o thing_n in_o comparison_n of_o spiritual_a even_o to_o such_o will_v god_n in_o these_o time_n we_o be_v speak_v of_o abundant_o give_v not_o only_o these_o spiritual_a enjoyment_n and_o privilege_n but_o all_o other_o thing_n shall_v be_v

what_o the_o outward_a glory_n of_o it_o shall_v be_v be_v in_o part_n express_v in_o the_o follow_a word_n for_o brass_n i_o will_v bring_v gold_n and_o for_o iron_n i_o will_v bring_v silver_n and_o for_o wood_n brass_n and_o for_o stone_n iron_n these_o be_v the_o thing_n wherein_o the_o external_a glory_n of_o a_o land_n consist_v and_o he_o say_v withal_o that_o they_o shall_v suck_v the_o

of_o grace_n in_o those_o heart_n where_o eminent_o it_o shine_v before_o they_o do_v possess_v so_o much_o of_o the_o world_n and_o since_o they_o have_v have_v much_o of_o the_o world_n they_o

plentiful_a and_o full_a in_o the_o declare_v of_o it_o and_o since_o it_o be_v his_o pleasure_n in_o these_o late_a day_n to_o deliver_v the_o creature_n from_o the_o bondage_n of_o corruption_n and_o to_o restore_v all_o these_o outward_a thing_n to_o their_o primitive_a goodness_n and_o glory_n that_o his_o people_n may_v see_v how_o good_a these_o lefthand-mercy_n if_o i_o may_v so_o term_v they_o be_v which_o for_o their_o use_n be_v appoint_v that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v full_o sensible_a of_o his_o goodness_n therein_o i_o say_v since_o he_o have_v thus_o appoint_v and_o the_o scripture_n full_o declare_v he_o will_v do_v it_o why_o shall_v it_o be_v doubt_v but_o second_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o these_o outward_a enjoyment_n do_v prove_v and_o have_v prove_v snare_n let_v that_o be_v consider_v which_o i_o have_v already_o say_v how_o that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v with_o the_o saint_n in_o these_o time_n as_o it_o have_v be_v former_o but_o that_o the_o spirit_n shall_v be_v more_o abundant_o pour_v out_o upon_o saint_n than_o it_o have_v be_v and_o if_o thou_o that_o so_o objecte_v consider_v it_o than_o thou_o will_v see_v that_o the_o spirit_n be_v so_o glorious_o enjoy_v will_v preserve_v saint_n from_o be_v so_o snare_v &_o overtake_v with_o the_o temptation_n of_o the_o world_n as_o too_o many_o former_o have_v be_v and_o three_o whereas_o thou_o say_v that_o many_o now_o be_v snare_v with_o the_o world_n i_o desire_v thou_o to_o consider_v first_o whether_o such_o as_o be_v so_o snare_v and_o carry_v away_o with_o the_o world_n from_o their_o first_o love_n have_v ever_o any_o love_n to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o sincerity_n whether_o they_o be_v not_o as_o the_o thorny_a ground_n or_o the_o stony_a ground_n that_o never_o have_v good_a root_n never_o have_v indeed_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o son_n in_o they_o but_o seem_v to_o receive_v the_o word_n but_o it_o be_v but_o with_o outward_a flash_n of_o joy_n or_o second_o if_o they_o true_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o jesus_n whether_o it_o be_v not_o in_o a_o weak_a and_o a_o low_a degree_n for_o thou_o shall_v find_v that_o those_o that_o have_v a_o high_a measure_n of_o the_o spirit_n they_o though_o they_o be_v great_a in_o the_o world_n be_v as_o full_a of_o life_n and_o vigour_n and_o of_o fervent_a love_n to_o christ_n as_o those_o that_o be_v mean_a and_o walk_v as_o humble_o as_o any_o of_o they_o nay_o some_o of_o those_o that_o god_n have_v give_v great_a outward_a preferment_n unto_o and_o have_v much_o of_o the_o world_n in_o their_o possession_n do_v far_o exceed_v many_o of_o those_o saint_n that_o be_v of_o more_o inferior_a rank_n in_o the_o world_n and_o go_v beyond_o they_o in_o zeal_n and_o fervency_n of_o spirit_n and_o be_v exemplary_a in_o a_o holy_a humble_a and_o unspotted_a conversation_n therefore_o if_o some_o be_v corrupt_a and_o cold_a and_o carnal_a that_o have_v much_o of_o these_o outward_a thing_n impute_v it_o not_o to_o those_o outward_a thing_n which_o simple_o consider_v in_o themselves_o have_v no_o evil_n in_o they_o but_o impute_v it_o to_o that_o corrupt_a heart_n that_o so_o abuse_v these_o enjoyment_n again_o fourthly_a consider_v what_o i_o have_v already_o say_v viz._n that_o the_o chief_a of_o the_o saint_n comfort_n in_o these_o time_n will_v consist_v in_o their_o inward_a enjoyment_n and_o those_o that_o be_v true_o spiritual_a and_o shall_v indeed_o be_v account_v worthy_a to_o stand_v before_o the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o that_o day_n shall_v be_v such_o who_o heart_n be_v set_v upon_o desire_v the_o spiritual_a enjoyment_n of_o this_o kingdom_n above_o all_o thing_n else_o and_o to_o such_o these_o thing_n shall_v be_v add_v but_o let_v such_o who_o more_o desire_v outward_a comfort_n then_o spiritual_a enjoyment_n and_o manifest_v it_o by_o their_o present_a unjust_a scrape_n of_o these_o outward_a thing_n together_o know_v that_o they_o shall_v in_o that_o day_n enjoy_v neither_o the_o one_o nor_o the_o other_o comfortable_o as_o appear_v isai_n 65._o 13_o 14_o 20._o and_o so_o much_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o objection_n a_o querie_n but_o second_o it_o may_v be_v query_v whether_o when_o the_o saint_n shall_v enjoy_v all_o these_o thing_n they_o shall_v not_o follow_v their_o several_a employment_n and_o vocation_n as_o now_o they_o do_v a_o answer_n to_o the_o querie_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v yes_o it_o be_v clear_a they_o shall_v follow_v several_a employment_n as_o now_o they_o do_v but_o doubtless_o in_o a_o more_o regular_a and_o more_o excellent_a and_o comfortable_a way_n then_o many_o now_o do_v i._n e._n some_o shall_v not_o labour_v and_o toil_n day_n and_o night_n scarce_o allow_v themselves_o any_o time_n to_o spend_v in_o the_o performance_n of_o holy_a duty_n or_o for_o lawful_a and_o convenient_a recreation_n to_o maintain_v other_o that_o live_v vicious_o in_o idleness_n drunkenness_n and_o other_o evil_a practice_n i_o say_v it_o shall_v not_o be_v thus_o then_o such_o idle_a and_o profane_a creature_n shall_v then_o have_v no_o allowance_n or_o sufferance_n to_o live_v such_o life_n as_o now_o they_o do_v but_o to_o the_o question_n that_o man_n shall_v then_o follow_v their_o several_a employment_n and_o calling_n be_v clear_a in_o these_o scripture_n amos_n 9_o 13._o behold_v in_o that_o day_n say_v the_o lord_n the_o ploughman_n shall_v overtake_v the_o reaper_n and_o the_o treader_n of_o grape_n he_o that_o sow_v seed_n
