THE DOWNFALL of the Fifth Monarchy OR The personal Reign of Christ on Earth confuted Discovering the desperate and dangerous Principles and Designes of these frenzy-conceited men of the Fifth Monarchy who pretending to do the work of their generations seek to involve these Nations again in bloud and misery had not the Lord prevented them in their designe With a brief manifestation of the true generation work which every good Christian ought to do JOH 18. 36. My Kingdome saith our Saviour is not of this World LUK. 19. 14. Wee will not have this man to reign over us The Lord hath roused them up London Printed for John Andrews at the White Lion in the Old-Baily 1657.

The Lord hath propered his throne in the heaven and his Kingdome uleth over all Psal 245. 13. Thy Kingdome is an everlasting Kingdom and thy dominion endureth throughout all ages Heb. 1. 9. But unto the Son saith he thy chrone O God is for ever and ever a Scepter of reghteousness is the Scepter of thy Kingdome THe great designe of the Devil beloved in all ages hath been to undermine the Church and People of God and to seduce poor souls by drawing and entising them into most desperate and gross errours the better to do this he sometimes ransforms himself into an Angel of Light which designe of his as it hath been vatiously caried on and managed in all Ages so most especially in this last and worst ●ge of the world wherein we live Among many other stratagems and devices which the Devil hath to delude people one main if not chief designe of his hath been to exalt his Kingdome by infusing strange and unheard of principles and opinions into the hearts and minds of men in which exploit of his he hath very notably like a cunning deceiver acted his part in this last age of the world in which we live witness his notable delusions of thousands of poor ignorant souls into strange and unheard of principles among many other our late Quakers in whom how greatly he hath prevailed the Lord knowes hath too too evidently been seen in our days but the folly and madness of these simple sottish deluders and deceivers hath been sufficiently declared to the world Another sort more seeming wise and confident then these are such as now among us are known by the name of Fifth Monarchy men that are for their generation work as they sa● but not in their actions whose windy principles by reason of the eminency of some chief deluders of that Sect hath not a little poysoned and infected the mindes and spirits of many thousands of male-contented persons among us and this Leven of their false doctrine hath so wrought with them as that they dare desperately set themselves to throw down and oppose all both Government and Governors that shall stand in the way of their designes under pretence of setting up the Kingdom of Christ in the earty and doing the works of their generation as if they would cross God himself and appoint him what Government and Governours he shall set up Who setteth up one and pulleth down another and there is nothing that may say unto him what doest thou but as God hath discovered and disowned as well in his providential actings as in his holy word the designes of all other deluders hitherto blessed bee God so likewise hath he now of late the design of those over-confident and self-opinionated persons who cry up the personal reign of Christ on earth and doing the works of their generation the great work wherein these super-confident men have most busied and imployed both their wits and parts hath been mainly to throw down whatsoever in the world crosseth or opposerh their designes Witness that notable but perniticus design of theirs lately on foot against the Ministers and Ministry of Christ a most notable and cunning device of the Devil in which most destructive design the Devil and all his instruments are most deeply engaged in but as God was then pleased to blast that wretched design of theirs against the whole Ministry and School of good learning so I hope he will still be pleased to ensnare them in all their undertakings whatsoever The great policy of these men is to lay down all both Learning Ministry and Governours though never so just and right as Antichristian and Babylonish thereby I ying an odium as it were upon the ways and institutions of Christ himself that so by their specious pretences they may work themselvs and their doctrines into the good opinions of such whose affections like filly people are itching after Novelty But how greatly Antichristian these men are in those and all other their designes I shall here endeavour God willing to manifest and declare to all the world First these generation Work-men both in their Writings and preaching labour to possess mens minds heads and hearts with fond faneies and conceits of the Personal of Reign of Christ for a thousand years upon earth which doctrine is both erroneous and also Antichristian having no foundation or footing in the blessed Word of God and is also derogatory to the honour and dignity of the Lord Jesus Christ himself For our Saviour Christ himself Joh. 18. 36. saith expresly that his Kingdome is not of this world And if not of this world then no personal raign upon earth Secondly Jesus Christ when he left the world ascended 〈…〉 heaven and is there sate down at the right hand of God the Father from whence he will not return till such time as he shall come to judgement I will come again saith Christ Joh. 14. 3. to his Disciples but mark the words it shall be not to raign personally upon earth with you but to receive you to my self that where I am there yee may bee also which is at the right hand of God the Father in heaven We have not any one place or text of Scripture which mentions any comming of Christ to raign upon earth in his humane nature personally which these men fondly dream of We read indeed of a second comming of Christ but then it is to judgement Jude 14. 15. Behold the Lord commeth saith
