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

FIrst promised by God the Father Gen. 3.15 as the most eminent breaking of the Serpents Satans Head both natural as I may say and politick of his Craft and Dominion when all his former Babylonish Designs shall be defeated and utterly destroyed which was saith the Apostle John 1 Epist 3.8 one end of Christs coming into the world to destroy the works of the Devil which in an especial manner will most evidently and powerfully be done when Christ comes from the right hand of the Father whither as that Nobleman in the Gospel Luke 19. he went at his ascention into Heaven te receive his Kingdom and to return as he himself speaketh to wit when he will so come and in such wonderful manner make his foes his footstool until which said time he will continue there according to that Divine Oracle so frequently mentioned and improved in the New Testament Psal 110.1 c. Sit thou on my right hand until I make thy soes thy sootstool VVhere as the Apostle saith he sits still expecting till his foes are made his footstool Heb. 10.13 which at Christs said coming in the Clouds will most certainly and powerfully be accomplished above 1000 years before the last Resurrection and General Judgment as is most orderly set down in that divine and glorious Revelation to St. John Chap. 19 11. Chap. 20. to v. 11. when he will cause his most proud and mighty foes to hide themselves again in the holes of the Rocks as in some measure in Constantines ruining of the Paganish Powers Rev. 6.15.16 17 was terribly fulfilled but at the last ruine of the most abominably tyrannous Kingdom of the Beast and false Prophet at the appearance of Christs said Coming and Kingdom will much more terribly by himself be accomplished 1 Thes 2.8 2 Tim 4.1 As then the Prophet Isaiah twice of those times confirms the terrour of it Chap 2. verse 19 21. That the loftiness of man shall be bowed down and the haughtiness of man shall be made low and the Lord alone be exalted in that day when he wid utterly abolish Idols that they may go into the holes of the Rocks and into the caves of the Earth for fear of the Lord and for the glory of his Majesty when he ariseth to shake terribly the Earth And the forcible efficacy of this his Prophecy he again further illustrates and confirms verse 20 21.

Of which Prophesie and Vision this glorious appearance made by Christ of his next coming chap. 19 11. is a clear comment and decyphered completion shortly to take place as we have reason to expect and also to be fully accomplished accordingly And then likewise together with Babilons ruine will happily hasten the raising up of Sion And upon Antichrists destruction will certainly succeed Christs said so wonderful exaltation in in the world in that his Divine and Kingly visible Glory and Majesty then to be manifest namely to be the Prince of the Kings of the earth as Rev. 1.5 though formerly rejected by such many times and that in the sight of men angels and all creatures Rev. 5.9 10 11 12 13. who shall then bow the knee and acknowledge him to be the Lord Phil. 2.9 for which at present the whole creation most he●vily groaneth Rom. 8.22 23.
