will_v not_o hide_v it_o from_o his_o choose_a one_o and_o certain_o god_n will_v not_o suffer_v they_o to_o act_v as_o they_o do_v as_o to_o endeavour_v to_o build_v up_o the_o state_n that_o be_v fall_v and_o shall_v the_o saint_n build_v babel_n sure_o this_o be_v a_o very_a preposterous_a thing_n and_o certain_o this_o be_v not_o a_o truth_n hold_v answer_n that_o the_o saint_n shall_v endeavour_v with_o all_o their_o might_n to_o heal_v babel_n according_a to_o the_o appointment_n of_o god_n as_o in_o jerem._n 51._o 8_o 9_o where_o it_o be_v say_v babylon_n be_v sudden_o fall_v howl_v for_o babylon_n take_v balm_n for_o her_o pain_n if_o so_o be_v she_o may_v be_v heal_v and_o when_o the_o saint_n have_v endavour_v what_o they_o can_v to_o heal_v she_o than_o they_o take_v up_o this_o sad_a expression_n we_o will_v have_v heal_v babel_n but_o she_o be_v not_o heal_v let_v we_o leave_v she_o and_o depart_v every_o one_o to_o his_o own_o country_n for_o her_o judgement_n reach_v unto_o heaven_n and_o be_v lift_v up_o to_o the_o sky_n now_o i_o shall_v give_v a_o answer_n to_o some_o question_n and_o some_o objection_n and_o so_o close_o up_o the_o first_o question_n how_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o when_o the_o saint_n depart_v out_o of_o the_o land_n of_o their_o nativity_n they_o go_v unto_o their_o own_o country_n if_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o a_o local_a separation_n unto_o this_o i_o answer_v the_o land_n of_o our_o nativity_n be_v not_o their_o own_o country_n to_o the_o saint_n if_o in_o such_o a_o place_n they_o be_v in_o bondage_n for_o how_o be_v the_o land_n of_o egypt_n the_o own_o country_n to_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n though_o it_o be_v the_o land_n of_o their_o nativity_n and_o so_o be_v babylon_n to_o many_o of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n but_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n be_v the_o place_n of_o their_o rest_n and_o so_o god_n have_v prepare_v a_o wilderness_n for_o the_o saint_n to_o depart_v into_o when_o he_o shall_v gather_v they_o from_o the_o land_n of_o their_o captivity_n not_o a_o wilderness_n where_o there_o be_v want_n of_o all_o thing_n but_o where_o there_o shall_v be_v abundance_n both_o of_o spiritual_a and_o temporal_a enjoyment_n as_o can_v be_v prove_v by_o the_o scripture_n before_o quote_v which_o be_v a_o undoubted_a truth_n as_o well_o in_o a_o literal_a sense_n as_o spiritual_a i_o say_v it_o may_v appear_v to_o be_v a_o wilderness_n for_o the_o present_a to_o the_o carnal_a sense_n but_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o long_o for_o the_o scripture_n do_v prefix_v a_o time_n rev._n 12._o a_o time_n and_o half_o a_o time_n that_o be_v three_o year_n and_o a_o half_a and_o then_o when_o that_o time_n be_v accomplish_v as_o in_o isai._n 31._o the_o solitary_a place_n and_o the_o wilderness_n shall_v rejoice_v for_o they_o and_o the_o desert_n shall_v blossom_v like_o a_o rose_n the_o second_o question_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n if_o god_n will_v gather_v his_o people_n out_o of_o their_o land_n he_o do_v so_o hide_v it_o from_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o saint_n for_o there_o be_v not_o one_o among_o a_o thousand_o of_o your_o judgement_n unto_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o lord_n do_v thus_o hide_v it_o from_o his_o saint_n for_o divers_a reason_n first_o because_o he_o will_v have_v they_o endeavour_v vi_o and_o armis_fw-la id_fw-la est_fw-la by_o force_n and_o might_n to_o heal_v babel_n which_o if_o it_o be_v make_v know_v unto_o they_o that_o all_o their_o labour_n be_v in_o vain_a they_o will_v not_o trouble_v themselves_o any_o further_o but_o god_n will_v have_v it_o so_o because_o he_o will_v render_v his_o saint_n a_o righteous_a people_n unto_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v acknowledge_v short_o when_o as_o they_o shall_v say_v in_o the_o word_n follow_v the_o lord_n have_v bring_v forth_o our_o righteousness_n let_v we_o declare_v in_o zion_n the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n the_o second_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v thus_o hide_a because_o if_o it_o be_v reveal_v the_o people_n of_o god_n will_v be_v so_o impatient_a under_o these_o suffering_n that_o they_o will_v make_v too_o much_o haste_n and_o be_v go_v before_o that_o god_n have_v finish_v his_o work_n on_o mount_n zion_n which_o he_o have_v appoint_v for_o babylon_n to_o do_v in_o the_o cruel_a use_n of_o the_o saint_n unto_o the_o mortify_n of_o the_o flesh_n in_o they_o and_o the_o only_a and_o true_a reason_n that_o god_n do_v reveal_v it_o to_o so_o few_o be_v because_o there_o be_v no_o considerable_a part_n of_o the_o church_n in_o a_o capacity_n to_o apprehend_v such_o a_o mercy_n as_o to_o have_v a_o deliverance_n out_o of_o such_o bondage_n as_o we_o be_v in_o to_o who_o the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o reveal_v these_o thing_n unto_o our_o great_a consolation_n in_o the_o time_n of_o our_o great_a dolour_n and_o extremity_n now_o i_o shall_v answer_v to_o some_o objection_n first_o of_o all_o it_o may_v be_v object_v how_o can_v it_o be_v make_v appear_v that_o there_o be_v more_o excellency_n in_o the_o foot_n and_o toe_n of_o the_o great_a image_n then_o in_o the_o head_n of_o gold_n unto_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v in_o divers_a particular_n as_o it_o be_v hold_v forth_o in_o the_o letter_n as_o first_o there_o be_v more_o excellency_n in_o the_o foot_n and_o toe_n then_o in_o the_o head_n of_o gold_n because_o the_o foot_n and_o toe_n which_o be_v partly_o of_o potter_n clay_n and_o partly_o of_o iron_n have_v mix_v themselves_o with_o the_o seed_n of_o man_n and_o so_o upon_o this_o account_n the_o seed_n of_o man_n be_v more_o precious_a than_o the_o golden_a wedge_n of_o ophir_n for_o none_o will_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o body_n of_o the_o mean_a man_n in_o the_o world_n be_v more_o worth_a than_o raiment_n and_o so_o of_o gold_n and_o whatsoever_o we_o look_v on_o as_o excellent_a now_o this_o be_v clear_a in_o the_o letter_n in_o a_o spiritual_a sense_n the_o foot_n and_o toe_n of_o the_o great_a image_n be_v more_o excellent_a because_o they_o have_v mix_v themselves_o with_o the_o seed_n of_o man_n now_o the_o seed_n of_o man_n in_o this_o nature_n be_v the_o saint_n unto_o this_o it_o may_v be_v object_v how_o can_v that_o be_v for_o the_o saint_n be_v but_o man_n as_o other_o as_o it_o be_v speak_v of_o elias_n and_o moses_n and_o all_o the_o faithful_a and_o so_o they_o have_v their_o infirmity_n as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v unto_o this_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o saint_n be_v man_n and_o subject_a to_o infirmity_n none_o will_v deny_v but_o the_o king_n daughter_n be_v all_o glorious_a within_o the_o saint_n do_v not_o appear_v to_o the_o world_n as_o yet_o but_o when_o the_o witness_n rev._n 11._o shall_v ascend_v in_o a_o cloud_n into_o heaven_n than_o the_o enemy_n shall_v behold_v they_o and_o than_o the_o saint_n shall_v appear_v as_o they_o be_v unto_o the_o confusion_n of_o their_o enemy_n which_o shall_v be_v very_o short_o now_o it_o may_v be_v object_v if_o it_o be_v so_o as_o you_o say_v that_o the_o seed_n of_o man_n which_o be_v mix_v in_o the_o state_n be_v the_o saint_n as_o you_o call_v they_o yet_o sure_o they_o have_v do_v no_o good_a and_o be_v they_o not_o over-vote_v and_o account_v as_o the_o worst_a of_o man_n because_o they_o will_v not_o join_v with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o body_n insomuch_o that_o they_o be_v the_o mean_n to_o bring_v all_o to_o confusion_n which_o if_o they_o have_v hold_v together_o it_o will_v have_v be_v otherwise_o it_o be_v true_a that_o though_o the_o state_n have_v mix_v themselves_o with_o the_o seed_n of_o man_n think_v thereby_o to_o join_v themselves_o to_o the_o iron_n which_o be_v the_o monarchical_a power_n yet_o it_o can_v be_v so_o for_o iron_n and_o clay_n will_v not_o hold_v together_o insomuch_o that_o the_o stone_n that_o be_v cut_v out_o of_o the_o mountain_n have_v but_o smite_v the_o image_n upon_o his_o foot_n and_o have_v break_v they_o already_o now_o here_o may_v arise_v a_o question_n how_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o there_o can_v be_v more_o in_o the_o seed_n of_o man_n then_o in_o the_o head_n of_o gold_n for_o if_o the_o seed_n of_o man_n be_v the_o saint_n in_o a_o spiritual_a sense_n than_o the_o head_n of_o gold_n must_v needs_o be_v understand_v to_o be_v the_o truth_n and_o so_o i_o say_v how_o can_v it_o be_v make_v appear_v that_o there_o be_v more_o excellency_n in_o the_o saint_n who_o be_v but_o man_n then_o in_o that_o whereby_o they_o be_v sanctify_v for_o christ_n pray_v the_o father_n that_o he_o will_v sanctify_v he_o by_o the_o word_n and_o the_o word_n say_v
and_o rise_v with_o christ_n be_v secure_v in_o that_o chamber_n here_o speak_v of_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o spiritual_a man_n in_o that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o sin_n nor_o hell_n nor_o death_n though_o hell_n and_o death_n remain_v in_o the_o flesh_n as_o yet_o insomuch_o that_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o cry_v out_o with_o the_o apostle_n o_o wretched_a man_n that_o we_o be_v who_o shall_v deliver_v we_o from_o this_o body_n of_o death_n but_o now_o the_o lord_n be_v come_v into_o his_o temple_n in_o many_o of_o the_o saint_n though_o we_o have_v a_o being_n as_o yet_o in_o babylon_n among_o the_o den_n of_o lion_n and_o the_o mountain_n of_o the_o leopard_n but_o though_o the_o lord_n be_v come_v into_o his_o temple_n even_o the_o messenger_n of_o the_o covenant_n in_o who_o we_o delight_v yet_o it_o be_v say_v mal._n 3._o 1_o 2_o 3._o who_o can_v abide_v his_o come_n and_o who_o shall_v stand_v when_o he_o appear_v what_o flesh_n can_v endure_v his_o presence_n flesh_n must_v die_v when_o god_n appear_v in_o it_o so_o god_n sit_v in_o his_o temple_n to_o destroy_v sinful_a flesh_n in_o his_o saint_n which_o be_v do_v even_o here_o whilst_o we_o have_v our_o being_n in_o this_o strange_a land_n among_o our_o cruel_a enemy_n but_o when_o the_o lord_n have_v accomplish_v his_o work_n on_o mount_n zion_n which_o he_o will_v effect_v by_o the_o cruelty_n of_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o caldea_n to_o the_o mortify_n of_o the_o flesh_n in_o the_o saint_n than_o the_o lord_n will_v visit_v the_o proud_a heart_n of_o the_o king_n of_o babel_n and_o gather_v all_o his_o from_o among_o the_o heathen_a and_o so_o give_v rest_n unto_o his_o people_n and_o disquiet_v the_o inhabitant_n of_o babylon_n now_o i_o shall_v sum_v up_o in_o brief_a the_o particular_n of_o the_o fall_n of_o babylon_n which_o be_v begin_v in_o some_o and_o shall_v be_v accomplish_v in_o all_o even_o in_o this_o island_n of_o great_a britain_n in_o the_o first_o place_n babylon_n be_v fall_v in_o a_o very_a inconsiderable_a part_n of_o the_o saint_n even_o in_o the_o least_o number_n but_o in_o a_o spritual_a sense_n it_o be_v fall_v in_o the_o least_o number_n so_o when_o babylon_n be_v thus_o fall_v in_o they_o light_n do_v appear_v in_o that_o they_o have_v bring_v forth_o a_o man-child_n speak_v of_o rev._n 12._o 1_o 2._o isai._n 9_o and_o 66._o which_o man-child_n be_v

to_o persecute_v that_o part_n of_o the_o church_n who_o do_v represent_v the_o woman_n which_o have_v bring_v forth_o a_o man_n child_n but_o the_o woman_n have_v flee_v into_o the_o wilderness_n where_o she_o be_v keep_v as_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o the_o scripture_n which_o wilderness_n in_o a_o spiritual_a sense_n be_v only_o that_o place_n of_o safety_n in_o which_o the_o spiritual_a man_n do_v reside_v which_o be_v god_n himself_o who_o do_v manifest_a his_o presence_n most_o unto_o his_o saint_n in_o their_o desolate_a and_o disconsolate_a condition_n and_o the_o saint_n live_v more_o in_o god_n in_o the_o want_n of_o all_o help_n and_o comfort_n from_o the_o creature_n then_o in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o all_o but_o though_o that_o part_n of_o the_o church_n be_v secure_v in_o that_o place_n which_o be_v god_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o spiritual_a man_n yet_o as_o she_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n she_o be_v in_o babylon_n among_o her_o hateful_a enemy_n who_o have_v procure_v
