him 120 years warning so long a space for repentance as the Chaldee Paraphrast expounds that in Gen. 6. 3. his dayes shall be an 120 years to this sense A term of 120 years shall be given them i.e. the men of that 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 evil generation 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 if they will return or repent Before Nineveh should be destroyed the Prophet Ionah was sent to cry against it Israel was not carried captive into Assyria before the Lord had testified against them by all the Prophets and by all the Seers saying Turn ye from your evil wayes and keep my Commandments c. 2 Kings 17. 13. The like is said of Iudah in 2 Chron. 36. 15 16. The Lord God of their Fathers sent to them by his Messengers rising early and sending because he had compassion on his people But they mocked the Messengers of God and despised his words and misused his Prophets until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people till there was no remedy The wing of abominations 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 whereof Daniel speaks in ch 9. 27. overwhelmed not the City Ierusalem until Christ had long laboured in vain to gather them under his wings as a Hen gathereth her Chickens and they would not Matth. 23. 37. Nay when other warnings have been fruitless and God's chastisements and Iudgments near the very Heavens themselves shall by Comets and other Signs give warning of their approach if at length by our humiliation we would stop them even at the door or at least by our preparation to endure them mitigate them unto us 1. If this then be God's manner of dealing To warn us by reproof of our danger that so we might avoid it before it comes it should behove us not lightly to pass by his warnings his 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 so often sounding in our eares in the reading or preaching of his Word There is no Evil that hath doth or shall befall us for any sin we commit but there it is foretold and threatned us no one Example there but it is for our learning or instruction 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Rom. 15. 4. and for our admonition 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 1 Cor. 10. 11. Nay the Holy Ghost doth so lively pattern by Examples the several cases which may befal men as none scarce ever hath been or in any age shall be which in one Example or other may not clearly read his own case and learn Wisdom The Precepts also in the Holy Scripture are so plentiful and the Threatnings so plain that neither can we excuse our sins by ignorance nor justly say that God's Iudgments took us unawares 2. If God so powerfully warns his Creature before he strikes him how dare we strike our Brother before we warn him For those who deal with men as Experience sheweth are often scorched with the fire before they see the smoak But the reason of this difference is plain God strikes because he loves and would amend us and therefore he first rebukes and warns before he chastiseth But we punish if we have power or procure our Brother to be punished if we have not because we hate him and therefore lie in wait to entrap him He must not be admonished lest he should take heed and grow too wary and so escape our snare and yet we cry nothing but Discipline and Execution of Iustice when our hearts and Consciences tell us it is but the wreaking of our Malice But God gives us a Rule to follow fashioned according to the Pattern of his own Long-suffering If thy Brother trespass against thee go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone if again take with thee one or two more and if yet he amend not Tell the Church c. Matth. 18. He that observeth not this Rule little hope is there that ever God will give him grace to make use of his warning who gives no warning to his brother AND thus I come to the Second part of my Text which is our duty We must be zealous and repent Where first as the words lie we will speak of Zeal and then of Repentance Concerning Zeal I will draw all I have to speak unto these two Heads 1. What is this Zeal which is here commanded 2. What Motives there are to urge and command it For the first Zeal is the Intension and Vehemency of all our affections in matters of God and his Service It hath its name of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which is to burn and boil as water over the fire and thence may be styled the Fervency and boiling of our affections Such a one was Apollos as S. Luke in Acts 18. 25. describes him to be 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 fervent in Spirit and such S. Paul exhorts the Romans to be 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 fervent or burning in Spirit ch 12. 11. For as burning is the excess or highest pitch of heat so is zeal of our affections The Schoolmen make it an Intension of love which is true if Love be taken as the Scripture useth for it comprehendeth all our Affections under that name all of them spring from presupposing Love No man is ignorant of this that knoweth how in Scripture all our Duty both to God and man is styled Love and Charity But Love is a special affection Zeal is not the Intension of it alone but of the rest also Hatred Ioy Grief Hope Fear c. So he that with David loves the Law of God more than hony or the hony-comb more than thousands of gold and silver he loves zealously He that rejoyceth in God's Testimonies more than they that find great spoil more than his appointed food he joyes zealously He whose eyes gush out rivers of waters and wisheth his eyes were a fountain of tears because men keep not God's Law he grieves zealously He whose eyes fail and whose soul almost fainteth with waiting and longing for the Salvation of the Lord he hopes zealously He who saies my flesh trembleth for fear of thee and I am afraid of thy judgments he fears zealously and so of the rest But as in our Bodies we find Aguish burnings as well as the healthful vigour of Natural heat and as Nadab and Abihu offered fire unto God but not the right and holy fire but strange fire which he commanded them not Lev. 10. 1. So are there some counterfeits of zeal as it were false fires abominable unto God and odious unto men All is not gold that glisters no more is all Zeal which seemeth so this zeal which God approves Lest therefore blazing Comets be mistaken for the purer Stars of heaven and Nadab and Abihu's strange fires for the fire of God's Altar let us take a survey of the kinds and characters of false zeal for the better discerning of the true The kinds then of false zeal may be reduced unto Three heads 1. Hypocritical zeal which wants sincerity 2.

I. M. EPISTLE LIII Dr. Twisse's Sixth Letter to Mr. Mede desiring him to perfect his Comment upon the Apocalyps and to communicate what Notions he had concerning the Temple in Ezekiel as also upon some obscure passages in Dan. 11. SIR YOur love and your worth makes me zealous of your name and so shall I ever be And I willingly profess I never expected so rational Discourses in the explanation of passages so mysterious We are commonly taken with pretty fictions and imaginations the ground whereof when we come to examine we find no solidity to fasten on O that my desires were worthy to be considered by you that you would be pleased in your private studies to go on to perfect that you have begun upon the Revelation To my thinking by considering your Specimina thereon the three next Chapters viz. 15 16 17. would be soon perfected The touch you give me about repairing of the Temple in Ezekiel doth exceedingly content me though I am perswaded you have some Notions general at least concerning many passages therein In the eleventh of Daniel that which you apply unto the Turk I had thought belonged to Antichrist and the last verse of planting his Tabernacles between the seas seems to me fairly to set forth Rome and the Throne of the Beast therein And as touching the tidings from the East and North that troublesome body if it be the Turk that is troubled have you not some propension to apply it to the Iews after their conversion to Christ Thus I make that saying good Garrit amor benevolentia and one thing more a desire to sound you W. T. EPISTLE LIV. Mr. Mede's Answer to Dr. Twisse's Sixth Letter containing some Testimonies touching Regnum Christi and the New Ierusalem out of Tertullian and K. Edward's Catechism with some general hints concerning Ezekiel's Vision of the measuring of the Temple and an Explication of Dan. 11. 44 45. SIR I Am not unwilling to communicate unto you the most of my ●ew because I perceive you make some account of them For in the Un. where I live I know not a second man that understands any thing concerning such Mysteries nor desires to be made acquainted with them I speak not of the Mystery of the Millennium only but of the Mystery of Iniquity Concerning which I cannot but exceedingly admire how uncapable men otherwise extraordinarily qualified with gists and well-affected too are found to be Condemn me not therefore too much if my edge be not so sharp in this way as you desire it should be But let this pass You shall receive herewith the Prophecie of Tobie in a paper by it self And I will add in this two other The one the authority of Tertullian for the applying of Ezekiel's Temple to the New Ierusalem the other another passage yet out of K. Edward's Catechism which I had not time to transcribe in my last Tertullian lib. 3. adversus Marcionem c. 24.
