A85549	A true reformation and perfect restitution, argued by Silvanus and Hymeneus; where in the true Church of Christ is briefly discovered here in this life in her estate of regeneration, as also her persecution in the life to come, as it hath been foretold by all the holy prophets and Apostles, which have been since the world began. / By J.G. a friend to the truth and Church of God.

now proceed to the third particular the King of this new and heavenly world Silv. The King of Sion is her Saviour and the Scriptures call him the King of Glory and that title that was written on his Crosse in his humiliation in Latin Greek and Hebrew that is the title of his Crown and Dignity in his Exaltation This is the King of the Iews And as himself saith for this end was I born and for this end came I into the world and so testifies the Angell unto the Virgin Mary and tells her that her Sonne Iesus should be great and called of all the Sonne of the Highest and the Lord shall give unto him the Throne of his Father David and he shall raigne over the house of Israel for ever and of his Kingdom there shall be no end Thus that great favourer and much beloved of God the Prophet Daniel speaking by the holy Ghost of Iesus the Lord he calleth him the Sonne of God and in the spirit of prophesy saith that there was given him Dominion and Glory and a Kingdom that all people nations and languages should feare him his Dominion is an everlasting Dominion which shall not passe away and his Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed The same Prophet in another place saith In the days of these Kings meaning the great oppressors of the earth from the beginning of the world to the end In their days as before I told you of the Kings of the East and the whole world For although there be many differing powers as of gold and silver c. yet they all make but one enemy one adversary as it is said of Rome in her shall be found the bloud of all the Saints and Prophets and of all that were slaine upon the earth It is so said because all persecutors make but one generation and it follows and in the days of these Kings shall the God of heaven set up a Kingdom which shall never be destroyed and the Kingdom shall not be left to other people but it shall break in pieces and consume all these Kingdomes and it shall stand for ever For David saith though the heathen rage and the wicked people imagine vaine things yet saith the Lord I have set my King upon my holy hill of Sion who shall speak to them in his wrath and vex them in his sore disp●easure his Dominions is from Sea to Sea from the River to the ends of the earth they that dwell in the wildernesse shall bow before him saith the Prophet and his enemies shall lick the dust How full doth Almighty God prove this himself it s more clear than the Sun in its full light In these words thou art my Sonne this day have I begotten thee ask of me and I will give thee the Heathen for thy inheritance the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession thou shalt rule them with a rod of Iron and break them to pieces like a potters vessell Thus reasoneth the Apostle for unto the Angels he hath not put into subjection the world to come whereof we speak but unto the Sonne he saith Thy Throne oh God is for ever and ever a Scepter of righteousnesse is the Scepte● of thy Kingdom thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet and of that subjection more hereafter And thus speaketh another of the Prophets the Lord is King for ever and ever and againe the Lord sitteth King for ever for the Lord most high is terrible and he is a great King over all the earth And againe sing praises with understanding for God is the King of all the earth f●r all Kings shall fall down before him all nations shall serve him so long as the Sun and Moone endureth Oh worship the Lord in the beauty of holinesse feare before him all the earth say amongst the heathen that the Lord raigneth the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved he shall judge the people righteously and governe the nations on the earth These Scriptures are so plaine they need no exposition therefore let the Heavens rejoyce and let the earth be glad ●et the sea roare and the fulnesse thereof let the field be joyfull and all that therein is then shall the trees of the wood rejoyce before the Lord and the reason the holy Ghost giveth in these words following for he cometh for he cometh that is the Lord cometh to judge the earth he shall judge the world with righteousnesse and the people with his truth Oh sing unto the Lord a new song for he hath done marveilous things his right hand and his holy arme hath gotten him the victory for its the Lord that sitteth upon the throne of his holinesse it is the Lord that reigneth over the heathen And another saith the Lord shall be King over all the earth and in that day shall there be one Lord and his name one And the Apostle calls him the everlasting King Iesus who is the faithfull witnesse and first begotten of the dead and the Prince of the Kings of the earth who alone is the Lord of Lords and King of Kings thus one all the messengers of salvation say unto Sion thy God raigneth and the same language the Lord himself speaketh Thus saith the King of Ia●ob the Lord the King of Israel who is thy redeemer even the Lord of hosts I am the first and I am the last and besides me there is no God and a● another time he saith all power is given unto me of my Father both in Heaven and earth great and speciall things do the Scriptures declare of this Kingdom of its power and glory of which our Saviour acquainted his servants Within these fourty days speaking to them of the things pertaining to the Kingdom of God which made them so desirous of the injoyment and possession of it that before his descending from them their generall request was unto him in these words wilt thou at this time restore the Kingdom to Israel just like the Mother of the two Sonnes of Zebedee in the behalf of her Children Lord saith she out of a true affection of that perfection she desired that her two Sonnes might sit the one at his right hand the other at his left in his Kingdom and truly now may we say for thine is the Kingdom power and glory for now we see it is the Lords only and if all what hath been said will not satisfie we have Gods own oath for it saying by the mouth of the Prophet I have sworn by my self and the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousnesse and shall not returne that unto me every knee shall bow every tongue shall sweare and the Apostle affirmes it from the Prophet that at the name of Iesus every knee shall bow of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth and that every tongue shall confesse that Iesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father I will adde

and againe he saith he made not the Earth for nought but to be inhabited and he hath established it that it shal not be moved and in another place speaking of the generall restitution as Saint Paul doth he saith with righteousnesse shall he judge the poore and with the breath of his lipps shall he slay the wicked and then from man-kind goes on to other creatures and saith then shall the Wolfe dwell with the Lambe and the Leopard shall lye down with the Kid and the calf and the yong Lion and the Fatling and a little Child shall lead them and the Cow and the Beare shall feed their yong ones shall lye down together and the Lion shall eate straw like the Ox and the sucking Child shall play over the hole of the Aspe and the weaned Child shall put his hand on the Cockatrises den they shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountaine saith the Lord for the earth shall be full of the knowledg of the Lord as the waters cover the Sea in another place the same Prophet saith again that the Wolfe and the Lambe shall feed together and the Lion shall eate straw like the Bullock and dust shall be the Serpents meate and againe he saith seeke ye out of the book of the Lord and read no one of these shall faile none shall want her mate for my mouth it hath commanded and his spirit it hath gathered them and the beast of the field saith the Lord by the same Prophet shall honour me and againe Oh Sion break forth into singing and let all the trees in the field rejoyce and clap their hands for in stead of the thorne shall come up the Figg tree and in stead of the bryer shall come up the mirtle tree and it shall be unto the Lord for a name and for an everlasting signethat shal not be cut off and another of the Lords faithfull ones saith moreover even the woods and every sweet smelling tree shall over shadow Israel by the commandement of God for God shall lead Israel with joy with the light of his glory even with the mercy and righteousnesse that commeth from him Hym. That all Creatures shall be restored me thinks the Scriptures are plaine and evident for so that I cannot but acknowledge it is so yet many objections also appear to me some of the Scriptures you alleadge because such expressions are used which concern this present life as the Calf a Child and Straw as if there should be plowing and sowing and increase and multiplication of Creatures againe Silv. As you say the Scriptures in some particulars do seem so to speak both for fructification and sustentation for the last our Lord speaks as if there might be such a thing even as Adam had for his delight and pleasure to eate even in the time of his innocency in Paradice the fruit of all the trees in Eden and excepted none but the tree of knowledg of good and evill and the words of our Lord are these but I say unto you I will not drink hence forth of this fruit of the vine untill I drink it new with you in my Fathers Kingdom Note here this fruit of the vine as distinguished from that which shall be new when the Kingdom of God comes as Luke saith as also that our Lord speaks further these words I appoint unto you a Kingdom as my Father hath appointed unto me that you may eate and drink at my Table in my Kingdom and sit on Thrones judging the twelve Tribes of Israel and that there shall not be any more marrying or giving in marriage by which I understand there shall be no further increase but that man shall be as the Angels of God in Heaven in the resurrection secret things belong unto God and things revealed belong to us and our Children and seeing the Scriptures have revealed so much therefore break forth into joy sing together ye wast places of Ierusalem for the Lord hath comforted his people he hath redeemed Sion the Lord hath made bare his holy Arme in the eyes of all the nations and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God thy faithfulnesse Oh God is unto all generations thou hast established the earth and it abideth they continue this day according to thy ordinance for all are thy servants Who shall not feare thee O Lord and glorify thy name for thou only art holy for all nations shall come and worship before thee for thy Iudgements are made manifest FINIS
