in so great a measure already accomplished by the preaching of the Gospel and that Powerful Assistance that attended it from Heaven shall receive its full and final completion when the Mountain of the Lord's house is exalted upon the tops of the Mountains and all Nations flow unto it that is when both Jews and Gentiles shall unite themselves under the Banner of the crucified Jesus And now that I am discoursing of that signal overthrow of the Devil's Kingdome by Christianity or the Gospel under the Powerful conduct of the Lord Jesus whereby he became dispossessed of his Usurped Dominions and those who had so long time been his Slaves and Vassals returned to the Loyalty and Obedience they owed to their Natural Soveraign I cannot forbear to insert a Conjecture of the Pious and Learned Mr. Mede concerning the American or New World That those Countries were first Inhabited since our Saviour and his Apostles times and not before yea perhaps some Ages after there being no signs or foot-steps found amongst them or any Monuments of older Habitation as there is with us That the Devil being impatient of the sound of the Gospel and the Cross of Christ in every part of this old World so that he could in no place be quiet for it and foreseeing that he was like at length to lose all here bethought himself to provide him of a Seed over which he might reign securely and in a Place Vbi nec Pelopidarum facta neque nomen audiret That accordingly he drew a Colony out of some of those barbarous Nations dwelling upon the Northern Ocean whither the sound of Christ had not yet come and promising them by some Oracle to shew them a Country far better than their own which he might soon do pleasant large where never Man yet inhabited he conducted them over those Desart Lands and Islands which are many in that Sea by the way of the North into America which none would ever have gone had they not first been assured there was a passage that way into a more desirable Country Namely as when the World Apostatized from the Worship of the true God God called Abraham out of Chaldee into the Land of Canaan of him to raise him a Seed to preserve a light unto his Name So the Devil when he saw the World Apostatizing from him laid the Foundations of a new Kingdome by deducting this Colony from the North into America where since they have increased into an innumerable Multitude And where did the Devil reign more Absolutely and without Controll since Mankind fell first under his clutches And here it is to be noted that the story of the Mexican Kingdome which was not founded above 400. Years before ours came thither relates out of their own Memorials and Traditions that they came to that Place from the North whence their God Vitzliliputzli led them going in an Ark before them and after divers Years Travel and many stations like enough after some Generations they came to a Place which the sign he had given them at their first setting forth pointed out where they were to finish their Travels build themselves a City and their God a Temple which is the Place where Mexico was built And though the Devil in those Quarter and such other Parts of the World seem to Lord it alone over abused Mankind without any controll and opposition yet the Son of God to whom the uttermost Parts of the Earth are promised for an Inheritance will at length lay a Powerful claim to his own Possessions and take out of the hands of his Grand Enemy by the pure and uncorrupt Propagation of the Gospel that Soveraignty which he exercises over those Desolate People For as Christ in the Days of his Flesh by his Powerful and efficacious Word commanded the Devils out of their usurped Habitations in the Bodies of Men as a Praeludium of that Universal Conquest he should hereafter obtain so will he after such Periods of Divine Providence fixed and determined by his All-comprehensive Wisdome go forth with his Legions of Light and recover those wretched Mortals out of the Hands of the spirits of Darkness by whom they have been captivated and seduced at their Will Nor is this a bare Airy Notion or Fancy but a thing to be hoped and prayed for upon very Rational Grounds it being nothing but the enlargement of the Kingdome of Truth and Righteousness and the Dissemination of that Holy and Blessed Life of God to which Mens Souls have a Natural Cognation though for the present bent and forced out of their true state and Position 3. The Power of God will Discover it self in a very eminent manner in raising all Holy Men from the Dead and rewarding their faithful services with Immortality and Life at the last Day The last enemy that shall be destroyed says the Apostle is Death And when God shall think fit to put an end to the Generations of Men and conclude the Scene of the affairs of this World then shall the Holy Jesus descend from Heaven with a shout with the Voice of the Archangel and with the Trumpet of God and the Dead shall be raised and presented each one in the Visible and Individual Personality they bare in this World before the Judgment-Seat of Christ to receive for the things done in their Bodies whether good or bad and they that have done good shall come forth to the Resurrection of life and they that have done evil to the Resurrection of Damnation Which final sentence at the Conclusion of that dreadful Appearance shall be executed accordingly the Wicked being plunged into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone but the Righteous through the gracious Bounty and stupendious Operation of their merciful Redeemer shall be taken up into the Regions of Immortality and life where their Corruptible Bodies shall put on Incorruption and be transformed into the similitude of the Glorious Body of the Son of GOD through that mighty Power whereby he is able to subdue all things unto himself And though this Transcendent state and Portion may very well be thought too big for our humble Hopes and Expectations and exceed all that we can do or suffer yet since God is pleased of his Infinite Bounty to promise we have no Reason to distrust his Faithfulness and Truth in the Performance of it since he has moreover given us a palpable Pledge and Assurance of it in the Resurrection of our Blessed Saviour from the Dead and because he lives we may be confident we shall live also Christ is risen from the Grave having conquered Death by dying and is ascended into the pure and peaceable Habitations of Glory therefore all his Members who are united to Him in the inseparable bands of Faith and Love shall feel the effects of his Powerful Life in immortalizing their very Bodies which shall then be absorpt into the Great Vortex of Eternity where both Body and Soul shall be deckt with such a refulgent
