the_o saint_n in_o this_o life_n which_o may_v very_o well_o be_v render_v as_o a_o wilderness-condition_n two_o of_o which_o be_v to_o be_v accomplish_v in_o spiritual_a babylon_n as_o babylon_n may_v be_v render_v a_o state_n and_o a_o national_a church_n both_o which_o particular_n concerning_o this_o wilderness_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o a_o spiritual_a sense_n now_o the_o scripture_n to_o prove_v be_v hosea_n 2._o 3._o where_o god_n do_v denounce_v his_o judgement_n against_o his_o people_n in_o case_n they_o do_v not_o put_v away_o their_o adultery_n from_o between_o their_o breast_n and_o because_o they_o do_v not_o the_o judgement_n follow_v which_o be_v to_o be_v strip_v naked_a and_o sit_v as_o in_o the_o day_n wherein_o she_o be_v bear_v in_o be_v make_v as_o a_o wilderness_n and_o set_v as_o a_o dry_a land_n and_o slay_v with_o christ_n and_o so_o it_o go_v on_o to_o vers._n ●4_a now_o in_o this_o scripture_n the_o condition_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v remarkable_o set_v forth_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o who_o have_v commit_v spiritual_a adultery_n as_o it_o be_v here_o speak_v of_o at_o large_a and_o so_o the_o first_o wilderness_n condition_n be_v accomplish_v in_o the_o last_o and_o dreadful_a desertion_n of_o the_o church_n immediate_o before_o her_o great_a and_o glorious_a deliverance_n out_o of_o mystical_a babylon_n which_o deliverance_n be_v as_o well_o temporal_a as_o spiritual_a even_o from_o the_o bondage_n of_o the_o creature_n as_o in_o isai._n 9_o 4._o and_o 10._o 27._o and_o then_o follow_v the_o

speak_v of_o the_o wilderness-condition_n that_o do_v befall_v the_o saint_n in_o this_o spiritual_a desertion_n when_o god_n have_v bereave_v they_o of_o all_o now_o there_o be_v another_o wilderness-condition_n in_o reference_n to_o the_o saint_n whilst_o they_o be_v in_o babylon_n which_o be_v of_o another_o nature_n as_o in_o revel._n 12_o where_o there_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o the_o woman_n flee_v into_o the_o wilderness●_n before_o she_o have_v wing_n give_v she_o as_o be_v speak_v in_o verse_n 14._o to_o flee_v into_o the_o wilderness_n in_o respect_n of_o a_o local_a separation_n which_o have_v be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o saint_n ever_o since_o the_o defection_n from_o the_o faith_n for_o the_o space_n of_o one_o thousand_o two_o hundred_o and_o threescore_o day_n but_o now_o it_o be_v accomplish_v in_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o saint_n which_o have_v bring_v forth_o a_o man-child_n which_o man-child_n be_v catch_v up_o to_o heaven_n unto_o god_n and_o to_o his_o throne_n which_o show_v that_o the_o spiritual_a man_n in_o those_o who_o be_v enlighten_v with_o that_o light_n of_o god_n in_o who_o light_n we_o see_v light_n i_o say_v the_o spiritual_a man_n in_o such_o a_o one_o life_n in_o god_n though_o as_o we_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n we_o be_v in_o babylon_n among_o our_o hateful_a enemy_n and_o so_o our_o being_n in_o god_n in_o this_o sense_n may_v be_v understand_v to_o be_v that_o wilderness_n into_o which_o the_o woman_n flee_v immediate_o after_o she_o have_v bring_v forth_o a_o man-child_n where_o she_o be_v keep_v in_o respect_n of_o her_o spiritual_a subsistence_n and_o this_o we_o may_v likewise_o observe_v she_o be_v flee_v into_o this_o wilderness_n before_o she_o be_v persecute_v by_o the_o dragon_n and_o so_o have_v wing_n give_v she_o to_o flee_v away_o and_o so_o i_o see_v that_o this_o wilderness_n in_o a_o spiritual_a sense_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v god_n himself_o as_o in_o isai._n 33._o when_o the_o spirit_n shall_v be_v pour_v down_o from_o on_o high_a even_o that_o wilderness_n speak_v of_o in_o hos._n 2._o which_o we_o be_v make_v in_o our_o spiritual_a desertion_n shall_v be_v a_o fruitful_a field_n and_o the_o fruitful_a field_n a_o forest_n now_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o wilderness_n in_o the_o spiritual_a desertion_n and_o after_o the_o resurrection_n into_o which_o the_o woman_n flee_v now_o the_o main_a business_n be_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v gather_v his_o people_n into_o a_o wilderness_n as_o a_o wilderness_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o the_o letter_n when_o the_o lord_n shall_v gather_v away_o his_o saint_n in_o respect_n of_o a_o local_a separation_n from_o babylon_n now_o the_o scripture_n to_o prove_v this_o be_v as_o follow_v isa._n 35._o throughout_o isa._n 48._o 20_o 21._o isa._n 51._o at_o the_o beginning_n jer._n 31._o 1_o 2._o ezek._n 34._o 25._o you_o may_v take_v notice_n of_o the_o whole_a chapter_n hos._n 2._o from_o

his_o good_a time_n reveal_v unto_o his_o people_n those_o thing_n which_o have_v be_v hide_v from_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o world_n whilst_o that_o other_o shall_v promise_v to_o themselves_o peace_n and_o safety_n when_o sudden_a destruction_n shall_v come_v upon_o they_o as_o travel_v upon_o a_o woman_n with_o child_n but_o the_o saint_n shall_v foresee_v the_o evil_a and_o have_v a_o escape_n the_o three_o letter_n concerning_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a dear_a friend_n it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n to_o call_v i_o forth_o to_o hark_v what_o he_o shall_v say_v and_o so_o according_o to_o communicate_v it_o in_o the_o same_o give_v forth_o of_o the_o spirit_n in_o that_o here_o i_o must_v make_v it_o know_v to_o you_o before_o i_o can_v conceive_v it_o in_o myself_o now_o the_o main_a thing_n that_o god_n will_v speak_v by_o i_o at_o present_a be_v concerning_o the_o condition_n of_o mankind_n after_o natural_a death_n and_o so_o likewise_o of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n and_o in_o this_o god_n do_v condescend_v unto_o my_o weakness_n in_o that_o some_o few_o hour_n since_o i_o do_v retain_v sad_a thought_n concerning_o the_o state_n of_o the_o saint_n depart_v with_o those_o who_o shall_v before_o the_o glorious_a manifestation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o so_o likewise_o of_o the_o redemption_n of_o the_o body_n which_o redemption_n shall_v be_v as_o well_o temporal_a as_o spiritual_a now_o the_o faithful_a who_o be_v depart_v this_o life_n already_o with_o those_o who_o shall_v before_o this_o glorious_a manifestation_n it_o do_v not_o appear_v that_o they_o do_v partake_v of_o that_o glory_n which_o they_o do_v who_o shall_v live_v unto_o that_o time_n and_o if_o that_o we_o do_v not_o expect_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n after_o the_o natural_a death_n unto_o this_o i_o answer_v though_o we_o do_v not_o expect_v such_o a_o resurrection_n as_o former_o yet_o we_o do_v expect_v a_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n mystical_a for_o when_o some_o of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n as_o in_o 1_o cor._n 15._o may_v object_v according_a to_o their_o conceive_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v in_o that_o place_n some_o may_v say_v how_o be_v the_o dead_a raise_v and_o with_o what_o body_n come_v they_o forth_o thou_o fool_n say_v he_o that_o which_o thou_o sow_v be_v not_o quicken_v except_o it_o die_v as_o in_o vers._n 35._o and_o that_o which_o thou_o sow_v thou_o sow_v not_o the_o body_n which_o shall_v be_v but_o bare_a grain_n it_o may_v be_v of_o wheat_n or_o some_o other_o grain●●_n but_o god_n give_v a_o body_n as_o it_o please_v he_o and_o so_o he_o go_v on_o to_o vers_n 42._o so_o also_o be_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a it_o be_v sow_v in_o corruption_n and_o it_o be_v raise_v in_o incorruption_n it_o be_v sow_v in_o dishonour_n and_o raise_v in_o glory_n it_o be_v sow_v in_o weakness_n and_o raise_v in_o power_n it_o be_v sow_v a_o natural_a body_n and_o raise_v a_o spiritual_a body_n there_o be_v a_o natural_a body_n and_o there_o be_v a_o spiritual_a body_n as_o it_o be_v write_v the_o first_o man_n adam_n be_v make_v a_o live_a soul_n and_o the_o second_o adam_n be_v make_v a_o quicken_a spirit_n and_o so_o it_o follow_v unto_o verse_n 47_o where_o it_o be_v say_v as_o we_o have_v bear_v the_o image_n of_o the_o earthly_a so_o we_o shall_v bear_v the_o image_n of_o the_o heavenly_a that_o be_v as_o we_o now_o bear_v the_o image_n of_o the_o earthly_a that_o be_v the_o image_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n so_o we_o shall_v bear_v the_o image_n of_o the_o heavenly_a christ_n who_o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o quicken_a spirit_n and_o here_o we_o be_v raise_v a_o spiritual_a body_n for_o the_o body_n be_v christ_n and_o so_o the_o spiritual_a body_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v not_o distinct_a one_o

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
