A81699	The Downfall of the Fifth Monarchy. Or, The personal reign of Christ on earth, confuted. Discovering the desperate and dangerous principles and designes of these frenzy-conceited men of the Fifth Monarchy; who pretending to do the work of their generations, seek to involve these nations again in bloud and misery, had not the Lord prevented them in their designe; with a brief manifestation of the true generation work which every good Christian ought to do.		1657 (1657)	Wing D2092; Thomason E1637_3; ESTC R209052	6,826	17

the_o text_n with_o ten_o thousand_o of_o his_o saint_n to_o execuee_v judgement_n upon_o all_o and_o to_o convince_v all_o and_o psal_n 96._o 13._o for_o lo_o he_o come_v for_o he_o come_v faith_n the_o psalmist_n but_o it_o be_v not_o personal_o to_o reign_v but_o to_o judge_v the_o earth_n even_o so_o come_v lord_n jesus_n come_v quick_o i_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v in_o these_o latter_a day_n have_v amost_a glorious_a kingdom_n in_o the_o world_n but_o than_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o spiritual_a and_o holy_a kingdom_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o life_n of_o his_o people_n and_o thus_o have_v christ_n reign_v in_o some_o measure_n more_o or_o less_o ever_o since_o his_o come_n in_o the_o flesh_n yea_o ever_o since_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o

till_o he_o have_v put_v all_o his_o enemy_n under_o his_o foot_n likewise_o also_o consider_v how_o detogarory_a this_o doctrine_n of_o a_o earthly_a reign_n be_v to_o the_o honour_n and_o dignity_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n what_o be_v christ_n go_v to_o heaven_n there_o to_o live_v and_o reign_v as_o lord_n and_o king_n for_o ever_o with_o his_o father_n and_o shall_v man_n conceit_n or_o imagine_v that_o he_o shall_v leave_v his_o father_n glory_n and_o a_o most_o glorious_a and_o heavenly_a kingdom_n for_o a_o earthly_a kingdom_n certain_o this_o be_v a_o most_o gross_a absurdity_n and_o great_a affront_n to_o the_o honour_n and_o dignity_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n thus_o to_o conceit_n be_v not_o he_o king_n over_o all_o and_o do_v he_o not_o rule_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o man_n be_v not_o the_o king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n and_o shall_v any_o ignoble_a he_o so_o as_o have_v he_o to_o have_v but_o a_o earthly_a kingdom_n to_o rule_v and_o govern_v like_o a_o monarch_n in_o the_o world_n o_o horrible_a indignity_n this_o fond_a conceit_n of_o christ_n personal_a reign_n upon_o earth_n may_v be_v liken_v to_o the_o fond_a conceit_n and_o blind_a opinion_n of_o the_o jew_n who_o look_v for_o the_o glorious_a come_n of_o christ_n as_o their_o king_n to_o live_v and_o reign_v as_o a_o king_n and_o monarch_n upon_o earth_n can_v not_o stoop_v so_o low_a as_o to_o see_v he_o lie_v in_o a_o manger_n which_o fond_a opinion_n of_o they_o they_o be_v and_o be_v even_o at_o this_o very_a day_n so_o confident_a of_o that_o they_o both_o flight_n and_o despise_v the_o come_n of_o christ_n indeed_o and_o so_o i_o pray_v god_n out_o monarchical_a generation_n workman_n who_o will_v pull_v down_o christ_n from_o his_o throne_n in_o heaven_n to_o set_v he_o up_o upon_o earth_n i_o pray_v god_n i_o say_v that_o these_o man_n be_v not_o find_v to_o be_v the_o man_n that_o resist_v and_o withstand_v both_o the_o kingdom_n and_o

of_o doctrine_n the_o lord_n convince_v they_o of_o their_o folly_n and_o give_v they_o a_o sight_n and_o sense_n of_o their_o error_n another_o doctrine_n and_o design_n of_o these_o man_n

last_o i_o wish_v those_o man_n themselves_o thus_o engage_v in_o the_o work_n of_o their_o generation_n as_o they_o say_v and_o all_o other_o serious_o to_o consider_v how_o great_o they_o advance_v
