that commeth judgement and therefore it is cleare that there is a Resurrection 4. Thy conscience will tell thee O vain man that there is a Resurrection for doth not thy conscience tell thee that thou must one day give account for all thy vaine thoughts words and actions and that thou must appear before the great Judge examine thy conscience and it will tell thee and bee as a thousand witnesses against thee thou hast the testimony within thee that will testifie against thee that there is a Resurrection and judge thee one day if thou continuest in that wicked opinion thy conscience will tell thee at thy death there is a Resurrection thou canst not one day stop the mouth of conscience when it shall come and witnesse against thee for all thy wicked acts And thus you see it is clear that there is a Resurrection and now I shall speak a word or two when it shall be 1. But now for the set day or houre of this Resurrection or Judgement it is too high for a finite creature to know For it is not for us to know the times or seasons that the Father hath put in his owne power Act. 1. 7. For of that day nor houre knoweth no man no not the Angels nor the Son himselfe till it be revealed to him Mat. 24. 36. And therefore I shall not dare as some have foolishly done to prescribe or set forth the day of this Resurrection or Judgement 2. The Fathers and learned Doctors of the times in former ages have conceived this day of the Resurrection or Judgement to be at the end of six thousand yeares but this is but their judgement and I shal also under the favour of the Learned give my judgement as desiring to see further because God hath promised to manifest more light in the latter dayes and also because I stand upon the shoulders of my fore-fathers and therefore may see further Now I conceive that as God was six dayes finishing the workes of Creation and the seventh day was a Sabbath of rest that there is a glorious spirituall meaning in all this or else God could as well have finished his workes in one day as in six and therefore there must be some other meaning in all this which I conceive to be this That as God the Father was six dayes labouring in the workes of Creation and finished his workes in six dayes and rested the seventh day it holds forth thus much That the sonnes and daughters of men with the creatures also should bee in commotion and hard labour for six thousand yeares and that in these six thousand yeares he will end all war and strife and that within these yeares he will shake all Nations Hag. 2. 7 8. and will overthrow the pride and vain-glory and false confidence of all Nations and will shake them off their fleshly glorying and beat downe all their strong holds and every fenced wal Esa 2. and all Nations shall lye open and naked and shall have their fill of fighting and shal see their vanity and shall desire to be at rest and shall beat all their weapons of war in peeces and there shall be a spirit of love and union established in all Nations neither shall they learn warre any more but every man shall sit under his own vine and under his own fig-tree and none shall make them afraid for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it Esa 2. Mic. 4. and then shall the fulnesse of the Gentiles come in and the Jews shall be called and the glory of the people of Israel shall be set up and they shall injoy their former inheritances to wit the Land of Canaan and all the glory thereof and the Lord will end the hard labour and travell of all Nations and all Nations shall sit downe at rest And this I beleeve the Lord will doe in the six thousand yeares for he hath seen the sore labour and travell of all Nations and of every creature and he doth intend to give them a Jubile or Sabbath of rest and the seventh day or seventh thousand yeares will bee a rest to all Nations and to every creature from that sore labour and travell and all pride and covetousnesse shall be done away in those daies and the desire of all Nations shall come to seek the Lord and to seek the wayes of Sion and the Lord will extend peace to all Nations like a mighty River Esa last Revel 21. v. 22. And the Lord shall speake to the heaven above and to the earth below and all fruits of the earth shall come in abundance and there shall be a fulnesse of all the fruits of the earth for the Winter shall be like the Summer and fulnesse shall be upon all the earth for it is the Lords Jubile or Sabbath of rest to all Nations 3. This Resurrection shall bee at the last day in the last age or generation when the number of Gods account is up and the last generation shall be brought up for that is the number of Gods account when the last generation is on foot For the Gospell must bee preached to all the world for a witnesse to all Nations and then shall the end come Mat. 24. 14. For it doth not appeare that Christ shall not come untill the restauration of all things that are written in the Law and the Prophets and that there shall be a new heaven and a new earth and a refining of all things before his glorious appearing with that glorious company and heavenly host whom the heavens must containe untill that time till all things be refined as you may see Act. 3. 20 21. For it doth appeare that the Resurrection shall not be untill the new heavens and new earth and that they shall be refined and come forth of the new earth and that we shall not rise before doth appeare by Scripture which saith That man lyeth downe and riseth not till the heavens be no more or dissolved they shall not awake nor be raised out of their sleep Job 14. 22. And of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth and the heavens are the work of thy hands and they shall perish but thou shalt stand and they shall all of them wax old as a garment and as a vesture shalt thou change them and they shall be changed as you may see Psal 102. 25 26. For the stars of heaven and constellations thereof shall not give their light the Sun shall be darkned in his going forth and the Moon shall not cause her light to shine Esa 13. 10. For the windows from on high are open and the foundations of the earth do shake the earth is utterly broken downe the earth is cleane dissolved the earth is moved exceedingly the earth shall reel too and fro like a drunken man and shall be removed like a cottage and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it and it shall fall and not rise againe Esa 24. 18 19 20. And all the
