be saved but the Lord shall cut the work short in righteousness so that when his people are in great trouble then he shall stand up as a Deliverer Dan. 11.1 Matth. 24.21.22 View well these Scriptures and you shal see that that opinion is false that affirmeth That the Saints shall flourish in such a condition before mentioned while they live in this corrupted Tabernacle of flesh and so I pass to the Third Particular shewing you how Christ and the Saints shall reign together in the Kingdom and shall begin with the words of the Apostle which saith that the Saints are joynt-heirs with Jesus Christ in these words If Sons then Heirs Heirs of God and Joynt-heirs with Christ if so be that we suffer with him that we may bee glorified together Rom. 8.16 17. Now we know a Joynt-heir is an equal sharer or when two are made alike in the injoyment of one thing for so faith the Apostle Now are we the Sons of God but it doth not appear what we shall be but when he shall appear wee shall be made like him 1 Joh. 3.1 2 3 4. they shall be like him in Glory in Majesty in Honour in a word every way like him only he in all things shall have the preheminence Moreover I shall adde a plain text of Scripture in the which we shall see that the Saints and Christ shall reign together in these words Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first Resurrection for on such the second Death shall have no power but they shall be the Priests of God and of Christ and reign with him a thousand years The which also agreeth with the words of the Prophet that saith A King shall reign in Righteousness and Princes shall decree Judgement and Saviours shall come up of Mount Sion and judge the Mount of Esau and the Kingdoms shall be the Lords Revel. 20.6 Isa. 32.1 Obadiah 21. therefore let the Saints be joyful in glory let them sing aloud upon their beds let the high praise of God be in their mouthes and a two-edged sword in their hands to execute vengeance upon the Heathen and punishment upon the people to bind the Kings in chains and the Nobles in fetters of Iron that they may execute upon them the Indgement that is written this honour have all the Saints praise yee the Lord so that it is a faithful saying if we suffer with him we shall also reign with him Psal. 149.5 6 7 8 9. 2 Tim. 2 12. So having shewed that Christ and the Saints shall reign together unanimously I shall also shew you that excellent peace that there shall be in the time of his reign throughout the Earth as saith the Prophet The whole Earth is at rest and quiet they shall break forth into singing the Mountains and Hills shall bring peace unto the people by Justice hee shall judge the poor of the people and he shall save the Children of the needy and subdue the Oppressors they shall fear thee so long as the Sun and Moon indureth from generation to generation he shall come down like the raine upon the new-mowen Grasse and as the showers that water the earth in his days shall the righteous flourish and abundance of peace so long as the Moon indureth his Dominion shall be from sea to sea and from the rivers to the ends of the earth and they that dwell in the Wilderness shall kneel before him and his enemies shall lick up the dust in that day it shall be said wee have a strong City salvation hath the Lord appointed for Walls and Bulworks open yee the Gate that the righteous Nation that keepeth the truth may enter in thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose minde is stayed on thee because he trusteth in thee Isa. 14.7 Psal. 72.3 4 5 6 7 8 9. Isa. 26.1 2 3. From hence wee may see what great peace there shall be in the term of Christs reign there is good reason why there shall be such great peace upon these two accounts the first is Because the Devil shall be bound and shall not stirre up Nations to Warre which is his practise when he is loose The second Reason is Because that at the great destruction of God the Great Antichrist all the Weapons of Warre shall be burnt and those that remain which were not brought up to Warre upon the Mountains of Israel shall bee converted into other service namely Their Swords shall be beat into Plow-shares and their Spears into pruning-hooks for Nation shall not rise up against Nation neither shall they learn warre any more Ezek. 39.9 10. Isa. 2.4 Mich. 4.3 Revel. 20.3 From hence it comes to pass that the people in that day shall be led forth in peace and the Mountains shall break forth before them into singing then shall the Law go forth out of Sion and the Word of the Lord out of thy Jerusalem then shall the saying be made good that is written All thy Children shall be taught of God and great shall be the peace of thy Children So that be will extend peace to her like a River and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream Isa. 2.3 cap. 54.13 cap. 55.12 Isa. 66.10 11 12 13 14. Psal. 127.7 and 125.5 Nah. 1.15 and so I shall leave these Scriptures and the Fourth and pass to the Fifth thing in order which is to shew you the people whom Christ and the Saints shall thus rule with a rod of Iron and that is the ungodly even such as have afflicted the people of God and the Sons of them who have afflicted the people of God for so saith the Prophet The Sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee and all they that despised thee shall fall down at the soals of thy feet and they shall call thee the City of the Lord the Sion of the holy one of Israel Agreeing with that of Malachy To you that fear my Name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing under his wings and yee shall grow forth like Calves in the shall and yee shall tread down the wicked for they shall be like dust under the soals of your feet for thus saith the Lord after this glory hath he sent me unto the Nations which spoyled you for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of mine eye for behold I will lift up my hands upon them and they shall be a spoyl to their Servants and yee shall know that the Lord of Host hath sent me Sing and rejoyce O Daughter of Sion for I will come and dwell in the midst of thee faith the Lord Mal. 4.2 3 4. Zech. 2.8 9 10. Hence you may see that the enemies of God and his people shall be subdued by Christ and the Saints like as the Aegyptians of old were spoyled by the Israelites when they came out of Aegypt so shall all the ungodly Aegyptians be spoyled at the last as you may see Exod. 3.22 Cap. 11.2 Isa.
by abusing the worthy name of God speaking reproachfully of him and his Son Christ and slighting those Laws and Ordinances which are given forth to be practised till his second and great coming with the abusing of themselves in uncleaneness and Lusts of the flesh amongst which they contend for the community of Women which is none of the least of their Uncleanenesses and make themselves worse than the savage Beasts Of that sort are the rude Ranters and the blasphemous Quakers the which have cast off Civil Humanity and this generation of men are the men that will cause the Lord to arise and take vengeance upon the earth for so saith the word of the Lord in these words And Enoch also the seventh from Adam Prophecied of these saying Behold the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his Saints to execute Judgement upon all and to convince all that are ungodly amongst them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodlily committed and of all their hard speeches which ungodly Sinners have spoken against him So that we may see that the Lord will send his Son in flaming fire against all ungodly men but chiefly they that walk after the Lust of the flesh in uncleaneness as hee once did destroy the world and such like Sinners with an over-flowing Floud Gen. 6.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8. Jude 4. compare 14 15. 2 Pet. 2.4 compare 10. cap. 3.3 compare 10. See also vers. 7. From hence you may see that that ungodly generation of men that are now in the World is a lively sign of Christs coming And so I pass briefly to the third The Third sign of Christs coming Is the Echo or sound of these two things in the World as namely the Preaching of the Gospel about in the Nations and the Warres and rumours of Warres that do accompany it for when these two things go together then Christ saith the end is very nigh and although the Gospel have been preached before in a private way that is to say in some particular Nation or privately in that Nation yet never was the Gospel preached to Nations and Rulers as it is in our days Obj. If it should be Objected and said That the Gospel hath been preached in Nations a great while by the Ministery of the Nation To which I answer Ans. That as the Congregations of the Nation was never called a Church of Christ nor her Teachers the Ministers of the Gospel neither hath that kinde of Doctrine which they have preached been called the preaching of the Gospel If it should be demanded of me what it is I should answer to them in their particuler order First the National Church is called by the name of the Cities of the Nation which is a borrowed word from Christs Church Yee are a City set upon an Hill Mat. 5.14 Rev. 16.19 and that this City of the Nations is meant the National Church is because they shall begin to decay and sink and shall also be destroyed at the time that Babylon shall come in remembrance before God whereby she shall receive the Cup at his hands for the Nations or the National Church hath been stained is and shall be with the corruptions or pollutions of Romes Doctrine Jer. 51.7 8. Again if you shall ask me what the National Ministers are called in Scripture I shall shew you as followeth they are called Merchants of the Earth or the Angels of the Waters now the word Angel signifieth Minister as Revel. 1.20 and the Waters signifie Nations for so saith the Spirit The Waters that thou sawest are Multitudes Nations and Tongues Rev. 17.15 so it is clear that the Angels of the Waters are meant the Ministers of the Nations so that they are neither called Ministers of Christ nor Ministers of the Gospel but the Ministers of the Gospel are called by another name in the same place even the Angel of the Altar and that Christ is our Altar is clear see Heb. 13.10 Rev. 16.7 Thirdly Why their Preaching is not called Gospel-preaching although they make use of the Gospel is because they teach for Doctrine the Traditions of their Fathers and the Apostle calleth not such Gospel-preaching but saith to the Galathians I marvel that you are so soon moved away from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another Gospel which is not another but there are some that trouble you and would pervert the Gospel of Christ Gal. 1.6 7. so that those persons that do pervert any of the sayings of Christ according to Scripture account cannot be called the Ministers of the Gospel nor their Preaching Gospel-preaching which the Ministers of our Nation have done that is to say mingled the Commands of Christ with their Traditions and so cannot be meant that Gospel-preaching which shall bee the fore-runner of Jesus Christ but that the Gospel shall be preached again in the plain way of it that is to say in the way which Christ appointed when hee ascended up on high is clear Mat. 24.14 Rev. 14.6 The Fourth and last Sign of the second coming of Jesus Christ is those false Signs and Miracles that shall bee wrought by the false Prophets for a little before the coming of Christ there will be a Generation of men that will deny the way and Ordinances of the Gospel because they are not accompanied with Miracles and so shall deny the power of the Word The Devil seeing this hee shall impower the false Prophets whereby they shall do great Signs and lying Wonders to deceive by multitudes all incredulous persons who will beleeve a lying Sign before they will beleeve that Word that was confirmed by Signs for when persons do not like to retain God in their knowledge God is pleased to send them strong delusions to beleeve a Lye and that there are many such now in our days that have denied the Truth that once they owned and are grown to such a height as that they do shew many lying Signs if any shal question the truth of this let them but go to London and go to those Meetings that they call the Quakers Meetings and they shall see it apparently enough But now to prove that false Signs and lying Wonders before-runners of Christs coming see from these Scriptures following Mat. 7.22 Cap. 24.24 2 Thess. 2.9 Rev. 13.13 14. Cap. 16.14 15. Friends I should adde some more Signs of Christs coming as the gathering together of the Jews into their own Land which certainly might easily be proved did we but understand the consultation that there is amongst them but the returning of the Fleet from the Straights will give us more certain intelligence as to that thing and so I shall leave these few Signs unto your consideration and pass to the Tenth and last Particular A profitable Application of the Sum of what is fore-mentioned Christian Reader I having shewed you what excellent injoyment the Lord hath laid up for his people even for such as seek him as for hidden treasure Sith
