B09926	An epistle written (dated the 30th of the 11th month 1659,) and sent from London into the countrey. By a friend to the glorious (though at this day despised) cause of Christ, in answer to a letter sent up to him (dated the 16th of the same month) wherein the following things are treated of, (viz.) 1. The fifth kingdom it self, which the God of Heaven sets up in the latter dayes. 2. The kingdom of the beast which is to be destroyed. 3. The instruments that are to be used in destroying the one and erecting the other; with the way or manner how they are to be used. 4. The time of the beginning of this work. [bracket] First, before Christs personal comming. Secondly, before the call of the Jewes. Thirdly, that it is already begun, and hath taken place in this nation and that Cromwel with the army, hath apostatized from it, and that all the powers, or governments that have been set up since that time, have been, and still are upon the foundation of the apostacy. As also, severall of the particular evills which the army, and others abetting the apostacy are guilty of. Together with, some considerations tendered to the favourers of Christ's righteous cause, wherein is laid down, their duty of separation from Babylon, and from all the parts and branches (both in church and state) of the forementioned apostacy.

election_n etc._n etc._n those_o that_o own_o election_n according_a to_o scripture_n will_v grant_v that_o it_o take_v place_n before_o call_v and_o yet_o call_v be_v here_o place_v before_o it_o

respect_n to_o the_o time_n of_o this_o kingdom_n take_v place_n be_v that_o it_o must_v begin_v or_o take_v place_n among_o the_o gentile_a saint_n before_o the_o call_v of_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o jew_n to_o wit_n the_o natural_a seed_n of_o abraham_n the_o first_o ground_n of_o this_o i_o gather_v from_o the_o work_n time_n and_o order_n of_o the_o vial_n rev._n 16._o six_o of_o they_o

16.12_o must_v be_v pour_v out_o upon_o the_o great_a river_n euphrates_n that_o the_o way_n of_o the_o king_n of_o the_o east_n may_v be_v prepare_v by_o the_o river_n euphrates_n i_o understand_v

or_o stone_n must_v break_v and_o make_v way_n for_o the_o jew_n before_o their_o come_n in_o therefore_o it_o must_v take_v place_n or_o be_v in_o be_v before_o it_o break_v the_o way_n the_o gentile_a saint_n must_v be_v use_v as_o the_o instrument_n in_o break_v the_o way_n for_o and_o bring_v in_o the_o jew_n isa_n 49.22_o and_o chap._n 66.20_o object_n that_o many_o of_o the_o scripture_n which_o refer_v to_o the_o work_n of_o the_o kingdom_n do_v speak_v to_o the_o people_n of_o god_n who_o be_v to_o be_v use_v in_o it_o under_o those_o name_n and_o title_n that_o proper_o relate_v to_o the_o natural_a seed_n of_o abraham_n as_o jacob_n zion_n jerusalem_n judah_n and_o israel_n etc._n etc._n answ_n that_o although_o in_o the_o old_a covenant_n day_n in_o which_o the_o

god_n give_v to_o they_o and_o the_o name_n of_o jacob_n zion_n and_o jerusalem_n etc._n etc._n do_v true_o and_o spiritual_o relate_v to_o the_o gospel_n or_o new_a covenant_n church_n in_o which_o neither_o jew_n nor_o gentile_a have_v any_o right_n by_o natural_a generation_n but_o by_o faith_n in_o christ_n who_o be_v all_o and_o in_o all_o col._n 3.11_o and_o so_o in_o he_o 2_o cor._n 1.20_o we_o come_v to_o have_v a_o right_n to_o all_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v hold_v forth_o to_o jacob_n or_o zion_n etc._n etc._n so_o psal_n 102.13.16_o in_o which_o scripture_n zion_n must_v respect_v the_o gospel_n church_n which_o the_o lord_n shall_v build_v when_o he_o appear_v in_o his_o glory_n it_o be_v the_o gospel_n church_n that_o zech._n 2.7_o dwell_v with_o the_o daughter_n of_o babylon_n gal._n 4.26_o chap._n 3.29_o eph._n 2.14_o which_o with_o many_o other_o scripture_n do_v clear_o demonstrate_v these_o title_n be_v most_o true_o to_o be_v apply_v to_o the_o gospel_n church_n and_o those_o that_o deny_v this_o must_v exclude_v the_o gospel_n church_n from_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o promise_n in_o scripture_n and_o though_o this_o may_v seem_v to_o cut_v off_o the_o jew_n from_o their_o privilege_n yet_o it_o will_v rather_o and_o more_o true_o invest_v they_o therein_o upon_o a_o more_o noble_a account_n when_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o embrace_v the_o messiah_n and_o thus_o much_o to_o this_o objection_n i_o shall_v now_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o two_o scripture_n that_o be_v special_o insist_v upon_o by_o those_o who_o

shall_v be_v refer_v to_o the_o natural_a seed_n of_o abraham_n it_o can_v only_o respect_v the_o two_o tribe_n to_o wit_n judah_n and_o benjamin_n and_o all_o that_o may_v be_v gather_v in_o this_o matter_n from_o it_o be_v that_o the_o kingdom_n shall_v come_v to_o the_o two_o tribe_n before_o the_o ten_o which_o will_v much_o agree_v with_o other_o scripture_n but_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v from_o the_o scope_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o word_n that_o the_o kingdom_n shall_v not_o take_v place_n and_o be_v in_o be_v among_o the_o gentile_a saint_n before_o its_o dominion_n come_v to_o the_o two_o tribe_n because_o they_o must_v have_v the_o first_o dominion_n before_o the_o other_o ten_o tribe_n the_o other_o scripture_n be_v zech._n 12.7_o the_o lord_n shall_v save_v the_o

the_o glory_n be_v to_o have_v the_o ten_o tribe_n in_o conjunction_n with_o the_o two_o abide_v with_o the_o house_n of_o david_n but_o when_o the_o ten_o tribe_n revolt_v the_o kingdom_n be_v rend_v

and_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o jerusalem_n go_v off_o and_o that_o the_o ten_o tribe_n may_v not_o magnify_v themselves_o against_o the_o two_o tribe_n who_o hosea_n 11.12_o rule_v with_o god_n and_o

be_v gather_v in_o this_o matter_n from_o this_o scripture_n and_o it_o will_v not_o prove_v that_o the_o kingdom_n shall_v first_o take_v place_n or_o begin_v among_o the_o natural_a seed_n of_o abraham_n but_o i_o shall_v add_v no_o more_o to_o this_o but_o come_v to_o speak_v to_o the_o three_o particular_a relate_v to_o the_o time_n of_o this_o work_n take_v place_n and_o to_o that_o i_o
