mention_v some_o of_o they_o and_o the_o first_o shall_v be_v that_o know_a place_n in_o the_o second_o psalm_n where_o it_o be_v clear_o assert_v that_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v in_o a_o most_o eminent_a manner_n be_v subject_v to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v rule_v over_o king_n prince_n and_o judge_n which_o will_v not_o obey_v he_o with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n and_o break_v they_o in_o piece_n like_o a_o potter_n vessel_n if_o they_o cast_v not_o their_o crown_n at_o his_o foot_n and_o kiss_v he_o with_o the_o kiss_n of_o faith_n and_o obedience_n in_o the_o three_o first_o verse_n of_o that_o psalm_n the_o prophet_n seem_v to_o have_v in_o his_o eye_n the_o rage_n of_o the_o heathen_a and_o the_o fury_n and_o the_o madness_n of_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n at_o that_o time_n when_o god_n shall_v set_v up_o the_o kingdom_n of_o jesus_n christ_n over_o the_o whole_a world_n as_o if_o that_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o see_v preparation_n unto_o such_o a_o thing_n that_o their_o spirit_n shall_v be_v present_o enrage_v and_o they_o their_o king_n and_o ruler_n especial_o shall_v set_v their_o whole_a

he_o that_o sit_v in_o the_o heaven_n shall_v laugh_v say_v the_o psalmist_n 6._o psalmist_n vers_fw-la 4_o 5_o 6._o the_o lord_n shall_v have_v they_o in_o derision_n yea_o he_o shall_v speak_v unto_o they_o in_o his_o wrath_n and_o vex_v they_o in_o his_o sore_a displeasure_n when_o they_o shall_v so_o do_v and_o notwithstanding_o he_o will_v set_v his_o king_n upon_o his_o holy_a hill_n of_o zion_n and_o shall_v give_v he_o the_o heathen_a for_o his_o inheritance_n and_o the_o uttermost_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o his_o possession_n some_o of_o which_o be_v pertinacious_a and_o

that_o day_n of_o the_o king_n the_o lord_n christ_n his_o exaltation_n he_o add_v bless_a be_v all_o they_o that_o wait_v for_o he_o thus_o this_o scripture_n full_o concurre_v with_o the_o present_a text_n in_o assert_v this_o thing_n that_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v subject_v to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o as_o it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o all_o dominion_n or_o as_o the_o word_n may_v be_v more_o right_o render_v all_o ruler_n must_v serve_v and_o obey_v he_o so_o the_o same_o be_v clear_o declare_v in_o this_o prophecy_n of_o the_o psalmist_n also_o the_o next_o scripture_n which_o i_o shall_v quote_v for_o the_o clear_n of_o this_o point_n shall_v be_v that_o in_o the_o 110_o psalm_n which_o be_v also_o very_o full_a to_o this_o purpose_n for_o there_o the_o psalmist_n speak_v of_o a_o time_n when_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n there_o style_v a_o priest_n for_o ever_o after_o the_o order_n of_o melchizedeck_v shall_v be_v set_v up_o and_o

people_n shall_v be_v willing_a in_o that_o day_n of_o his_o power_n so_o that_o hence_o it_o be_v clear_a also_o that_o there_o be_v a_o time_n come_v when_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v have_v the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n subject_v to_o he_o and_o because_o it_o be_v and_o will_v be_v so_o that_o when_o he_o come_v thus_o to_o rule_v and_o reign_v that_o many_o people_n but_o especial_o

any_o hint_n of_o the_o time_n we_o desire_v to_o know_v it_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o i_o believe_v this_o be_v enough_o to_o satisfy_v a_o saint_n and_o to_o make_v his_o heart_n joyful_a to_o know_v that_o the_o time_n of_o the_o prevail_a power_n of_o the_o saint_n enemy_n over_o they_o be_v come_v to_o a_o end_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v never_o overcome_v they_o any_o

to_o the_o end_n of_o these_o wonder_n to_o which_o in_o the_o 7_o verse_n a_o double_a answer_n be_v give_v which_o be_v confirm_v with_o a_o very_a solemn_a oath_n first_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v for_o a_o time_n time_n and_o a_o half_a and_o second_o that_o when_o he_o shall_v have_v accomplish_v to_o scatter_v the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a people_n all_o these_o thing_n shall_v be_v finish_v now_o for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o answer_n because_o i_o have_v have_v occasion_n already_o to_o open_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o witness_n it_o in_o my_o book_n entitle_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o witness_n and_o have_v show_v that_o the_o same_o expression_n in_o the_o revelation_n and_o this_o here_o agree_v in_o one_o and_o point_n at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n namely_o the_o flourish_a time_n of_o the_o beast_n the_o prevail_a time_n of_o the_o beast_n wherein_o he_o shall_v have_v power_n to_o overcome_v the_o saint_n and_o to_o trample_v they_o under_o foot_n even_o forty_o two_o month_n or_o a_o time_n time_n and_o half_a a_o time_n and_o have_v clear_v this_o and_o show_v when_o that_o time_n do_v expire_v and_o that_o after_o that_o time_n neither_o the_o beast_n nor_o the_o little_a horn_n prevail_v any_o more_o i_o say_v have_v speak_v of_o these_o thing_n already_o i_o shall_v refer_v the_o reader_n thereunto_o where_o they_o shall_v find_v that_o in_o 1645_o the_o beast_n cease_v to_o prevail_v against_o the_o saint_n and_o the_o time_n wherein_o he_o shall_v tread_v the_o holy_a city_n under_o foot_n than_o come_v to_o a_o end_n and_o neither_o he_o nor_o his_o associate_n shall_v ever_o prevail_v more_o and_o then_o this_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o first_o answer_n to_o the_o question_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o time_n time_n and_o a_o half_a and_o then_o a_o end_n shall_v come_v in_o which_o time_n time_n and_o half_a the_o saint_n shall_v be_v keep_v under_o by_o enemy_n but_o then_o a_o end_n shall_v come_v and_o deliverance_n come_v and_o the_o second_o branch_n of_o the_o answer_n make_v this_o clear_o to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o former_a which_o be_v in_o these_o word_n and_o when_o he_o shall_v have_v accomplish_v to_o have_v scatter_v the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a people_n all_o these_o thing_n shall_v be_v finish_v in_o which_o first_o be_v clear_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o time_n when_o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a people_n shall_v be_v scatter_v the_o saint_n shall_v be_v destitute_a of_o power_n to_o oppose_v a_o enemy_n and_o consequent_o shall_v be_v keep_v under_o by_o a_o enemy_n second_o this_o be_v clear_a in_o these_o word_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o time_n when_o this_o shall_v be_v accomplish_v or_o complete_v i_o mean_v their_o power_n be_v scatter_v there_o shall_v be_v a_o time_n when_o it_o shall_v be_v full_o do_v for_o then_o a_o thing_n be_v accomplish_v when_o it_o be_v full_o do_v as_o much_o as_o
people_n who_o be_v in_o this_o frame_n and_o to_o none_o but_o such_o who_o heart_n be_v thus_o spiritual_a and_o who_o so_o little_a regard_n these_o thing_n in_o comparison_n of_o spiritual_a even_o to_o such_o will_v god_n in_o these_o time_n we_o be_v speak_v of_o abundant_o give_v not_o only_o these_o spiritual_a enjoyment_n and_o privilege_n but_o all_o other_o thing_n shall_v be_v

how_o happy_o the_o saint_n shall_v live_v in_o this_o new_a world_n in_o respect_n of_o outward_n concern_v which_o hear_v how_o the_o lord_n express_v himself_o isa_n 60._o 15._o for_o i_o will_v

what_o the_o outward_a glory_n of_o it_o shall_v be_v be_v in_o part_n express_v in_o the_o follow_a word_n for_o brass_n i_o will_v bring_v gold_n and_o for_o iron_n i_o will_v bring_v silver_n and_o

of_o so_o understand_v it_o but_o it_o be_v usual_a in_o the_o scripture_n to_o account_v a_o day_n for_o a_o year_n and_o of_o more_o than_o so_o of_o necessity_n we_o may_v not_o understand_v it_o
