dead in that evidence and demonstration of him in his testimony dwells to the quickning their spirits now or making them alive to God while yet the body is dead because of sin shall then have their mortal bodies quickned even raised from the dead by the same spirit that now dwells in them and shall then in their souls and bodies reunited in that blessed and glorious Resurrection of the Just enter together with him into the everlasting possession of the joy and glory of their Lord. And this is that which is called The first Resurrection Rev. 20. 4 6. Thess 4. 16. the test of the Dead John in that Vision of things to come saw lived not again till the thousand years of Christs Personal Reign on earth with the children of the first Resurrection were finished In which time there shall be new Heaven and new Earth and the new Jerusalem come down from God out of Heaven and all things made new and a perfectly righteous and glorious Kingdome and Government Revel 21. 1 7. Isa 65. 16 19. 66. 22. 11. 32. 1 5. Psal 72. And the Lord shall be one and his name one throughout all the earth Zach. 14. 9. And the knowledge of the Lord shall cover the earth as the waters cover the Sea Hab. 2. 14. And there shall be great and wonderful Conversions and daily flocking in with joy as Doves to their windows to the Name of the Lord in Jerusalem of the Nations of them that are saved from the former desolating Judgements and Consumptions among which also the natural Israelites then surviving shall be chief to fill the face of the world with fruit againe and to be Subjects of this glorious Kingdome for all the children of the first Resurrection of Jews and Gentiles shall be Reigners And to walk in the light of the new Jerusalem They shall flow together to the name of the Lord in Sion Isa 2. Mich. 4. Isa 9. 4 5 6 24. 13 14. 66. 19. c. Zach. 2. 11. 8. 22. 16. Rev. 21. 24. Psal 102. and though there shall bee no more Death nor fruits of Sin in the New Jerusalem or upon the Children of the Resurrection Revel 21. 3 4. no nor Night nor need of the Sun or Mâ—on to that City when yet the glory and brightness of them in that restitution of all things shall be seven fold to what it is and so useful in and so all the world besides the subjects of this glorious Kingdome Isa 30. 26. 60. 19 c. Rev. 21. 22 23 25. Neither shall there be any more wars or tumults among the Nations one against another in the time of that glorious Kingdom Isa 2 4. nor shall there be that heavie Bondage of corruption remaining on the Creature or enmity betweene them that is now Isa 11. Rom. 8. 19. 25. Acts 3. 20 21. and so none of those poysonous Infections or unnatural Diseases or untimely Deaths that now are common to man shall be then common to any or accidentally or casually befall them yet as there shall be extraordinary and immediate Judgements from God then falling on those Nations Families and Persons that will not voluntarily serve under this Government and come up to worship the Name of the Lord in Jerusalem even to the cutting them off Isa 60. 12. Zach. 14. 16 19. even so there may yea there must needs bee some remainders of mortality and the Natural death generally on the people the Subjects of this glorious Kingdome the people that shall then be left of the Nations and that shall then be created or born to praise the Lord who yet have not passed through that change According to Gods appointment All must once dye amongst which some will bee found even then dying in their sins not coming up to worship the Lord and his Name in Sion at Jerusalem in Christ and the children of the Resurrection as proclaimed and shining forth from that great City that shal be the glory of all Lands and others dying in the Lord as Isa 65. 16 17 20. of which happily some may immediately be changed and fashioned into the likenesse of his glorious Body but some even of them shall stay or rest in death until that great and general Resurrection that shall be after the finishing of that thousand years for in that Resurrection it is evidently signified that there shall be some found written in the Book of Life Revel 20 12 15. and they must needs be of them that lived and dyed in the time of that thousand years or were immediately changed in the finishing of the same for all that slept in Christ before that day of Christs appearing in his glory and the survivers of that body then were brought together with him to the inheriting reigning in that glorious Kingdome Then after that cometh the end when he shall have delivered up the Kingdome to God even the Father when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power for be must reign in this Mediatorial and Davidical Kingdom till he have put all his enemies under his feet the last enemy that shall be destroyed is Death which though perfectly destroyed in the children of the first Resurrection in the beginning of that glorious day even immediately on his descending or coming down from Heaven yet not wholly destroyed from being an enemy while it holds the wicked from their everlasting punishment and vengeance in which God shall be glorified and the righteous shall glory for ever and while also it detains some of those worshippers of him whose names as such are written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world even such of them as dyed in that time of his reign on the earth from the possession of their utmost happinesse Therefore in the conclusion of that day of his Reign or of that manner of Administration of the Kingdome for the Kingdome and the glory of it is everlasting and never shall have end all the rest of the dead small and great shall be raised by him out of their Graves and from the disappearing state of Death and shall appear before his Judgement Seat This is the second and last Resurrection Revel 20. So that there shall be a general Resurrection of the just and unjust which in both parts our Saviour distinguisheth from that first fruites of quickning of the spirit from that death in sins and trespasses which is now effected by the light and power of the Gospel in them that in hearing hear of which work of Spiritual quickning now having spoken in Job 5. 25. hee adds vers 28. Marvel not at this as who should say that which I shall now tell you of is not only another but a greater work and so a greater and more glorious evidence of the vertue and power of the voyce of the Son of Man for the hour is coming he saith not and now is as of the former work vers 25. in
Jesus in that his most holy Body being made perfect through sufferings is the anoynted Prince and Saviour for to give us repentance and forgiveness of sins and he hath confirmed the Promises to the Fathers and given forth the testimony and revelation of himself and the Fathers glory in him in full and as it must stand till his Second appearing At which Great Day all the things behind shall even so bee fulfilled as declared in this dispensation of the fulness of times in the meane time God hath spoken to us in these last dayes by his Son and in and with and according to this word is the influence of the light and power of his Spirit poured out on all Flesh on all the Nations reproving the World and leading Beleevers into all truth the Father having glorified him for the calling the Nations in the preaching peace to them by vertue of the peace made for them by his bloud Isa 55. 4 5. Matthew 28. 18 19. 1 Tim. 2. 5 6 7. 2 In and with this consideration of the great things he hath done Rich provision of all things pertaining to life and godliness in him for us behold him also in his faithfulness in all his Work and Office appointed him it is according as it hath been manifested in that which he hath already done therefore that to be remembred as a standing witness of it as Isaiah 50. 4 5 to the end so Hebrews 12. 2. he that failed not in that will not fail in any thing that he is appointed and impowred to for us in the vertues of that either in his appearing in the presence of God for us or in the Name of the Father giving good things to us that through him we might be saved See also the Fathers face in his Good and upright is the Lord therefore will be teach sinners in the way and then it follows The meek that is those sinners that in his first and preventing teachings are melted and turne in the light and power of his reproofs those will he guide in judgement and further teach his way Psalme 25. 8 9. like that John 16. 8 9 10 13. he fails not Isa 4â— but makes his Judgements as the Light that goeth forth he is all the day long while by any means he is calling to behold him stretching out his hand Isaiah 65. 1 2. Hosea 6. 5 6 7. his goodness is leading to Repentance even those that are not led by it Romans 2. 4 5. Isaiah 48. 17 18. Psalm 81. He is drawing with the cords of a man the demonstrations of a Saviour in a body prepared for him through sufferings made perfect and glorified with the Fathers owne self and with he bands of love the displayings of his love and glory in that face of Christ and therein lifting up the yoke of thraldome naturally on the Jewes while he sets meat before them and this even to such as break his bands and cast away his cords from them Hosea 11. John 3 14 15 16. Psalm 2. Jeremy 5. 5. Zach. 7. 11 12. Ezek. 24. 11. 13. Psalm 81. and in turning at his reproof he will pour out his Spirit further and make known his words Proverbs 1. 23. hee hath now no pleasure in the death of any Sinner yea behold he stands ready to accept of all commers And in every Nation he that feareth God and worketh Righteousnesse is accepted with him to him give give the Prophets Witnesse that through his Name whoseever beleeveth in him shall receive remission of sins and the end of that man is peace Consider also as further Motives to press us to haste and diligence in Learning Righteousnesse the present opportunity only is ours wherefore the Holy Ghost saith To day if yee will hear his voyce harden not your hearts If once the good man of the House that by such Providences as is the subject of this Discourse appears as rising up if once he bee risen up and have shut the door against any of us it will then be too late And this also wee know wee must all dye and doe see that the natural life is a very Bubble presently broken by the least blast of God and the gathering time terminates with that at farthest After death the Judgement shall bee according to the things now done in the Body good or evil according to the rule of the Gospel Let all move us to consider and receive instruction while it is to day learn Righteousnesse by his Judgements and for our direction herein Hee hath shewed thee O man what is good and what doth the Lord require of thee but to doe justly in receiving his Testimony concerning Christ and as that gives ground perswades and strengthens in the supernatural Light and Power with which it is evidenced and made nigh thee so through it beleeving on him that justifieth the ungodly as Romans 4. 10. to love mercy accept receive and drink downe the mercy and pitty of God to man-ward as manifested in and through Christ bringing Salvation as Hosea 6. 6. with Matth. â— 13. reject not the grace of God in Christ the love of the Truth that comes to save your souls and walk humbly with thy God acknowledging our owne vilenesse wretchednesse and deadnesse in sins and trespasses ascribing Righteousnesse to our Maker receive the Sentence of Death in our selves that wee may learn to trust in him that raiseth the Dead lift not up our imaginations high thoughts or purposes against the evidence and demonstration of Christ the instructions reproofs and requirings of that Murmur not among your selves but with meeknesse receive the ingrafted word that is able to save your souls and in the light and strength of it be yee doers of it in all the fruites of Righteousnesse Justice Mercy and humility in your whole demeanour towards God and mâ—◠〈◊〉 that Grace of God that brings Salvation to all men hath appeared teaching us that denying ungodlinesse and worldly lusts we should live soberly righteously and godly in this present world looking for that blesseâ— hope c.
