and_o personal_o reign_v here_o and_o that_o before_o the_o general_n resurrection_n and_o day_n of_o judgement_n as_o they_o also_o hold_v this_o be_v contrary_a to_o express_v word_n of_o

before_o that_o time_n and_o consequent_o he_o will_v not_o reign_v here_o in_o person_n as_o those_o mille●naries_n imagine_v it_o be_v incongruous_a and_o against_o reason_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v say_v to_o come_v to_o judge_v the_o man_n upon_o earth_n and_o yet_o at_o the_o same_o time_n be_v on_o the_o earth_n nor_o be_v there_o any_o thing_n in_o this_o 20_o chapter_n of_o the_o

thousand_o year_n which_o word_n may_v fair_o intimate_v that_o christ_n will_v descend_v from_o heaven_n and_o come_v among_o they_o and_o reign_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o so_o long_o a_o time_n but_o instead_o of_o this_o it_o be_v only_o say_v that_o they_o shall_v reign_v with_o he_o a_o thousand_o year_n or_o suppose_v it_o be_v express_o say_v christ_n shall_v reign_v yet_o this_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o he_o shall_v reign_v in_o person_n how_o often_o do_v the_o come_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o luke_n 12._o and_o in_o other_o place_n signify_v christ_n come_v in_o way_n of_o judgement_n and_o vengeance_n not_o his_o personal_a come_v why_o then_o may_v not_o christ_n reign_v be_n mean_v not_o of_o a_o personal_a reign_v but_o of_o his_o reign_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o life_n of_o the_o faithful_a he_o be_v with_o they_o spiritual_o and_o they_o reign_v with_o he_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n and_o no_o other_o therefore_o the_o inquisitive_a mr._n mede_n who_o find_v the_o future_a reign_n of_o christ_n upon_o earth_n on_o his_o chapter_n in_o the_o revelation_n see_v no_o ground_n here_o for_o his_o visible_a and_o corporal_a reign_v whence_o he_o have_v

shall_v be_v a_o visible_a converse_n on_o earth_n for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n ever_o have_v be_v and_o shall_v be_v a_o kingdom_n who_o throne_n and_o kingly_a residence_n be_v in_o heaven_n i_o quote_v this_o passage_n the_o rather_o because_o some_o have_v entertain_v another_o opinion_n of_o this_o learned_a author_n beside_o in_o this_o chapter_n v_o 8_o 12._o we_o read_v that_o gog_n and_o magog_n intervene_v between_o the_o thousand_o year_n and_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n therefore_o the_o personal_a reign_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o before_o that_o day_n for_o the_o heaven_n

a_o unanswerable_a proof_n and_o as_o for_o the_o several_a quotation_n of_o scripture_n which_o they_o bring_v to_o assert_v the_o personal_a reign_n the_o answer_n in_o brief_a be_v this_o that_o theywre_v those_o place_n which_o speak_v of_o christ_n first_o come_v and_o other_o which_o speak_v of_o his_o last_o come_v to_o judgement_n and_o apply_v they_o to_o a_o second_o personal_n come_v of_o christ_n before_o the_o general_n resurrection_n and_o day_n of_o judgement_n from_o this_o pervert_n of_o those_o text_n they_o set_v up_o the_o corporal_a reign_n of_o our_o saviour_n which_o they_o so_o much_o talk_v of_o second_o that_o be_v another_o unpardonable_a error_n that_o the_o body_n of_o the_o decease_a saint_n shall_v be_v raise_v from_o below_o and_o their_o soul_n be_v dismiss_v from_o above_o and_o that_o both_o shall_v be_v unite_v here_o that_o they_o may_v reign_v with_o christ_n on_o earth_n first_o this_o be_v against_o the_o constant_a discovery_n which_o be_v make_v to_o we_o in_o scripture_n that_o heaven_n and_o signal_o the_o high_a heaven_n be_v the_o place_n of_o glory_n and_o the_o seat_n of_o blessedness_n prepare_v for_o the_o depart_a soul_n
