c. by whom both the Elect Angels were confirmed in grace and glory and the sins of the Saints should through all times be purged away by himself for the good of whom he hath ever since made his Elect Angels Ministring Spirits having from Eternity given them by his said Covenant unto Christ Therefore the Spirit of God evidently so explains Psalm 8.4 in that excellent Epistle to the Hebrews chap. 2 6 7 8. speaking by allusion there to the first Adam but in both texts Christ is said to be the Son of Man which the first Adam was not but only by Creation the Son of God Luke 3. the last And this Son of Man Christ is he that was for a little season in the world made lower than the Angels but after Crowned with Glory and Honour who for the suffering of death as the Apostle speaks Heb. 1.3 sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high and hath all things as he goes on v. 8. put in subjection under his feet viz. Decretively and Declaratively not actually as all shall then be so the holy Apostle speaks there we do not yet see all things put under him v. 8. and now in some sort or sence the world is the Saints as 1 Cor. 3.22 but then it shall be not only as Christ now providentially orders all for their good therein but then it shall also be theirs in possession too at the said times of the Restitution of all things as our Saviour resolves in that world to come Rev. 21.5.7 Consider well as to this Head our Divine Theses in pag. 3 4 5 6 c. of our first Irenic and Abridg. p. 7 8 c. all though short yet of great weight 4. Gods word witnesseth that by an Eeternal Decree he hath appointed to set his King Christ upon his holy Hill of Sion Psal 2. according to his last Covenant with David for his sure Mercies respecting Christs Universal and perpetual Kingdome that he promised to him for ever 2 Sam 7.16 to the end that after all the vain attempts in the world to the contrary v. 1 2 3 which have ever been in acting since the Fall that Enmity was put by Gods Justice between the seed of the Woman and the seed of the Serpent Gen. 3.15 and will be to that very time when he shall come with his Saints to take possession of it which I doubt not but this Generation will shortly see and what a time of trouble will then be 'till Christs said coming ends it Dan 12.1 Rev. 16.18 experience will soon manifest but notwithstanding all that hath been is now in acting or shall be until then yet saith God I have set my King Christ the great King of the New Jerusalem as he stiles himself Mat 5.35 upon my holy Hill of Sion when also upon his asking as he did John 17.20 he will give him the Heathen for his Inheritance and the uttermost part of the Earth for his Possession and when he will make him his First-borne and so Heir to the Kingdome higher than the Kings of the Earth Psal 89.27 and Prince of the Kings of the Earth Rev. 1.5 and therefore when he destroyes the Beast and false Prophet at the Armageddon Battel his Name shall be written upon his Vesture and upon his Thigh whose Name also is called the Word of God v. 13. yea he had a name written that no man knows but he himself v. 12. but yet v. 16. his Name is so written King of Kings and Lord of Lords Rev. 19.11 c. whereupon he with his raised Saints shall Reign upon Earth 1000 years Rev. 20.4 6. which will be Gods said setting of his King Christ upon his holy Hill of Sion and his possessing of his said Davidical Kingdome for ever 2 Sam. 7. which from our 12 Foundations of our Faith hereof is abundantly evident with others Hence also it is very observable Acts 15.16 17. that the Holy Spirit upon the Apostle James his speaking of the raising Davids Tabernacle which the Prophet Am. shews ch 9.11 the last shall be so that the people shall never more thenceforward be pulled up out of their own Land as also is said 2 Sam. 7 and to be when the fulness of the Gentiles shall come in as Rom. 11. which he stiles all the Heathen that are called by my name to which text of Amos S. James having spoken of the Gentils first call which was in part as he said by his mouth v. 7. he then adds after that I will returne which words are not in Amos 9. but Gods Spirit taught him so to explain them and build up his Tabernacle also and as declaring it not to belong to that first call of the Gentiles but as Amos saith when all the Heathen shall be called by his name and thereupon adds that great general Divine Truth here to be especially applyed to the raising of Davids Tabernacle v. 18. known unto God saith he are all his works from the beginning of the world as if he would thereby teach Gods people that it was Gods eternal designe then to raise Davids said Tabernacle in Christ according to his Covenant with David viz. for his House his Throne and Kingdome for ever as 2 Sam. 7. and that all the works of God in the world since tend to fulfil that which is his great designe in that time in the world namely for Christ to reign in the renewed state thereof with his Saints in it where they had all been before so Conteamed Persecuted and Oppressed by the black Prince of this present evil world and by ungodly men also called the children thereof namely of this present evil world And thus we may see in all these particulars Gods eternal decrees are confirmed and explained by Christ as they shall take place in that state in those times accordingly of which much more will be manifest from the Divine exactness the comprehensive usefulness and the certain determination of Christ in his said Key which is chiefly the spirit of Prophesie and the Testimony of Jesus as he had before spoken by his spirit in his Prophets Rev. 19.10 The next evidence of the said sate in the said times is from the most ancient Declarations Promises and Covenants in his word unto the Fathers as the next revealed grounds of the same The first was Gods own Declaration upon Mans Fall That the seed of the Woman should break the Serpents head and because he was to be only the seed of the Woman and not of the man therefore was necessarily to be the Son of God as he was manifest to be in the in 4000 years after by the breaking of the Serpents head by degrees in respect both of his head of Policie and Power at last he should so make way for his own sovereignty and the Dominion over the Creatures at last to be restored to him as largely is to be seen in our Treatise on Gen. 3.15 so that in
