mystery of God not to be finished till the seventh Trumpet blow What can he or I say to this unless we have heard the sound thereof Rev. 10.7 Thirdly Though he speak with considence yet can I but in much confusion declare that as Christ in the flesh was none other but the mighty God even the Father glory manifest in flesh so Christ in the Spirit or Christ in us is God manifest in our flesh as in his Isa 9.6 Joh. 14.9.10 20. ver Fourthly Christ in us the hope of glory is this to me that the Glory he had with God before the world though vailed in his flesh while living yet after that his pure flesh was sacrificed and slaine unto God by death was fully revealed in the Resurrection and he raised to glory was this in truth even God raised and his glory fully revealed in him Psal 68.1 18. 1 Pet. 1.20 21. Fifthly Christ was raised a spiritual body and though nothing but flesh appeared to his Disciples not able to behold his glory yet that he was a spiritual and glorious body indeed appeares by this that our bodies shall be spiritual also in the mystery of the Resurrection much more was his body spiritual when raised 1 Cor. 15.44 51. Sixthly Therefore Christ in us is called the Hope of Glory because God being in our flesh as in his we have hereby hope to be raised up in the same glory or heavenly Image and to attain to the Resurrection of the dead that God even the Father may fully appeare in our flesh as in him raised from death that God may be all in all Phil. 3.10 11 12 14. Joh. 17.22 24. Sevently As the Captain of our salvation was made perfect by suffering and Christ through suffering entered into Glory so in the fellowship of his sufferings in our flesh we come to the power of his Resurrection and appearance of that glory in us Heb. 2.10 Heb. 5.8.9 Eighthly Therefore as the Apostle saith If the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you he that raised up Jesus from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies so saith he again Alwaies bearing in our bodies the dying of the Lord Jesus that the life of Jesus may be manifest in our mortal flesh Rom. 8.11 2 Cor. 4.10 11. Ninthly This shews that as the Spirit of Jesus or power of God in our flesh is still slaying and crucifying it that we dye dayly so the raising and quickning of our mortal bodies is when the life of Jesus appeares not onely after death but even in our mortal flesh while we live or while our flesh is mortal Yet as Christs life when raised was onely in the Father so shall ours be in the Resurrection though we live in the flesh our life shall be in the Father alone Joh. 14.20 Tenthly As Christ when raised began to reign God exalting him at his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour and to give forth the Spirit on the Saints so the Saints reign with Christ must needs be in the Spirit also Acts 5.31 2 Tim. 2.12 Eleventhly 'T is no earthly Government or wordly glory is promised to the Saints but as in the blood of the Lamb they overcome c. so by that blood shed forth in them they are redeemed from among men and reigne to God Rev. 12.11 Twelfthly Therefore 't is said Rev. 5.10 He hath made us to our God Kings and Priests and we shall reigne on the Earth that is thou the Lamb slain in us v. 6. and by thy blood v. 9. For as we are made Kings to our God not over men so we must be Priests too sacrificing and slaying not men but all that is self in us unto God for the good of men and not our own Therefore in the reign of the Saints with Christ a thousand yeers they are made Priests of God and of Christ Rev. 20.6 Whether Christ shall come to reign personally in flesh and how I know not but that he shall come in flesh again as you said I question if it be not far from that spiritual appearance promised Zech. 14.5.9 1. For if it be now a Spiritual body what 's the fleshly one you speak shall appear 2. If he come again on earth in flesh how can he appear to all the Saints at once for the coming of the Son of man shall be as lightning shining from east to west Matth. 24.27 3. A fleshly body can be but circumscriptively in one place at once therefore to meet with all the Saints then on earth Christ must move swifter then the sun here and there not onely from East to West but everywhere North and South 4. What his spiritual body is I may shew you with God another time and how in all places and persons though it appear not as yet 5. How Jesus came in like manner to the disciples as they saw him go into heaven Acts 1.11 was told you in the Call to the Churches the Letter to Mr. Vavasor Powel 6. For those men of Galilee as is there said should see him that is they while living for after death when he comes the last day as they say he will be come down before they can see him coming therefore they cannot see him coming down in the same manner as he was taken up into heaven he being come down as I said before to raise them 1 Thes 4.16 17. 7. Again After a little while ye shall not see me in flesh and after a little while ye shall see me in spirit therefore the sight of him was spiritual for his fleshly appearance that men expect at the last day was not a little but a long time to come Joh. 16.19 8. Lastly I will not leave you comfortless or Orphans I will come unto you Yet a little while and the world seeth me no more but ye see me How Because I live ye shall live also That is when that spirit or power of God in me shall appear in you ye though living in the flesh shall see your life in the Father alone for in that day ye shall know that I am in the Father and you in me and I in you Joh. 14.18 19 20. Sir you had three distinctions of the Reign of Christ I 'll tell you a fourth from your own 1. Providential over the Nations 2. Spiritual over the Church 3. Monarchical over the Church and Nations together Zach. 14.8.9 11. compared But this Monarchical Government of Christ and the Saints of the most High with him will not be in Wordly Government and glory but when God shall staine the pride of all glory and bring to contempt all the honourable of the Earth when God shall confound or cloud all Worldly Government and gross darkness shall cover the people then shall the Saints of the most high arise or shine and raign in glory Compare these Scriptures Isa 60.1 2. and see what confusion in Isa 24.1 to 22. in that confusion of
