33.1 2 3. When Israel was to go out of the Land of Aegypt the Lord commanded them to ask every one of his Neighbour jewels of Silver and jewels of Gold and the Lord gave them favour in the sight of the AEgyptians so that they did obtain what they demanded by the which the Israelites were inriched by the spoyl of the Aegyptians and so it shall be at that day with the people of God they shall injoy the spoyl of their enemies for they are the true Heirs to the riches of the World present and that which is to come 1 Tim. 4.8 1 Corinth 3.22 Math. 19 29. So that they shall eate the riches of the Gentiles as also saith the Scriptures Yee shall be named the Priests of the Lord and men shall call you the Ministers of our God yee shall eat the riches of the Gentiles and be exalted with their glory Isa. 61.6 Here we see that the Lord is pleased to give them the riches of the Gentiles that is to say the riches of Sinners that although they heap up Silver like the dust and raiment like the clay yet the just shall put it on and the innocent shall divide the Silver so that their gain shall be consecrated to the Lord and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth therefore shall thy Gates be open continually neither day nor night shall they be shut that men may bring unto thee the riches of the Gentiles that thy Kings may be brought for the Nations and Kingdoms that will not serve thee shall parish and those Nations shall utterly be destroyed Job 27.16 Isa. 60 11 12. Cap. 66.11 Zech. 14.14 Revel. 21.24 From hence we may see that riches and glory and honour and a Kingdom nay and Crowns also shall be cast down before Christ and the Saints which shall be at their steps King Solomon in his glorious Reign was a lively Type of King Jesus in his glorious Reign and we know in King Solomons Reign there was great plenty of riches and glory such as was not in Jerusalem before or since and that there shall be so in Christs Reign was set out by those who came from the East to Ierusalem to worship Christ which when they had found him opened their Treasures and presented Gifts Gold Myrrhe Matth. 2.11 which shews to us That when the Lord is King in Ierusalem how persons shall come from the utmost parts of the Earth to submit to Christs and the Saints royal Dignity and present unto them the choycest of riches which agreeth to the Scriptures before mentioned so having discovered that Christ and his Saints shall reign in Ierusalem and of that excellent peace and sovereignty that they shall injoy in their time with riches and the glory of the Gentiles I pass now unto the Seventh Particular which is the description of the New Jerusalem A clear description of New Jerusalem not built by the Jews at their return out of Captivity The very consideration of this New Jerusalem is sufficient to ravish the hearts of all such as are heavenly-minded it was that which did stay and support the mindes of the suffering Saints of old and indeed it is sufficient because it is of such an excellent situation that it is to be admired as the Psalmist faith Beautiful for situation the joy of the whole earth is Mount Sion on the side of the North is the City of the great King God is known in her Palace for a refuge which City in the Mystery is no more but that New Ierusalem which shall be the City of the great King Psal. 48.2 compare Psal. 47.8 even so New Ierusalem shall come down from God out of Heaven and being situated about Sion it is Metaphorically called mount Sion because Sion of old did represent it which was Davids Throne the which David and his Throne was a lively type of Christ and his Throne and as David placed himself in Sion with his Family so Jesus Christ will place himself in that New Jerusalem with his Family the which Family consisteth of risen saved glorified Saints the which agreeth with the Word of the Lord that faith The people that are saved shall walk in the light of it and the Kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honour unto it and there shall in no wise enter into it any that defileth neither whatsoever worketh abomination or maketh a lye but they which are written in the Lambs Book of Life Rev l. 21.24 25 26 27. but now I shall pass briefly to a review of that glorious City New Jerusalem the which is treated of Revel. 21. beginning at the tenth verse And he carried me away in the Spirit unto a great and high Mountain and shewed me that great City the holy Jerusalem descending out of Heaven from God having the glory of God and her light was like unto a stone most precious even like a Jasper stone clear as Chrystal and had a wall great and high and had twelve Gates and at the Gates twelve Angels and names written thereon which are the names of the twelve Tribes of the Children of Israel on the East three Gates on the North three Gates on the South three Gates and on the West three Gates and the wall of the City had twelve foundations and in them the names of the twelve Apostles of the Lambe and he that talked with me had a golden reed to meajure the City and the Gates thereof and the wall thereof and the City lyeth four square and the length is as large as the breadth and he measured the City with the reed twelve thousand Furlongs and the length and the breadth and the height of it are equal and he measured the wall thereof an hundred forty and four Cubits according to the measure of man that is of the Angel and the building of the wall of it was of Jasper and the City pure Gold like unto clear Glass and the foundations of the wall of the City were garnished with all manner of precious Stones the first foundation was Jasper the second Saphir the third Chalcedonie the fourth an Emerauld the fifth Sardonix the sixth Sardins the seventh Chrysolite the eighth Beryl the ninth Topas the tenth Chrysophrasus the eleventh a Jacinth the twelfth an Amethyst and the twelve Gates were twelve Pearls every severall Gate of one Pearl the streets of the City were pure Gold as it were transparent Glass and I saw no Temple therein for the Lord God Almighty and the Lambe were the Temple of it and the City had no need of the Sun neither of the Moon to shine in it for the glory of God did lighten it and the Lambe was the light thereof and the Nations of them that are saved shall walk in the light of it and the Kings of the North shall bring their glory and honour into it and the Gates of it shall not be shut at all by day and there shall be no night there and they

year of the Lords vengeance and the year of recompence for the controversie of Sion I beheld till the Thrones were cast down and the antient of days did sit whose garment was white as Snow and the hair of his head like unto pure Wool his Throne was like the fiery flame and his Wheels like burning fire a fiery flame issued and came forth from before him thousand thousands ministred unto him and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him the Judgement was set and the Books were opened I beheld then because of the noyse and great words which the Horn spake I beheld even until the Beast was slain and his body destroyed and given to the burning flame let the Heathen be awaked and come down to the valley of Jehoshaphat for there will I sit to judge all the Heathen round about put you in the Sickle for the Harvest is ripe come get you down for the Press is full the fat over-floweth for the wickedness is great multitudes in the valley of Decision for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of Decision and the Angel thrust in his Sickle into the earth and gathered the Vine of the earth and cast it into the great Wine-press of the Wrath of God and the Wine-press was trodden without the City and bloud came out of the Wine-press even to the Horse bridles by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs Isa. 59.16 17 18. Chap. 34.8 Dan. 7.9 10 11. Joel 3.11 12 13 14. Rev. 14.19 20. From hence you may see what great slaughter the Lord will make with that great Antichrist and his Army when hee comes to try Sions Controversie Moreover see from the Prophet Ezekiel Therefore thou Son of Man Prophesie against Gog and say Thus saith the Lord behold I am against thee O Gog the chief Prince of Mesheck and Tubal I will turn thee back and leave but the sixth part of thee and will cause thee to come up from the North parts and will bring thee upon the Mountains of Israel and I will smite thy how out of thy left hand and cause thine Arrow to fall out of thy right hand thou shalt fall upon the Mountains of Israel thou and all thy Bands and the people that is with thee I will give thee unto the ravenous Birds of every sort and unto the Beast of the field to be devoured thou shalt fall upon the open field for I have spoken it saith the Lord And thou Son of Man thus saith the Lord speak unto every fethered Fowl and to every Beast of the Field assemble your selves and come gather your selves on every side to my Sacrifice that I do Sacrifice to you even a great Sacrifice upon the Mountains of Israel that you may eat flesh and drink bloud yee shall eat the flesh of the mighty and drink the bloud of the Princes of the earth of Rams of Lambs and of Goats of Bullocks all of them the fatlings of Bashan and yee shall eat fat till yee be filled and drink bloud till yee be drunken of my Sacrifice which I have Sacrificed for you Ezek. 39.1 2 3 4 5. Compare verse 17 18 19. Isa. 34.5 6. all which Scriptures and many more do shew that great destruction and total fall that the last and great Antichrist shall have upon the Mountains of Israel A word or two to shew that the Jesus the King shall restore their Kingdom into their hands even the Jews He shall stand and feed in the strength of the Lord and in the Majesty of the name of his God and they shall abide for now shall he hee great unto the ends of the earth and this man shall be our peace when the Assyrians shall come into our Land and when he shall tread in our Palaces the Lord of Hoast hath sworn saying Surely so shall it come to pass as I have purposed so shall it stand that I will break the Assyrian in my Land and upon my Mountaines tread him under foot then shall his yoke depart from off them and his burden depart from off their shoulders for the Lord will have mercy on Jacob and will yet chuse Israel and set them into their own Land and the strangers shall bee joyned with them and they shall cleave to the House of Jacob and the people shall take them and bring them to their place and the House of Israel shall possesse them in the Land of the Lord for Servants and Hand-maids and they shall take them Captives whose Captives they were and they shall rule over their Oppressors Isa. 14.1 2 3. compare 24 25. verses So we may see that it was no Childish question that Christs Disciples asked him whether he would at that time restore the Kingdom to Israel though it were a matter too inquisitive for them to ask such a question for to know the Times and Seasons but here you may see that there is an appointed time of the Father in the which it should be accomplished and indeed David was a lively Type of Christ which had no sooner dispaced the Jebusites and cast them out of Sion but he made it his own Seat and the place for his Family So likewise it will be with the Lord Jesus that no sooner shall he appear upon the Mountains of Israel but he shall destroy that last and great Jebusite or the Man of Sin or the great and last Amichrist more properly called and give it unto the Jews for a Possession that they may dwell there and have it in possession The seed also of his Servants shall inherite it and they that love his name shall dwell therein Psal. 69.35 36. so that hence I have discovered briefly that great Warre upon the Mountains of Israel with the total ruine of the last and great Antichrist and the restoration of the Kingdom into the hands of Israel and leaving of these few Scriptures for the further proof of this thing I shall passe to the Sixth Particular Isa. 33.1 2 3 4 5. Ezek. 38.18 19 20 21 22. Rev. 11.10 chap. 6.15 The glorious Reign of Christ and his Saints upon Earth a thousand years The Discovery of the glorious Reign of Christ the great King and the Saints upon the Earth and the great peace that shall be in his day Christian Friend here is that the consideration whereof is sufficient to bear up thy spirit in the worst of times it was that which made the Apostle Paul not count his life dear to him that he might finish his course with joy so that hee was contented to suffer with him because he knew he should reign with him but for the better understanding of this glorious reign I shall divide this subject into several parts The first is That Christ shall reign as King on the Earth even in Jerusalem Secondly That the Saints shall have an high Prerogative so as to reign on earth even as Christ And Thirdly I shall put these two together with some other

considerable particulars shewing you that Christ and the Saints Dominion shall be alike and that they shall reign alike they being joynt Heirs of one and the same Kingdom alike only hee in all things shall have the preheminence and so I passe to the first That Christ shall have a Kingdom on earth and in Jerusalem This we may see the Angel did declare or make known unto the Virgin saying For loe thou shalt conceive in thy Wombe and bear a Son and thou shalt call his name Iesus he shall hee great and he called the Son of the most High and the Lord God shall give unto him the Throne of his Father David and hee shall reign over the House of Jacob for ever and of his Kingdom shall be no end Luke 1.31 32 33. From hence you may see that the Lord Jesus Christ shall injoy Davids Throne which was not Spiritual and in Heaven but on earth and in Ierusalem even so the Lord Jesus Christ in the same place shall reign Spiritually and Temporally over the very same people the Prophet also affirming the very same thing saith Then shall the Sun be ashamed and the Moon confounded when the Lord of Host shall reign in Mount Sion and in Jerusalem before his antients gloriously for behold the day cometh saith the Lord that I will raise up unto David a righteous branch a King shall reign and prosper and shall execute judgement and justice in the earth in his day shall Judah be saved and Israel shall dwell safely and this is the name whereby they shall call him the Lord our righteousnesse Isa. 24.23 Jer. 23.5 6. Thus you may see plainly that the Lord Jesus which is called the Son of David shall possesse the Throne of David Moreover you may see what the Prophet Micha also saith to the proof of this truth In that day saith the Lord I will assemble her that halteth and gather her that is driven out and her that I have afflicted and I will make her that halteth a remnant and her that was cast off a strong Nation and the Lord shall reign over them in Mount Sion for henseforth and for ever and there was given him Dominion and Glory and a Kingdom that all People Nations and Languages should serve him agreeing with the Psalmist which saith Yet will I set my King upon my holy Hill of Sion I will declare the Decree the Lord hath said unto me Thou art my Son this day have I begotten thee ask of me and I will give thee the Heathen for thine inheritance and the outmost parts of the earth for thy possession thou shalt break them with a rod of Iron and dash them in peeces like a Potters vessel Psal. 2.6 7 8 9. Dan. 7.14 Micha 4.6 7. For behold I create new Heavens and a new Earth and the former shall not be remembred nor come into minde but be you glad and rejoyce in the thing which I create for behold I create Jerusalem a rejoycing and her people a joy and I will rejoyce in Jerusalem and joy in my people and the voyce of weeping shall be no more heard in her nor the voyce of crying and he shall stand and feed in the strength of the Lord and in the Majesty of the name of the Lord his God and they shall abide for now shall he be great to the ends of the earth Isa. 65.17 18 19. Psal. 67.4 Jerem. 3.17 Isa. 62.7 8 9 10 11 12. These Scriptures and many more that might be added to the proof of the first Particular That the Lord Jesus Christ shall reign on the earth in Ierusalem The second thing is to prove That the Saints also shall receive a Kingdom and reign on earth Unto the proof of this I shall begin with the words of our blessed Saviour which saith Yee are they that have continued with me in my temptations I appoint unto you a Kingdom as my Father hath appointed unto me that yee may eate and drink at my Table in my Kingdom and sit upon Thrones judging the twelve Tribes of Israel Whereunto he adds also another sentence in the Apocalyps very pertinent to the proof of this saying He that overcometh and keepeth my works to the end I will give him power over the Nations and hee shall rule them with a rod of Iron and shall break them like a Potters Vessel even as I have received of my Father Luke 22.28 29 30. Revel. 2.26 27 28. From hence wee may see that as the Lord gave unto his Son Jesus a Kingdom in reference to his Sufferings and his obedience unto him even so Jesus the Christ will give his people a Kingdom in reference to their sufferings and obedience to his will and that this is to be on Eatth I shall give you a plain text even as saith the Spirit of Christ in these words And they sung a new Song saying Thou art worthy to take the Book and to open the Seals thereof because thou wast killed and hast redeemed us to God by thy bloud out of every Kindred and Tongue and People and Nation and hast made us to our God Kings and Priests and we shall reign on the earth Moreover they shall injoy that Sovereignty so long as the Sun and Moon indures for so saith the Lord by his Prophet in these words And in the days of those Kingdoms shall the God of Heaven set up a Kingdom that shall never be destroyed and this Kingdom shall not be given to another people but it shall break and destroy all these Kingdoms and it shall stand for ever and the Kingdom and Dominion and Greatness of the Kingdom under the whole Heavens shall be given to the Saints of the most High whose Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom and all people shall serve and obey him Dan. 2.44 Cap. 7.27 28. Revel. 5.10 from these Scriptures we may see that the Saints shall injoy a Kingdom in the which they shall reign and rule the Nations with a rod of Iron so that the wicked shall be as ashes under the soals of their feet And this Kingdom also we see is to be held on earth neither can there be any other interpretations given upon these Scriptures without great abuse to the plaine meaning of the Spirit in these Scriptures If it be objected and said That these Scriptures bespeak or fore-shew the flourishing condition of the people of God while they live in this corrupt Tabernacle of flesh I shall deny and make this answer That it is the portion of the Saints nay all of them to suffer in this Life and the nigher the appearance of Jesus Christ the greater shall the suffering be so that through many tribulations they shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven Dan. 7.21 2 Thess. 1.9 Acts 14.22 2 Tim. 3.12 Rev 6.9 10 11. and many more Scriptures I might give as to the proof of this for there shall bee such Trials for the godly that should not the days be shortened no flesh would

by abusing the worthy name of God speaking reproachfully of him and his Son Christ and slighting those Laws and Ordinances which are given forth to be practised till his second and great coming with the abusing of themselves in uncleaneness and Lusts of the flesh amongst which they contend for the community of Women which is none of the least of their Uncleanenesses and make themselves worse than the savage Beasts Of that sort are the rude Ranters and the blasphemous Quakers the which have cast off Civil Humanity and this generation of men are the men that will cause the Lord to arise and take vengeance upon the earth for so saith the word of the Lord in these words And Enoch also the seventh from Adam Prophecied of these saying Behold the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his Saints to execute Judgement upon all and to convince all that are ungodly amongst them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodlily committed and of all their hard speeches which ungodly Sinners have spoken against him So that we may see that the Lord will send his Son in flaming fire against all ungodly men but chiefly they that walk after the Lust of the flesh in uncleaneness as hee once did destroy the world and such like Sinners with an over-flowing Floud Gen. 6.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8. Jude 4. compare 14 15. 2 Pet. 2.4 compare 10. cap. 3.3 compare 10. See also vers. 7. From hence you may see that that ungodly generation of men that are now in the World is a lively sign of Christs coming And so I pass briefly to the third The Third sign of Christs coming Is the Echo or sound of these two things in the World as namely the Preaching of the Gospel about in the Nations and the Warres and rumours of Warres that do accompany it for when these two things go together then Christ saith the end is very nigh and although the Gospel have been preached before in a private way that is to say in some particular Nation or privately in that Nation yet never was the Gospel preached to Nations and Rulers as it is in our days Obj. If it should be Objected and said That the Gospel hath been preached in Nations a great while by the Ministery of the Nation To which I answer Ans. That as the Congregations of the Nation was never called a Church of Christ nor her Teachers the Ministers of the Gospel neither hath that kinde of Doctrine which they have preached been called the preaching of the Gospel If it should be demanded of me what it is I should answer to them in their particuler order First the National Church is called by the name of the Cities of the Nation which is a borrowed word from Christs Church Yee are a City set upon an Hill Mat. 5.14 Rev. 16.19 and that this City of the Nations is meant the National Church is because they shall begin to decay and sink and shall also be destroyed at the time that Babylon shall come in remembrance before God whereby she shall receive the Cup at his hands for the Nations or the National Church hath been stained is and shall be with the corruptions or pollutions of Romes Doctrine Jer. 51.7 8. Again if you shall ask me what the National Ministers are called in Scripture I shall shew you as followeth they are called Merchants of the Earth or the Angels of the Waters now the word Angel signifieth Minister as Revel. 1.20 and the Waters signifie Nations for so saith the Spirit The Waters that thou sawest are Multitudes Nations and Tongues Rev. 17.15 so it is clear that the Angels of the Waters are meant the Ministers of the Nations so that they are neither called Ministers of Christ nor Ministers of the Gospel but the Ministers of the Gospel are called by another name in the same place even the Angel of the Altar and that Christ is our Altar is clear see Heb. 13.10 Rev. 16.7 Thirdly Why their Preaching is not called Gospel-preaching although they make use of the Gospel is because they teach for Doctrine the Traditions of their Fathers and the Apostle calleth not such Gospel-preaching but saith to the Galathians I marvel that you are so soon moved away from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another Gospel which is not another but there are some that trouble you and would pervert the Gospel of Christ Gal. 1.6 7. so that those persons that do pervert any of the sayings of Christ according to Scripture account cannot be called the Ministers of the Gospel nor their Preaching Gospel-preaching which the Ministers of our Nation have done that is to say mingled the Commands of Christ with their Traditions and so cannot be meant that Gospel-preaching which shall bee the fore-runner of Jesus Christ but that the Gospel shall be preached again in the plain way of it that is to say in the way which Christ appointed when hee ascended up on high is clear Mat. 24.14 Rev. 14.6 The Fourth and last Sign of the second coming of Jesus Christ is those false Signs and Miracles that shall bee wrought by the false Prophets for a little before the coming of Christ there will be a Generation of men that will deny the way and Ordinances of the Gospel because they are not accompanied with Miracles and so shall deny the power of the Word The Devil seeing this hee shall impower the false Prophets whereby they shall do great Signs and lying Wonders to deceive by multitudes all incredulous persons who will beleeve a lying Sign before they will beleeve that Word that was confirmed by Signs for when persons do not like to retain God in their knowledge God is pleased to send them strong delusions to beleeve a Lye and that there are many such now in our days that have denied the Truth that once they owned and are grown to such a height as that they do shew many lying Signs if any shal question the truth of this let them but go to London and go to those Meetings that they call the Quakers Meetings and they shall see it apparently enough But now to prove that false Signs and lying Wonders before-runners of Christs coming see from these Scriptures following Mat. 7.22 Cap. 24.24 2 Thess. 2.9 Rev. 13.13 14. Cap. 16.14 15. Friends I should adde some more Signs of Christs coming as the gathering together of the Jews into their own Land which certainly might easily be proved did we but understand the consultation that there is amongst them but the returning of the Fleet from the Straights will give us more certain intelligence as to that thing and so I shall leave these few Signs unto your consideration and pass to the Tenth and last Particular A profitable Application of the Sum of what is fore-mentioned Christian Reader I having shewed you what excellent injoyment the Lord hath laid up for his people even for such as seek him as for hidden treasure Sith
