againe they think it strange that we run not in the same excesse of riot with them and therefore speak they evil of us but let them know they shall give an account to him which is ready to jude the quick and dead 1 Pet. 4.3 4.5 Obj. But there are many Noble wise and prudent men in this Nation and most or all of the Kings and Princes of other Nations that take part with them and who dares say that they are such Answ. Most or all of the Kings Princes and nobles of the World are ignorant of the knowledge of God and of his great design and work that he hath to do upon the earth for had they known it saith Paul they would not have crucisied the Lord of glory 1 Cor. 22.8 And did those Princes and great men in our days know it they would not crucifie him in his members but as Christ saith These things will they do unto you because they have not known the Father nor me Joh. 16.2 3. And indeed the world by wisdom knew not God therefore saith Paul The wisdom of this world and of the Princes of the world comes all to nought 2 Cor. 2.6 But as for the wisdom of God that shall endure for ever he revealeth it to them that fear him and his Covenant is to give them understanding without respect of Persons Psal. 25.12.13 14 with James 1.5 And there is not many wise nor noble nor mighty that God hath chosen but he hath chosen the poor in this world rich in faith and heirs of his Kingdom James 2.5 and God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise and weak thing of the world to confound the mighty and base things and things that are dispised hath God chosen to the end that no flesh should glory in his presence See 1 Cor. 1.26 27 28 29. Therefore saith Christ I thank thee Father Lord of heaven and earth that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes even so Father for so it seemed good in thy sight Luke 10.21 Thus having shown the reason why men salsly accuse us and speak evill of us as of evil doers I shall proceed to vindicate my self and others from the next reproach and slander namely that we are the false Prophets that shall arise in the last days and deceive many In answer to which I shall proceed in order thus First we will consider which are the last days in which they should arise Secondly how we may know a false Prophet from a true one And first I affirme that the last days in which the false Prophets should arise did begin in the time when Christ and his Apostles were upon the earth which is cleared by considering the world in its three Ages the first days of it being from the creation till the Flood and after till Moses by whom the Law was given the second days or middle age of the world being from Moses to Christ the last days from Christ to the end which days shall be shortned for the elects sake Now that the false Prophets did begin to arise when Christ was upon the earth and his Apostles is evident first from Mat. 24.4 5 where Christ warns his Disciples to take heed that no man deceive them 〈…〉 for many shall come in my name and say I am Christ and deceive many therefore those were the last days in which deceivers should come because he warned his Disciples then in the flesh not to be deceived Secondly that those were the last days in Scripture-Language appeareth Act. 2.16 17. in these words This is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel that it should come to pass in the last days saith God I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh c. And this was then fulfilled Therefore these were the last days Thirdly the Apostle saith Heb. 1.1 2. God who at sundry times and in divers manners spake to our fathers by the prophets hath in these last days spoken to us by his Son c. Therefore those days in which Christ was in the flesh and spake to us the minde of his Father were the last days in which the false prophets should arise for saith Peter As there were false prophets among the people namely the people of Israel under Moses even so shall there be false teachers amongst you namely under the Gospel Fourthly that those were the last days in which false Prophets should arise and did arise is undeniable 1 Joh. 3.18 in these words where he speaks in the present time thus Little children it is the last time and as you have heard that Antichrist shall come even so now there are many Antichrists by which we know that it is the last time Therefore the false prophets and teachers did arise in those days and that out of the Church of Christ for saith the Apostle vers. 19. They went out from us and again saith Paul The mystery of iniquity doth already work 2 Thes. 2.7 And I know saith he that after my departure grievous wolves shall enter in among you not sparing the flock And of your own selves shall men arise speaking perverse things to draw away disciples after them Acts 20.29 30. Thus we see when the last days began and when the false prophets did arise and ever since that they have continued and increased in the world And without question the Pope may from hence well plead his antiquity and so his succession for I believe they might be in times past in the true Church at Rome for we see that false prophets and teachers had their rise out of the Apostolike Church in the Primitive times But there is another Prophecie to be fulfilled in these last days of all namely that Christ will consume and destroy them with the spirit of his mouth and the brightness of his coming 2 Thes. 28. this compared with Micah 4.1 2 3 4 5. in these words In the last days it shall come to pass that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains and exalted above the hills and people shall flow unto it And many nations shall come and say Come let us go up to the mountain of the Lord and to the house of the God of Jacob and he shall teach us his ways and we will walk in his paths for the law shall go out of Zion c. And the Lord shall judge among many people and rebuke strong nations afar off and they shall break their swords into plough-shares and their spears into pruning-hooks nation shall not lift up a sword against nation neither shall they learn war any more But every man shall sit under his vine and under his fig-tree and none shall make them afraid For all people will walk every one in the name of his god and we will walk in the Name of the Lord our God for ever and ever These things shall come
