A89056	A further discovery of the mystery of the last times; as an addition to a little book, called Some discoveries of the mystery of the last times, bordering upon the coming of the Lord Jesus. Set forth for the good of all men; but especially of those who in these dissenting times (wherein Ephraim envieth Juda, and Juda vexeth Ephraim) know not where to settle themselves, or to what society of Christians to joyn themselves: wherein is (as simply and plainly, as the author was able to open those mysterious scriptures quoted in this following treatise) shewed the cause of all our divisions and contentions about matters pertaining to form and order in the church of Jesus Christ; and wherein is moderately proved from those scriptures these particulars. 1. The flourishing and building condition of the church of Jesus Christ in the time of the gospel. ... 7. Lastly, that the Lord Jesus will by himself destroy all those enemies, and deliver his people, when the restoration of all things shall be.

and_o upon_o her_o head_n a_o crown_n of_o twelve_o star_n now_o i_o think_v no_o man_n will_v deny_v but_o the_o church_n which_o undoubted_o be_v the_o woman_n which_o be_v clothe_v with_o the_o sun_n when_o she_o have_v such_o abundance_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o it_o sit_v upon_o they_o as_o fire_n and_o they_o be_v fill_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o speak_v with_o tongue_n and_o be_v enable_v with_o power_n to_o distribute_v the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o gospel_n unto_o who_o they_o do_v appertain_v and_o when_o the_o church_n be_v crown_v with_o twelve_o star_n namely_o the_o

evince_n but_o for_o the_o ordinance_n which_o be_v liken_v to_o the_o moon_n they_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n whole_o darken_v from_o that_o they_o be_v in_o the_o first_o time_n and_o as_o for_o the_o

which_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o text_n say_v it_o be_v two_o man_n and_o two_o woman_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v mean_v of_o that_o matrimonial_a couple_v of_o man_n and_o wife_n and_o

the_o sodomlte_n in_o any_o outward_a worship_n but_o only_o they_o be_v preacher_n of_o righteousness_n which_o be_v clear_a by_o that_o speech_n of_o abraham_n where_o he_o pray_v for_o sodom_n gen._n 18._o 24._o and_o say_v peradventure_o there_o be_v find_v fifty_o righteous_a so_o likewise_o in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o come_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n those_o that_o be_v true_o

to_o watch_v over_o his_o action_n and_o he_o that_o be_v pray_v or_o prepare_v always_o to_o pray_v can_v be_v void_a of_o righteousness_n towards_o man_n another_o objection_n be_v make_v touch_v the_o raise_n of_o the_o witness_n for_o say_v they_o it_o be_v true_a the_o witness_n be_v to_o lie_v dead_a but_o there_o be_v a_o time_n for_o their_o raise_n again_o and_o this_o be_v our_o practice_n sore_o we_o be_v raise_v the_o witness_n from_o death_n to_o meet_v the_o lord_n in_o zion_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o witness_n be_v to_o rise_v and_o to_o stand_v upon_o their_o foot_n but_o the_o question_n be_v when_o this_o shall_v be_v which_o i_o believe_v upon_o examination_n will_v appear_v to_o be_v when_o the_o lord_n appear_v from_o heaven_n which_o i_o shall_v prove_v thus_o as_o it_o be_v say_v rev._n 11._o 11._o and_o after_o three_o day_n and_o a_o half_a the_o spirit_n of_o life_n from_o god_n enter_v into_o they_o and_o they_o stand_v upon_o their_o foot_n and_o great_a fear_n fall_v upon_o all_o that_o see_v they_o which_o compare_v with_o ezekiel_n 37._o and_o rev._n 20._o 5._o will_v appear_v to_o be_v that_o resurrection_n speak_v of_o in_o those_o two_o place_n but_o it_o may_v be_v say_v those_o place_n speak_v of_o the_o raise_n of_o the_o dead_a out_o of_o their_o grave_n to_o meet_v the_o lord_n in_o zion_n but_o this_o of_o revel_n 11._o must_v be_v mean_v of_o the_o raise_v the_o people_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n out_o of_o that_o darkness_n wherein_o they_o lie_v in_o the_o antichristian_a state_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a it_o seem_v to_o be_v so_o but_o mark_v well_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o place_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v it_o be_v at_o the_o lord_n appear_v as_o to_o i_o it_o seem_v clear_a from_o the_o 12_o verse_n where_o it_o be_v say_v and_o they_o hear_v a_o great_a voice_n from_o heaven_n say_v come_v up_o hither_o and_o they_o ascend_v up_o to_o heaven_n in_o a_o cloud_n and_o their_o enemy_n behold_v they_o which_o compare_v with_o 1_o thes._n 4._o it_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v when_o the_o lord_n jesus_n appear_v from_o heaven_n with_o a_o shout_n and_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o archangel_n as_o it_o be_v in_o ver_fw-la 16._o beside_o mark_v the_o effect_n that_o do_v follow_v upon_o the_o rise_n of_o the_o witness_n for_o it_o be_v say_v verse_n 13._o and_o the_o same_o hour_n there_o be_v a_o great_a earthquake_n and_o the_o ten_o part_n of_o the_o city_n fall_v and_o in_o the_o earthquake_n be_v slay_v of_o man_n 7000_o and_o the_o remnant_n be_v affright_v and_o give_v glory_n to_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n so_o that_o i_o think_v no_o man_n will_v affirm_v there_o be_v any_o such_o effect_n wrought_v by_o any_o arise_v from_o death_n of_o the_o witness_n in_o these_o our_o day_n and_o thus_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v answer_v this_o objection_n it_o be_v yet_o further_o object_v that_o the_o change_n that_o be_v wrought_v in_o this_o nation_n be_v some_o token_n of_o the_o lord_n hand_n for_o we_o may_v plain_o see_v that_o there_o be_v many_o man_n that_o be_v before_o wicked_a person_n both_o swearer_n and_o lascivious_a in_o their_o life_n and_o conversation_n that_o upon_o their_o come_n in_o be_v change_v in_o their_o life_n likewise_o there_o be_v many_o young_a man_n that_o be_v of_o no_o gift_n and_o part_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o world_n be_v now_o able_a to_o dispense_v the_o word_n and_o to_o pray_v very_o heavenly_a sometime_o to_o the_o admiration_n of_o the_o hearer_n insomuch_o as_o they_o be_v force_v to_o say_v god_n be_v in_o you_o of_o a_o truth_n and_o therefore_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o testimony_n that_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n be_v in_o this_o work_n and_o that_o he_o will_v prosper_v it_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v

to_o lightning_n now_o what_o form_n have_v lightning_n but_o only_a glory_n now_o what_o glory_n do_v we_o see_v in_o any_o one_o of_o these_o profession_n above_o other_o only_o as_o one_o man_n exceed_v another_o in_o gift_n of_o nature_n education_n or_o learning_n so_o they_o excel_v one_o the_o other_o but_o not_o as_o i_o be_o able_a to_o comprehend_v in_o any_o other_o outward_a glory_n beside_o mark_v in_o the_o first_o time_n there_o be_v abundance_n of_o outward_a glory_n the_o spirit_n sit_v upon_o the_o apostle_n like_v to_o fire_n and_o they_o be_v fill_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o do_v work_v miracle_n but_o this_o second_o appear_v of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n will_v have_v much_o more_o glory_n as_o be_v see_v by_o peter_n james_n and_o john_n in_o the_o 17._o chapter_n of_o matthew_n but_o among_o these_o profession_n i_o do_v see_v no_o glory_n to_o be_v compare_v with_o these_o first_o time_n and_o therefore_o i_o do_v conceive_v this_o be_v not_o the_o appearance_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o thus_o much_o to_o these_o text_n three_o i_o shall_v come_v now_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o posture_n the_o people_n of_o the_o lord_n must_v wait_v in_o in_o this_o sleepy_a condition_n be_v watch_v and_o prayer_n without_o the_o benefit_n of_o ordinance_n in_o their_o purity_n until_o the_o lord_n appear_v from_o the_o lord_n threaten_v to_o overturn_v his_o own_o dispensation_n which_o be_v clear_a from_o ezekiel_n the_o 21._o 27._o where_o it_o be_v say_v i_o will_v overturn_v overturn_v overturn_v and_o it_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o until_o he_o come_v who_o right_n it_o be_v and_o i_o will_v give_v it_o he_o now_o what_o can_v be_v more_o clear_o speak_v then_o here_o it_o be_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o people_n destroy_v all_o his_o outward_a dispensation_n and_o it_o be_v with_o a_o threefold_a overturn_v which_o i_o expound_v thus_o first_o the_o lord_n will_v overturn_v his_o first_o temple_n build_v by_o solomon_n second_o the_o lord_n will_v overturn_v his_o second_o temple_n build_v by_o zorobabell_a and_o three_o the_o lord_n will_v overturn_v that_o outward_a worship_n which_o be_v first_o set_v up_o in_o gospel_n order_n and_o all_o this_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o people_n and_o all_o this_o experience_n teach_v if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o proof_n for_o it_o in_o scripture_n and_o say_v the_o text_n it_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o until_o he_o come_v who_o right_n it_o be_v and_o i_o will_v give_v it_o he_o from_o whence_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v overturn_v his_o own_o worship_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o people_n then_o much_o more_o these_o worship_n which_o be_v set_v up_o by_o man_n without_o any_o scripture_n rule_n which_o i_o can_v as_o yet_o see_v produce_v for_o their_o practice_n and_o it_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o from_o whence_o i_o infer_v that_o there_o be_v a_o time_n wherein_o there_o will_v be_v no_o outward_a worship_n and_o dispensation_n of_o god_n in_o their_o purity_n but_o his_o people_n must_v lie_v in_o bondage_n and_o captivity_n and_o to_o wait_v by_o watch_v and_o prayer_n until_o he_o come_v who_o right_n it_o be_v and_o then_o the_o lord_n will_v give_v it_o he_o and_o this_o be_v fulfil_v unto_o the_o jew_n without_o contradiction_n for_o they_o be_v disperse_v among_o the_o nation_n and_o touch_v the_o believe_a gentile_n i_o hope_v i_o have_v sufficient_o prove_v it_o already_o in_o my_o answer_n unto_o all_o the_o objection_n i_o have_v yet_o meet_v withal_o and_o shall_v go_v on_o further_o to_o clear_v it_o but_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o this_o be_v not_o mean_v the_o lord_n overturning_a his_o own_o dispensation_n but_o such_o as_o be_v set_v up_o by_o man_n without_o any_o warrant_n from_o his_o word_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o desire_v all_o man_n to_o consider_v the_o text_n itself_o where_o it_o be_v say_v and_o thou_o profane_v wicked_a prince_n of_o israel_n who_o day_n be_v come_v when_o iniquity_n shall_v have_v a_o end_n thus_o say_v the_o lord_n god_n remove_v the_o diadem_n and_o take_v off_o the_o crown_n this_o shall_v not_o be_v the_o same_o where_o i_o appeal_v to_o any_o man_n conscience_n if_o any_o thing_n can_v be_v here_o mean_v but_o the_o take_n away_o both_o of_o kingdom_n and_o priesthood_n beside_o the_o very_a experience_n of_o the_o do_v of_o it_o will_v evince_v this_o to_o be_v a_o truth_n second_o the_o lord_n have_v by_o zorobabel_n build_v a_o second_o temple_n which_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o people_n be_v destroy_v and_o his_o people_n captivate_v and_o for_o the_o three_o which_o be_v that_o mystical_a temple_n i_o mean_v those_o outward_a dispensation_n wherein_o the_o people_n of_o jesus_n christ_n do_v walk_v in_o gospel_n order_n in_o the_o first_o time_n have_v not_o antichrist_n defile_v they_o and_o set_v up_o that_o abomination_n which_o have_v make_v all_o the_o outward_a worship_n desolate_a and_o so_o the_o glory_n be_v depart_v from_o it_o as_o experience_n teach_v also_o so_o that_o now_o it_o remain_v the_o three_o overturn_v be_v past_a that_o it_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o until_o he_o come_v who_o right_a it_o be_v and_o then_o the_o lord_n will_v give_v it_o he_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n let_v his_o people_n be_v but_o diligent_a in_o those_o two_o duty_n of_o watch_v and_o prayer_n and_o then_o i_o suppose_v we_o need_v not_o so_o much_o press_v for_o outward_a discipline_n as_o to_o make_v it_o so_o essential_a as_o that_o the_o people_n of_o the_o lord_n can_v be_v deliver_v out_o of_o babylon_n without_o it_o four_o i_o shall_v now_o come_v to_o prove_v the_o posture_n the_o people_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v to_o wait_v in_o be_v watch_v and_o prayer_n without_o the_o benefit_n of_o ordinance_n in_o their_o purity_n from_o the_o lord_n be_v weary_a as_o it_o be_v speak_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n with_o reverence_n be_v it_o speak_v of_o set_v up_o any_o more_o shepherd_n over_o they_o in_o any_o outward_a order_n or_o dispensation_n which_o i_o shall_v prove_v from_o zechariah_n the_o 11._o 9_o where_o it_o be_v say_v i_o will_v not_o feed_v you_o that_o that_o die_v let_v it_o die_v and_o that_o that_o be_v to_o be_v cut_v off_o let_v it_o be_v cut_v off_o and_o let_v the_o rest_n cat_fw-mi every_o one_o the_o flesh_n of_o another_o where_o note_n in_o the_o 4._o verse_n the_o lord_n jesus_n take_v upon_o he_o to_o feed_v the_o flock_n who_o possessor_n slay_v they_o and_o hold_v themselves_o not_o guilty_a now_o say_v he_o in_o the_o six_o verse_n i_o will_v no_o more_o pity_v the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o land_n as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o will_v no_o more_o take_v care_n over_o you_o by_o shepherd_n but_o lo_o i_o will_v deliver_v the_o man_n every_o one_o into_o his_o neighbour_n hand_n and_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o king_n and_o they_o shall_v smire_n the_o land_n and_o out_o of_o their_o hand_n i_o will_v not_o deliver_v they_o and_o this_o i_o suppose_v be_v speak_v touch_v the_o destruction_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o their_o worship_n now_o mark_v what_o he_o say_v in_o the_o 7._o verse_n and_o i_o will_v feed_v the_o flock_n of_o slaughter_n even_o you_o o_o poor_a of_o the_o flock_n and_o i_o take_v unto_o i_o two_o staff_n the_o one_o i_o call_v beauty_n and_o the_o other_o i_o call_v

at_o present_a any_o way_n answerable_a to_o these_o text_n of_o scripture_n above_o quote_v or_o any_o way_n come_v near_o unto_o it_o among_o the_o several_a profession_n of_o this_o age_n as_o for_o those_o single_a congregation_n which_o go_v under_o the_o name_n of_o independent_a or_o baptist_n or_o any_o other_o which_o profess_v to_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o gospel_n no_o nor_o yet_o the_o seeker_n they_o ascribe_v unto_o themselves_o not_o such_o thing_n but_o for_o those_o man_n which_o go_v under_o the_o vulgar_a name_n of_o ranter_n they_o do_v ascribe_v unto_o themselves_o a_o great_a perfection_n namely_o that_o they_o be_v come_v to_o zion_n and_o enjoy_v god_n perfect_o and_o that_o god_n be_v all_o in_o all_o unto_o they_o and_o that_o the_o son_n in_o they_o have_v deliver_v up_o the_o kingdom_n unto_o god_n the_o father_n as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o their_o book_n therefore_o let_v we_o examine_v what_o sign_n of_o glory_n be_v so_o excellent_a among_o they_o as_o first_o to_o begin_v with_o their_o person_n as_o they_o be_v man_n i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o discern_v as_o yet_o but_o that_o they_o be_v man_n subject_a to_o the_o like_a passion_n as_o other_o man_n and_o therefore_o in_o that_o respect_n no_o such_o glory_n as_o for_o those_o misery_n which_o be_v incident_a unto_o man_n life_n as_o hunger_n thirst_n cold_a heat_n sickness_n and_o disease_n which_o be_v common_a to_o man_n they_o have_v their_o part_n as_o other_o man_n for_o aught_o i_o can_v yet_o see_v and_o therefore_o no_o such_o glory_n as_o for_o those_o gift_n and_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o faith_n hope_n love_n self-deniall_n meekness_n temperance_n patience_n i_o see_v no_o great_a measure_n in_o they_o then_o in_o other_o christian_n and_o therefore_o no_o such_o glory_n as_o for_o perfection_n and_o a_o life_n free_a from_o sin_n and_o uncleanness_n i_o see_v no_o such_o excellency_n in_o they_o more_o than_o in_o other_o sort_n of_o christian_n as_o it_o be_v boast_v that_o they_o can_v do_v such_o and_o such_o thing_n which_o be_v in_o themselves_o wicked_a and_o yet_o unto_o they_o without_o sin_n therefore_o in_o that_o respect_n no_o such_o glory_n as_o for_o any_o spirit_n of_o infallibility_n in_o they_o speak_v as_o the_o oracle_n of_o god_n more_o in_o they_o then_o in_o other_o christian_n i_o see_v no_o difference_n nay_o what_o prophecy_v of_o they_o be_v come_v to_o pass_v therefore_o no_o such_o glory_n in_o the_o least_o degree_n therefore_o i_o conceive_v i_o may_v conclude_v with_o this_o argument_n against_o they_o that_o the_o first_o appearance_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n both_o in_o himself_o and_o in_o his_o apostle_n be_v glorious_a witness_v the_o spirit_n descend_v like_o a_o dove_n upon_o he_o and_o also_o upon_o his_o apostle_n there_o do_v appeal_v unto_o they_o cleave_a tongue_n like_v unto_o fire_n and_o sit_v upon_o they_o and_o they_o be_v fill_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n act_v 2._o 3_o 4._o but_o the_o second_o appearance_n of_o jesus_n christ_n will_v be_v with_o much_o more_o glory_n as_o may_v be_v see_v matthew_n 17._o 2._o but_o that_o perfection_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o those_o man_n as_o they_o pretend_v come_v short_a of_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o first_o time_n as_o experience_n witness_v therefore_o i_o conceive_v i_o may_v safe_o conclude_v

be_v the_o place_n which_o i_o do_v own_o for_o my_o worship_n but_o now_o he_o say_v in_o the_o 3_o verse_n he_o that_o kill_v a_o ox_n be_v as_o if_o he_o slay_v a_o man_n he_o that_o sacrifice_v

holy_a place_n which_o drive_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n spirit_n out_o of_o that_o place_n that_o be_v once_o holy_a a_o second_o reason_n i_o take_v from_o that_o text_n daniel_n the_o 11._o 31._o which_o be_v the_o place_n of_o the_o prophet_n as_o i_o conceive_v which_o our_o saviour_n mean_v where_o it_o be_v say_v speak_v of_o antiochus_n and_o army_n shall_v stand_v on_o his_o part_n and_o
