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.

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

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 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

that_o have_v a_o ear_n hear_v what_o the_o spirit_n say_v unto_o the_o church_n moreover_o he_o do_v admonish_v this_o church_n of_o thyatira_n that_o if_o she_o do_v not_o exercise_v her_o power_n that_o then_o all_o the_o church_n shall_v know_v that_o i_o be_o he_o that_o search_v the_o reins_n and_o the_o heart_n and_o will_v give_v unto_o every_o one_o of_o you_o according_a to_o your_o

from_o they_o and_o have_v no_o be_v and_o therefore_o in_o my_o judgement_n it_o be_v but_o a_o weak_a foundation_n to_o raise_v ordinance_n upon_o and_o to_o gather_v church_n upon_o when_o once_o they_o have_v lose_v their_o power_n and_o be_v pollute_v and_o antichrist_n seat_v in_o they_o and_o so_o much_o for_o this_o scripture_n a_o fist_n and_o last_o scripture_n which_o be_v allege_v

or_o gather_v of_o church_n for_o which_o these_o scripture_n be_v bring_v for_o i_o profess_v with_o reverence_n to_o all_o just_a way_n of_o god_n that_o to_o i_o these_o scripture_n seem_v to_o be_v a_o weak_a foundation_n to_o build_v such_o a_o structure_n upon_o as_o be_v pretend_v namely_o that_o the_o raise_n of_o ordinance_n as_o be_v practise_v in_o these_o day_n be_v the_o only_a

the_o promise_n be_v annex_v and_o lo_o i_o be_o with_o you_o unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n whereupon_o be_v conclude_v that_o his_o people_n be_v to_o practice_v the_o ordinance_n in_o their_o purity_n until_o the_o lord_n appear_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o it_o be_v acknowledge_v by_o these_o man_n that_o there_o have_v be_v a_o interruption_n both_o in_o the_o
