world_n from_o thence_o come_v the_o scythian_n tartarian_n and_o other_o barbarian_n from_o thence_o come_v the_o hunnians_n vandal_n and_o goth_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o without_o reason_n

with_o christ_n a_o thousand_o year_n not_o that_o i_o will_v say_v that_o the_o saint_n do_v not_o now_o reign_v with_o christ_n for_o i_o know_v that_o they_o do_v reign_v with_o he_o when_o they_o

satan_n bind_v for_o we_o seldom_o now_o see_v a_o true_a conversion_n or_o a_o sincere_a repentance_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o rather_o often_o obstination_n appear_v in_o our_o error_n we_o will_v not_o change_v they_o because_o we_o defend_v our_o sin_n open_o and_o so_o by_o our_o ambition_n we_o destroy_v the_o church_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n there_o be_v no_o fear_n of_o god_n among_o we_o nor_o sincere_a love_n one_o to_o another_o nor_o charity_n towards_o our_o poor_a afflict_a brethren_n as_o there_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o satan_n bind_v we_o be_v as_o hard_o as_o pharaoh_n as_o cruel_a as_o cain_n and_o as_o profane_a as_o esau_n it_o seem_v that_o all_o the_o christian_a virtue_n be_v vanish_v among_o man_n and_o that_o all_o vice_n have_v take_v their_o

you_o will_v tell_v i_o if_o the_o thousand_o year_n be_v now_o sinish_v or_o as_o you_o say_v expire_v at_o the_o formal_a manifestation_n of_o the_o antichristian_a jurisdiction_n how_o can_v it_o

well_o be_v say_v in_o regard_n of_o satan_n eternal_a bind_v which_o follow_v after_o his_o lose_v out_o of_o his_o prison_n for_o a_o while_n indeed_o if_o you_o consider_v the_o thousand_o year_n bind_v of_o satan_n i_o confess_v that_o his_o lose_v out_o will_v seem_v a_o great_a while_n but_o if_o you_o look_v upon_o satan_n eternal_a bind_v his_o lose_v out_o be_v but_o a_o little_a season_n which_o make_v i_o wonder_v at_o the_o millenaries_n opinion_n who_o expect_v now_o a_o visible_a and_o earthly_a reign_n for_o in_o the_o expectation_n of_o such_o a_o reign_n they_o lose_v the_o spiritual_a kingdom_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o in_o their_o pretend_a happiness_n they_o may_v find_v a_o true_a unhappiness_n but_o i_o will_v stay_v no_o long_o upon_o that_o imaginary_a kingdom_n for_o the_o kingdom_n that_o i_o propose_v unto_o you_o be_v a_o true_a and_o spiritual_a kingdom_n the_o kingdom_n of_o our_o saviour_n which_o be_v of_o grace_n without_o which_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o obtain_v the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n for_o you_o know_v that_o we_o must_v first_o reign_v here_o in_o grace_n before_o we_o can_v reign_v hereafter_o in_o glory_n then_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o that_o the_o saint_n who_o now_o reign_n with_o christ_n in_o glory_n live_v and_o reign_v before_o with_o he_o in_o grace_n by_o many_o year_n for_o as_o you_o read_v in_o my_o text_n and_o they_o live_v and_o reign_v with_o christ_n a_o thousand_o year_n conclusion_n and_o application_n but_o let_v we_o conclude_v with_o application_n to_o learn_v from_o our_o text_n that_o the_o saint_n who_o be_v actual_a member_n of_o our_o saviour_n live_v with_o he_o in_o this_o world_n the_o life_n of_o grace_n the_o only_a life_n of_o god_n child_n who_o be_v not_o bear_v of_o the_o

the_o prince_n of_o darkness_n but_o of_o the_o father_n of_o light_n for_o as_o we_o read_v and_o they_o live_v and_o reign_v with_o christ_n indeed_o there_o be_v none_o but_o those_o that_o be_v light_a in_o the_o lord_n that_o possess_v it_o for_o this_o spiritual_a life_n change_v our_o darkness_n into_o light_n and_o our_o vice_n into_o shine_a virtue_n and_o make_v we_o like_a unto_o the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n by_o the_o gracious_a brightness_n which_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n procure_v unto_o we_o which_o be_v a_o life_n that_o the_o scripture_n call_v the_o life_n of_o christ_n because_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n look_v on_o christ_n as_o on_o its_o sacred_a object_n and_o its_o meritorious_a cause_n and_o by_o excellency_n the_o life_n of_o god_n not_o as_o if_o god_n be_v not_o the_o author_n of_o the_o natural_a life_n of_o the_o
from_o hence_o which_o manifest_o contradict_v the_o chiliast_n or_o millenaries_n opinion_n for_o if_o christ_n as_o they_o say_v will_v govern_v at_o that_o time_n as_o earthly_a monarch_n do_v in_o a_o worldly_a visible_a and_o earthly_a glory_n how_o be_v his_o kingdom_n not_o of_o this_o world_n moreover_o if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o kingdom_n give_v to_o our_o saviour_n we_o shall_v have_v hear_v in_o the_o scripture_n of_o a_o three_o personal_a come_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o we_o do_v not_o for_o the_o scripture_n make_v only_o mention_v of_o two_o personal_a come_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n where_o the_o first_o be_v his_o come_n in_o humane_a weakness_n to_o make_v we_o strong_a against_o our_o powerful_a enemy_n the_o devil_n the_o flesh_n and_o the_o world_n the_o second_o his_o come_n in_o majesty_n and_o glory_n to_o give_v judgement_n to_o the_o quick_a and_o dead_a after_o their_o resurrection_n and_o we_o confess_v in_o our_o creed_n that_o from_o thence_o that_o be_v heaven_n where_o christ_n now_o be_v he_o shall_v come_v to_o judge_v the_o quick_a and_o the_o dead_a which_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o athanasian_n and_o nicene_n creed_n to_o which_o we_o must_v keep_v close_o as_o be_v the_o say_v which_o be_v once_o deliver_v to_o the_o saint_n and_o if_o some_o millenaries_n will_v not_o understand_v that_o monarchical_a kingdom_n of_o our_o saviour_n personal_o than_o that_o kingdom_n fall_v of_o itself_o for_o christ_n now_o reign_v by_o his_o spirit_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o he_o regenerate_v subject_n as_o they_o will_v confess_v with_o we_o and_o they_o reign_v with_o he_o for_o as_o our_o text_n say_v and_o they_o live_v and_o reign_v with_o christ_n but_o further_a that_o monarchical_a kingdom_n of_o christ_n can_v stand_v without_o two_o general_a corporal_a resurrection_n the_o one_o of_o those_o saint_n which_o be_v dead_a before_o that_o personal_a come_n of_o christ_n at_o which_o he_o shall_v take_v the_o administration_n of_o his_o monarchical_a kingdom_n the_o other_o at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n at_o his_o sinal_n come_v to_o judgement_n as_o they_o themselves_o acknowledge_v which_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o the_o scripture_n make_v no_o mention_n of_o for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n make_v only_o mention_v of_o one_o general_a corporal_a resurrection_n at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n as_o you_o may_v see_v job_n 19.25_o where_o it_o be_v say_v by_o that_o most_o patient_a patriarch_n i_o know_v that_o my_o redeemer_n live_v and_o that_o he_o shall_v stand_v at_o the_o latter_a

confess_v to_o christ_n that_o her_o brother_n shall_v rise_v again_o in_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o last_o day_n and_o not_o at_o the_o day_n of_o the_o administration_n of_o christ_n monarchical_a kingdom_n and_o you_o know_v that_o s._n paul_n 1_o cor._n 15.52_o say_v that_o in_o a_o moment_n in_o the_o twinkle_n of_o a_o eye_n we_o shall_v rise_v at_o the_o last_o trumpet_n and_o so_o in_o our_o creed_n we_o confess_v the_o resurrection_n and_o not_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o that_o will_v not_o serve_v the_o millinary_n to_o say_v that_o in_o our_o chapter_n in_o the_o 5._o ver_fw-la it_o appear_v clear_o that_o there_o be_v two_o general_a resurrection_n of_o the_o flesh_n when_o we_o hear_v of_o a_o first_o resurrection_n which_o insinuate_v a_o second_o one_o for_o that_o first_o resurrection_n which_o be_v mention_v there_o be_v the_o resurrection_n not_o of_o the_o body_n but_o of_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o death_n of_o sin_n to_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n as_o s._n aust_n do_v well_o observe_v i_o know_v that_o some_o take_v that_o first_o resurrection_n for_o the_o glorious_a happiness_n of_o the_o soul_n by_o which_o she_o

be_v the_o wicked_a and_o reprobate_a live_v not_o again_o etc._n etc._n because_o they_o experiment_v in_o hell_n the_o first_o death_n and_o damnation_n which_o be_v of_o the_o soul_n alone_o which_o oblige_v s._n john_n to_o say_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o saint_n depart_v who_o be_v oppose_v to_o the_o wicked_a this_o be_v the_o first_o resurrection_n and_o bless_a and_o holy_a be_v he_o that_o have_v part_n in_o the_o first_o resurrection_n on_o such_o the_o second_o death_n have_v no_o power_n for_o those_o that_o live_v with_o christ_n in_o heaven_n in_o regard_n of_o their_o soul_n only_o shall_v live_v with_o he_o eternal_o in_o regard_n of_o both_o body_n and_o soul_n in_o the_o celestial_a jerusalem_n but_o although_o this_o explication_n be_v true_a in_o itself_o yet_o you_o must_v observe_v that_o it_o be_v not_o proper_a in_o this_o place_n of_o scripture_n which_o consider_v the_o wicked_a and_o godly_a man_n not_o as_o depart_v from_o this_o world_n but_o as_o live_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o so_o s._n john_n consider_v the_o wicked_a as_o dead_a in_o their_o sin_n and_o have_v part_n in_o the_o first_o spiritual_a death_n and_o the_o godly_a man_n as_o live_v by_o grace_n and_o have_v part_n in_o the_o first_o spiritual_a resurrection_n i_o can_v raise_v many_o more_o argument_n against_o the_o doctrine_n which_o the_o millenaries_n hold_v
