in Heaven or Earth yet it is ordinarily dispensed by the preaching of the Word the administration of the Sacraments the covenants of the Fathers upon the children prayer reading the censures of the Church the society of the godly the crosses and afflictions Gods benefits his judgments upon others Miracles the contemplation of his Creatures All which things some be more principall God usethas the meanes of Vocation or conversion of his elect not derogating power to call immediately by his grace at all hours moments of the day that is of mans life according to his good pleasure That the word of God whereby this will is revealed continued in revelation tradition untill Moses that the Scriptures were from Moses time to the times of the Apostles Evangelicts in whose ages after the comming of the Holy Ghost the Teacher of all truth the booke of the Scriptures is shut and closed up to receive any new addition and that the Church hath no power over the Scriptures to teach or command any thing contrary to the written word But is as the Ark wherein the tables of the first Testament were kept and preferred that is to say the Church hath onely the Custody and delivery of the Scriptures committed unto the same together with the interpretation of them That there is an Vniversall or Catholique Church of God dispersed over the face of the Earth which Christs Spouse and Christs Body being gathered of the Fathers of the old world of the Church of the Jewes of the Spirits of the faithfull dissolved of the Spirits of the faithfull militant and of the names yet to be born which are already written in the Book of life That there is a visible Church distinguished by the outward works of God Servant and the receiving of the holy doctrine with the use of the misteries of God and the invocation and sanctification of his Holy Name That there is also a Holy succession of the ' Prophets of the new Testamen and Fathers of the Church from the time of the Apostles and Disciples which saw our Saviour in the flesh unto the consumation of the work of the Ministery which persons are called of God by guift or inward annointing and the vocation of God followed by an outward calling or ordination of the Church I Believe that the Soules of those that dy in the Lord are blessed and rest from their labour and enjoy the sight of God yet so as they are in expectation of the further revelation of their glory in the last day At which time all flesh of man shall arise and be changed and shall appeare and receive from Iesus Christ his eternall Judgement and the glory of the Saints shall then be full and the Kingdome shall be give to God the Father from which time all things shall continue for ever in that being and estate which then they shall receive So as there are three times if times they may be called or parts of Eternity The first The time before beginning when the God-head was only without the being of any Creature The second The time of Mystery which continueth from the Cretion to the dissolution of the World The third The time of the Revelation of the Sons of God which time is the last and is without change A Prayer made and used by the late Lord
