A81085	The little horns doom & dovvnfall or A scripture-prophesie of King James, and King Charles, and of this present Parliament, unfolded. Wherein it appeares, that the late tragedies that have bin acted upon the scene of these three nations: and particularly, the late Kings doom and death, was so long ago, as by Daniel pred-eclared [sic]. And what the issue of all will be, is also discovered; which followes in the second part. By M. Cary, a servant of Jesus Christ.

of_o so_o understand_v it_o but_o it_o be_v usual_a in_o the_o scripture_n to_o account_v a_o day_n for_o a_o year_n and_o of_o more_o than_o so_o of_o necessity_n we_o may_v not_o understand_v it_o because_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v here_o so_o many_o emphatical_a expression_n to_o set_v out_o the_o suddenness_n of_o it_o as_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v sudden_a beyond_o what_o have_v be_v hear_v of_o who_o have_v hear_v such_o a_o thing_n and_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v do_v so_o sudden_o as_o that_o those_o usual_a preparation_n that_o do_v precede_v the_o same_o work_n in_o other_o shall_v scarce_o appear_v in_o this_o and_o so_o sudden_a that_o zion_n herself_o be_v as_o it_o be_v astonish_v at_o the_o thought_n of_o it_o and_o look_n on_o it_o as_o that_o which_o she_o can_v imagine_v how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v so_o that_o we_o may_v rather_o take_v liberty_n to_o conclude_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v indeed_o do_v in_o a_o natural_a ordinary_a day_n then_o to_o conceive_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v more_o than_o a_o year_n which_o be_v a_o prophetical_a day_n a_o do_v for_o than_o it_o will_v not_o be_v so_o miraculous_a if_o it_o shall_v be_v year_n a_o do_v but_o miraculous_a and_o unheard_a of_o it_o shall_v be_v for_o the_o suddenness_n of_o it_o as_o soon_o as_o zion_n travel_v she_o bring_v forth_o and_o a_o nation_n be_v bear_v at_o once_o by_o which_o nation_n as_o we_o may_v no_o doubt_n understand_v the_o nation_n of_o the_o jew_n so_o may_v we_o unquestionable_o also_o be_v persuade_v that_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o gentile_n which_o be_v to_o come_v in_o with_o they_o and_o upon_o their_o come_n in_o be_v herein_o also_o include_v and_o not_o at_o all_o to_o be_v exclude_v for_o the_o scripture_n speak_v as_o full_o every_o where_n for_o the_o bring_n in_o of_o the_o gentile_n by_o multitude_n in_o these_o latter_a day_n as_o for_o the_o conversion_n of_o the_o jew_n but_o here_o some_o may_v object_v and_o say_v it_o be_v true_a indeed_o the_o gentile_n may_v not_o be_v here_o exclude_v for_o for_o any_o thing_n appear_v to_o we_o it_o be_v the_o gentile_n only_o that_o be_v here_o speak_v of_o and_o we_o know_v no_o ground_n you_o have_v to_o speak_v particular_o of_o the_o bring_n in_o of_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o jew_n any_o more_o than_o they_o have_v be_v bring_v in_o already_o at_o the_o first_o preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n when_o the_o partition_n wall_n be_v break_v down_o between_o jew_n and_o gentile_n and_o both_o be_v equal_o alike_o receive_v into_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o

the_o gentile_n and_o for_o the_o most_o part_n of_o they_o be_v now_o mix_v among_o the_o gentile_n probable_o when_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v to_o all_o nation_n they_o may_v be_v convert_v among_o the_o gentile_n without_o any_o distinction_n from_o the_o gentile_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o partition_n wall_n be_v break_v down_o remove_v down_o the_o objection_n against_o the_o jew_n conversion_n remove_v that_o be_v between_o jew_n and_o gentile_n and_o both_o be_v equal_o alike_o receive_v into_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o

i_o say_v though_o this_o be_v a_o undoubted_a truth_n and_o that_o many_o of_o the_o jew_n in_o the_o first_o preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n be_v convert_v and_o not_o their_o external_a privilege_n

i_o say_v then_o have_v they_o stumble_v that_o they_o shall_v fall_v god_n forbid_v it_o be_v as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v have_v they_o so_o stumble_v that_o they_o shall_v fall_v so_o as_o not_o to_o rise_v again_o god_n forbid_v how_o then_o do_v they_o fall_v and_o how_o be_v they_o stumble_v may_v it_o be_v say_v to_o paul_n why_o say_v he_o god_n forbid_v that_o in_o stumble_v they_o shall_v have_v such_o a_o fall_n as_o not_o to_o rise_v any_o more_o no_o it_o be_v not_o so_o but_o through_o their_o fall_n salvation_n be_v come_v to_o the_o gentile_n and_o the_o gentile_n be_v thereby_o receive_v into_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o make_v heir_n of_o the_o promise_n and_o of_o the_o privilege_n and_o prerogative_n that_o be_v by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o they_o be_v

receive_v into_o favour_n again_o no_o for_o say_v the_o apostle_n through_o their_o fall_n salvation_n be_v come_v to_o the_o gentile_n for_o what_o end_n to_o provoke_v the_o jew_n to_o jealousy_n so_o that_o there_o be_v a_o time_n to_o come_v in_o which_o by_o behold_v the_o glorious_a estate_n in_o which_o the_o gentile_n be_v by_o jesus_n christ_n the_o jew_n shall_v be_v provoke_v to_o jealousy_n and_o now_o then_o say_v the_o apostle_n if_o the_o fall_n of_o they_o be_v the_o riches_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o diminish_n of_o they_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o gentile_n how_o much_o more_o their_o fullness_n it_o be_v as_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v say_v by_o the_o fall_n of_o the_o jew_n salvation_n be_v come_v to_o the_o gentile_n but_o this_o shall_v be_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o gentile_n conversion_n the_o jew_n shall_v at_o last_o be_v thereby_o provoke_v to_o jealousy_n when_o this_o spirit_n of_o slumber_n be_v remove_v from_o they_o which_o now_o be_v on_o they_o verse_n 8._o and_o when_o they_o have_v receive_v a_o see_a eye_n and_o a_o hear_n ear_n again_o then_o they_o shall_v be_v provoke_v to_o jealousy_n and_o behold_v the_o salvation_n and_o

have_v lose_v and_o which_o do_v belong_v to_o they_o and_o which_o be_v in_o the_o first_o place_n offer_v to_o they_o but_o o_o what_o indignation_n will_v they_o have_v against_o themselves_o for_o their_o great_a sin_n in_o reject_v their_o lord_n and_o saviour_n and_o then_o say_v the_o apostle_n when_o they_o shall_v come_v in_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o gentile_n will_v be_v much_o augment_v for_o say_v he_o if_o the_o fall_n of_o they_o be_v the_o riches_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o diminish_n of_o they_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o gentile_n how_o much_o more_o their_o fullness_n and_o at_o the_o 15_o verse_n and_o so_o on_o the_o apostle_n do_v again_o clear_o affirm_v that_o those_o fall_v jew_n shall_v be_v again_o restore_v and_o positive_o say_v that_o blindness_n in_o

and_o their_o deliverance_n as_o he_o give_v they_o to_o overcome_v he_o and_o his_o complice_n that_o think_v to_o overcome_v they_o and_o in_o this_o work_n he_o have_v thousand_o thousand_o minister_a unto_o he_o and_o ten_o thousand_o time_n ten_o thousand_o stand_v before_o he_o he_o have_v all_o his_o saint_n all_o man_n else_o and_o all_o his_o holy_a angel_n at_o his_o beck_n to_o execute_v his_o will_n and_o do_v his_o pleasure_n and_o as_o once_o the_o star_n in_o their_o course_n fight_v against_o sisera_n so_o god_n in_o do_v this_o great_a work_n for_o his_o saint_n deliverance_n and_o make_v way_n for_o the_o set_n up_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o his_o belove_a son_n have_v multitude_n multitude_n both_o of_o celestial_a and_o terrestrial_a creature_n to_o attend_v he_o and_o certain_o such_o great_a thing_n can_v never_o have_v be_v do_v if_o the_o ancient_n of_o day_n have_v not_o most_o glorious_o and_o wonderful_o appear_v for_o the_o help_n and_o support_v of_o his_o people_n how_o can_v they_o which_o be_v so_o few_o in_o number_n and_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n despise_v and_o despicable_a creature_n have_v carry_v on_o that_o work_n so_o effectual_o as_o to_o have_v cut_v off_o the_o late_a king_n though_o it_o be_v very_o believe_v and_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a there_o be_v at_o that_o very_a time_n twenty_o to_o one_o in_o this_o nation_n of_o england_n that_o be_v against_o it_o have_v not_o the_o lord_n assist_v they_o with_o thousand_o of_o angel_n and_o evident_o manifest_v himself_o to_o be_v with_o they_o thus_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o by_o the_o appear_a of_o the_o ancient_n of_o day_n mention_v in_o this_o chapter_n be_v mean_v his_o appear_v in_o his_o people_n in_o that_o spirit_n of_o judgement_n and_o justice_n that_o he_o give_v unto_o they_o and_o his_o appear_v for_o his_o people_n to_o own_o and_o defend_v and_o deliver_v they_o and_o to_o lay_v their_o enemy_n in_o the_o dust_n while_o he_o raise_v they_o up_o and_o make_v they_o sit_v in_o high_a place_n second_o whereas_o i_o say_v that_o this_o position_n be_v likewise_o the_o sense_n of_o this_o verse_n together_o with_o those_o other_o verse_n which_o i_o compare_v with_o it_o viz._n that_o a_o certain_a number_n of_o saint_n shall_v be_v convene_v together_o and_o have_v a_o spirit_n of_o judgement_n give_v unto_o they_o by_o the_o most_o high_a together_o with_o power_n and_o authority_n whereby_o they_o shall_v take_v away_o the_o dominion_n of_o the_o little_a horn_n to_o consume_v and_o to_o destroy_v it_o unto_o the_o end_n i_o shall_v illustrate_v that_o thus_o in_o the_o 10_o verse_n be_v say_v that_o thousand_o thousand_o minister_v unto_o the_o ancient_n of_o day_n and_o ten_o thousand_o time_n ten_o thousand_o stand_v before_o he_o the_o judgement_n be_v set_v and_o the_o book_n be_v open_v and_o because_o of_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o great_a word_n which_o the_o horn_n speak_v the_o beast_n be_v slay_v here_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o beast_n or_o horn_n be_v slay_v by_o some_o that_o do_v sit_v in_o judgement_n before_o who_o the_o book_n of_o his_o evil_a deed_n be_v open_v because_o of_o which_o his_o evil_a deed_n and_o say_n he_o be_v adjudge_v to_o be_v slay_v and_o at_o the_o 22_o verse_n it_o be_v plain_o declare_v who_o they_o be_v that_o do_v sit_v in_o judgement_n that_o they_o be_v not_o angel_n but_o saint_n the_o saint_n of_o the_o most_o high_a for_o there_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o horn_n make_v war_n with_o the_o saint_n and_o prevail_v against_o they_o until_o the_o ancient_n of_o day_n come_v and_o judgement_n be_v give_v to_o the_o saint_n of_o the_o most_o high_a and_o then_o be_v his_o power_n take_v off_o for_o then_o the_o time_n come_v that_o the_o saint_n possess_v the_o kingdom_n and_o that_o those_o saint_n that_o have_v judgement_n give_v to_o they_o and_o that_o be_v say_v to_o sit_v in_o judgement_n that_o they_o be_v the_o instrument_n by_o who_o the_o beast_n be_v to_o be_v judge_v and_o slay_v be_v further_a clear_a in_o this_o 26_o verse_n where_o it_o have_v be_v declare_v in_o the_o former_a verse_n how_o evil_o the_o horn_n shall_v deal_v with_o the_o saint_n it_o be_v say_v but_o the_o judgement_n shall_v sit_v and_o they_o shall_v take_v away_o his_o dominion_n to_o consume_v and_o to_o destroy_v it_o unto_o the_o end_n thus_o it_o be_v also_o evident_o the_o sense_n of_o these_o verse_n compare_v together_o that_o by_o the_o judgement_n sit_v be_v mean_v a_o certain_a number_n of_o saint_n that_o by_o the_o wisdom_n providence_n and_o power_n of_o the_o most_o high_a be_v convene_v together_o and_o invest_v with_o power_n and_o authority_n and_o a_o spirit_n of_o judgement_n for_o this_o end_n to_o judge_v this_o little_a horn_n and_o do_v justice_n upon_o he_o and_o to_o take_v away_o his_o dominion_n to_o consume_v and_o to_o destroy_v it_o unto_o the_o end_n and_o this_o need_v not_o seem_v strange_a that_o the_o saint_n shall_v thus_o sit_v in_o judgement_n and_o do_v such_o thing_n as_o these_o for_o do_v you_o not_o know_v say_v the_o apostle_n

duty_n of_o saint_n to_o be_v whole_o passive_a and_o observe_v the_o forementioned_a rule_n of_o patient_a suffering_n but_o when_o providence_n so_o order_v it_o as_o to_o place_n in_o authority_n godly_a man_n then_o we_o see_v it_o clear_v that_o they_o shall_v neglect_v their_o duty_n if_o they_o shall_v not_o protect_v those_o that_o do_v well_o from_o the_o wicked_a cruelty_n of_o evil_a doer_n and_o thus_o the_o objection_n be_v answer_v and_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o it_o be_v lawful_a in_o gospel_n time_n for_o saint_n to_o fight_v against_o such_o as_o will_v murder_v and_o destroy_v they_o as_o the_o associate_n of_o the_o beast_n will_v nay_o it_o be_v not_o only_o lawful_a to_o do_v it_o but_o it_o will_v be_v their_o sin_n if_o they_o shall_v not_o do_v it_o godly_a magistrate_n will_v sin_v if_o they_o do_v bear_v the_o sword_n in_o vain_a and_o do_v not_o punish_v evil_a doer_n and_o godly_a subject_n will_v sin_n if_o they_o shall_v not_o obey_v the_o magistrate_n when_o he_o require_v they_o to_o do_v this_o lawful_a thing_n which_o be_v to_o be_v assistant_n to_o he_o in_o punish_v of_o evil_a doer_n and_o thus_o have_v i_o answer_v this_o sufficient_o if_o i_o shall_v not_o add_v any_o thing_n else_o in_o answer_n but_o second_o in_o answer_n to_o such_o as_o make_v this_o objection_n that_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o those_o that_o will_v live_v godly_a in_o christ_n jesus_n must_v suffer_v persecution_n and_o it_o be_v a_o truth_n in_o the_o apostle_n time_n and_o have_v be_v so_o for_o almost_o this_o sixteen_o hundred_o year_n since_o that_o the_o saint_n have_v suffer_v persecution_n either_o from_o the_o roman_a beast_n the_o emperor_n or_o the_o roman_a beast_n the_o pope_n or_o those_o that_o have_v act_v by_o authority_n from_o they_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o this_o will_v always_o hold_v a_o truth_n that_o the_o saint_n shall_v be_v always_o sufferer_n but_o the_o contrary_n be_v clear_a and_o i_o know_v none_o that_o deny_v it_o but_o that_o as_o the_o saint_n have_v have_v a_o suffer_a time_n so_o they_o shall_v have_v a_o time_n of_o deliverance_n and_o freedom_n from_o suffer_v and_o the_o rod_n of_o the_o wicked_a shall_v not_o always_o rest_v upon_o the_o lot_n of_o the_o righteous_a but_o god_n will_v though_o he_o have_v bear_v 7._o bear_v luke_n 18._o 7._o long_o at_o last_o avenge_v the_o quarrel_n of_o his_o people_n upon_o their_o enemy_n and_o though_o for_o this_o 1500_o or_o 1600_o year_n god_n have_v appoint_v his_o people_n thus_o long_o to_o a_o suffer_a condition_n he_o never_o call_v his_o people_n to_o do_v justice_n upon_o their_o enemy_n as_o he_o do_v his_o people_n of_o old_a oftentimes_o under_o the_o law_n as_o in_o the_o time_n of_o joshua_n and_o of_o the_o judge_n and_o david_n etc._n etc._n yet_o it_o follow_v not_o out_o that_o he_o may_v do_v it_o now_o for_o it_o be_v not_o where_o say_v that_o now_o in_o the_o latter_a day_n when_o the_o time_n of_o the_o saint_n deliverance_n come_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o by_o the_o sword_n as_o israel_n of_o old_a do_v subdue_v the_o enemy_n of_o god_n which_o be_v also_o their_o enemy_n i_o say_v it_o be_v not_o where_o say_v they_o shall_v not_o so_o do_v but_o in_o several_a place_n it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o shall_v so_o do_v as_o in_o that_o know_a place_n in_o the_o 149_o psalm_n which_o never_o be_v yet_o so_o eminent_o fulfil_v as_o it_o shall_v be_v in_o these_o latter_a day_n where_o the_o psalmist_n in_o express_a term_n say_v that_o the_o saint_n shall_v execute_v vengeance_n upon_o the_o heathen_a and_o punishment_n upon_o the_o people_n and_o bound_v their_o king_n in_o chain_n and_o their_o noble_n in_o fetter_n of_o iron_n and_o execute_v upon_o they_o the_o judgement_n write_v and_o doubtless_o the_o time_n be_v come_v wherein_o the_o saint_n in_o a_o most_o glorious_a manner_n shall_v have_v the_o honour_n to_o do_v these_o thing_n and_o this_o be_v clear_a likewise_o in_o the_o 110_o psalm_n where_o the_o psalmist_n speak_v express_o of_o the_o time_n when_o the_o enemy_n of_o christ_n shall_v be_v make_v his_o footstool_n as_o appear_v in_o the_o first_o verse_n the_o lord_n say_v unto_o my_o lord_n sit_v at_o my_o right_a hand_n until_o i_o make_v thy_o enemy_n thy_o footstool_n now_o jesus_n christ_n when_o he_o ascend_v up_o to_o heaven_n be_v say_v there_o to_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n mark_v 16._o 19_o and_o there_o he_o sit_v and_o there_o he_o must_v sit_v until_o the_o time_n come_v that_o all_o his_o enemy_n be_v make_v his_o footstool_n say_v the_o psalmist_n and_o in_o the_o five_o verse_n speak_v of_o that_o time_n when_o they_o shall_v be_v make_v his_o footstool_n he_o speak_v thus_o the_o lord_n at_o thy_o right_a hand_n that_o be_v the_o lord_n christ_n at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n shall_v strike_v through_o king_n in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o wrath_n and_o he_o shall_v judge_v among_o the_o heathen_a and_o fill_v the_o place_n with_o dead_a body_n and_o wound_v the_o head_n over_o many_o country_n this_o be_v a_o great_a work_n that_o he_o will_v do_v wound_v the_o head_n over_o many_o country_n strike_v through_o king_n in_o his_o wrath_n but_o what_o instrument_n shall_v the_o lord_n jesus_n use_v in_o do_v these_o thing_n he_o be_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n that_o be_v answer_v in_o the_o second_o and_o three_o verse_n the_o lord_n shall_v send_v the_o rod_n of_o thy_o strength_n out_o of_o zion_n and_o thy_o people_n shall_v be_v willing_a in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o power_n here_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o son_n of_o zion_n be_v &_o shall_v be_v the_o lord_n instrument_n the_o rod_n of_o his_o strength_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v willing_a in_o this_o day_n of_o christ_n power_n another_o very_a clear_a place_n to_o this_o purpose_n we_o have_v esa_n 54._o 15_o 16_o 17._o the_o whole_a chapter_n be_v a_o prophecy_n of_o the_o happy_a estate_n of_o the_o church_n in_o these_o latter_a day_n but_o that_o which_o be_v observable_a to_o this_o purpose_n be_v in_o these_o word_n in_o righteousness_n thou_o shall_v be_v establish_v thou_o shall_v be_v far_o from_o oppression_n for_o thou_o shall_v not_o fear_v and_o from_o terror_n for_o it_o shall_v not_o come_v near_o thou_o but_o how_o shall_v this_o be_v shall_v they_o have_v no_o enemy_n at_o all_o to_o oppress_v they_o nor_o terrify_v they_o yes_o they_o shall_v have_v enemy_n but_o they_o shall_v have_v no_o power_n to_o oppress_v they_o nay_o they_o shall_v not_o so_o much_o as_o be_v any_o fear_n or_o terror_n at_o all_o unto_o they_o such_o confidence_n shall_v they_o have_v that_o they_o shall_v overcome_v they_o for_o so_o it_o follow_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n behold_v they_o shall_v gather_v together_o but_o not_o by_o i_o whosoever_o shall_v gather_v together_o against_o thou_o shall_v fall_v for_o

be_v the_o heritage_n of_o the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o their_o righteousness_n be_v of_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n thus_o its_o clear_a that_o though_o the_o church_n in_o these_o time_n have_v enemy_n and_o though_o these_o enemy_n do_v gather_v together_o and_o rise_v up_o against_o they_o yet_o saint_n shall_v not_o fear_v they_o nor_o at_o all_o be_v terrify_v by_o they_o why_o
