that_o this_o scripture_n in_o peter_n though_o in_o some_o passage_n of_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o refer_v to_o the_o great_a day_n of_o judgement_n yet_o compare_v with_o isa_n out_o of_o which_o it_o be_v take_v it_o appear_v to_o be_v but_o a_o very_a comment_n upon_o my_o text_n and_o i_o find_v general_o interpreter_n do_v interpret_v this_o of_o isa_n to_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o this_o world_n and_o so_o by_o compare_v one_o scripture_n with_o another_o we_o may_v find_v out_o much_o truth_n and_o beside_o the_o prophet_n do_v prophesy_v very_o little_a about_o the_o eternal_a life_n after_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n though_o something_o there_o be_v about_o it_o but_o very_o little_a in_o comparison_n and_o therefore_o we_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o reason_n to_o think_v it_o to_o be_v mean_v concern_v this_o time_n of_o this_o new_a jerusalem_n when_o god_n shall_v make_v it_o to_o be_v the_o praise_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n last_o this_o shall_v add_v to_o the_o beauty_n of_o this_o new_a jerusalem_n that_o prosperity_n shall_v do_v it_o no_o hurt_n and_o therefore_o as_o i_o remember_v in_o the_o 4_o the_o of_o the_o revelat._n the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n in_o this_o time_n be_v compare_v to_o a_o eagle_n there_o be_v four_o beast_n the_o first_o like_o a_o lion_n the_o second_o like_o a_o calf_n the_o three_o be_v like_o a_o man_n and_o the_o four_o be_v like_o a_o flying-eagle_n note_v the_o four_o state_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o last_o shall_v be_v as_o a_o eagle_n that_o be_v they_o shall_v be_v lift_v above_o all_o these_o outward_a thing_n at_o first_o when_o the_o church_n be_v raise_v from_o persecution_n in_o constantine_n time_n the_o history_n of_o those_o time_n tell_v we_o that_o there_o be_v a_o voice_n hear_v in_o the_o air_n to_o day_n be_v poison_n pour_v into_o the_o church_n it_o be_v at_o that_o time_n when_o constantine_n do_v endow_v the_o church_n with_o great_a endowment_n and_o we_o find_v it_o now_o that_o we_o have_v weak_a stomach_n and_o be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v much_o prosperity_n and_o therefore_o god_n have_v think_v it_o rather_o fit_a to_o keep_v his_o church_n low_a but_o when_o that_o day_n come_v for_o jerusalem_n to_o be_v make_v the_o praise_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o fear_n of_o hurt_n from_o prosperity_n for_o christ_n shall_v be_v all_o in_o all_o to_o they_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o more_o immediate_a enjoyment_n of_o god_n and_o that_o will_v keep_v they_o from_o take_v hurt_v by_o what_o they_o have_v in_o the_o creature_n now_o let_v we_o put_v all_o these_o together_o and_o see_v what_o a_o glorious_a condition_n the_o saint_n shall_v be_v in_o sure_o when_o all_o these_o thing_n shall_v be_v fulfil_v than_o you_o must_v needs_o say_v that_o jerusalem_n will_v be_v make_v a_o praise_n in_o the_o whole_a earth_n that_o be_v first_o when_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o resurrection_n a_o new_a creation_n a_o new_a world_n when_o all_o tear_n shall_v be_v wipe_v away_o when_o all_o wicked_a man_n shall_v be_v keep_v under_o when_o the_o church_n shall_v appear_v to_o be_v the_o pleasant_a portion_n of_o god_n his_o inheritance_n his_o dear_o belove_a his_o glory_n and_o when_o all_o promise_n that_o have_v be_v make_v to_o they_o and_o all_o prophecy_n of_o their_o glory_n shall_v be_v fulfil_v when_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o wonderful_a confluence_n of_o the_o nation_n jew_n and_o gentile_n to_o they_o and_o yet_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o purity_n in_o

shall_v be_v a_o glorious_a presence_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o jesus_n christ_n with_o they_o when_o godliness_n and_o the_o saint_n shall_v be_v honour_v in_o the_o world_n as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v contemn_v when_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o bless_a union_n among_o all_o the_o church_n when_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o mighty_a change_n of_o the_o creature_n and_o when_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o fear_n of_o any_o danger_n of_o any_o hurt_n by_o any_o prosperity_n that_o they_o shall_v enjoy_v sure_o then_o will_v jerusalem_n be_v make_v a_o praise_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n therefore_o let_v the_o saint_n give_v the_o lord_n no_o rest_n until_o jerusalem_n be_v thus_o make_v as_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n you_o will_v say_v be_v these_o thing_n so_o be_v

such_o parallel_n scripture_n for_o this_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o evident_a than_o it_o be_v and_o general_o divine_v agree_v upon_o it_o those_o two_o scripture_n in_o the_o book_n of_o

of_o two_o hundred_o or_o more_o year_n before_o the_o begin_n of_o these_o time_n but_o i_o think_v god_n have_v not_o leave_v it_o full_o clear_a to_o determine_v about_o the_o time_n only_o this_o god_n by_o his_o strange_a kind_n of_o work_n among_o we_o do_v seem_v as_o if_o he_o be_v hasten_v of_o the_o time_n as_o if_o it_o be_v near_o at_o hand_n wherefore_o then_o we_o leave_v all_o

so_o much_o in_o the_o church_n and_o though_o i_o dare_v not_o tell_v you_o the_o time_n yet_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o contrary_a but_o that_o it_o be_v possible_a it_o may_v be_v in_o

that_o time_n however_o when_o we_o do_v but_o think_v that_o there_o be_v a_o time_n that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v honour_v in_o the_o world_n and_o godliness_n shall_v be_v have_v in_o high_a

as_o nothing_o appear_v to_o the_o contrary_a but_o many_o probability_n there_o be_v for_o it_o it_o will_v go_v very_o hard_o with_o you_o if_o so_o be_v these_o time_n shall_v come_v upon_o you_o

be_v know_v and_o yet_o have_v be_v naught_o and_o ungodly_a and_o these_o time_n find_v they_o so_o after_o these_o time_n be_v describe_v to_o john_n in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o revelation_n then_o say_v he_o in_o the_o 21_o chap._n 8._o vers_fw-la but_o the_o fearful_a and_o vnbelieve_v and_o the_o abominable_a and_o murderer_n and_o whoremonger_n and_o sorcerer_n and_o idolater_n and_o all_o

take_v it_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o fearful_a and_o vnbelieve_a be_v here_o place_v among_o these_o notorious_a sinner_n it_o be_v because_o that_o in_o the_o time_n that_o antichrist_n shall_v prevail_v many_o out_o of_o fear_n of_o trouble_n and_o danger_n shall_v deny_v the_o truth_n and_o cleave_v to_o the_o antichristian_a party_n and_o because_o they_o see_v thing_n go_v very_o hardly_o with_o the_o godly_a party_n they_o will_v forsake_v they_o through_o their_o unbelief_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v reckon_v in_o among_o the_o notorious_a vile_a sinner_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o that_o a_o little_a before_o this_o time_n shall_v come_v ☞_o there_o will_v be_v a_o great_a trial_n and_o hour_n of_o temptation_n man_n will_v be_v put_v to_o it_o to_o be_v try_v what_o they_o be_v whether_o they_o have_v faith_n in_o the_o word_n or_o not_o or_o whether_o they_o have_v courage_n for_o god_n or_o not_o now_o therefore_o because_o god_n intend_v to_o put_v man_n to_o the_o trial_n a_o little_a before_o these_o time_n come_v therefore_o he_o say_v the_o fearful_a and_o unbelieving_a he_o reckon_v up_o they_o among_o the_o notorious_a sinner_n as_o if_o the_o lord_n shall_v say_v when_o i_o be_o about_o to_o set_v up_o this_o new_a jerusalem_n there_o will_v come_v a_o time_n of_o trial_n and_o abundance_n of_o you_o that_o make_v fair_a

know_v you_o shall_v have_v your_o portion_n in_o the_o lake_n of_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n which_o be_v the_o second_o death_n and_o so_o in_o the_o 22_o revelation_n there_o the_o holy_a ghost_n speak_v of_o man_n that_o be_v unjust_a when_o this_o time_n shall_v come_v and_o say_v he_o he_o that_o be_v unjust_a let_v he_o be_v unjust_a still_o he_o which_o be_v filthy_a let_v he_o be_v

than_o god_n will_v make_v good_a the_o promise_n that_o he_o have_v make_v unto_o his_o church_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o the_o prophecy_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o church_n which_o

be_v to_o be_v in_o a_o literal_a way_n to_o be_v understand_v and_o all_o for_o the_o want_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o this_o one_o thing_n that_o there_o be_v a_o time_n for_o god_n to_o set_v up_o jerusalem_n as_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n common_o we_o find_v that_o divine_n have_v open_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n either_o by_o way_n of_o a_o allegory_n or_o of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n in_o glory_n so_o that_o there_o have_v be_v a_o great_a mistake_n in_o this_o thing_n we_o find_v in_o the_o 54_o of_o isa_n v_o 17._o when_o the_o lord_n make_v a_o promise_n to_o his_o church_n that_o no_o weapon_n that_o be_v form_v against_o that_o shall_v prosper_v he_o conclude_v it_o and_o say_v this_o be_v the_o heritage_n of_o the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n all_o the_o promise_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v the_o inheritance_n of_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n it_o be_v a_o very_a sweet_a place_n it_o be_v a_o excellent_a place_n to_o poor_a people_n that_o have_v no_o riches_n nor_o inheritance_n leave_v they_o by_o their_o parent_n but_o they_o have_v the_o promise_n for_o their_o inheritance_n thou_o may_v look_v over_o the_o book_n of_o god_n and_o watsoever_o promise_v thou_o find_v make_v to_o the_o church_n thou_o may_v look_v upon_o it_o as_o thy_o inheritance_n many_o carnal_a man_n that_o have_v great_a inheritance_n other_o way_n they_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o saint_n but_o the_o poor_a saint_n have_v all_o the_o glory_n that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o promise_v of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n they_o be_v their_o inheritance_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o have_v little_a why_o thou_o be_v under_o age_n yet_o and_o god_n he_o be_v thy_o guardian_n and_o god_n will_v be_v accountable_a to_o thou_o for_o all_o and_o the_o long_o thou_o stay_v before_o thou_o come_v to_o thy_o inheritance_n the_o more_o shall_v thou_o have_v when_o thou_o come_v to_o it_o and_o therefore_o remember_v that_o all_o the_o promise_n in_o the_o word_n be_v to_o be_v make_v good_a to_o thou_o one_o way_n or_o other_o and_o all_o that_o concern_v his_o people_n will_v be_v make_v good_a in_o this_o world_n when_o god_n shall_v come_v and_o set_v up_o jerusalem_n as_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n we_o shall_v understand_v that_o hereafter_o and_o therefore_o we_o find_v in_o the_o 5_o the_o of_o the_o revelation_n that_o there_o the_o lamb_n he_o only_o be_v able_a to_o open_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o book_n there_o be_v bring_v a_o book_n seal_v and_o a_o proclamation_n be_v make_v to_o know_v who_o be_v worthy_a to_o open_v the_o book_n and_o to_o loose_v the_o seal_n thereof_o now_o the_o text_n say_v that_o john_n see_v none_o

argument_n to_o move_v you_o to_o bring_v up_o your_o child_n in_o godliness_n and_o to_o instruct_v they_o in_o the_o way_n of_o godliness_n because_o if_o you_o shall_v not_o live_v to_o it_o yet_o

willing_a to_o mourn_v with_o jerusalem_n while_o it_o be_v in_o a_o mourn_a condition_n and_o be_v willing_a to_o suffer_v for_o jesus_n christ_n a_o while_n see_v there_o be_v a_o time_n that_o

because_o they_o be_v to_o prophesy_v 1260_o year_n but_o what_o make_v they_o go_v on_o in_o that_o mournful_a condition_n they_o do_v believe_v this_o time_n therefore_o in_o the_o 12._o verse_n you_o shall_v find_v how_o they_o that_o have_v prophesy_v in_o sackcloth_n for_o so_o long_a a_o time_n they_o be_v slay_v a_o little_a before_o this_o time_n come_v and_o for_o three_o year_n and_o

those_o that_o have_v be_v prophesy_v in_o sackcloth_n and_o be_v willing_a to_o suffer_v for_o christ_n for_o a_o long_a time_n now_o they_o be_v call_v up_o and_o honour_v before_o their_o very_a enemy_n let_v we_o be_v willing_a to_o suffer_v and_o that_o will_v be_v a_o evidence_n that_o we_o shall_v rejoice_v with_o this_o new_a jerusalem_n when_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o be_v make_v the_o praise_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n so_o in_o the_o 66_o of_o isa_n v_o 10._o rejoice_v you_o with_o jerusalem_n and_o be_v glad_a with_o she_o all_o you_o that_o love_v she_o rejoice_v for_o joy_n with_o she_o all_o you_o that_o mourn_v for_o she_o all_o that_o mourn_v for_o jerusalem_n when_o the_o glory_n of_o it_o be_v darken_v shall_v come_v and_o rejoice_v with_o jerusalem_n when_o jerusalem_n shall_v be_v make_v as_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n and_o the_o very_a book_n of_o the_o revelation_n be_v write_v on_o purpose_n for_o to_o encourage_v the_o saint_n to_o be_v willing_a to_o suffer_v all_o the_o time_n of_o anti-christ_n reign_n and_o hence_o it_o have_v be_v that_o in_o the_o time_n that_o antichrist_n have_v reign_v there_o have_v be_v so_o little_o know_v of_o the_o book_n of_o the_o revelation_n because_o it_o have_v be_v apply_v only_o in_o a_o metaphorical_a way_n and_o all_o the_o glory_n have_v be_v interpret_v of_o the_o glory_n of_o heaven_n because_o i_o say_v there_o have_v be_v a_o darkness_n on_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n in_o the_o time_n of_o antichrist_n prevail_v and_o it_o have_v be_v the_o care_n of_o antichrist_n to_o darken_v this_o and_o to_o keep_v under_o the_o saint_n and_o to_o make_v they_o suffer_v very_o hard_a and_o grievous_a thing_n but_o as_o i_o remember_v i_o have_v read_v of_o caius_n the_o emperor_n that_o when_o agrippa_n have_v speak_v for_o he_o before_o he_o be_v emperor_n and_o suffer_v for_o his_o sake_n after_o caius_n come_v to_o be_v emperor_n he_o put_v a_o chain_n of_o gold_n about_o his_o neck_n and_o give_v it_o he_o just_a as_o heavy_a as_o his_o iron_n chain_n have_v be_v before_o so_o look_v what_o any_o one_o suffer_v for_o jesus_n christ_n now_o before_o he_o come_v to_o take_v this_o kingdom_n to_o himself_o before_o the_o time_n come_v when_o the_o voice_n shall_v be_v hear_v from_o heaven_n say_v the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v become_v the_o lord_n and_o his_o christ_n and_o he_o shall_v reign_v for_o ever_o i_o say_v look_v what_o measure_n of_o suffering_n any_o have_v for_o christ_n now_o christ_n will_v put_v a_o chain_n of_o gold_n upon_o they_o as_o heavy_a as_o ever_o their_o suffering_n be_v and_o especial_o now_o we_o have_v need_n prepare_v for_o suffering_n if_o it_o shall_v prove_v that_o this_o time_n be_v at_o hand_n for_o we_o find_v that_o a_o little_a before_o this_o glorious_a time_n there_o be_v like_a to_o be_v as_o great_a suffering_n to_o the_o people_n of_o god_n as_o at_o any_o time_n as_o in_o the_o 11_o of_o the_o revelation_n where_o it_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o witness_n prophesy_v in_o sackcloth_n they_o prophesy_v for_o 1260_o year_n but_o they_o be_v not_o slay_v until_o three_o year_n and_o a_o

there_o will_v be_v great_a suffering_n unto_o his_o church_n than_o there_o be_v in_o former_a time_n for_o you_o find_v that_o just_a upon_o their_o slay_v that_o they_o be_v call_v up_o to_o heaven_n and_o the_o seven_o trumpet_n sound_v present_o after_o and_o there_o be_v great_a voice_n in_o heaven_n say_v the_o kingdom_n of_o this_o world_n be_v become_v the_o kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o of_o his_o christ_n and_o he_o shall_v reign_v for_o ever_o and_o ever_o as_o if_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v say_v now_o all_o suffering_n be_v do_v with_o all_o and_o now_o the_o

this_o follow_v present_o upon_o it_o which_o be_v a_o very_a great_a argument_n why_o those_o witness_n be_v not_o yet_o slay_v slay_v because_o immediate_o upon_o their_o be_v slay_v there_o shall_v
