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.

under_o gospel_n dispensation_n which_o truth_n be_v abundant_o confirm_v by_o the_o prophet_n and_o acknowledge_v almost_o by_o all_o the_o learned_a only_o herein_o as_o i_o conceive_v they_o

those_o text_n that_o i_o have_v allege_v out_o of_o the_o new_a testament_n there_o be_v many_o as_o first_o it_o be_v object_v concern_v the_o parable_n of_o the_o tare_n that_o though_o it_o be_v true_a say_v they_o that_o it_o be_v the_o master_n say_v that_o the_o tare_n shall_v grow_v with_o the_o wheat_n unto_o the_o harvest_n yet_o nevertheless_o this_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o not_o that_o they_o shall_v both_o grow_v together_o in_o the_o church_n for_o if_o they_o shall_v than_o it_o will_v contradict_v scripture_n rule_n which_o be_v that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n leave_v power_n unto_o his_o church_n to_o purge_v themselves_o and_o not_o to_o suffer_v the_o tare_n to_o grow_v among_o they_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o pray_v mind_n how_o the_o lord_n jesus_n sow_v good_a seed_n in_o his_o field_n and_o give_v his_o servant_n power_n to_o water_v it_o and_o to_o weed_v out_o all_o such_o bad_a weed_n as_o may_v grow_v among_o they_o now_o pray_v mark_n those_o servant_n in_o process_n of_o time_n fall_v asleep_a and_o in_o time_n forget_v and_o neglect_v their_o duty_n the_o devil_n take_v this_o occasion_n sow_v his_o tare_n among_o they_o which_o when_o the_o blade_n be_v spring_v up_o and_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n than_o appear_v the_o tare_n also_o and_o in_o time_n grow_v too_o many_o for_o the_o good_a seed_n second_o the_o servant_n in_o process_n of_o time_n begin_v to_o wake_v and_o find_v the_o tare_n by_o their_o work_n to_o be_v tare_n indeed_o they_o begin_v to_o be_v offend_v at_o they_o whereupon_o they_o go_v to_o the_o householder_n and_o say_v unto_o he_o sir_n do_v not_o thou_o sow_v good_a seed_n in_o thy_o field_n whence_o then_o have_v it_o tare_n he_o say_v unto_o they_o a_o enemy_n have_v do_v this_o the_o servant_n say_v unto_o he_o will_v thou_o that_o we_o gather_v they_o up_o but_o he_o say_v nay_o left_a while_o you_o gather_v out_o the_o tare_n you_o root_n up_o the_o wheat_n also_o let_v both_o grow_v together_o until_o the_o harvest_n at_o which_o time_n i_o will_v say_v to_o the_o reaper_n gather_v together_o the_o tare_n first_o and_o bound_v they_o in_o bundle_n to_o burn_v they_o but_o gather_v the_o wheat_n into_o my_o barn_n it_o be_v object_v again_o true_a they_o may_v grow_v together_o in_o the_o world_n which_o as_o the_o lord_n jesus_n expound_v it_o be_v the_o field_n but_o they_o may_v not_o be_v permit_v in_o the_o church_n together_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o desire_v all_o man_n to_o consider_v the_o difference_n of_o time_n for_o it_o be_v not_o now_o as_o it_o

shall_v be_v scatter_v among_o the_o antichristian_a state_n as_o be_v clear_a in_o the_o 2_o verse_n where_o it_o be_v say_v the_o good_a man_n be_v perish_v out_o of_o the_o earth_n and_o there_o be_v none_o upright_o among_o man_n they_o all_o lie_n in_o wait_n for_o blood_n they_o bunt_fw-la every_o man_n his_o brother_n with_o a_o net_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o prophet_n micah_n now_o pray_v hear_v what_o the_o prophet_n zephaniah_n say_v touch_v this_o day_n or_o the_o time_n of_o this_o dispensation_n of_o the_o lord_n people_n in_o his_o first_o chapter_n and_o 15._o verse_n he_o say_v that_o day_n be_v a_o day_n of_o wrath_n a_o day_n of_o trouble_n and_o distress_n a_o day_n of_o wastness_n and_o desolation_n a_o day_n of_o darkness_n and_o gloominess_n a_o day_n of_o cloud_n and_o thick_a darkness_n and_o then_o in_o the_o 17._o verse_n he_o say_v i_o will_v bring_v distress_n upon_o man_n that_o they_o shall_v walk_v like_o blind_a man_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v give_v because_o they_o have_v finned_a against_o the_o lord_n now_o hear_v what_o the_o prophet_n zechariah_n say_v touch_v this_o dead_a time_n of_o the_o lord_n people_n in_o chapter_n 14._o 5_o 6._o he_o say_v speak_v of_o the_o last_o time_n and_o you_o shall_v flee_v to_o the_o valley_n of_o the_o mountain_n for_o the_o valley_n of_o the_o mountain_n shall_v reach_v

and_o in_o that_o day_n the_o light_n shall_v not_o be_v clear_a nor_o dark_a but_o it_o shall_v be_v one_o day_n know_v unto_o the_o lord_n not_o day_n nor_o night_n but_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o at_o evening_n time_n it_o shall_v be_v light_n thereby_o show_v that_o in_o this_o gloomy_a day_n the_o people_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v in_o darkness_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o light_n of_o the_o spirit_n compare_v to_o the_o sun_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o first_o gospel_n time_n and_o all_o outward_a administration_n shall_v in_o that_o day_n be_v darken_v upon_o they_o and_o thus_o much_o for_o proof_n from_o the_o prophecy_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n of_o this_o sleepy_a or_o dead_a condition_n of_o the_o people_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o the_o last_o

withdraw_n of_o his_o spirit_n and_o captivate_v of_o his_o people_n among_o the_o nation_n and_o antichristian_a state_n before_o that_o bright_a day_n of_o the_o lord_n appear_v to_o deliver_v they_o out_o of_o their_o bondage_n and_o captivity_n in_o which_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v fill_v with_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o the_o water_n cover_v the_o sea_n i_o shall_v now_o

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

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

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

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

a_o lamb_n as_o if_o he_o cut_v off_o a_o dog_n neck_n he_o that_o offer_v a_o oblation_n as_o if_o he_o offer_v swine_n blood_n he_o that_o burn_v incense_v as_o if_o he_o bless_v a_o idol_n yea_o they_o have_v choose_v their_o own_o way_n and_o their_o soul_n delight_v in_o their_o abomination_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v gather_v this_o instruction_n that_o when_o once_o the_o lord_n have_v forsake_v his_o own_o ordinance_n and_o that_o the_o glory_n be_v depart_v from_o that_o administration_n that_o the_o same_o worship_n be_v most_o abominable_a before_o god_n and_o that_o people_v own_o way_n be_v as_o wicked_a in_o kill_v a_o ox_n thereby_o to_o sacrifice_v unto_o god_n if_o he_o have_v leave_v that_o worship_n as_o to_o kill_v a_o man_n be_v most_o wicked_a before_o god_n and_o man_n as_o be_v clear_a from_o the_o plain_a letter_n of_o the_o text_n and_o for_o confirmation_n of_o this_o exposition_n because_o it_o may_v seem_v odious_a to_o some_o man_n not_o well_o weigh_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o this_o place_n pray_v turn_n to_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n the_o 7._o 48._o 49._o where_o the_o martyr_n saint_n stophen_n allege_v the_o same_o pprophecy_n of_o isaiah_n against_o the_o jew_n which_o labour_v to_o maintain_v their_o worship_n and_o temple_n when_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n be_v depart_v from_o it_o but_o i_o suppose_v it_o will_v be_v object_v that_o we_o acknowledge_v that_o concern_v the_o temple_n and_o worship_n of_o the_o jew_n the_o glory_n be_v depart_v from_o that_o administration_n and_o it_o be_v most_o wicked_a for_o his_o people_n to_o practice_v it_o but_o what_o make_v that_o to_o we_o that_o be_v under_o the_o administration_n of_o gospel_n order_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o i_o do_v conceive_v this_o be_v a_o type_n of_o that_o desolate_a condition_n which_o shall_v befall_v the_o christian_n under_o gospel_n administration_n and_o i_o believe_v it_o will_v be_v acknowledge_v that_o the_o glory_n be_v depart_v from_o the_o outward_a administration_n for_o very_a experience_n teach_v we_o that_o the_o sun_n be_v darken_v in_o respect_n of_o that_o glory_n it_o do_v shine_v in_o in_o the_o first_o gospel_n time_n and_o the_o ordinance_n change_v and_o corrupt_v from_o their_o first_o purity_n i_o shall_v now_o second_o prove_v the_o people_n of_o the_o lord_n ought_v to_o wait_v by_o watch_v &_o prayer_n without_o the_o ordinance_n in_o their_o purity_n after_o the_o glory_n be_v depart_v from_o they_o by_o our_o saviour_n dehortation_n of_o his_o people_n from_o the_o use_n of_o they_o in_o their_o purity_n from_o his_o own_o word_n matthew_n 24_o 25._o 26._o where_o he_o say_v behold_v i_o have_v tell_v you_o before_o wherefore_o if_o they_o shall_v say_v unto_o you_o behold_v he_o be_v in_o the_o desert_n go_v not_o forth_o behold_v he_o be_v be_v in_o the_o secret_a chamber_n believe_v it_o not_o where_o pray_v mark_n for_o our_o instruction_n what_o he_o say_v behold_v i_o have_v tell_v you_o before_o as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v take_v notice_n of_o my_o word_n for_o i_o have_v admonish_v you_o before_o hand_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o time_n wherein_o you_o shall_v be_v persuade_v to_o go_v out_o of_o your_o desert_n condition_n in_o some_o order_n which_o shall_v seem_v to_o be_v the_o way_n of_o god_n but_o he_o say_v if_o they_o shall_v say_v unto_o you_o he_o be_v in_o the_o desert_n go_v not_o forth_o which_o thew_n that_o they_o be_v in_o some_o desert_a condition_n at_o the_o same_o time_n which_o as_o i_o conceive_v be_v among_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n or_o in_o captivity_n among_o the_o antichristian_a state_n but_o say_v he_o go_v not_o forth_o i_o shall_v show_v my_o thought_n what_o i_o take_v this_o desert_n to_o be_v which_o i_o think_v to_o be_v that_o condition_n of_o man_n which_o go_v under_o the_o profession_n of_o ramer_n or_o as_o some_o call_v they_o notionist_n which_o walk_v without_o order_n or_o such_o as_o profess_v they_o enjoy_v god_n and_o have_v the_o spirit_n above_o the_o common_a sort_n of_o man_n which_o walk_v in_o order_n which_o i_o do_v believe_v the_o experience_n of_o thing_n in_o short_a time_n will_v prove_v this_o to_o be_v a_o truth_n if_o we_o consider_v what_o have_v come_v to_o pass_v already_o if_o we_o look_v upon_o no_o other_o thing_n but_o that_o book_n late_o come_v forth_o entitle_v a_o fiery_a fly_v rol_o which_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o the_o author_n be_v not_o guide_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n neither_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o do_v any_o such_o action_n as_o he_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o boast_v of_o in_o that_o book_n by_o secret_a chamber_n i_o take_v they_o to_o be_v those_o single_a fellowship_n of_o man_n which_o boast_v so_o much_o of_o gospel_n order_n under_o what_o title_n soever_o they_o be_v call_v the_o word_n in_o the_o original_n as_o say_v the_o learned_a in_o the_o tongue_n signify_v a_o upper_a room_n which_o may_v be_v a_o state_n above_o other_o as_o they_o boast_v themselves_o i_o shall_v show_v my_o proof_n and_o reason_n for_o this_o exposition_n the_o first_o be_v from_o luke_n the_o 17._o 22._o where_o our_o saviour_n say_v the_o day_n will_v come_v when_o you_o shall_v desire_v to_o see_v one_o of_o the_o day_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o you_o shall_v not_o see_v it_o now_o what_o can_v be_v there_o mean_v but_o that_o you_o be_v in_o a_o desolate_a condition_n and_o in_o captivity_n shall_v desire_v to_o return_v unto_o the_o freedom_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o walk_v in_o the_o ordinance_n thereof_o but_o you_o shall_v not_o second_o my_o second_o ground_n for_o this_o exposition_n be_v from_o the_o glory_n be_v depart_v from_o the_o outward_a administration_n for_o after_o once_o the_o abomination_n be_v full_o set_v up_o the_o church_n become_v desolate_a and_o be_v leave_v like_o a_o wilderness_n isaiah_n the_o 27._o 10._o there_o shall_v the_o calf_n feed_v and_o lie_v down_o and_o consume_v the_o branch_n thereof_o compare_v with_o rev._n the_o 12._o 6._o 14._o as_o much_o as_o if_o the_o prophet_n shall_v have_v say_v there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o the_o holy_a city_n shall_v be_v leave_v without_o defence_n and_o shall_v be_v the_o habitation_n of_o calfish_n and_o beastly_a man_n which_o shall_v consume_v the_o people_n thereof_o i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o my_o three_o reason_n take_v from_o matthew_n the_o 24._o 24._o where_o it_o be_v say_v for_o there_o shall_v arise_v false_a christ_n and_o false_a prophet_n and_o shall_v show_v great_a sign_n and_o wonder_n insomuch_o as_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a they_o shall_v deceive_v the_o very_a elect_n and_o from_o revelation_n the_o 13._o 11_o 13._o where_n speak_v of_o the_o second_o beast_n he_o say_v that_o he_o have_v two_o horn_n like_o a_o lamb_n but_o he_o speak_v like_o the_o dragon_n and_o also_o he_o do_v great_a wonder_n so_o that_o he_o make_v fire_n to_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n in_o the_o fight_n of_o man_n where_o pray_v note_n here_o be_v something_o that_o be_v like_a to_o the_o way_n of_o christ_n for_o he_o say_v that_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a they_o shall_v deceive_v the_o very_a elect_n and_o here_o be_v fire_n make_v to_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n now_o what_o be_v this_o fire_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n as_o be_v pretend_v which_o those_o that_o have_v as_o they_o say_v attain_v to_o the_o high_a perfection_n do_v so_o much_o enjoy_v as_o that_o they_o boast_v of_o perfection_n in_o this_o life_n a_o four_o reason_n be_v take_v from_o the_o text_n itself_o where_o it_o be_v say_v behold_v he_o be_v in_o the_o secret_a chamber_n believe_v it_o not_o which_o chamber_n as_o say_v the_o learned_a in_o the_o tongue_n in_o the_o original_n signify_v a_o upper_a room_n or_o state_n above_o other_o now_o i_o appeal_v to_o any_o man_n whether_o these_o man_n especial_o those_o that_o do_v profess_v to_o come_v near_o to_o the_o way_n of_o jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o boast_v to_o be_v above_o other_o in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o this_o be_v the_o professinn_n of_o all_o man_n that_o reform_v in_o those_o way_n for_o every_o profession_n to_o esteem_v his_o own_o way_n above_o other_o a_o five_o ground_n or_o reason_n for_o my_o exposition_n of_o this_o text_n to_o be_v this_o be_v take_v from_o matthew_n the_o 24._o 27._o where_o the_o come_n of_o the_o lrod_n jesus_n be_v compare_v
