be_v on_o a_o fire_n and_o cold_a comfort_n for_o the_o twelve_o tribe_n who_o be_v like_a to_o lie_v in_o the_o dungeon_n of_o darkness_n impenitency_n and_o unbelief_n until_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n come_v upon_o they_o and_o damn_v they_o they_o by_o this_o opinion_n shall_v never_o see_v christ_n till_o he_o come_v to_o damn_v they_o their_o conscience_n shall_v be_v fast_o asleep_a until_o hellfire_n awake_v they_o their_o faith_n in_o christ_n shall_v be_v no_o other_o than_o that_o of_o the_o devil_n to_o believe_v and_o be_v damn_v thus_o make_v void_a both_o the_o gracious_a purpose_n and_o promise_n of_o god_n towards_o they_o both_o in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n it_o be_v real_o so_o for_o it_o be_v a_o general_a receive_v truth_n among_o the_o learned_a expositor_n that_o the_o jew_n general_a conversion_n to_o the_o gospel_n shall_v not_o be_v until_o antichrist_n be_v destroy_v and_o it_o be_v a_o clear_a truth_n in_o scripture_n but_o if_o antichrist_n be_v not_o destroy_v until_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n farewell_o the_o jew_n conversion_n and_o salvation_n for_o ever_o some_o of_o the_o learned_a who_o hold_v this_o opinion_n and_o fear_v as_o just_o they_o may_v this_o undeniable_a argument_n ground_v on_o so_o many_o know_a prophetic_a promise_n have_v allow_v the_o jew_n or_o rather_o the_o prophetic_a promise_n about_o seven_o week_n time_n to_o accomplish_v docti_fw-la their_o great_a work_n they_o say_v betwixt_o the_o destruction_n of_o antichrist_n and_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n there_o shall_v be_v the_o

this_o groundless_a opinion_n which_o we_o shall_v answer_v two_o way_n the_o first_o by_o way_n of_o supposition_n second_o plain_o and_o positive_o both_o to_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d i_o suppose_v it_o shall_v be_v grant_v that_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d do_v always_o signify_v christ_n personal_a presence_n yet_o be_v their_o argument_n never_o the_o less_o

probabiltie_n relate_v to_o the_o antichrist_n for_o it_o be_v usual_a say_v the_o learned_a in_o that_o language_n to_o have_v the_o relative_a refer_v not_o to_o the_o proximate_n but_o to_o the_o remote_a antecedent_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o hebrew_n which_o we_o find_v frequent_a in_o scripture_n so_o that_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o text_n possible_o be_v this_o god_n will_v destroy_v antichrist_n when_o he_o shall_v appear_v in_o his_o outward_a splendour_n and_o pomp_n to_o the_o world_n when_o he_o be_v at_o the_o full_a god_n shall_v by_o a_o sudden_a change_n bring_v he_o into_o the_o wane_n until_o he_o have_v utter_o consume_v in_o a_o day_n when_o he_o think_v not_o of_o christ_n and_o a_o hour_n when_o he_o be_v not_o aware_a of_o he_o he_o will_v come_v upon_o he_o and_o cast_v he_o alive_a into_o the_o lake_n that_o burn_v with_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n the_o next_o word_n seem_v to_o confirm_v this_o opinion_n especial_o as_o the_o syriack_n interpreter_n read_v they_o adventus_n enim_fw-la illius_fw-la est_fw-la etc._n etc._n where_o enim_fw-la seem_v to_o be_v put_v causal_o so_o that_o the_o sense_n seem_v to_o be_v this_o the_o lord_n shall_v destroy_v he_o in_o the_o brightness_n of_o his_o come_n because_o his_o come_n be_v according_a to_o the_o work_n of_o satan_n if_o this_o be_v a_o true_a exposition_n as_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v it_o be_v then_o be_v their_o argument_n which_o be_v ground_v on_o this_o text_n quite_o overthrow_v locum_fw-la but_o we_o will_v not_o adhere_v to_o this_o opinion_n &_o therefore_o answer_v positive_o to_o the_o word_n that_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d signify_v not_o always_o the_o personal_a appear_v of_o christ_n it_o be_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o the_o word_n proper_o signify_v presence_n essential_a presence_n &_o ofttimes_o signify_v the_o come_n of_o christ_n to_o judgement_n but_o not_o always_o see_v what_o our_o noble_a english_a greek_n critic_n say_v he_o allow_v it_o a_o saepè_fw-la but_o not_o a_o semper_fw-la it_o be_v oftentimes_o put_v for_o the_o personal_a appearance_n of_o christ_n but_o not_o always_o so_o say_v grotius_n upon_o this_o text_n and_o so_o say_v some_o other_o learned_a protestant_n calvin_n bend_v this_o way_n put_v a_o incertum_fw-la est_fw-la upon_o the_o general_a receive_v opinion_n of_o christ_n come_v to_o judgement_n here_o beside_o all_o this_o we_o have_v many_o clear_a text_n which_o prove_v that_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d do_v not_o always_o signify_v christ_n personal_a appearance_n as_o 2_o pet._n 1._o 16._o
