contrary are they but this distinction must not always last for when Christ comes forth to give up that principle of life in himself and to slay it in them whereby they have thus lived the leaves and fruit of variety and distinction wil soon wither and they will all return back into union and harmony again then shall the earth diselose her blood so Christ brings them both into one and takes them both with all their differences into his own Body and destroys all their differences and offers up all that God dislikes in them in his own Body on the Cross and so sweetly heals up the differences between God and the Creatures by his intire love unto them Epist III. Concerning seven dispensations which hath and shall be fulfilled in their end of time THe first dispensation was when God gave the Law to Adam as soon as he had made him as In the day thou eatest thou shalt die Now this Law it was holy just and good yet it was a killing word or the killing letter for it took hold on Adams disobedience and slew him so all Flesh died for all Flesh broke the Covenant in Adam and so all Humane Flesh was cast under that dispensation of death so every opposite estate wil seek to advance it self The second dispensation is in the first Promise or Manifestation of the Love of God to the creature and the Curse to the Serpent in these words The seed of the woman shall bruise the Scrpents head Gen. 3.15 22.18 and this continued from Adam til Abraham Then the third dispensation or discovery of God is more clear than the former for unto Abraham he speaks more particularly he doth not stil say in general terms the seed of the woman but in thy seed Abraham all Nations of the earth shal bee blessed and so points out more directly in what lineage and generation of Mankinde God would first appear in to bruise the Serpents head and this dispensation continued from Abraham to Moses and they imbraced the promises The fourth dispensation is from Moses till God manifested himself in the Flesh or till Jesus Christ was born of Mary who was one of the house of David and of the lineage of Abraham and this dispensation is more clear than the former for God by Types and Figures and Ceremonies and Shadows did manifest his love to his creatures and his wrath to the Serpent as we may understand when God appears in Johns Baptism or the Water Baptism which did much type forth the Baptism of the Spirit by Fire and the Holy Ghost which should refine and purifie them and saith John I must decrease or that administration I lived in but he that cometh after me which is Christ shal increase and shal baptize you with the Holy Ghost and also God did manifestly set forth his love by the Prophets in that dispensation for then was the shadow of the Law of Moses falling and Gospel-Truths rising whereby they should be the more ceasing from Man whose breath is in his Nostrils and so likewise the love of God did much appear when the sacrifice was slain and offered then God received an atonement it being a type of Gods in-dwelling in the Flesh or a shadow of Christ the Lamb the substances of all those sacrifices and I pray you consider those things which are spoken allegorically concerning Achan Josh 7.26 where it appears that when Achan that troubled Israel was put to death in the valley of Achor the fierceness of Gods wrath was turned away And in Hosea ch 2. v 14 15. where he saith I wil give the valley of Acher for a door of hope which was the place of Achans death so when the Serpent who is our trouble is subdued and killed in the valley of human flesh then the dispensation of mods anger is turned away The fifth dispensation is from the time that God was manifested in the flesh in the person of Iesus Christ to the time that he appeared in the flesh and person of his Saints likewise this also is more clear then the former for Iesus the annoynted was the substance of all those types and shadows of the Mosaical Law for now God doth manifestly appear to dwel in the flesh and by a manifest being to set the Creature free from bonbage and by Immortal life to swallow mort I beings into himself The sixth dispensation is from the time that God appeared in the flesh of the Saints till the perfect gathering up of the Elect which is the work of that dispensation which is called a Referrection day or a great day of Iudgment for so long as the Iudge sits upon the Iudgment seat it is the day of Iudgment which he doth in every dispensation until the time of the Restitution of all things both which are in heaven and which are on earth even in Christ Eph. 1.10 Rev 10.7 but in the dayes of the voice of the seventh Angel when he shal begin to sound the mystery of God should be finished as he hath declared to his servants the Prophets so Gor. i. 15.24 then cometh the end when he that is Christ shal have delivered up his Kingdom to God even the Father compared with Acts 3.21 and this also is more clear then the former as God appeared in Christ who is the root of the creation it was a sign of God the father appearing in the whole body for saith Christ I and the children that thou hast gave me for signes and wonders and according to his promise by Joel ch 2. v. 28. I wil powre out my spirit upon all Flesh c. the Apostles also finding the same in them selves bare witness to it Acts 2.16 And thus I give you a hint of the seventh dispensation when the Gospels declaration shall be fulfilled and we to be transformed and changed into the Heavenly Image whereby all things may be restored into the Indissolable band into the unity and peace of God which passeth all understanding of man and all wars to cease for so long as dispensations last and we under them we are at warts among our selves and with God also in one sense and a rechangable while we are under dispensations and are to be changed from glory to glory as God doth in Scripture declare seven great dispensations or discoveries of his counsel and will each one clearer then other yet in every one of these God doth send forth several other dispensations by the hand of Angels for the carrying on of the work of that time and season which are discoveries of his glory for whatsoever comes from God is a spiritual power and it may be said to be declared by angels as when God appeared in discoveries to his peopel an angel is said to appear unto them as to Joseph in a dream Zachariah in a vision unto Araham and Lot it is said Angels appeared and likewise he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet and they shall
