the Jews a notable mark since they are by divine Providence kept distinct from all other Nations in the midst of their dispersions This Nation shall not pass away but is preserved under some notable design of God for their good and welfare in the latter day for though their strange and admirable disjoyntings and dismembrings ly incumbent as a present curse npon them yet shall it in the end be turned into a glorious blessing At which time when the Lord shall have formed his work upon Zion and delivered the Gentile Churches into their glorious liberty and restored Israel to their own Land to worship our blessed Lord according to his Gospel Institutions in Emanuel's Land then will the times of blessedness shine forth in their radiant lustre prophesied of by holy Doniel the man of desires and those 1000 years felicity to the Church treated of by the beloved Disciple Of these blessed times the Primitive Church had great and illustrious knowledge as being near to the Apostolical times and information Let me give in some evidences before I finish this Paragraph In the first place Justin Martyr in his Dialogue with Trypho the Jew is signally to be remembred as being so very express in this point of the glorious liberty of the Church for a 1000 years in the latter days that he reckons them among the Atheists and wicked Hereticks of his time who denied it For although Justin's Text be corruptly read in our common Editions yet 't is evident by the question of Trypho and the whole following series of Justin's reply that the aforesaid words are verily the genuine mind of that Author since in the following lines he calls them 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Christians in all things Orthodox who in his days did assert it To prove it he cites the Prophets Ezekiel and Isaiah and especially the last in these words For as the days of the Tree of Life so shall be the days of my People as he reads the 22 verse and thus glosses upon it We understand that the thousand years are designed by those expressions in a secret Mystery for whereas it was said to Adam In the day that thou eatest of the Tree thou shalt dye we know that he did not fulfil a 1000 years and then cites both Peter and John for the same purpose But besides that Primitive Martyr Jerom also though he frequently and testily enough inveigh against it yet in several places manifests that it was the general notion of those early and purer times In his Comment on the 19th of Jeremy mentioning this Kingdom declares himself thus Quae licet non sequamur tamen damnare non possumus quia multi Ecclesiasticorum virorum Martytyres ista dixerunt Which things saith he though we receive not yet we cannot condemn because many Church-men and Martyrs have declared it Again on the 28th of Isaiah glancing at the same persons breaks forth into these words Quorum nequaquam sententia reprobanda est dummodo spiritualiter haec complenda non carnaliter noverimus whose judgment is in no wise to be rejected so be it we acknowledge those things to be fulfilled spiritually and not carnally But in no place doth he more copiously mention that I remember the maintainers of this truth than in his Preface to the 65th of Isaiah where he acquaints us that among the Latin Fathers Tertullian Victorinus Lactantius and among the Graecians that I may pass by others says Jerom Irenaeus Bishop of Lyons were of this apprehension Against whom Dionysius Bishop of Alexandria wrote sharply but Apollinarius answered him in two Volumns Quem says our Bethlemite non solum suae sectae homines sed nostrorum in hac parte duntaxat plurima sequitur multitudo whom not only persons of his own way but a great multitude also of ours do follow only in this particular And therefore presages great opposition to himself in respect to his followiug notes upon the 65 and 66 Chapters of Isaiah Since as he speaks a little before multorum veterum Opinionibus contraire videbimur we shall seem to contradict the sentiments of many of the Ancients I might produce other Citations from his Comments on Hos 1 and 2. and Micah 2 c. but forbear to enlarge Let us hear what Austin speaks to it in his Book of the City of God Quae Opinio esset utcunque tolerabilis si aliquae deliciae spiritales in illo Sabbato affuturae sanctis per domini praesentiam crederentur Nam etiam nos hoc opinati sumus aliquando which apprehension says he however might be tolerable did they believe any spiritual joys to attend the Saints from the Presence of the Lord in that Sabath for even our selves have sometimes bin of this perswasion But good Austin might have reflected upon many Scriptures and several of the Ancients holding out a greater measure of holiness as well as external selicity to be the portion of those happy times of the Church By these Citations and others that might be produced we may clearly perceive that multitudes of holy and learned Persons in Asia Europe and Africa entertained this Doctrine for Scripture truth in the Apostolical and purer Age of the Church But as the Man of Sin did gradually ascend the Chair of Infallible Iniquity So among other blessed truths this also containing an illustrious Branch of Christ's Kingly Office was daily neglected slighted oppressed and almost extinguished by the smoaky fumes of the Bottomless Pit yea at last they came to that heigth that Pope Leo the 10th in the 19th Session of his Lateran Council Decreed That none should presume among other things to preach of or assert the coming of Antichrist lest that grand Imposture should be more discovered But his own Canon Law hath lighted such a Torch to reveal and detect him to the World that all the Lungs of Europe are not able to blow out and 't is exprest thus Siquis c. per seditionem vel presumptionem aut quolibet ingenio electus c. perpetuo Anathemate c. abjiciatur sicut Antichristus Invasor Destructor totius Christianitatis c. If any man be chosen Pope by sedition presumption or any other artifice let him be cast away as Antichrist an Invader and Destroyer of all Christianity by a perpetual Curse And again Siquis pecunia vel gratia humana vel populari seu militari tumultu sine concordi c. electione c. Cardinalium c. non Apostolicus sed Apostaticus habeatur If any be chosen by mony Simony or favour of men or by Popular or Military Tumult without the concording Election of the Cardinals c. let him not be esteemed Apostolical but Apostatical Let then the whole World judge by their own Decrees what they are that sit in the Roman Chair but Antichristian Enemies to the Church who have bin the great opposers and oppugners of this Truth Yea we may

the height of their expectation they shall be most miserably torn Jerusalem taken the Houses rifled the Women ravisht and half carried out for a new Captivity then will the Lord set his feet upon the Mount of Olives for their deliverance Then a Saviour shall come upon Mount Zion to judge the Mount of Esau i. e. the opposite enemy and the Kingdom shall be the Lords But to repair to the connexed Epocha of 1290 to initiate and begin 1260 we must infer that since all the forenamed roots of numeration are past without deliverance either to Gentile Churches in Europe or to Israel that we are to spring another rise and that is from the taking away of the Gospel-Sacrifice of pure Worship by a new Babilonian Monarch by a second Antiochus by the grand Antichrist who setting in the Temple of God as God hath introduced most horrible pollutions and defilements in the Evangelical Worship Now this Prince of Sin arose gradually together with the ten Kings from the year 410 when Rome was taken by Alaricus and continued increasing and waxing in his grandeur and power till that was taken away which hindred his revelation in the World which was the Roman Empire But the Roman Empire drew its last gasp and was finally and totally extirpated in the year 476 Thus divine Providence doth usually perform its mighty works gradually by distinct intervals of progress which leads us to a consideration of a 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or compass of years contained within the latitude of 66 from the year 410 to 476 in which year Augustulus was deposed So then if ye add the 1260 years we arise to 1736. About which I am verily persuaded that the great Mystery of the ruine of Antichrist will be amply manifest and visible upon the face of the earth and forasmuch as the ten last Caesars were rather Caesarculi some appointed from the East and some rising out of their mutual combustions and that the Roman Territory was exceedingly diminisht cut short in Italy by the Goths We may indeed look upon the Roman Empire as good as ruined at the death of Valentinian the third in the year 455 which by connection of the 1260 brings us to 1715 about which times the pre-consideration of the ruine of the Roman Empire conducts to the expectation of great devastations and confusions in the Papal The fuller indagation of these periods belonging to another paper I return to Israel and Daniel's computation of their times by adding 30 years more to these 1260 there with making up his 1290. So that if the 1260 do finish about 1700 or 1715 or at utmost in 1736 then 30 years after their expiration and the great conflicts with the Papal powers in the West will begin the stirs and commotiabout the Jews aud Israel in the East if then to 1736 we add 30 more they reach to 1766 the times of Israels gatherings from their dispersions and conflicts for their Country with the Nations and powers that may detain and obstruct them which times of distress and perplexity are determined to last 45 years longer which answers in some measure to the Typical remembrance of the time from their ancient coming out of Egypt till they were almost quietly settled in most parts of the Land of Canaan If then we conjoyne these 45 years more to 1766 it produces 1811 for those times of happiness to Israel for blessed is he that waiteth and cometh to 1335 days to the consumption and destruction of their enemies But how far further the finishing of the remainders of that Assyrian War when 7 Shepherds and eight principal men alluding to the King of Persia and his 7 great Princes or Counsellers of State shall be raised up for the defence of Israel how far I say those times may extend and how long it shall be to utter abolition of the Papal remnants after the 1260 days of his power are expired that is how long the Vials shall be pouring out upon him his Throne and all his Adherents in the West and upon the jurisdiction of his City when the three parts only shall remain of his 10 Principalities or how long it shall be to the utter ruine of the Turk in the East and the deliverance of the Graecian Churches and the subduing of all other powers that shall assemble and withstand the design of God in erecting the Kingdom of the Stone cut out from the Mountains of Gods Decrees without hands of humane aid or power I say how far those times of the victorious success of the Church may be amplified and extended is beyond man to dictate and determine Neither do I yet clearly see by what texts of Scripture we can distinctly proceed to chain or connex the 1000 years glory of the Church in a compleat golden link with any former expiring currents of Prophecy unless it be to the end of Daniel's 1335 or the end of the Vials and some other latent numbers not yet apparent to us in the surface of Scripture neither may we be so bold as to build upon that notion of the house of Elias mentioned by that Learned Earl of Mirandula and others for the continuation of the World in its state of misery and bondage for 6000 years according to the six days of Creation It was a current Notion in the Primitive times among the Christians applying that of Peter One day with the Lord is as a thousand years as if so be it did pre-signifie the duration of the World as I have before touched out of Justin Martyr and that the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the resurrection of the World to a Sabbath of rest and glory and felicity doth reflect upon the seventh day wherein the Lord rested from his labours and was refreshed and then the eigth day from the Creation for the resurrection of our Lord should presignify the Saints rising to glory and being for ever with the Lord in Heaven Let these hints suffice at present not willing to expatiate in gratifying our curiosity with conjectures that perhaps may not prove clearly scriptural Let 's study with the Apostle 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to be wise to sobriety and not surmise beyond what 's written Leaving the punctual particularitys of the timeing of Prophecies with the issues of Providence unto the Father in whose holy hands the signatures of all times are written Let 's be very thankful that our blessed Saviour hath so far indulged his Church as to signify by his servant John the duration of Antichrist their last and principal enemy to be 1260 years and that we may collect from evident Scripture proof that these years are well nigh expired 'T is a wonderful mercy let 's be highly thankful for this discovery and rejoice in Zion's approaching glory The Conclusion It s now high time to fix a period to this inquisition and conclude with a serious reply to such as may demand Cui bono
