A85517	The grand catastrophe, or The change of government: being a vvord about the last turn of these times written in a letter to a friend, as an essay, either to give, or to receive satisfaction in the dispute of the last change. By one who takes leave to stile himself Johannes Cornubiensis.	Cornubiensis, Johannes.	1654 (1654)	Wing G1488; Thomason E726_12; ESTC R206800	14,042	17

the_o creator_n counsel_n who_o ever_o set_v himself_o either_o in_o desire_n or_o design_n against_o the_o lord_n and_o do_v receive_v the_o one_o or_o accomplish_v the_o other_o without_o doubt_n if_o the_o most_o high_a rule_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o man_n and_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o please_v there_o can_v be_v no_o resist_n of_o his_o wil._n i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v that_o the_o time_n hasten_v in_o which_o god_n will_v make_v all_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o earth_n nebuchadnezzar-like_a to_o graze_v with_o the_o beast_n and_o to_o wander_v in_o the_o wilderness_n that_o they_o may_v see_v and_o know_v and_o understand_v and_o consider_v that_o he_o be_v resolve_v to_o deal_v with_o they_o as_o rebel_n and_o that_o their_o power_n and_o pride_n and_o pomp_n shall_v be_v so_o stain_v as_o that_o all_o their_o blood_n in_o their_o own_o and_o vassal_n vein_n shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o recover_v their_o splendour_n any_o more_o whatsoever_o god_n will_v in_o heaven_n or_o earth_n that_o do_v he_o and_o though_o monarchy_n lift_v up_o itself_o above_o the_o sky_n though_o it_o fix_v itself_o among_o the_o star_n yet_o even_o thence_o shall_v it_o tumble_v down_o by_o that_o power_n which_o dissolve_v the_o host_n of_o heaven_n and_o cause_v the_o star_n to_o fall_v as_o the_o leaf_n from_o the_o vine_n and_o since_o this_o appear_v to_o be_v his_o determine_a purpose_n upon_o the_o whole_a earth_n i_o persuade_v myself_o it_o will_v be_v but_o a_o vain_a thing_n for_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o prince_n to_o take_v council_n together_o to_o resist_v the_o lord_n and_o his_o christ_n sure_o when_o he_o strike_v they_o will_v be_v but_o as_o a_o potter_n vessel_n and_o when_o god_n be_v break_v of_o they_o why_o shall_v not_o they_o be_v to_o we_o as_o a_o vessel_n wherein_o there_o be_v no_o pleasure_n nay_o why_o rather_o shall_v not_o all_o entertain_v with_o delight_n the_o change_n which_o god_n be_v about_o to_o make_v since_o it_o be_v from_o the_o worse_o to_o the_o better_a from_o the_o unrighteous_a and_o tyrannous_a power_n of_o monarchy_n and_o prince_n into_o his_o government_n of_o judge_n and_o counselor_n which_o be_v from_o the_o beginning_n which_o indeed_o be_v the_o first_o and_o shall_v be_v last_o in_o this_o world_n till_o david_n himself_o do_v come_v again_o and_o the_o lord_n christ_n be_v exalt_v in_o his_o day_n three_o it_o have_v be_v in_o my_o thought_n to_o consider_v whether_o this_o prophecy_n have_v receive_v its_o accomplishment_n or_o be_v yet_o to_o be_v fulfil_v though_o some_o expositor_n seem_v to_o be_v confident_a of_o the_o past_a impletion_n the_o already_o fulfil_v of_o this_o prophecy_n yet_o many_o doubt_n it_o true_a it_o be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o tanquam-accomplishing_a of_o this_o prediction_n after_o the_o return_n of_o the_o jew_n from_o the_o babylonish_n captivity_n but_o yet_o i_o can_v be_v convince_v at_o present_a that_o then_o there_o be_v a_o total_a accomplishment_n of_o it_o so_o as_o to_o rest_v therein_o and_o to_o expect_v no_o more_o from_o this_o scripture_n for_o let_v it_o be_v consider_v whether_o ever_o after_o that_o return_n ever_o in_o their_o best_a and_o quiet_a estate_n jerusalem_n be_v so_o order_v and_o establish_v as_o that_o it_o may_v in_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o letter_n and_o in_o the_o whole_a latitude_n of_o the_o intendment_n of_o the_o phrase_n be_v call_v the_o city_n of_o righteousness_n the_o faithful_a city_n certain_o sacred_a word_n will_v not_o give_v my_o faith_n a_o footing_n to_o believe_v it_o ezra_n and_o nehemiah_n in_o their_o work_n and_o writing_n speak_v at_o another_o rate_n nehemiah_n contest_v about_o oppression_n which_o be_v among_o they_o rife_o and_o ridge_v and_o that_o in_o the_o prime_n of_o their_o reformation_n and_o return_n make_v i_o think_v then_o their_o state_n do_v not_o deserve_v the_o glory_n of_o be_v call_v the_o city_n of_o righteousness_n and_o the_o posture_n or_o rather_o preposterous_a and_o disorderly_a state_n of_o affair_n which_o some_o year_n after_o he_o find_v at_o jerusalem_n do_v give_v little_a ground_n to_o call_v it_o all_o that_o time_n the_o faithful_a city_n etc._n etc._n this_o make_v i_o to_o think_v that_o this_o prophecy_n be_v but_o parallel_a to_o that_o of_o jeremiah_n 31.23_o and_o therefore_o it_o receive_v not_o its_o accomplishment_n at_o their_o return_n from_o babylon_n but_o be_v to_o be_v fulfil_v when_o god_n shall_v bring_v they_o up_o and_o back_o from_o the_o north_n when_o not_o only_a judah_n the_o two_o tribe_n which_o alone_o return_v from_o babylon_n but_o likewise_o israel_n the_o ten_o tribe_n with_o they_o shall_v rejoice_v in_o that_o government_n of_o judge_n and_o counselor_n as_o at_o first_o until_o they_o come_v to_o their_o kingdome-state_n under_o the_o reign_n of_o the_o messiah_n and_o david_n their_o king_n and_o in_o case_n there_o be_v a_o fulfil_n of_o this_o prophecy_n after_o their_o return_n from_o babylon_n i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v it_o be_v but_o such_o a_o fulfil_n as_o have_v be_v of_o some_o other_o which_o be_v rather_o in_o part_n and_o in_o assurance_n of_o the_o truth_n then_o in_o whole_a and_o full_a perfection_n of_o the_o prophecy_n four_o suppose_v then_o this_o prophecy_n as_o yet_o not_o to_o be_v fulfil_v why_o may_v not_o the_o isle_n of_o the_o gentile_n as_o well_o look_v after_o and_o expect_v the_o fulfil_n of_o it_o among_o they_o i_o say_v as_o well_o as_o the_o remnant_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v god_n only_o the_o god_n of_o jew_n or_o be_v he_o not_o equal_o the_o god_n of_o the_o gentile_n in_o the_o prophecy_n of_o god_n restore_v and_o set_v judgement_n in_o the_o earth_n be_v not_o the_o gentile_n express_o mention_v to_o share_v therein_o isa_n 42._o and_o be_v not_o they_o say_v to_o be_v expecttant_n wait_v for_o his_o law_n nay_o do_v not_o the_o connexion_n of_o this_o and_o the_o next_o chapter_n import_n that_o this_o prophecy_n relate_v to_o the_o time_n of_o the_o nation_n flow_v into_o the_o light_n and_o law_n of_o the_o messiah_n certain_a i_o be_o the_o rabbin_n who_o use_v to_o make_v advantage_n of_o all_o scripture_n to_o the_o utmost_a for_o their_o own_o nation_n and_o be_v not_o favourer_n of_o we_o sinner_n of_o the_o gentile_n do_v understand_v this_o scripture_n of_o the_o time_n of_o the_o messiah_n who_o shall_v prevail_v over_o the_o wicked_a so_o kimchy_n phrase_n be_v for_o we_o gentile_n and_o clear_v it_o be_v that_o the_o gentile_n be_v promise_v and_o so_o prophesy_v of_o to_o partake_v with_o to_o share_v in_o and_o suck_v of_o the_o same_o breast_n of_o consolation_n with_o the_o jew_n now_o whether_o it_o be_v a_o consolation_n to_o have_v good_a judge_n and_o righteous_a counselor_n as_o israel_n have_v at_o the_o first_o and_o in_o the_o beginning_n let_v those_o speak_v who_o have_v feel_v the_o burden_n and_o taste_v the_o bitterness_n of_o the_o tyranny_n of_o rebellious_a prince_n and_o monarch_n since_o then_o this_o promise_n or_o prophesy_v call_v it_o as_o we_o please_v refer_v to_o the_o jew_n express_o as_o a_o mercy_n to_o come_v in_o its_o season_n let_v we_o not_o bind_v ourselves_o with_o the_o cord_n of_o fear_n and_o diffidence_n from_o come_v in_o to_o participate_v with_o they_o in_o the_o same_o for_o as_o much_o as_o we_o be_v now_o of_o the_o same_o body_n and_o fellow_n heir_n of_o the_o same_o hope_n and_o partner_n in_o the_o same_o promise_n with_o they_o that_o be_v destroy_v which_o make_v the_o difference_n neither_o let_v it_o be_v think_v too_o great_a ambition_n for_o we_o gentile_n to_o precede_v they_o in_o the_o enjoy_v of_o those_o prophecy_n since_o we_o do_v go_v before_o they_o in_o great_a matter_n and_o why_o may_v not_o god_n hereby_o provoke_v the_o jew_n to_o jealousy_n and_o emulation_n when_o they_o shall_v see_v we_o to_o love_n and_o enjoy_v what_o once_o they_o have_v &_o as_o yet_o want_n and_o yet_o this_o will_v not_o hinder_v but_o that_o the_o jew_n shall_v have_v in_o time_n a_o gradual_a though_o not_o specifical_a pre-eminence_n above_o we_o the_o gentile_n for_o albeit_o we_o be_v the_o first_o in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o the_o fulfil_n yet_o may_v they_o be_v the_o chief_a in_o the_o perfection_n of_o this_o promise_a
