a shepherd goeth before his flo●k SECT XVIII ANd then one King shall be King over them all even David and they shall have one shepherd Christ for my Tabernacle shall be with them yea I the Lord will be their God For I am the Resurection and the life and blessed are they that have their part in the first resurrection Even the Resurrection of the Just for they that have done good shall come forth unto the Resurrection of life and they that have done evil or the works of the divel shall come forth unto or not until the Resurrection of Damnation death eternal or day of Judgement for the Righteous shall not come into condemnation or Judgement but are passed or passe here from this temporal death to life being the children of the Resurrection Christ and were reconciled to Christ before their departure out of this life For as the Tree here falleth so it lyeth SECT. XIX FOr know ye not that the Saints shall Judge the world or the dead men of this world who have their portion in this life where they have and do receive their Consolation and Glory But the Saints shall Reigne with Christ a thousand years before the day of Judgement or Resurrection of the damned for all that time the wicked shall be silent in darkness they shall not live they shall not rise the foolish shall not stand before thine eyes But thy dead or the dead in Christ shall live with this my body shall they arise yea they shall shout for joy But the unbeleeving shall not see life or Christ the Prince of life in his Glory because the Wrath of God death and hell abideth on them till the day of Judgement for after the Sabbattical thousand years Reigne then the Trump shall blow And the Dead shall be Raised and brought to Judgement and then shall the last Enemy called divel death hell and darkness be put under his feet by the Father and shall then be cast into the bottomless pit of horror and perpetuall darkness Yea all the wicked shall be gathered out of all parts of the world and brought into the Land of Palestina for they must be judged in the same land where the first Adam was Created and Transgressed and the second Adam Christ Jesus was Renounced Denied Judged Tormented and Crucified even in the land of Israel s nativity in the very Valley of Je●osap●a being in the land of Palestina Eden Paradise the Mount of God the Garden of God c. SECT. XX THen shall they say This Land that was desolate is become like the Garden of Eden for then the Mountains shall drop sweet wine they the Saints shall not hunger nor thirst but they shall feed in the ways and he that hath mercy on them shall lead them and guide them by the spring● of waters and I will make all my mountaines a way for them And I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and they shall plant Vinyards and drink the wine thereof and make gardens and eat the fruit thereof and I will plant them upon their own land they shall no more be pulled or taken out of their Land For the righteous shall inherit the land then and dwell therein for ever and they shall eat and drink at Christ's table in his kingdome of glory SECT. XXI THen shall five Cities of the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan and Ethiopia shall also stretch forth her hands unto the Lord-God of Israel In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and Assria even a blessing in the middest of the land from the River of Egypt to the River Euphrates Whom the Lord of hosts shall bless saying ●lessed be Egypt my people and Assiria the work of mine hands and Israel mine Inheritance their eyes shall then see the King in his glory because Egypt and Ass●ria sh●wed favour to Israel and Judah in time before and Ethiophia's Queen came to hear the wisdome of Sol●m●n and after that they sought af●er Christ saying Where is he th●t is born King of the Jews and had the favour above all other Nations in the world to see a●d know his Star and were directed by it to the place of his birth Bethlehem And then the Mountains of Israel shall bring forth their fruit to the people of Israel for they are at hand to come for he shall say to his Angels Gather my Saints together those that have made a Covenant with me by Sacrifice even Israel and Judah and they shall come from the East and from the West and from the North and from the South and shall sit down with Abraham Isaac and Iacob and all the Prophets in the Kingdom of God to whom the land was given and the land shall be then digged and sown and Israel shall be multiplied upon it and the Cities shall be built and Inhabited by Man and Beasts and they shall be setled after their old Estate yea I will do better unto you then at your beginning yea I will cause my people Israel to walk upon thee O Land and thou shalt be their Inheritance and shalt bereave them of me● no more Therefore thou Land of Palestina that hast devoured men and bereaved the Nation Israel and Judah shalt devour men no more neither bereave the Nations any more saith the Lord God For unto the Angels of darkness hath he not put in subjection the world of eternall Glory to come even that everlasting world that shal be without end But this world of sin which was and is given to darkness is and ever hath bin in subjection unto Lucifer the Divel and his angels of darkness but this evil the divel shall not then dwell with goodness light and glory Christ Jesus and Israel shall then fill the face of the world of Glory with fruit when he hath raised them and brought them into his vinyard for there will he give them his land even upon the Mountains of spices SECT. XXII ANd when Israel and Judah shall be gathered out of all Countries and thus brought to their own land then shall they be cleansed from all their filthiness and a new heart and a new spirit will the Lord give them and they shall dwell in the Land which he gave to their fathers Abraham Isaac and Jacob who as yet have had no inheritance in it no not to set their foot upon it but died in faith not having received the promises but seeing them a far off imbraced them and confessed that they were strangers and Pilgrimes on the earth desiring a better even a heavenly durable glorious and everlasting countrey and inheritance given to them of God by promise of which Countrey God is not ashamed to be called their God SECT. XXIII ANd he hath also prepared for them a City where we shall be all fellow Citizens with the Saints and of the houshold of God a City which hath

eternal purpose in Christ Jesus whereby he hath made them heires of glory yea joynt heires with Christ to be glorified together with him Whose spirit beareth witness to our spirits that we are the Children of God the Father and heires with Christ who is the Ordained God and Lord over all blessed for ever He came out of the mouth of the most high God the Father and so is he the word of God For the Creator of all things gave him a Commandment and ordained his tabernacle or personall presence to rest Saying to him let there be a firmament and let thy dwelling be in Jacob and thine inheritance in Israel Yea he came forth as a brook from a river for he the Father created him the beginning and he shall never faile and thus is he established in Zion in the beloved City Jerusalem is his rest and power being the portion of his inheritance Where he the word the life the way the truth the righteo●sness and the l●ght is by the Father decreed to dwell in g●ory with all his saints for ever There is also a word which is called upon with death who is called darknes hell falshood vanity unrighteousness wrath destroyer Sathan wickedness God grant it be not found in the heritage of Jacob the Saviour But this word was found in Jacob or Judah when they renounced the word of life and glory Christ saying we have no King but Caesar and his blood be on us and our Children Then spake he unto them in or by this word of darkness his wrath the divel and vexed them in his sore displeasure for they were given up by God the Father to him the wrath therefore said to be of their Father the divel the destroyer For as God or goodness is set by the Father against evill the divell light against darkness mercy against wrath life against death the Saviour against the destroyer even so is the Godly against the Sinner and the Sinner against the Godly Even so also look upon the works of the most high God the Father and there are ●wo Christ and Belial the accepted and the rejected and their two works are one against the other The ways of Righteousness are plain and easy to the righte●us but his commands are stumbling blocks to the wicked And for the Children of Righteousness are good things created or decreed by the father in the or this sacred beginning Even life eternall in glory but for the sinners or the Children of the disobedient one or evill things created or decreed even eternall being in the land of horrour drought and darkness for ever with their Father the divell for the wrath of God is revealed now but shall then be manifest Called Principalities Powers Hosts Ministers that at the Almighty's pleasure on his works yea powers of darkness Beelzebub that act by fire famine sword and pestilence punishing the wicked to destruction and boasting themselves in mischief and destruction whose nature and property is cruelty and destruction therefore stiled a roaring Lyon the destroyer but not the Saviour Christ whose nature and property is mercy and preservation and therefore is he stiled the preserver of men yea the Oracle or mouth of God the Father Thus you see that all things are double or decreed for a double use one against the other some for the light to abide in glory and some for the darkness Beelzebub to abide for ever in darkness For all that obey or do his will shall reap perdition but they that walk in the light and are Children of the light shall inherit the land or earth of glory and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace Thou wilt say why doth he then complain for who hath or doth resist his will for can I do any other then I am lead forth unto or made to do But O man who art thou which pleadeth or speaketh against God thy maker for shall the thing formed say unto him that formed it why hast thou made me thus hath not thee Potter power of one lump to make one vessell to honour or for the acting of the spirit of honour and glory Christ Jesus and another to dishonour or for the acting of the spirit of dishonour and reprobation Beelzebub what and if God will to manifest wrath and to make his the sdivels elotted or meated out power known to the Creature uffer the vessels of wrath prepared or decreed to destruction to act the will and works of wrath and that he might also declare the riches and power of his glory for Christ is the glory and power of God unto salvation upon the vessels of his mercy Christ the mercy of God which he hath prepared or decreed unto glory to act the works of mercy here for glory hereafter For if thou be determined for glory and the vessell or body be filled at present with the Spirit of glory truth and righteousness Christ Jesus then shalt thou act and be led forth to the works of glory truth and Righteousness For the meanes shall never be wanting that drives on to the end of the Fathers decree But if thou remaine under the power and guidance of the spirit of darkness then canst thou do none other works then the works of darkness and then thou wilt apprehend the word works and actings of Christ in his vessels of honour called saints to be ridiculous and foolishness for he that is not for Christ is against him But wo unto him that striveth with this his maker Christ Jesus the Lord of life and glory for this maker the Lord our Righteousness is the husband or bridegroome to the Saints and he will marry them unto himself in Righteousness and glory everlasting for he will give unto them salvation in Zion O therefore say not thou it is through the Lord Christ my maker that I perish for he causeth me to err for who dare say unto him what hast thou done or who dare stand against his Judgement to whom all power is given by the Father both in heaven and earth or who dare accuse him for the nations that perish whom he hath made or who dare stand against him to revenge the cause of the wicked that are by him cast off or rejected therefore happy yea thrise happy are all they that are possessed and guided by this sacred spirit wisdom For she was created or produced by the Father before all things she hath built her everlasting foundations with men and is given by the rather to be with their seed in glory for ever For all such as band themselves against Jehovah and against his anointed power for 〈◊〉 are described and known to be disobedient men of this earth or world of darkness guided by the rebellious spirit of wrath darkness and enemies to the obedient spirit of sight life and determined glory to the elect and obedient
