not triumph over his enemies as a Conquerour his sufferings would be counted in vaine on earth therefore Jesus Christ as he is God for the glory of his God-head by his servant John revealeth to His who shall partake of that glory that shall be on earth when the power of the Devill shall be done away And when new heavens and a new earth and the holy City new Jerusalem from heaven shall appeare then shall Jesus Christ glorifie himselfe as God over the Devill and all his workes and powers as that God by whom all things were created both in heaven and earth equall with the Father as a son and heir of all things and second person in the Trinity in that Trinity which is so un●ted in the God-head that cannot be d●vided in the persons as the Nyc●n Creed very w●l● sets forth And thus is Christs coming to reign on the earth proved by the promises of God the workes of God and the glory of God Quest What manner of glory will that be that Christ will have on earth amongst his Saints and what habitation will hee reside in Answ. It will be a heavenly glory according to that which Christ desired as a sonne from God as a Father saying Father glorifie thy sonne with that glory which he had with thee Jesus Christ amongst men on earth prayed to be glorified amongst men on earth with a heavenly glory that men on earth might see him a glorified God and a conquerour of his enemies as well as they did see him a despised and a suffering man under his enemies therefore and according to this do●h John after the prophesie of Isay say I saw a new heaven and a new earth and the holy City new Jerusalem comming downe from God out of heaven with a loud voyce saying Behold the Tabernacle of God is with men and he will dwell with them This glory for the fulnesse of it is not revealed nor shall it be manifested unto men untill mens corruptions shall be done away and that shall not be untill the power of the Devill by the power of Christ shall be taken off of mortality according to that of John I saw on Angell come down from heaven and he laid hold on the Devil bound him a thousand yeares that he should deceive the Nations or corrupt mortality no more untill those thousand yeares should be fulfilled or accomplished This heavenly glory is within the apprehension of no corrupted flesh further then the things of the flesh doth behold the brightest glory of mortality is the Sun and John saith that that glory shall passe the glory of the Sunne insomuch that that holy City new Jerusalem shall not need the light of the Sunne neither shall there be any night in it But as in the Land of Egypt there was an exceeding darknesse at noone-day but in the Land of Goshen there was no darknesse so likewise during those thousand years in all the world there shall be night as well as day but in the new and heavenly Jerusalem there shall be no night at all And this is all that God hath revealed concerning the fulnesse of that heavenly glory because corrupted mortality can apprehend no more as Paul saith If our hope were only in this mortall life then we were of all men most miserable to suffer affliction for hope of a better life if wee should misse of it but saith he Yet it doth not or here it doth not appeare what wee shall be but when mortality shall put on immortality and corruption shall be changed into incorruption then it will appear for here wee know but in part but then shall we know as we are known That is wee who know Jesus Christ as a sufferer and rest upon the promises of God by faith in Jesus Christ for a rewarder though now wee here with Christ suffer for the same shall then know God and Jesus Christ in a heavenly glory conqueringly as they knew us here sufferingly Secondly besides this heavenly glory which will in brightnesse passe the glory of the Sunne Christ will be glorified by new created heavens and earth as Peter saith That is by restoring of the firmamentall heavens whereof now the Devill is Prince into that same condition they were by God created in when God saw them to be very good before man had sinned and they therefore corrupted by those evill Inhabitants the Devill and his Angels And by restoring of the earth with all the creatures created of it by God in the beginning within the fix first days and that God when he had looked saw them to be very good to that same condition they were by God ceated in before man had sinned and they therefore and thereby were by the power of the Devill corrupted This restoration after so long a continuance as almost six thousand yeares shall by men be such a strange alteration as though it were rather a creation then an alteration and they who never did see no other but the corrupted heavens and earth to see an uncorrupted heaven and earth will be to them as a new created heaven and earth And none male nor female from Adam and Eve ever saw any but a corrupted heaven and earth because the heavens and the earth were corrupted before they had any issue therefore doth the Text say that God will create new heavens and earth because the sonnes of Adam never saw that very good condition the heavens and the earth were at the first created in and into which they shall be again restored Thirdly God Christ on earth will be glorified by a a holy City a new Jerusalem from God out of heaven which shall in largenesse so farre passe that old Jerusalem builded by the Jewes though it was in Solomons time the greatest City in the whole world as a Citie of twelve thousand furlongs square which is by eight furlongs to a mile fifteen hundred miles square can passe the largenesse of that old Jerusalem and this City shall so far passe the old Jerusalem in glory as precious stones can surpasse in glory ordinary stones wood bricke morter iron steele and brasse in the foundations walls and gates thereof and the pavements of this City shall so far surpasse in glory the pavements of the old Jerusalem as polished gold like transparent glasse doth surpasse pibble stones as John at large expresseth the same And the Temple in this City shall so far surpasse in glory Solomons Temple that was the glory of the old Jerusalem as the glory of God and Jesus Christ doth surpasse the glory of fine gold which was the glory of that Temple as the Text saith The gold beautified the Temple And this holy and great City shall be the refiding place of GOD and Jesus Christ on earth with all the faithfull members of Jesus Christ from Abel to that day Object This relation of John is to signifie and figure out Gods glorious Kingdome to eternity and not
