Gold of Righteousness to rule Nations and that Nation which will not serve thee shall perish and be utterly wasted Who will not serve God in the Saints But then again The Saints shall judge also with Christ not by approbation onely as Gentlemen who sit on the bench with the Judge but the Saints as the Son shall sit in the same judicial throne The Saints shall judge the world yea Angels not onely the world common Churches with all their worships but the Angels of Churches also the Saints shall judge as Christ judged none more hardly then the Priests and Elders of the people Thirdly He that overcometh shall inherit all things and I will be his God and he shall be my Son Here 's the glory of the Son that he is appointed heir of all things Heb. 1. This glory is given to the Saints also though the Saints know it not no more then a crowned Childe in the cradle knows he is a King Here 's the mystery of Christ and of a beleeving Christian also Who is he that overcometh the world but he that beleeveth that Jesus is the Son of God beleeveth in that sense I said before 'T is strange that the Saints who dare not judge any man yet are said to judge all things and to be judged of no man that they who hurt no man should be said to destroy all men that those who have nothing should be said to be heirs of all and inherit all things how could this be but that the Son is in them God in their flesh and so he is their God and they are not onely his sons but his Son This seems to be a truth in it self though not manifest to them till they overcome This overcoming is seven times repeated Revel. 2. and 3. and once more here Revel. 21. 7. There 's a mystery in that also in this overcoming what is it and what is the thing to be overcome In a word 't is the number and name of the Beast that the Saints must get victory of Revel. 15. 2. But what 's the Beast his name and number 't is the number of a man that 's more mysterious yet But sure 't is cleer That every man is brutish in his knowledge and though vain man would be wise yet man is born but a wilde Asses colt yea Man in honor understandeth not but is like a beast that perisheth So that man is the Beast who counts himself wise or to have the knowledge of a man which the wisest man even Agur the Prophet would not own when he was to speak of Ithiel and Ucal that is of Christ and God in Christ for Ithiel is the same with Immanuel God with us and Ucal is a name signifying power as Christ is the wisdom of God and power of God So then when man sees onely of the humanity in himself the wisdom of man or power of man and sees not God all in all and the Godhead in him This is the Beast this the number of his name the number of a man when we shall overcome this this manhood this self and submit to the Godhead in us when we shall see God onely manifest in our flesh and the flesh nothing profiting nothing having no power nor wisdom when thus we deny our selves follow me saith Christ follow him who is our forerunner and gone before into the holiest into the fulness of the Godhead with him then we are said to overcome and inherit all things God is our God and we are his Son then this shall be manifest for Revel. 22. 3. we shall see his face and his name shall be in our foreheads as the Fathers name with Christ Rev. 14 1. so the name of Christ also shall be read in our foreheads Men shall see the Saints as the Son That 's his new name which he will write on us and we shall be called by another name by a new name which the mouth of the Lord shall name Mens mouthes have still formed new names on the Saints as from the beginning so of late In Queen Maries dayes the Saints suffered as Protestants in Queen Elizabeths as Professors in King James's as Puritans in King Charli's as Separatists in our days as Sectaries Heretikes and Blasphemers But the Lord God will give us a new name shortly himself when ye shall leave your name as a curse to my chosen for the Lord God shall slay thee and call his servants by another name Isaiah 65. 15. So far concerning the proof of those Truths so far as I conceive them to be Now I shall come to the Arguments which are three the first from the Old Testament the second from the New the third from both The first Argument is from Isaiah 61. thus Those who are the anointed of God with Christ to preach the Gospel to the world whom the world shall own as the onely Ministers of God and honor as the Son they have all the fulness of the Godhead as the Son But the Saints are the anointed of God with Christ to preach the Gospel to the world and the world shall own them as the onely Ministers of God and honor them as the Son Therefore the Saints have all the fulness of the Godhead with the Son There are four parts in the Argument to prove in this Chapter First The Saints are the anointed of God with Christ that 's plain Isaiah 61. 1 3. The same spirit or oyl powred forth on the Son is powred forth on the Saints and that in the same fulness For secondly They are anointed with him to preach the Gospel to the world the Spirit was on him that he might preach to the world and they shall preach to the world also for they shall build the old wastes and shall raise up the former desolations they shall repair the waste cities the desolations of many generations Verse 4. What wastings hath war made not onely in the visible world but the invisible in the inward man are more wastes and for many generations men have been desolated of that glory once given them Now to repair all things in the world visible and invisible to build up the ruines made not by Rome but even by the most reformed Churches to raise up a new building a city for God to dwell in this is the work of the Son onely yet the Saints shall do it also but I beleeve the world shall be a little more wasted first Thirdly The world shall then own the Saints as the onely Ministers of God Verse 6. Ye shall be called the Priests of the Lord and men shall call you the Ministers of our God Fourthly All that see them shall acknowledge that they are the seed which the Lord hath blessed Verse 9. Now the blessed Seed is Christ Gal. 3. 16. He speaketh not of Seeds as of many but of One the Seed which is Christ All the Saints being many in fl●sh make up but one Christ in
