thousand_o time_n ten_o thousand_o stand_v before_o he_o the_o judgement_n be_v set_v and_o the_o book_n be_v open_v and_o because_o of_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o great_a word_n which_o the_o horn_n

sit_v in_o judgement_n that_o they_o be_v not_o angel_n but_o saint_n the_o saint_n of_o the_o most_o high_a for_o there_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o horn_n make_v war_n with_o the_o saint_n and_o

the_o time_n come_v that_o the_o saint_n possess_v the_o kingdom_n and_o that_o those_o saint_n that_o have_v judgement_n give_v to_o they_o and_o that_o be_v say_v to_o sit_v in_o judgement_n that_o they_o be_v the_o instrument_n by_o who_o the_o beast_n be_v to_o be_v judge_v and_o slay_v be_v further_a clear_a in_o this_o 26_o verse_n where_o it_o have_v be_v declare_v in_o the_o former_a verse_n how_o evil_o the_o horn_n shall_v deal_v with_o the_o saint_n it_o be_v say_v but_o the_o judgement_n shall_v sit_v and_o they_o shall_v take_v away_o his_o dominion_n to_o consume_v and_o to_o destroy_v it_o unto_o the_o end_n thus_o it_o be_v also_o evident_o the_o sense_n of_o these_o verse_n compare_v together_o that_o by_o the_o judgement_n sit_v be_v mean_v a_o certain_a number_n of_o saint_n that_o by_o the_o wisdom_n providence_n and_o power_n of_o the_o most_o high_a be_v convene_v together_o and_o invest_v with_o power_n and_o authority_n and_o a_o spirit_n of_o

with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n and_o break_v they_o in_o piece_n like_o a_o potter_n vessel_n if_o they_o cast_v not_o their_o crown_n at_o his_o foot_n and_o kiss_v he_o with_o the_o kiss_n of_o faith_n and_o obedience_n in_o the_o three_o first_o verse_n of_o that_o psalm_n the_o prophet_n seem_v to_o have_v in_o his_o eye_n the_o rage_n of_o the_o heathen_a and_o the_o fury_n and_o the_o madness_n of_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n at_o that_o time_n when_o god_n shall_v set_v up_o the_o kingdom_n of_o jesus_n christ_n over_o the_o whole_a world_n as_o if_o that_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o see_v preparation_n unto_o such_o a_o thing_n that_o their_o spirit_n shall_v be_v present_o enrage_v and_o they_o their_o king_n and_o ruler_n especial_o shall_v set_v their_o whole_a

his_o christ_n or_o anoint_v they_o say_v among_o themselves_o come_v let_v we_o break_v their_o bond_n and_o cast_v away_o their_o cord_n from_o we_o but_o alas_o poor_a worm_n what_o do_v they_o he_o that_o sit_v in_o the_o heaven_n shall_v laugh_v say_v the_o psalmist_n 6._o psalmist_n vers_fw-la 4_o 5_o 6._o the_o lord_n shall_v have_v they_o in_o derision_n yea_o he_o shall_v speak_v unto_o they_o in_o his_o wrath_n and_o vex_v they_o in_o his_o sore_a displeasure_n when_o they_o shall_v so_o do_v and_o notwithstanding_o he_o will_v set_v his_o king_n upon_o his_o holy_a hill_n of_o zion_n and_o shall_v give_v he_o the_o heathen_a for_o his_o inheritance_n and_o the_o uttermost_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o his_o possession_n some_o of_o which_o be_v pertinacious_a and_o obstinate_a opposer_n he_o shall_v break_v with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n and_o dash_v they_o in_o piece_n like_o a_o potter_n vessel_n and_o therefore_o the_o spirit_n exhort_v all_o those_o king_n ruler_n and_o judge_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o be_v wise_a and_o receive_v this_o instruction_n even_o to_o kiss_v the_o son_n and_o and_o to_o serve_v the_o lord_n with_o fear_n and_o rejoice_v with_o

that_o day_n of_o the_o king_n the_o lord_n christ_n his_o exaltation_n he_o add_v bless_a be_v all_o they_o that_o wait_v for_o he_o thus_o this_o scripture_n full_o concurre_v with_o the_o present_a text_n in_o assert_v this_o thing_n that_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v subject_v to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o as_o it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o all_o dominion_n or_o as_o the_o word_n may_v be_v more_o right_o render_v all_o ruler_n must_v serve_v and_o obey_v he_o so_o the_o same_o be_v clear_o declare_v in_o this_o prophecy_n of_o the_o psalmist_n also_o the_o next_o scripture_n which_o i_o shall_v quote_v for_o the_o clear_n of_o this_o point_n shall_v be_v that_o in_o the_o 110_o psalm_n which_o be_v also_o very_o full_a to_o this_o purpose_n for_o there_o the_o psalmist_n speak_v of_o a_o time_n when_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n there_o style_v a_o priest_n for_o ever_o after_o the_o order_n of_o melchizedeck_v shall_v be_v set_v up_o and_o exalt_v above_o all_o the_o king_n and_o potentate_n of_o the_o world_n and_o when_o he_o shall_v rule_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o enemy_n and_o shall_v have_v his_o enemy_n make_v his_o footstool_n and_o shall_v judge_v among_o the_o heathen_a and_o wound_v the_o heathen_a and_o wound_v the_o head_n over_o many_o country_n and_o fill_v they_o with_o the_o dead_a body_n and_o his_o people_n shall_v be_v willing_a in_o that_o day_n of_o his_o power_n so_o that_o hence_o it_o be_v clear_a also_o that_o there_o be_v a_o time_n come_v when_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v have_v the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n subject_v to_o he_o and_o because_o it_o be_v and_o will_v be_v so_o that_o when_o he_o come_v thus_o to_o rule_v and_o reign_v that_o many_o people_n but_o especial_o the_o great_a one_o king_n prince_n ruler_n and_o head_n of_o kingdom_n shall_v endeavour_v to_o oppose_v the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o so_o do_v therefore_o it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o he_o shall_v strike_v through_o king_n in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o wrath_n and_o wound_v the_o head_n over_o many_o country_n the_o three_o scripture_n which_o i_o shall_v cite_v for_o the_o confirm_v of_o this_o

judgement_n write_v this_o honour_n have_v all_o his_o saint_n now_o true_a it_o be_v that_o almost_o hitherto_o since_o the_o primitive_a time_n the_o saint_n have_v be_v as_o it_o be_v tread_v under_o foot_n of_o the_o gentile_n that_o be_v of_o heathen_a or_o profane_a man_n and_o they_o have_v trample_v upon_o they_o and_o sore_o afflict_v they_o for_o they_o have_v both_o imprison_v

either_o invent_v or_o inflict_v have_v the_o meek_a the_o precious_a one_o of_o god_n undergo_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o cruel_a rage_a enemy_n but_o here_o they_o have_v a_o promise_n that_o

shall_v be_v the_o work_n of_o that_o great_a day_n and_o that_o which_o shall_v follow_v immediate_o upon_o it_o follow_v in_o v._o 2_o 3._o of_o the_o chap._n whereby_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o this_o chapter_n speak_v of_o this_o great_a day_n of_o the_o deliverance_n both_o of_o jew_n and_o gentile_n though_o to_o daniel_n be_v a_o jew_n there_o be_v no_o mention_n make_v of_o the_o gentile_n but_o of_o his_o people_n only_o well_o this_o be_v a_o prophecy_n of_o this_o great_a day_n let_v we_o now_o see_v what_o in_o this_o chapter_n be_v speak_v of_o the_o time_n now_o i_o find_v that_o this_o chapter_n speak_v of_o three_o distinct_a period_n of_o time_n in_o which_o three_o distinct_a remarkable_a thing_n shall_v come_v to_o pass_v in_o order_n to_o the_o deliverance_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o the_o first_o time_n mention_v the_o 6_o and_o 7_o verse_n speak_v to_o and_o in_o the_o 6_o verse_n this_o question_n be_v make_v how_o long_o shall_v it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n of_o these_o wonder_n to_o which_o in_o the_o 7_o verse_n a_o double_a answer_n be_v give_v which_o be_v confirm_v with_o a_o very_a solemn_a oath_n first_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v for_o a_o time_n time_n and_o a_o half_a and_o second_o that_o when_o he_o shall_v have_v accomplish_v to_o scatter_v the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a people_n all_o these_o thing_n shall_v be_v finish_v now_o for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o answer_n because_o i_o have_v have_v occasion_n already_o to_o open_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o witness_n it_o in_o my_o book_n entitle_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o witness_n and_o have_v show_v that_o the_o same_o expression_n in_o the_o revelation_n and_o this_o here_o agree_v in_o one_o and_o point_n at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n namely_o the_o flourish_a time_n of_o the_o beast_n the_o prevail_a time_n of_o the_o beast_n wherein_o he_o shall_v have_v power_n to_o overcome_v the_o saint_n and_o to_o trample_v they_o under_o foot_n even_o forty_o two_o month_n or_o a_o time_n time_n and_o half_a a_o time_n and_o have_v clear_v this_o and_o show_v when_o that_o time_n do_v expire_v and_o that_o after_o that_o time_n neither_o the_o beast_n nor_o the_o little_a horn_n prevail_v any_o more_o i_o say_v have_v speak_v of_o these_o thing_n already_o i_o shall_v refer_v the_o reader_n thereunto_o where_o they_o shall_v find_v that_o in_o 1645_o the_o beast_n cease_v to_o prevail_v against_o the_o saint_n and_o the_o time_n wherein_o he_o shall_v tread_v the_o holy_a city_n under_o foot_n than_o come_v to_o a_o end_n and_o neither_o he_o nor_o his_o associate_n shall_v ever_o prevail_v more_o and_o then_o this_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o first_o answer_n to_o the_o question_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o time_n time_n and_o a_o half_a and_o then_o a_o end_n shall_v come_v in_o which_o time_n time_n and_o half_a the_o saint_n shall_v be_v keep_v under_o by_o enemy_n but_o then_o a_o end_n shall_v come_v and_o deliverance_n come_v and_o the_o second_o branch_n of_o the_o answer_n make_v this_o clear_o to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o former_a which_o be_v in_o these_o word_n and_o when_o he_o shall_v have_v accomplish_v to_o have_v scatter_v the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a people_n all_o these_o thing_n shall_v be_v finish_v in_o which_o first_o be_v clear_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o time_n when_o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a people_n shall_v be_v scatter_v the_o saint_n shall_v be_v destitute_a of_o power_n to_o oppose_v a_o enemy_n and_o consequent_o shall_v be_v keep_v under_o by_o a_o enemy_n second_o this_o be_v clear_a in_o these_o word_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o time_n when_o this_o shall_v be_v accomplish_v or_o complete_v i_o mean_v their_o power_n be_v scatter_v there_o shall_v be_v a_o time_n when_o it_o shall_v be_v full_o do_v for_o then_o a_o thing_n be_v accomplish_v when_o it_o be_v full_o do_v as_o much_o as_o
outward_a mercy_n which_o we_o have_v speak_v of_o so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o creature-comfort_n no_o outward_a blessing_n which_o saint_n shall_v then_o want_v but_o as_o the_o earth_n which_o be_v 1._o be_v psal_n 24._o 1._o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v then_o give_v to_o they_o so_o also_o all_o the_o fullness_n thereof_o all_o that_o which_o may_v conduce_v to_o the_o make_n of_o they_o full_o outward_o comfortable_a as_o well_o as_o those_o inward_a comfort_n already_o speak_v of_o so_o that_o in_o all_o respect_n the_o 15_o the_o psal_n 118._o 15_o voice_n of_o rejoice_v and_o salvation_n shall_v be_v hear_v in_o the_o tabernacle_n of_o the_o righteous_a i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o speak_v of_o other_o thing_n but_o before_o i_o do_v there_o will_v be_v one_o objection_n and_o three_o query_n to_o be_v answer_v a_o objection_n and_o first_o some_o may_v say_v it_o be_v true_a they_o do_v expect_v that_o god_n will_v do_v great_a thing_n for_o his_o people_n but_o they_o expect_v not_o these_o outward_a thing_n that_o have_v be_v speak_v of_o for_o how_o can_v it_o be_v a_o mercy_n to_o the_o saint_n to_o enjoy_v these_o see_v the_o world_n and_o worldly_a enjoyment_n usual_o prove_v a_o snare_n unco_n they_o and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v 1_o tim._n 6._o 9_o that_o they_o that_o will_v be_v rich_a fall_v into_o temptation_n and_o a_o snare_n and_o into_o many_o foolish_a and_o hurtful_a lust_n which_o drown_v man_n in_o destruction_n and_o perdition_n and_o it_o be_v too_o evident_a how_o the_o world_n have_v choke_v the_o grow_a of_o grace_n in_o those_o heart_n where_o eminent_o it_o shine_v before_o they_o do_v possess_v so_o much_o of_o the_o world_n and_o since_o they_o have_v have_v much_o of_o the_o world_n they_o seem_v to_o be_v more_o proud_a and_o be_v not_o in_o that_o humble_a posture_n as_o before_o and_o they_o appear_v to_o be_v more_o cold_a and_o formal_a and_o can_v swallow_v those_o thing_n which_o before_o they_o condemn_v in_o other_o and_o it_o be_v so_o though_o the_o lord_n will_v do_v great_a thing_n for_o his_o people_n yet_o it_o be_v doubtful_a say_v some_o whether_o it_o shall_v be_v in_o outward_a respect_n which_o do_v thus_o usual_o prove_v snare_n to_o saint_n and_o do_v prove_v so_o in_o constantine_n the_o great_a his_o time_n and_o afterward_o when_o the_o godly_a emperor_n bestow_v great_a outward_a possession_n upon_o the_o godly_a bishop_n then_o they_o begin_v to_o decay_v and_o grow_v cold_a and_o corrupt_v and_o loose_a in_o their_o life_n which_o make_v s._n augustine_n utter_v this_o expression_n religio_fw-la peperit_fw-la divitias_fw-la &_o filia_fw-la devoravit_fw-la matrem_fw-la that_o be_v religion_n bring_v forth_o riches_n and_o the_o daughter_n have_v devour_v the_o mother_n whereby_o he_o import_v that_o riches_n have_v prove_v a_o great_a snare_n to_o religious_a people_n and_o eat_v out_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n and_o how_o then_o shall_v we_o expect_v these_o outward_a enjoyment_n which_o have_v prove_v and_o do_v prove_v such_o snare_n in_o these_o glorious_a time_n we_o be_v look_v for_o the_o answer_n to_o the_o objection_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o god_n will_v do_v great_a thing_n for_o his_o people_n in_o outward_n as_o well_o as_o in_o spiritual_n be_v very_o clear_a the_o scripture_n be_v so_o plentiful_a and_o full_a in_o the_o declare_v of_o it_o and_o since_o it_o be_v his_o pleasure_n in_o these_o late_a day_n to_o deliver_v the_o creature_n from_o the_o bondage_n of_o corruption_n and_o to_o restore_v all_o these_o outward_a thing_n to_o their_o primitive_a goodness_n and_o glory_n that_o his_o people_n may_v see_v how_o good_a these_o lefthand-mercy_n if_o i_o may_v so_o term_v they_o be_v which_o for_o their_o use_n be_v appoint_v that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v full_o sensible_a of_o his_o goodness_n therein_o i_o say_v since_o he_o have_v thus_o appoint_v and_o the_o scripture_n full_o declare_v he_o will_v do_v it_o why_o shall_v it_o be_v doubt_v but_o second_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v that_o these_o outward_a enjoyment_n do_v prove_v and_o have_v prove_v snare_n let_v that_o be_v consider_v which_o i_o have_v already_o say_v how_o that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v with_o the_o saint_n in_o these_o time_n as_o it_o have_v be_v former_o but_o that_o the_o spirit_n shall_v be_v more_o abundant_o pour_v out_o upon_o saint_n than_o it_o have_v be_v and_o if_o thou_o that_o so_o objecte_v consider_v it_o than_o thou_o will_v see_v that_o the_o spirit_n be_v so_o glorious_o enjoy_v will_v preserve_v saint_n from_o be_v so_o snare_v &_o overtake_v with_o the_o temptation_n of_o the_o world_n as_o too_o many_o former_o have_v be_v and_o three_o whereas_o thou_o say_v that_o many_o now_o be_v snare_v with_o the_o world_n i_o desire_v thou_o to_o consider_v first_o whether_o such_o as_o be_v so_o snare_v and_o carry_v away_o with_o the_o world_n from_o their_o first_o love_n have_v ever_o any_o love_n to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o sincerity_n whether_o they_o be_v not_o as_o the_o thorny_a ground_n or_o the_o stony_a ground_n that_o never_o have_v good_a root_n never_o have_v indeed_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o son_n in_o they_o but_o seem_v to_o receive_v the_o word_n but_o it_o be_v but_o with_o outward_a flash_n of_o joy_n or_o second_o if_o they_o true_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o jesus_n whether_o it_o be_v not_o in_o a_o weak_a and_o a_o low_a degree_n for_o thou_o shall_v find_v that_o those_o that_o have_v a_o high_a measure_n of_o the_o spirit_n they_o though_o they_o be_v great_a in_o the_o world_n be_v as_o full_a of_o life_n and_o vigour_n and_o of_o fervent_a love_n to_o christ_n as_o those_o that_o be_v mean_a and_o walk_v as_o humble_o as_o any_o of_o they_o nay_o some_o of_o those_o that_o god_n have_v give_v great_a outward_a preferment_n unto_o and_o have_v much_o of_o the_o world_n in_o their_o possession_n do_v far_o exceed_v many_o of_o those_o saint_n that_o be_v of_o more_o inferior_a rank_n in_o the_o world_n and_o go_v beyond_o they_o in_o zeal_n and_o fervency_n of_o spirit_n and_o be_v exemplary_a in_o a_o holy_a humble_a and_o unspotted_a conversation_n therefore_o if_o some_o be_v corrupt_a and_o cold_a and_o carnal_a that_o have_v much_o of_o these_o outward_a thing_n impute_v it_o not_o to_o those_o outward_a thing_n which_o simple_o consider_v in_o themselves_o have_v no_o evil_n in_o they_o but_o impute_v it_o to_o that_o corrupt_a heart_n that_o so_o abuse_v these_o enjoyment_n again_o fourthly_a consider_v what_o i_o have_v already_o say_v viz._n that_o the_o chief_a of_o the_o saint_n comfort_n in_o these_o time_n will_v consist_v in_o their_o inward_a enjoyment_n and_o those_o that_o be_v true_o spiritual_a and_o shall_v indeed_o be_v account_v worthy_a to_o stand_v before_o the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o that_o day_n shall_v be_v such_o who_o heart_n be_v set_v upon_o desire_v the_o spiritual_a enjoyment_n of_o this_o kingdom_n above_o all_o thing_n else_o and_o to_o such_o these_o thing_n shall_v be_v add_v but_o let_v such_o who_o more_o desire_v outward_a comfort_n then_o spiritual_a enjoyment_n and_o manifest_v it_o by_o their_o present_a unjust_a scrape_n of_o these_o outward_a thing_n together_o know_v that_o they_o shall_v in_o that_o day_n enjoy_v neither_o the_o one_o nor_o the_o other_o comfortable_o as_o appear_v isai_n 65._o 13_o 14_o 20._o and_o so_o much_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o objection_n a_o querie_n but_o second_o it_o may_v be_v query_v whether_o when_o the_o saint_n shall_v enjoy_v all_o these_o thing_n they_o shall_v not_o follow_v their_o several_a employment_n and_o vocation_n as_o now_o they_o do_v a_o answer_n to_o the_o querie_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v yes_o it_o be_v clear_a they_o shall_v follow_v several_a employment_n as_o now_o they_o do_v but_o doubtless_o in_o a_o more_o regular_a and_o more_o excellent_a and_o comfortable_a way_n then_o many_o now_o do_v i._n e._n some_o shall_v not_o labour_v and_o toil_n day_n and_o night_n scarce_o allow_v themselves_o any_o time_n to_o spend_v in_o the_o performance_n of_o holy_a duty_n or_o for_o lawful_a and_o convenient_a recreation_n to_o maintain_v other_o that_o live_v vicious_o in_o idleness_n drunkenness_n and_o other_o evil_a practice_n i_o say_v it_o shall_v not_o be_v thus_o then_o such_o idle_a and_o profane_a creature_n shall_v then_o have_v no_o allowance_n or_o sufferance_n to_o live_v such_o life_n as_o now_o they_o do_v but_o to_o the_o question_n that_o man_n shall_v then_o follow_v their_o several_a employment_n and_o calling_n be_v clear_a in_o these_o scripture_n amos_n 9_o 13._o behold_v in_o that_o day_n say_v the_o lord_n the_o ploughman_n shall_v overtake_v the_o reaper_n and_o the_o treader_n of_o grape_n he_o that_o sow_v seed_n
