A89056	A further discovery of the mystery of the last times; as an addition to a little book, called Some discoveries of the mystery of the last times, bordering upon the coming of the Lord Jesus. Set forth for the good of all men; but especially of those who in these dissenting times (wherein Ephraim envieth Juda, and Juda vexeth Ephraim) know not where to settle themselves, or to what society of Christians to joyn themselves: wherein is (as simply and plainly, as the author was able to open those mysterious scriptures quoted in this following treatise) shewed the cause of all our divisions and contentions about matters pertaining to form and order in the church of Jesus Christ; and wherein is moderately proved from those scriptures these particulars. 1. The flourishing and building condition of the church of Jesus Christ in the time of the gospel. ... 7. Lastly, that the Lord Jesus will by himself destroy all those enemies, and deliver his people, when the restoration of all things shall be.

be_v in_o pain_n we_o have_v as_o it_o be_v bring_v forth_o wind_n we_o have_v not_o wrought_v any_o deliverance_n in_o the_o earth_n neither_o have_v the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o world_n fall_v as_o

desire_v to_o destroy_v babylon_n and_o to_o deliver_v ourselves_o but_o it_o come_v to_o nothing_o and_o to_o no_o effect_n and_o then_o in_o the_o next_o verse_n the_o lord_n jesus_n as_o i_o conceive_v answer_v she_o say_v thy_o dead_a man_n shall_v live_v together_o with_o my_o dead_a body_n shall_v they_o arise_v awake_v and_o sing_v you_o that_o dwell_v in_o the_o dust_n as_o much_o

when_o my_o dead_a body_n that_o be_v the_o church_n shall_v arise_v why_o then_o awake_a and_o sing_v now_o if_o any_o shall_v ask_v any_o of_o our_o professor_n if_o they_o do_v not_o travel_v to_o

every_o profession_n six_o i_o shall_v prove_v the_o people_n of_o god_n posture_n to_o be_v watch_v and_o prayer_n during_o the_o dead_a condition_n from_o the_o condition_n the_o people_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v in_o when_o he_o appear_v and_o destroy_v all_o their_o enemy_n and_o restore_v they_o they_o be_v like_o a_o wilderness_n and_o all_o false_a way_n in_o a_o flourish_a condition_n this_o be_v prove_v from_o isaiah_n 29_o 19_o where_o it_o be_v say_v be_v it_o not_o yet_o a_o very_a little_a while_n and_o lebanon_n shall_v be_v turn_v into_o a_o fruitful_a field_n and_o the_o

out_o upon_o we_o from_o above_o and_o the_o wilderness_n be_v a_o fruitful_a field_n and_o the_o fruitful_a field_n be_v count_v as_o a_o forest_n now_o what_o can_v be_v more_o clear_o speak_v then_o this_o touch_v this_o thing_n for_o it_o be_v the_o principle_n of_o every_o profession_n at_o this_o day_n for_o they_o say_v that_o the_o way_n we_o now_o practice_v be_v the_o way_n by_o which_o the_o lord_n jesus_n will_n more_o and_o more_o draw_v out_o his_o people_n into_o gospel_n order_n until_o he_o have_v full_o bring_v they_o out_o of_o babel_n and_o prepare_v they_o to_o meet_v he_o in_o zion_n and_o this_o be_v the_o say_n and_o tenant_n of_o every_o profession_n whereas_o contrariwise_o he_o say_v by_o his_o prophet_n that_o at_o the_o time_n when_o the_o spirit_n be_v pour_v out_o from_o on_o high_a his_o people_n shall_v be_v like_o a_o wilderness_n and_o the_o false_a worship_n be_v count_v as_o a_o fruitful_a field_n and_o then_o be_v that_o great_a change_n wrought_v but_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o before_o we_o take_v upon_o we_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o gospel_n we_o be_v like_o a_o wilderness_n but_o since_o we_o come_v into_o gospel_n order_n we_o have_v be_v like_o a_o fruitful_a field_n and_o this_o change_n be_v now_o a_o work_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o change_n shall_v not_o be_v wrought_v until_o the_o lord_n destroy_v babylon_n or_o the_o antichristian_a state_n and_o this_o be_v clear_a by_o isaiah_n the_o 35._o and_o the_o first_o and_o so_o forth_o for_o in_o the_o forego_n chapter_n be_v the_o 34._o the_o lord_n set_v before_o we_o the_o destruction_n of_o all_o nation_n but_o especial_o of_o idumea_n which_o i_o conceive_v in_o the_o mystery_n to_o be_v antichrist_n or_o false_a brethren_n as_o edom_n be_v to_o israel_n and_o in_o the_o 14._o verse_n he_o come_v to_o say_v as_o it_o be_v that_o now_o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v deliver_v out_o of_o she_o the_o wild_a beast_n of_o the_o desert_n shall_v also_o meet_v with_o the_o wild_a beast_n of_o the_o island_n and_o the_o satyr_n shall_v cry_v to_o his_o fellow_n which_o compare_v with_o revelation_n the_o 18._o 2._o do_v full_o agree_v now_o mark_v what_o follow_v in_o the_o 35._o chapter_n where_o it_o be_v say_v the_o wilderness_n and_o the_o solitary_a place_n shall_v he_o glad_a for_o they_o that_o be_v for_o their_o destruction_n and_o the_o desert_n shall_v rejoice_v and_o blossom_n as_o a_o rose_n so_o that_o i_o conclude_v from_o this_o text_n if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o that_o before_o the_o lord_n destroy_v antichrist_n with_o the_o spirit_n of_o his_o mouth_n and_o the_o brightness_n of_o his_o come_n the_o people_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n shall_v be_v in_o respect_n of_o outward_a order_n and_o discipline_n like_o a_o wilderness_n and_o desert_n and_o babylon_n and_o all_o false_a way_n shall_v be_v in_o a_o flourish_a condition_n like_o a_o fruitful_a field_n and_o thus_o much_o to_o this_o proof_n while_o my_o cogitation_n be_v exercise_v about_o this_o treatise_n there_o come_v to_o my_o hand_n a_o little_a book_n write_v by_o thomas_n vane_n doctor_n of_o divinity_n and_o

true_a church_n where_o in_o the_o 17_o and_o 18_o chapter_n he_o make_v conversion_n of_o kingdom_n and_o monarch_n and_o sanctity_n of_o doctrine_n and_o life_n to_o be_v mark_n of_o the_o true_a

profess_v our_o love_n to_o christ_n in_o these_o thing_n which_o have_v diligent_o consider_v i_o think_v he_o have_v almost_o forget_v the_o true_a duty_n of_o christian_n religion_n mention_v in_o those_o two_o place_n isai._n 58._o 6_o 7._o and_o james_n 1._o 27._o where_o the_o prophet_n say_v thus_o be_v not_o this_o the_o fast_a that_o i_o have_v choose_v to_o loose_v the_o band_n of_o

thy_o own_o flesh_n where_o note_n one_o of_o the_o duty_n of_o christianity_n be_v to_o do_v good_a to_o our_o own_o flesh_n which_o can_v well_o be_v do_v by_o afflict_v our_o body_n by_o unnecessary_a fasting_n and_o great_a austerity_n and_o the_o apostle_n st._n james_n say_v pure_a religion_n and_o undefiled_a before_o god_n and_o the_o father_n be_v this_o to_o visit_v the_o

be_v in_o the_o first_o gospel_n time_n the_o servant_n now_o have_v be_v asleep_a and_o the_o church_n have_v lose_v her_o power_n the_o number_n of_o tare_n be_v above_o the_o number_n of_o the_o

root_v up_o the_o wheat_n also_o with_o they_o second_o the_o lord_n jesus_n do_v now_o expound_v the_o world_n to_o be_v his_o kingdom_n whereas_o before_o it_o be_v the_o church_n which_o be_v particular_o christ_n kingdom_n for_o in_o the_o same_o chapter_n where_o this_o parable_n be_v set_v forth_o in_o verse_n the_o 38._o he_o say_v the_o field_n be_v the_o world_n and_o then_o in_o the_o 41_o verse_n it_o be_v say_v and_o they_o shall_v gather_v out_o of_o his_o kingdom_n all_o thing_n that_o offend_v and_o they_o that_o do_v iniquity_n and_o shall_v cast_v they_o into_o a_o

and_o sever_v the_o bad_a from_o among_o the_o just_a it_o be_v further_a object_v that_o whereas_o the_o lord_n jesus_n say_v that_o he_o will_v gather_v out_o of_o his_o kingdom_n all_o thing_n that_o offend_v and_o they_o that_o do_v iniquity_n this_o kingdom_n say_v they_o be_v that_o kingdom_n which_o the_o lord_n jesus_n will_v purge_v in_o the_o new_a world_n wherein_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o the_o canaanite_n in_o the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o although_o antichrist_n have_v get_v possession_n and_o do_v rule_n and_o reign_v in_o the_o church_n yet_o the_o lord_n do_v call_v it_o his_o church_n which_o i_o prove_v from_o these_o scripture_n isaiah_n 27._o 10_o where_o he_o say_v yet_o the_o defence_a city_n shall_v be_v desolate_a and_o the_o habitation_n forsake_v and_o leave_v like_o a_o wilderness_n there_o shall_v the_o calf_n feed_v and_o there_o shall_v he_o lie_v down_o and_o consume_v the_o branch_n thereof_o and_o 33._o 14._o where_o he_o say_v the_o sinner_n in_o zion_n be_v afraid_a fearfulness_n have_v surprise_v the_o hypocrite_n who_o among_o we_o shall_v dwell_v with_o devour_a fire_n which_o thew_n that_o there_o be_v sinner_n in_o zion_n and_o hypocrite_n in_o they_o that_o walk_v in_o outward_a order_n for_o he_o say_v who_o among_o we_o shall_v dwell_v in_o devour_a fire_n who_o among_o we_o shall_v dwell_v with_o everlasting_a burn_n he_o do_v not_o say_v he_o that_o go_v out_o of_o this_o zion_n in_o this_o or_o that_o order_n but_o he_o that_o walk_v upright_o and_o speak_v righteous_o
