SECT. I.

THUS saith the Lord. smite with thine hand and with thy foot, and say, Alas for the evill abo­minations of the Land; Behold, an evill, an on­ly evill is come, it watcheth for thee: I will shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and I will judge thee according to thy wayes, and all thy abominations, for vio­lence is risen up among them into a Rod of wickedness; The day of vengeance is near, therefore let not the Buyer re­joyce, nor the Seller mourn, for wrath is upon all the mul­titude thereof; neither shall any (of them) strengthen them­selves in the iniquity of their life; for the Sword, Famine, and Pestilence shall devour them; all hands shall become feeble, [Page 2] horrour shall cover them, their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them, but it shall be given into the hands of the wicked for a spoil; their souls shall not be sa­tisfied, nor their bowels filled therewith, because it is the Stumbling-block of their iniquity: O that they were wise to understand this, that they would consider their latter end, and the thing that maketh for their peace; even the free administration of Justice, Judgement, and Mercy; but now it is hid from their eyes: Read Isa. 58. 3, [...], 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14. For the Land is full of bloo­dy crimes, and the City is full of violence; Destruction cometh, rumour upon rumour, the King shall mourn; and the Princes shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of all the people of the Land shall be troubled, yea they shall seek Peace, and there shal be none.

SECT. II.

How can it be quiet, seeing the Lord hath given it a arge, and hath set his Face against us for evill, and not for good; because there is no Justice, nor Mercy left in the Land? a deceived heart hath drawn them aside, and Cove­tousness (which is Idolatry) causeth them to sell the great and dreadfull Lord God (of Justice and Mercy) daily for the abominable price of Iniquity, in all their Courts of Op­pression, falsly by them called Courts of Justice.

SECT. III.

[...] 2 [...]. 26, 28. ANd because they are thus departed from the Lord, the Lord is also departed from them; and hath poured out the cup of his Fury, even the spirit of division upon them, and they shall drink and be moved, and be mad, be­cause of the Sword which he will send among them; for Is [...]. 1 [...]. 14.behold, the Lord ha [...]h mingled a perverse spirit in the [Page 3] midst of us; for thus saith the Lord, Lo, I bring (or brought) evill upon the City called by my Name (and gave it the 2 [...] 15. Psal. 4 8. Psal. 76. 2. Gen. 14. 18. Baruch 4. 30.name JERU-SALEM, and shall ye be unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished; for I will call for a sword upon all the Inhabitants of the earth; (saith the Lord) and will pu­nish the Host of the high ones, and of all the Kings of the earth; for, the Indignation of the Lord is upon all Nations, and his fury upon all their Armies.

SECT. IV.

All Kings shall fall and rise no more, le [...]. 13. 18. Ezek. 21. 25, 26. 2 E [...]dr. 15. 22. 27. ANd the Kings of the Iles, yea, all the Kings of the North farre and neer, one with another, shall drink the Wine of the wrath of God, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more: But the dregs of it, shall all the wic­ked of the world drink; for my hand and sword shall not spare them (saith the Lord) that shed Innocent▪ blood in the earth; for now are the Plagues upon the whole earth, and ye shall not be delivered: Is [...]. 28. 3. For the Crown of Pride, Op­pression, and Drunkenness, shall be troden under foot.

SECT. V.

Queen Mary came to King Charles out of France, with the King of Spain and King of France that love Ido­latry, which is aly. The Lawyers that rob the people of their Estates, Rights Liberties, and Lives. ANd the Kings Daughter of the South shall come to the King of the North (whose Tabernacle is between two Seas) that hath intelligence with them that forsake the holy Covenant, and do wickedly, and love a ly, (which is Idolatry) but she shall not retain the power of the Arm, nor stand on his side with them that brought her▪ and strengthned her in these times; neither shall he stand, nor his Arm, but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found: (Also the robbers of the people shall exalt themselves, but they shall fall) but out of the branch of her root, shall one stand up in his estate which shall come with an Army, and shall enter into the Fortress of the King of the North, and shall deal against them, and shall pr [...]vail, for the thing [Page 4] Ecc [...]es. 1. 9, 10. The things that have been acted on the Jews, shall be acted on the Gentils. Read Isal. 21. 5, 6, Isa. 49. 5, 6. Ioh. 17. 2, 5. Gen. 1, 1. Ioh. 1, 3. that hath been, is that which shall be; and that which hath been done, is that which shall be done, for there is no new thing under the Sun, and there is a time and purpose to e­very thing under the Heavens; for, is there any thing whereof it may be said, See this is n [...]w; for it hath been already of old time before us? and known unto God (or determined) are all his workes from (or in) the beginning; (Christ) in whom all things were created, and by whom all things were made.

SECT. VI.

FOr in the first two dayes (or age of the world) before the Law, NIMROD was the mighty hunter or warriour; and in the other two dayes (or age of the world) under the Law the Kings of Judah were the great hunters, or warriours, to the terrour of many Nations: So in these two last dayes of the world under the Gospel, have the Kings of England (or Gentils land of Canaan, f [...]owing with all good things) been the great hunters or warriours, to the terrour of many Nations farre and neer: And as Pa­l [...]stina was divided into two Kingdoms▪ and they at mor­tall warres for many yeares▪ so is this Iland divided into two Kingdomes, and have been at mortall wars together for many yeares.

SECT. VII.

ANd as Judah was brought under the Latine or Roman Yoke; So hath England been brought under the N [...]rman or French Yoke. And as the Kings of Judah were accounted Defenders of the Faith, and Law of Gods Truth; So are the Kings of England entituled, by the Popes and Bishops (yea accounted) Defenders of the Faith, and Gospel of Jesus Christ: Yet have most of them been great Idolaters and Persecutors of the Truth, and of all [Page 5] true Professors thereof, as well as the Kings of Israel.

And no marvel, for the Lord having shut up all in unbe­lief (or mis-belief) doth [...]ift all Nations with the Sive of Vanity, as he did his own People the Jews; putting the hook of Error into their chaws, causing them to err through and by the delusion of the Spirit of Error: For a further proof of this Truth, read Isa. 24. 5. Isa. 25. 7. and 30. 28. and 60. 2. Jer. 30. 23, 24. Mic. 5. 3.

SECT. VIII.

King Herod Idoliz'd. Acts 12 1, 2, 3. 21, 22. Dan. 11. 21, 22. 36, 37, 38. ANd as that Fox, King Herod by his Flattery, and for his cruel work of persecution against the Saints and Servants of Christ, was by the two High Priests, Elders, Doctors, Lawyers, Scribes, Pharisees, Sadduces, Libertines, and all the common People, Deified; crying out, it is the voice of God, and not of man: So Henry the eighth King of England, and his Successors, have been by their two Arch-Bishops, Bishops, Deans, Doctors, Ministers, Judges, Magi­strates, Lawyers, and all the common people, honoured with several Titles proper only to God alone; in attributing to them the several Titles of Most Sacred Majesty, Most High, Most Mighty, and Most Excellent Prince, in all Divine Titles attributed to Kings.their Prayers, in all their Petitions, and by all other their frequent Addresses to them. Which several Titles are truly and onely proper to the Prince of Peace, being the Most Excellent Ma [...]esty of God the Father, who only and alone is Most High, Most Mighty, Most Excellent, and Most Math. 19. 17. Sacred; yea, there is none good but one, and that is God. Lam. 5. 7. 1 King. 14. 22, 23.Behold, thus have our Fathers sinned, and are not; and we have (and still do▪) bear their iniquity, and delight in these their waies of Idolatry.

SECT. IX.

Mat. 23. 2, 3, 4. 8, 9, 10, 11. 1 Sam. 8. 2, 3. ANd as the Jews (through Covetousness) by Money purchased of the heathen Romans, the setting up of two high Priests, who also climed up (with the Pharisees) into Moses chair, which was the Seat of Justice (for Moses was a Princ [...] and Judge, and not a Priest.) So had England two Offices o [...] Mi­nister and Bi­shop bought for Money.Arch-Bishops, who by themselves, and their Ministers, and Agents, purchased with money the Priestly and Episcopal Offices, and did clime into, and possess the Seats of Justice for many yeers. And as the Jews imbraced the manners 2 Sam. 23. 2, 3.of the Latines (or Romans) to have their causes of contro­versie pleaded in Courts of Justice, by Heathens, stiled [...]cts 24. 2. 26. This Profession is of the Divel, and not of God. Common Prators, such as Tertullus was, who for a merce­nary Fee, accused Paul falsly; So have we a very great number of the like persons, called common Lawyers, or Praters.

And as the Jews then put Justice to sale for certain Fees and Rewards; So have we done ever since the Conquest, From William the Nor [...]an.for these five hundred and sixty yeers; whereby the Rich and Mighty have eaten up the Rights of the Poor and Needy, and murthering thousands of them in the several Goals and Prisons in this Kingdom.

Acts 6. 9. Acts 8. 1. And as those High Priests, Elders, Pharisces, Sadduees, Libertines, and Lawyers, for some forty yeers together per­secuted Luke 11. 34, 35.the Saints and Servants of Christ; stiling them Pestilent fellows, Raisers of Sedition and Sectaries, Here­tiques, or the Sect of Nazarites: So did our Arch-Bishops, Bishops, Deans, Ministers, Lawyers, and Magistrates, from time to time (and still do persecute) banished, imprisoned, pillored, whipt, hangd, and destroyed divers of the poor followers of Christ, and in like manner falsly styling them P [...]stilent fellows, Sectaries, Heretiques and raisers of sedi­tion; stiring up the common people against them; and thus I am. 4 13. 14.like those Priests in the Lamentation, they have (by the [Page 7] spirit of errour) been led and wandred like blind men, and By their works ye may know what spirit they are of. Ezek. 13. 18, 19, 20. Luke 11. 46, 47. Zach 13. 4, 5. 2 Esdras 15. 52, 53. Rev. 3. 1, 2. Isa. 5. 8, 11. 22, 23. have shed the blood of the just, and have polluted them­selves with the blood of the innocent, whereby they have discovered their own nakedness and shame; for the Lord had not thus proceeded against them in his jealousie, if they had not exalted the stroak of their hand, and slain his chosen people; wherefore the Lord hath also made them con­temptible among the people of the Land: for they have a Name that they live, and yet are dead: By oppressing him that reproveth, and making a man an offender for a word; Thus they add sin to sin.

SECT. X.

ANd because O Lord God of Hosts, all they that thus forsake thee the God of Justice and Mercy in thy pri­mary Attributes (Justice and Mercy) shall be written in the earth; Death shall swallow them: Therefore will I look unto thee, yea, I will wait for the God of my salvation, Psal. 119. 81.for he will hear me. Rejoyce not therefore against me O mine enemy, though I sit in Darkness, in the bands of cruel affliction, and shut up close in prison Seven yeers.; yet the Lord shall be a light unto me, and I will bear the indignation of the Psal. 37. 23, 24. 2 Thes. 1. 8. 10.Lord, Because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute Judgement for me upon all my Oppres­sors; for he will bring me forth in the light, and I shall be­hold Psal. 119. 78. 84, 85 87 92.his Righteousness and Glory at his Appearing, when he shall come to be glorified in his Saints and to be admired of all that believe; in that day, at the resurrection of the Luke 14. 14.

Which shall be according to the time and number of [Page 8] days, or yeers, answering the number of yeers from the Creation of this World, to the end of Noah's Flood, which was 1657. yeers; and thus answerably from the second Adam's work of Redemption, to the time of his coming in Glory, decked with eternal salvation and royal Majesty, shall be the like number of yeers, or days of time, 1657. Ma [...]th. 24.as doth plainly appear by Christ's own words in Mat. 24. where the Disciples ask him of the time when his coming in Glory should be, and also the Manner of his coming, and of the signes of the end of this world.

SECT. XI.

TO both which questions, he gives them a very full and satisfactory answer. 1. His Resolve for the time when, Mat. 24. 3. 27. 37, 38.followeth in these words; For as the days of Noah were, so shall the coming of the Son of man be. And then he tells them the very manner of his coming. and of the end and sudden destruction of this World, in these words; For as I uke 17. 34, 35, 36. Zac. 14. 6, 7. M [...]l. 4 1, 2. 2 Thes. 2. 1. in the days that were before the Flood, they were Eating, and Drinking, and Marrying, &c. So shall also the coming of the Son of Man be: Even as Lightning that cometh ont of the East, and shineth into the West, &c.

SECT. XII.

YEt of that natural day nor hour knoweth no man, no not the Angels (nor the Son) but the Father only; there­fore he chargeth all his Followers to pray, That their flight (or ga [...]hering together unto him out of all Countries) may not be on the Sabbath day▪ nor in the Winter season; for then shall be great tribulation: when the Lord shall send Mal. 3. 2.his Angels to gather together his Elect (not the Damned) from the four winds of Heaven, into the Land of Palestina: H [...]s. 6.

Christ shall fight for [...] Zion. Isa 31. 4. o. Rev. 12. 7. For the Lord shall come down▪ to fight for Mount Zion, and for the Hill thereof; for his fire shall be in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem; For the Lord will clense his Land, and throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat (or Elect) into his Barn (or Kingdom of Glory) but will burn up the Chaff (or wicked,) when he shall appear upon Mount Zion. Then shall two be in the field, the one shall be taken (or carried away by the Angels of Christ) and the other lef [...]; (to Destruction, or for the Destroyer) two shall be in a bed, the one shall be taken away, and the other lef [...]; (to Destruction) two shall be grinding at a Mill, the one shall be taken away, and the other left to Destruction; (or for the Destroyer.)

SECT. XIIII.

Christ is the Body and wee the Branches. THe Disciples then asked him, where all this should be? (or whither all these should be gathered together?) He answered, where the body is (or Christ shall appear thither wil the eagles or elect) be gathered together even to Mount Zion. For they shall ask the way to Zion, with their faces Ier. 50. 5. Zach. 8. 2 [...]. [Page 10] thitherward; saying, come let us joyn our selves unto the Lord in a perpetuall Covenant, that shall never be forget­ten: Ier 31. 1, 6, 7, 8▪ 12.and arise, let us goe up to Zion, unto the Lord out God, and say, O Lord save thy people, the Remnant of Israel.

Yea; many people and strong Nations shall come To the Lord of Hosts in Jerusalem. At the same time will the Lord be The God of all the Families of Israel, and they shall be his people. In Zion his dwelling place, the holy Moun­taine.

To whose excellency and incomprehensibleness of most glorious being, man's comprehensible and limited capa­city cannot attain or reach unto, no more then to pourtray a true shape to a voyce, to the winde, or to hold the Sea in his hand, for▪ no man hath ever heard the Fathers voyce at any time, nor never seen his shape; Therefore what person, shape, or voyce can the limited frail fancy or wit of man prescribe, devise, imagine, or attribute to this. most High, most Sacred, most Mighty, most Excellent, and most Incom­prehensible Unrevealed Deity, and primary Fountain and Cause of all Being, whom they never saw nor heard at any time?

So that it is very plain, and most true, that Christ Jesus onely and alone, (being the beloved) and (from all eterni­ty) the anointed visible God of Salvation, light and eternal glory) is the onely and alone true representative, capable, apprehensive, visible personal presence of the Invisible, Un­apprehensive and Incomprehensible Father (and holy Spi­rit of God) The beginning of the Creation of God (the Father.)

In that day shall the branch of the Lord (Israel and Iudah) and all the saints, be beautiful and Glorious; for I Iohn 15. 15.am the vine (saith the Lord) and ye are the branches, and the fruit of the earth shall (then) be excellent; for I say Zach. 3. 10.

Then shall it be said to the Israel of God (by the Angels of Christ that shal be sent forth to gather them together) Arise, for the light is come, and the Glory of the Lord is [Page 28] Isa. 601. 13, 14, 15, 16, 19. risen upon thee, the sons of them (the wicked) that afflicted thee shal come bending, and bow themselves down to the soals of thy feet (even as Joseph's Brethren did to Joseph) for thou shal suck the milk of the Gentiles, and the brests of Kings; then shalt thou know that I the Lord am thy Saviour, the mighty one of Jacob.

The People that will not serve Israel shall pe­rish. For the Nation and Kingdom that wil not serve thee shal perish, and shall be utterly wasted, but the Lord shal be unto thee (O Israel) an everlasting light, and thy God, thy Glory, the people also shall be all Righteous, they shall Inherit the land for ever.

For thy maker (Christ Jesu [...] the God of salvation, light, Isa. 54. 5.and glory) is thy Husband, and thy Redeemer, the Lord of hostes is his Name. The God of the whole Earth shal he Iohn 1. 51. Gen. 28. 12, 13, 1 [...], 17.be called; then shal wee see heaven open, and the Angels of God ascending and descending, as Iacob did: who in a vision was shewed the glory of it, and by the spirit of truth was forced to confess that the place was none other then the Gate of heaven, the house of God, and that the Lord is in that Place.
