respecting God that dwells therein must receive or take until the times of the restitution which is the reparation or reformation of all things spoken by the holy Prophets Those times are the Gospel times and the last dayes wherein God is making good his Promise of the Blessing in Christ to all Nations in turning every man that receives him from Iniquity Acts 3. 26 So that now the last Adam or second Man is revealed from Heaven and known to be a quickening Spirit and the Lord FROM Heaven That whom was Jesus Christ the Heavenly Man whom Heaven received into Glory into a more hidden condition when the Earth had contemned and rejected him until those more glorious times of his Out-goings and Discoveries in the latter dayes for the gathering of Nations and Peoples and blessing them in turning them from their Iniquities And though those Times of Restitution are begun he who is the Restorer shall yet more fully and universally appear for the accomplishment of that his Work Q.

Is that Restitution of all things fulfilled or yet to come answer plainly Answ That Restitution of all things spoken by the Mouth of all God's Prophets is not wholly fulfilled But both the times thereof are begun and Jesus Christ is about and carrying on the work of restitution fore-told The Deliverer is come out of Zion and the Restorer of Paths to dwell in is come he is on his way And he will yet more fully and gloriously appear to fulfil the Promises spoken of him W. H. Obj. But belike they have a notion which in time they will speak out That Christ was Man before he was a Man i. e. which Penington saith heavenly Flesh Blood and Bones came down from Heaven and tabernacled in that Body That was the Man Christ that came into the Man Christ Answ Whether he has rightly cited Isaac Penington in all these words or no is some question What Book and Page of his they are to be found in he tells us not That I. P. in some Questions hath distinguished between that Flesh and Blood of Christ which came down from Heaven which is meat and drink indeed of an inward spiritual eternal nature and the Body Flesh or Vail that was prepared for him is true And what has our Adversary to say to this Does it thence follow that Christ was man before he was a man or that there are two man Christs one that came into the other what absurd Nonsense would this man brand us withal might not Christ the Son of God be the heavenly man the mediator before he took upon him the Body that was prepared for him which is not a being man before he was a man but before he was so invested or came into that Body Surely his saying A Body hast thou prepared me Heb. 10. 5. does not make him two man Christs THE END
