when_o he_o be_v to_o leave_v the_o world_n i_o gather_v thence_o that_o when_o you_o be_v draw_v towards_o your_o end_n and_o depart_v out_o of_o the_o world_n labour_v to_o have_v your_o friend_n about_o you_o that_o you_o may_v give_v they_o the_o advice_n of_o a_o die_a friend_n and_o it_o be_v a_o great_a blessing_n for_o to_o die_v among_o your_o friend_n christ_n before_o that_o he_o

upon_o earth_n the_o use_n that_o i_o shall_v draw_v it_o shall_v be_v to_o deduce_v four_o doctrinal_a and_o four_o practical_a inference_n from_o this_o point_n first_o this_o point_n it_o confute_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o selucians_n and_o herliani_n that_o hold_v that_o christ_n body_n be_v not_o in_o heaven_n but_o that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o beautiful_a and_o splendent_a body_n of_o the_o

among_o we_o and_o i_o have_v see_v it_o in_o a_o book_n call_v divine_a light_n when_o indeed_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o darkness_n but_o christ_n be_v above_o the_o sun_n christ_n be_v above_o all_o the_o visible_a heaven_n christ_n sit_v in_o the_o three_o heaven_n as_o paul_n call_v it_o therefore_o if_o christ_n body_n be_v go_v into_o heaven_n they_o be_v in_o a_o error_n second_o this_o point_n will_v confute_v those_o who_o hold_v that_o christ_n body_n have_v be_v on_o earth_n since_o his_o ascension_n into_o heaven_n some_o in_o germany_n hold_v that_o they_o be_v the_o very_a christ_n and_o thus_o in_o king_n henry_n the_o eight_o day_n there_o be_v one_o hold_v that_o he_o be_v the_o christ_n and_o his_o side_n be_v pierce_v and_o there_o be_v nail_n see_v in_o

ascension_n three_o that_o christ_n body_n be_v now_o in_o heaven_n it_o overthrow_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o popish_a religion_n touch_v transubstantiation_n or_o the_o real_a presence_n that_o

time_n than_o the_o soul_n of_o godly_a man_n must_v be_v in_o heaven_n before_o christ_n time_n that_o must_v clear_o follow_v by_o the_o rule_n of_o contrary_a now_o that_o wicked_a man_n go_v to_o

why_o they_o shall_v go_v to_o heaven_n after_o christ_n ascension_n because_o believer_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n they_o have_v the_o same_o gospel_n preach_v to_o they_o as_o now_o we_o

come_v then_o to_o save_v the_o soul_n of_o all_o the_o elect_n that_o be_v the_o first_o reason_n why_o christ_n can_v come_v to_o reign_v upon_o the_o earth_n that_o when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o christ_n come_v out_o of_o heaven_n the_o scripture_n do_v annex_v five_o concomitant_n with_o it_o that_o it_o can_v be_v true_a of_o christ_n come_v upon_o the_o earth_n but_o to_o come_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n a_o second_o reason_n be_v this_o that_o christ_n can_v come_v to_o reign_v upon_o the_o earth_n because_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o it_o will_v be_v worse_o for_o christ_n and_o it_o will_v be_v worse_o for_o we_o then_o now_o it_o be_v it_o will_v be_v worse_o for_o christ_n for_o to_o leave_v heaven_n and_o come_v to_o the_o earth_n for_o christ_n to_o leave_v saint_n and_o angel_n and_o heaven_n for_o to_o live_v among_o the_o wicked_a and_o the_o good_a for_o they_o themselves_o confess_v that_o wicked_a man_n shall_v live_v upon_o the_o earth_n then_o then_o beside_o they_o fancy_v earthly_a delight_n that_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o vineyard_n shall_v not_o fade_v as_o now_o it_o do_v why_o they_o will_v lessen_v christ_n glory_n because_o he_o sit_v this_o day_n at_o his_o father_n right_a hand_n for_o to_o fancy_v this_o that_o christ_n must_v come_v to_o reign_v upon_o the_o earth_n it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a loss_n to_o all_o the_o elect_n for_o we_o have_v the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n everlasting_a intercession_n and_o be_v christ_n upon_o the_o earth_n we_o shall_v lose_v that_o benefit_n heb._n 8.4_o for_o if_o he_o be_v on_o the_o earth_n he_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o priest_n see_v that_o there_o be_v priest_n that_o offer_v gift_n according_a to_o the_o law_n therefore_o i_o do_v wonder_n what_o they_o will_v do_v that_o pretend_v great_a glory_n to_o christ_n to_o reign_v on_o the_o earth_n so_o that_o if_o he_o be_v upon_o the_o earth_n we_o shall_v lose_v the_o benefit_n of_o his_o priesthood_n therefore_o it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a wrong_n to_o we_o to_o have_v christ_n here_o on_o the_o earth_n because_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o priestly_a office_n will_v not_o be_v so_o available_a to_o we_o as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n thus_o i_o have_v lay_v down_o scripture_n and_o give_v you_o reason_n why_o christ_n can_v come_v before_o his_o last_o come_n now_o there_o be_v eight_o incongruity_n and_o absurdity_n that_o will_v follow_v in_o case_n you_o shall_v grant_v that_o christ_n shall_v come_v to_o reign_v a_o thousand_o year_n upon_o the_o earth_n first_o by_o those_o man_n principle_n this_o inconvenience_n will_v follow_v that_o people_n may_v exact_o know_v the_o punctual_a time_n of_o christ_n last_o come_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n for_o those_o who_o hold_v christ_n personal_a reign_n they_o do_v as_o well_o hold_v the_o time_n as_o the_o thing_n they_o do_v as_o well_o maintain_v when_o this_o reign_n shall_v begin_v therefore_o some_o have_v maintain_v that_o christ_n shall_v come_v to_o reign_v on_o the_o earth_n in_o the_o year_n 1650._o one_o say_v if_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v in_o the_o year_n 1650_o it_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o year_n 1694._o they_o that_o go_v further_a give_v at_o that_o time_n if_o so_o be_v they_o hold_v the_o thing_n and_o maintain_v the_o time_n when_o it_o shall_v begin_v then_o of_o necessity_n we_o must_v know_v exact_o when_o the_o day_n shall_v be_v that_o christ_n shall_v come_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n for_o they_o grant_v it_o shall_v be_v immediate_o after_o the_o thousand_o year_n now_o belove_v that_o opinion_n that_o carry_v this_o absurdity_n to_o know_v the_o day_n of_o christ_n come_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n which_o christ_n say_v none_o in_o the_o world_n can_v tell_v of_o that_o hour_n and_o day_n know_v not_o man_n mark_n 13.32_o but_o of_o that_o day_n and_o hour_n know_v no_o man_n no_o not_o the_o angel_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n neither_o the_o son_n but_o the_o father_n therefore_o it_o can_v possible_o be_v that_o christ_n must_v come_v on_o the_o earth_n therefore_o those_o that_o live_v at_o least_o to_o see_v christ_n come_v from_o heaven_n they_o can_v tell_v to_o a_o day_n when_o christ_n shall_v come_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n a_o second_o incongruity_n which_o will_v follow_v be_v this_o if_o this_o shall_v be_v grant_v that_o christ_n shall_v reign_v on_o the_o earth_n a_o thousand_o year_n before_o his_o great_a and_o last_o come_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o christ_n shall_v almost_o be_v as_o long_o a_o time_n on_o the_o earth_n as_o in_o heaven_n christ_n die_v in_o the_o 33_o year_n of_o his_o age_n and_o have_v be_v 1619_o year_n in_o heaven_n and_o he_o must_v be_v a_o thousand_o year_n upon_o the_o earth_n that_o be_v very_o improbable_a this_o incongruity_n will_v follow_v that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a disadvantage_n to_o christ_n for_o christ_n to_o come_v in_o person_n a_o thousand_o year_n on_o the_o earth_n he_o must_v leave_v his_o father_n and_o leave_v his_o heaven_n and_o come_v and_o only_o possess_v earth_n now_o christ_n have_v more_o happiness_n in_o the_o immediate_a enjoyment_n of_o his_o father_n in_o heaven_n than_o he_o can_v have_v here_o upon_o the_o earth_n then_o it_o will_v be_v a_o loss_n to_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v lose_v the_o benefit_n of_o his_o priestly_a office_n but_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o righteousness_n be_v in_o heaven_n be_v more_o waileable_a to_o believer_n then_o if_o he_o be_v upon_o the_o earth_n four_o observe_v this_o that_o if_o christ_n shall_v come_v on_o the_o earth_n for_o a_o thousand_o year_n than_o christ_n will_v leave_v the_o church_n after_o that_o thousand_o year_n for_o a_o while_n in_o

when_o they_o die_v therefore_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n gather_v from_o this_o text_n that_o before_o christ_n go_v to_o heaven_n there_o be_v none_o go_v into_o heaven_n but_o all_o go_v into_o

in_o these_o three_o regard_n that_o christ_n by_o go_v into_o heaven_n prepare_v a_o place_n there_o first_o by_o way_n of_o representation_n christ_n be_v not_o go_v to_o heaven_n as_o every_o man_n
