A CORDIAL-MEDIATOR for ACCORDANCE of BRETHREN THAT Are of different Judgments and wayes of Administration in things that concerne the Kingdome of God For repairing of the breach and restoring of the paths for many generations WHEREIN Is proposed the way and means not to inforce or compell to an outward dissembling hypocriticall uniformity which is all that can be inforced unto by humane authority but to induce and ingage to a Cordiall uniformity even of soule and spirit amongst all that are truly and really Christians and to bring them likewise into the same wayes and ministrations in the things of God For this is the Message that ye have heard from the Beginning that we should love one another Not as Cain who was of the Evill one and slew his Brother and wherefore slew he him because his own works were evill and his Brothers righteous 1 John 3.11 12. We are of God he that knoweth God heareth us he that is not of God heareth not us hereby know we the spirit of truth the spirit of errour 1 Joh. 4.6 If ye love me keep my Commandements Joh. 14 15 see also vers 16 17. He that is of God heareth Gods words Ye therefore hear them not because ye are not of God Joh. 8.47 Written by ELLIS BRADSHAW LONDON Printed and are to be sold by Lodowick Lloyd at the Castle in Cornhill also by Henry Crips at the end of Popes-head-Alley and by Thomas Brewster at the three Bibles in Pauls-Church-yard 1658. To his Highnesse Richard the now Lord Protector together with the Parliament of the Common-wealth of England Scotland and Ireland with the dominions thereunto belonging May it please your Highnesse together with the Honourable Parliament c. THere present you in the name of God of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ with a short Epitomie of that fiery law and that everlasting Gospell Deut. 33.2 and Rev. 14.6 which shall be preached to them that dwell on the earth and to every nation and kinred and tongue and people and that immediately upon the downfall of Babilon see vers 7 8 9 10 11 12. as by reading these 6 verses you may plainly see for after the Angell flying in the midst of Heaven having the everlasting Gospell c. The next that followed proclaimed Babilon is fallen is fallen c. And so the third Angell followeth threatning the Judgment and wrath that should certainly befall them that worshiped the Beast and his Image or receive his mark in their foreheads or on their hands see vers 9 10 11 12. And that all these things are the successe or effects or at lest part thereof upon the 7th Angell sounding of his Trumpet see Chap. 11.15 And that time shall be no longer till the mistery of God be finished but till the seventh Angell should sound his Trumpet see the Oath of the Angell Chap. 10 5 6 7. And this 14 Chapter being held forth to us as part of the effects upon the 7th Angells sounding as that by reading the Chapters is cleere and manifest I shall not need to make any further proof that Babilon shall fall upon the holding forth of the everlasting Gospel I mean when it is so preached and so received as the everlasting Gospell for such is the Gospell of Jesus Christ it is both a Gospell to wit glad-tidings and it is the Gospell the glad-tidings to wit the only glad-tidings that are everlasting to them that dwell on the earth and therefore shall be preached to every nation kinred and tongue and people Saying moreover fear God and give glory to him for the hour of his judgment is come and worship him which hath made heaven and earth and the sea and the fountaines of waters see Chap. 14.6 7. And this also is Gospell for it is glad-tidings when the hour of his Judgment is come and his advice is good to fear God c. And in regard he is said to say it with a loud voyce It is intimated that it should be more audibly spoken and more generally heard and received then it had been formerly and that by all nations kinreds tongues and peoples And it may not be unprofitable to consider that it is said and sworn by the Angell that in the dayes of the voyce of the 7th Angell when he shall begin to sound the mistery of God shall be finished as he hath declared to his servants the Prophets see Chap. 10.7 Not that all should be finished when he shall begin to sound for in that there is a beginning it implieth a continuance And it is said also that in the dayes of the voyce c. the mistery of God shall be finished Now how many dayes the voyce of this sounding shall continue it is not easily determined being only held forth in the plurall number without limitation But this is certain that when he shall begin his sounding shall continue till the mistery of God be finished Now see the first effects or what is fully concluded on and voted in the Church and by the four and twenty Elders when the 7th Angell begun to sound Chap. 11.15 16 17 18 19. And it evidently appeareth that the Kingdoms of this world shall certainly become the Kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ and he shall thenceforth reign for ever and ever For which there is thanks rendred by the holy Elders because he had taken to him his great power and had reigned and how the nations were angry c. see and read the verses for they doe concern us if we be christians indeed and not in shew only and that in these dayes and for our great comfort and incouragement in the wayes of God they are held forth to us For hath he not begun hath he not already taken to himselfe even his great power and hath reigned amongst us Hath he not given a bannor to them that fear him Psal 60.4 Hath he not begun and shall he not make an end 1 Sam. 3.12 Hath he not already whett his glittering sword and hath not his hand already taken hold of vengeance And shall he not fully recompence his adversaries and repay them that hate him see Deuter. 32.40 41 42 43. And hath he not owned this nation yea even this of England and that as first yea and also above others yea even any nation now under Heaven And that for his own cause sake though not for our worthinesse but for respect to his name the which through his grace was owned by us against his adversaries Yea and that by a strong hand and a stretched out arme many a time giving victory to a few against their double number and that to weake and despised ones against the strong and potent and that beyond our hopes and expectations or the fears of our adversaries and that by sea and land And why should we think that he will repent him for his choice of us before any nation now under heaven The Apostle telleth us his gifts and
