from_o hence_o which_o manifest_o contradict_v the_o chiliast_n or_o millenaries_n opinion_n for_o if_o christ_n as_o they_o say_v will_v govern_v at_o that_o time_n as_o earthly_a monarch_n do_v in_o a_o worldly_a visible_a and_o earthly_a glory_n how_o be_v his_o kingdom_n not_o of_o this_o world_n moreover_o if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o kingdom_n give_v to_o our_o saviour_n we_o shall_v have_v hear_v in_o the_o scripture_n of_o a_o three_o personal_a come_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o we_o do_v not_o for_o the_o scripture_n make_v only_o mention_v of_o two_o personal_a come_n of_o our_o

second_o his_o come_n in_o majesty_n and_o glory_n to_o give_v judgement_n to_o the_o quick_a and_o dead_a after_o their_o resurrection_n and_o we_o confess_v in_o our_o creed_n that_o from_o thence_o that_o be_v heaven_n where_o christ_n now_o be_v he_o shall_v come_v to_o judge_v the_o quick_a and_o the_o dead_a which_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o athanasian_n and_o nicene_n creed_n to_o which_o we_o must_v keep_v close_o as_o be_v the_o say_v which_o be_v once_o deliver_v to_o the_o saint_n and_o if_o some_o millenaries_n will_v not_o understand_v that_o monarchical_a kingdom_n of_o our_o

with_o we_o and_o they_o reign_v with_o he_o for_o as_o our_o text_n say_v and_o they_o live_v and_o reign_v with_o christ_n but_o further_a that_o monarchical_a kingdom_n of_o christ_n can_v stand_v without_o two_o general_a corporal_a resurrection_n the_o one_o of_o those_o saint_n which_o be_v dead_a before_o that_o personal_a come_n of_o christ_n at_o which_o he_o shall_v take_v the_o

as_o you_o may_v see_v job_n 19.25_o where_o it_o be_v say_v by_o that_o most_o patient_a patriarch_n i_o know_v that_o my_o redeemer_n live_v and_o that_o he_o shall_v stand_v at_o the_o latter_a

and_o so_o in_o our_o creed_n we_o confess_v the_o resurrection_n and_o not_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o that_o will_v not_o serve_v the_o millinary_n to_o say_v that_o in_o our_o chapter_n in_o the_o 5._o ver_fw-la it_o appear_v clear_o that_o there_o be_v two_o general_a resurrection_n of_o the_o flesh_n when_o we_o hear_v of_o a_o first_o resurrection_n which_o insinuate_v a_o second_o one_o for_o that_o first_o resurrection_n which_o be_v mention_v there_o be_v the_o resurrection_n not_o of_o the_o body_n but_o of_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o death_n of_o sin_n to_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n as_o s._n aust_n do_v well_o observe_v i_o know_v that_o some_o take_v that_o first_o resurrection_n for_o the_o glorious_a happiness_n of_o the_o soul_n by_o which_o she_o

soul_n only_o shall_v live_v with_o he_o eternal_o in_o regard_n of_o both_o body_n and_o soul_n in_o the_o celestial_a jerusalem_n but_o although_o this_o explication_n be_v true_a in_o itself_o yet_o you_o must_v observe_v that_o it_o be_v not_o proper_a in_o this_o place_n of_o scripture_n which_o consider_v the_o wicked_a and_o godly_a man_n not_o as_o depart_v from_o this_o world_n but_o as_o live_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o so_o s._n john_n consider_v the_o wicked_a as_o dead_a in_o their_o sin_n and_o have_v part_n in_o the_o first_o spiritual_a death_n and_o the_o godly_a man_n as_o live_v by_o grace_n and_o have_v part_n in_o the_o first_o spiritual_a resurrection_n i_o can_v raise_v many_o more_o argument_n against_o the_o doctrine_n which_o the_o millenaries_n hold_v
