reign_n on_o the_o earth_n this_o you_o have_v in_o 2_o thess_n 2.9_o now_o we_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n by_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o by_o our_o gather_v together_o unto_o he_o so_o that_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o our_o gather_v together_o to_o be_v judge_v by_o christ_n they_o be_v both_o couple_v together_o because_o when_o the_o lord_n come_v be_v then_o be_v our_o gather_a time_n mat._n 25.31.32_o when_o the_o son_n of_o man_n shall_v come_v in_o his_o glory_n and_o all_o the_o holy_a angel_n with_o he_o then_o shall_v he_o sit_v upon_o the_o throne_n of_o his_o glory_n and_o before_o he_o shall_v be_v gather_v all_o nation_n and_o he_o shall_v separate_v they_o one_o from_o another_o as_o a_o shepherd_n divide_v his_o sheep_n from_o the_o goat_n and_o in_o 2_o tim._n 4.1_o i_o charge_v thou_o therefore_o before_o god_n and_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o shall_v judge_v the_o quick_a and_o the_o dead_a at_o his_o appear_v and_o his_o kingdom_n the_o scripture_n tell_v you_o that_o when_o christ_n appear_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n he_o shall_v have_v this_o concomitant_a of_o his_o come_n he_o shall_v gather_v all_o together_o to_o judge_v both_o the_o good_a and_o the_o bad._n those_o that_o pretend_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 they_o can_v prove_v that_o then_o all_o shall_v be_v gather_v together_o they_o only_o plead_v for_o the_o martyr_n and_o none_o else_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v refer_v to_o his_o come_n to_o reign_v a_o thousand_o year_n three_o when_o christ_n come_v than_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n be_v a_o period_n be_v put_v to_o this_o world_n 1_o cor._n 15.24_o then_o come_v the_o end_n when_o he_o shall_v have_v deliver_v up_o the_o kingdom_n to_o god_n even_o the_o father_n etc._n etc._n so_o when_o christ_n come_v then_o come_v the_o end_n now_o those_o who_o hold_v for_o christ_n personal_a reign_n they_o hold_v that_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n shall_v not_o be_v till_o a_o thousand_o year_n after_o because_o christ_n must_v reign_v a_o thousand_o year_n four_o the_o resurrection_n both_o of_o the_o just_a and_o unjust_a be_v a_o concomitant_a of_o christ_n come_n 1_o cor._n 15.23_o but_o every_o man_n in_o his_o own_o order_n christ_n the_o first_o fruit_n afterward_o they_o that_o be_v christ_n at_o his_o come_n so_o that_o at_o christ_n come_v the_o general_a resurrection_n of_o the_o just_a and_o unjust_a be_v to_o be_v last_o there_o be_v to_o be_v the_o salvation_n of_o the_o soul_n of_o all_o the_o elect_n that_o be_v a_o five_o concomitant_a of_o christ_n come_n heb._n 9.28_o so_o christ_n be_v once_o offer_v to_o bear_v the_o sin_n of_o many_o and_o unto_o they_o that_o look_v for_o he_o shall_v he_o appear_v the_o second_o time_n without_o sin_n unto_o salvation_n this_o can_v be_v refer_v to_o christ_n person_n come_v upon_o the_o earth_n because_o he_o do_v not_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

a_o worse_a condition_n than_o he_o find_v it_o if_o christ_n must_v come_v on_o the_o earth_n he_o must_v leave_v his_o church_n in_o a_o worse_a condition_n than_o he_o find_v it_o and_o i_o draw_v it_o from_o that_o text_n which_o they_o pretend_v to_o be_v the_o strength_n of_o their_o argument_n revel_v 20.5.7.8_o but_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o dead_a live_v not_o again_o until_o the_o thousand_o year_n be_v finish_v this_o be_v the_o first_o resurrection_n and_o when_o the_o thousand_o year_n be_v expire_v satan_n shall_v be_v loose_v out_o of_o his_o prison_n and_o shall_v go_v out_o to_o deceive_v the_o nation_n which_o be_v in_o the_o four_o quarter_n of_o the_o earth_n gog_n and_o magog_n to_o gather_v they_o together_o to_o battle_n the_o number_n of_o who_o be_v as_o the_o sand_n of_o the_o sea_n so_o that_o after_o the_o thousand_o year_n the_o devil_n shall_v be_v let_v loose_a again_o and_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o innumerable_a company_n of_o enemy_n and_o they_o shall_v destroy_v multitude_n of_o the_o godly_a therefore_o christ_n will_v leave_v his_o church_n in_o a_o worse_a condition_n than_o he_o find_v they_o if_o this_o be_v true_a that_o christ_n shall_v reign_v a_o thousand_o year_n upon_o the_o earth_n five_o if_o christ_n shall_v come_v to_o reign_v a_o thousand_o year_n upon_o the_o earth_n than_o this_o incongruity_n will_v follow_v that_o there_o must_v be_v three_o personal_a come_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o his_o first_o come_n be_v in_o the_o incarnation_n second_o come_v to_o these_o thousand_o year_n and_o his_o three_o come_v must_v be_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n that_o be_v the_o last_o come_n but_o the_o scripture_n make_v but_o two_o come_n of_o christ_n first_o his_o come_n from_o heaven_n when_o he_o be_v bear_v his_o second_o come_v when_o he_o come_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n again_o six_o if_o christ_n come_v personal_o out_o of_o heaven_n this_o incongruity_n will_v follow_v that_o either_o the_o saint_n and_o angel_n must_v come_v or_o not_o come_v with_o christ_n if_o they_o must_v come_v with_o christ_n than_o it_o be_v a_o loss_n to_o they_o for_o they_o to_o come_v to_o leave_v the_o immediate_a presence_n of_o god_n and_o come_v upon_o the_o earth_n where_o wicked_a man_n shall_v be_v among_o they_o or_o if_o they_o must_v not_o come_v with_o jesus_n christ_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o lose_v to_o they_o to_o remain_v there_o they_o shall_v lose_v for_o a_o thousand_o year_n the_o body_n of_o christ_n if_o christ_n be_v on_o the_o earth_n he_o can_v be_v in_o heaven_n the_o

to_o have_v the_o person_n of_o jesus_n christ_n with_o they_o a_o seven_o incongruity_n will_v follow_v that_o if_o christ_n shall_v come_v to_o reign_v upon_o the_o earth_n than_o christ_n kingdom_n must_v be_v a_o worldly_a &_o terrene_a kingdom_n than_o it_o will_v be_v against_o the_o word_n of_o god_n he_o must_v be_v a_o visible_a king_n to_o the_o jew_n and_o a_o visible_a king_n to_o all_o the_o world_n beside_o this_o will_v follow_v then_o that_o christ_n kingdom_n must_v not_o be_v a_o spiritual_a kingdom_n but_o a_o terrene_a a_o worldly_a pompous_a kingdom_n john_n 18.36_o jesus_n answer_v my_o kingdom_n be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n if_o my_o kingdom_n be_v of_o this_o world_n then_o will_v my_o servant_n fight_v that_o i_o shall_v not_o be_v deliver_v to_o the_o jew_n but_o

that_o if_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v come_v to_o take_v a_o kingdom_n on_o the_o earth_n for_o a_o thousand_o year_n than_o this_o incongruity_n will_v follow_v as_o if_o jesus_n christ_n have_v not_o a_o kingdom_n and_o be_v not_o a_o king_n all_o this_o while_n he_o be_v in_o heaven_n they_o apply_v that_o that_o place_n in_o daniel_n and_o all_o those_o phrase_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n be_v become_v the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o lord_n they_o deny_v that_o christ_n be_v a_o king_n in_o heaven_n when_o he_o be_v in_o the_o cratch_n and_o bear_v in_o the_o stable_a he_o be_v a_o king_n at_o that_o very_a hour_n psalm_n 2._o the_o apostle_n refer_v it_o to_o christ_n birth_n and_o christ_n resurrection_n christ_n when_o he_o arise_v from_o

from_o this_o text_n which_o be_v the_o chief_a in_o the_o scripture_n they_o seem_v to_o build_v these_o two_o thing_n upon_o first_o that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v live_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o

i_o shall_v handle_v this_o practical_a question_n before_o i_o can_v come_v to_o handle_v the_o doctrine_n quest_n the_o question_n be_v this_o that_o see_v jesus_n christ_n do_v only_o promise_v that_o he_o will_v receive_v the_o elect_a unto_o himself_o at_o his_o come_n again_o then_o this_o question_n will_v be_v start_v than_o what_o become_v of_o all_o the_o godly_a immediate_o after_o death_n before_o christ_n come_n again_o to_o judgement_n therefore_o those_o that_o hold_v for_o the_o sleep_a of_o the_o soul_n they_o on_o this_o text_n do_v ground_n that_o there_o be_v no_o receive_n neither_o one_o or_o other_o the_o one_o to_o life_n the_o other_o to_o death_n the_o wicked_a be_v not_o torment_v then_o nor_o the_o godly_a glorify_v till_o then_o therefore_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o see_v christ_n do_v here_o speak_v of_o receive_v they_o unto_o himself_o not_o till_o his_o come_n than_o what_o become_v of_o the_o soul_n of_o dead_a man_n before_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n ans_fw-fr before_o i_o give_v you_o the_o answer_n take_v this_o distinction_n there_o be_v a_o twofold_a receive_n first_o there_o be_v a_o partial_a and_o incomplete_a receive_n and_o this_o be_v do_v immediate_o after_o death_n that_o when_o the_o soul_n do_v depart_v from_o the_o body_n the_o soul_n be_v receive_v by_o jesus_n christ_n in_o heaven_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o those_o speech_n in_o act_n 7._o there_o be_v a_o receive_v they_o before_o christ_n come_n and_o this_o be_v call_v a_o partial_a and_o incomplete_a reception_n it_o be_v only_o a_o receive_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o not_o of_o the_o body_n second_o there_o be_v a_o total_a and_o complete_a reception_n both_o of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o soul_n into_o glory_n and_o it_o be_v this_o that_o the_o text_n here_o speak_v of_o though_o it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v not_o a_o total_a reception_n of_o a_o believer_n till_o christ_n come_v to_o judgement_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o partial_a reception_n i_o do_v not_o speak_v to_o those_o that_o say_v the_o soul_n be_v mortal_a and_o that_o it_o shall_v never_o live_v but_o to_o those_o that_o say_v the_o soul_n shall_v sleep_v and_o the_o soul_n do_v perish_v with_o the_o body_n until_o the_o resurrection_n now_o against_o these_o that_o plead_v for_o the_o sleep_a of_o the_o soul_n till_o christ_n come_n again_o take_v these_o four_o way_n how_o to_o strengthen_v you_o in_o this_o first_o there_o be_v pregnant_a instance_n in_o scripture_n that_o after_o the_o godly_a die_n their_o soul_n be_v receive_v into_o heaven_n before_o christ_n come_v second_o there_o be_v general_a expression_n in_o the_o scripture_n as_o well_o as_o particular_a instance_n to_o prove_v this_o three_o there_o be_v express_a passage_n in_o the_o scripture_n to_o confirm_v this_o four_o there_o be_v absurd_a inconsequence_n that_o will_v arise_v in_o case_n it_o shall_v be_v deny_v first_o there_o be_v pregnant_a instance_n or_o example_n in_o the_o scripture_n to_o prove_v that_o after_o death_n the_o soul_n be_v receive_v into_o heaven_n take_v three_o instance_n first_o that_o know_v text_n luke_n 23.43_o and_o jesus_n say_v unto_o he_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o thou_o to_o day_n thou_o shall_v be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n that_o day_n christ_n die_v that_o day_n christ_n go_v to_o heaven_n therefore_o that_o day_n the_o soul_n of_o that_o convert_a thief_n must_v go_v to_o heaven_n now_o belove_v there_o be_v two_o evasion_n that_o those_o who_o plead_v for_o the_o soul_n cessation_n for_o the_o soul_n sleep_v that_o they_o make_v to_o avoid_v this_o text_n and_o take_v off_o this_o instance_n first_o be_v by_o alter_v the_o comma_n or_o stop_v in_o the_o text_n and_o read_v it_o thus_o i_o say_v unto_o thou_o this_o day_n thou_o shall_v be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n that_o to_o day_n they_o do_v not_o refer_v it_o that_o the_o thief_n shall_v be_v in_o paradise_n peter_n martyr_n do_v give_v two_o answer_n to_o this_o evasion_n first_o say_v he_o it_o be_v not_o safe_a to_o alter_v a_o comma_n or_o stop_v in_o scripture_n for_o so_o you_o may_v pervert_v the_o

it_o appear_v this_o can_v be_v the_o sense_n of_o it_o to_o refer_v to_o day_n to_o the_o time_n that_o christ_n speak_v and_o not_o to_o the_o time_n that_o the_o thief_n shall_v be_v in_o heaven_n for_o say_v gerrard_n mark_v the_o thief_n prayer_n in_o ver_fw-la 42._o and_o be_v say_v unto_o jesus_n lord_n remember_v i_o when_o thou_o come_v into_o thy_o kingdom_n mark_v there_o be_v the_o

to_o his_o prayer_n christ_n to_o day_n must_v answer_v the_o thief_n when_v that_o when_o christ_n come_v to_o heaven_n there_o to_o remember_v the_o thief_n and_o jesus_n say_v unto_o he_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o thou_o to_o day_n shall_v thou_o be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n three_o this_o day_n it_o be_v needless_a for_o christ_n to_o say_v to_o day_n to_o tell_v he_o the_o time_n when_o he_o speak_v he_o know_v christ_n speak_v to_o he_o then_o but_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o time_n when_o the_o thief_n shall_v be_v in_o heaven_n i_o say_v to_o thou_o this_o day_n thou_o shall_v be_v with_o i_o in_o heaven_n the_o second_o evasion_n be_v this_o it_o be_v true_a christ_n promise_v thou_o shall_v be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n but_o christ_n do_v not_o say_v thou_o shall_v be_v with_o i_o in_o heaven_n but_o with_o i_o in_o paradise_n there_o be_v three_o answer_n to_o give_v you_o to_o this_o evasion_n first_o that_o those_o that_o will_v not_o by_o paradise_n understand_v heaven_n by_o this_o text_n they_o then_o fall_v in_o with_o the_o papist_n either_o for_o purgatory_n or_o a_o limbus_n patrum_fw-la second_o take_v this_o answer_n that_o in_o other_o scripture_n when_o paradise_n be_v mention_v it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v heaven_n and_o so_o the_o apostle_n do_v expound_v it_o 2_o cor._n 12.2.4_o i_o know_v a_o man_n in_o christ_n above_o fourteen_o

therefore_o of_o necessity_n when_o christ_n tell_v the_o thief_n to_o day_n shall_v thou_o be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n it_o must_v refer_v to_o the_o thief_n go_v to_o heaven_n at_o that_o day_n

second_o you_o may_v learn_v somewhat_o from_o the_o place_n whence_o christ_n do_v ascend_v it_o be_v very_o observable_a it_o be_v mount_n olivet_n act_v 1.12_o then_o return_v they_o unto_o

afford_v christ_n no_o corner_n in_o thy_o heart_n thou_o let_v thy_o lust_n sit_v on_o the_o throne_n of_o thy_o heart_n yet_o not_o give_v christ_n any_o room_n there_o we_o read_v in_o revel_n

origen_n have_v a_o good_a passage_n on_o luke_n 22.12_o and_o he_o shall_v show_v you_o a_o large_a upper_a room_n furnish_v there_o make_v ready_a though_o he_o do_v much_o abuse_n the_o scope_n of_o the_o scripture_n there_o be_v three_o property_n of_o the_o room_n wherein_o christ_n be_v the_o passover_n a_o large_a upper_z and_o a_o furnish_v room_n he_o make_v this_o allegory_n of_o it_o i_o do_v not_o give_v it_o to_o you_o as_o the_o sense_n of_o it_o but_o take_v his_o gloss_n that_o if_o thou_o will_v come_v to_o sup_v with_o christ_n thou_o must_v make_v thy_o heart_n as_o the_o

the_o elect_n than_o we_o be_v rather_o gainer_n than_o loser_n by_o the_o want_n of_o christ_n bodily_a presence_n we_o shall_v be_v less_o happy_a to_o have_v christ_n upon_o the_o earth_n than_o now_o christ_n be_v in_o heaven_n for_o we_o be_v great_a gainer_n by_o christ_n now_o be_v in_o heaven_n then_o if_o he_o be_v in_o person_n with_o we_o upon_o the_o earth_n divine_n illustrate_v
