Asserting and controverting the holinesse, righteousness, perfectnesse, and universallity thereof, of divine right: in opposition to the heathenish, and antichristian laws, traditions, and vaine imaginations of the past and present, pretended Christian magistrates of this nation which they yet so much dote upon and endeavour to support, against the alone law giver, lord of heaven and earth, god of gods, king of kings, and lord of lords. / Published by John Spittle-house, now a prisoner for his testimony against the idolatry and tryanny of the present army men, priests, lawyers &c ...

Progenitors with the same implacable enmity to the power of the Gospel And is there not a cry for all this How long Lord holy and true dost thou not avenge our blood on them that dwell in the earth Rev. 6. 10. Doth not Sion cry the violence done unto me and my children be upon Babylon and my blood upon those heavens of the Nations and will not the Lord avenge his elect that cry unto him day and night will he not do it speedily will he not call the fowls of Heaven to eat the flesh of Kings and Captains and great men of the Earth Rev. 19. 18. Will he not make the Heavens like the wood of the Vine c. and what of all this Doctour The time shall come to discover her slain and not the simplest Hereticks as they were counted shall have his blood 〈…〉 enged Neither shall any attonement he made for this blood or expiation be allowed whilest a Toe of the image or a Bone of the Beast is left unbroken Again p. 13. No kind of government in Europe or line of Governors so ancient but that the Beast is as old as they and had a great influence into their constitution or establishment to provide that it might be for his own interest where the Pope hath not expressely bargained for his own interest and provided that he should have the chief place in all the Oaths and bonds that were betwixt Prince and People either by pretended collation of Right to pacifie the Consciences of blood-thirsty Potentates in the undertaking and pursuing their unjust Conquests or foolish Mitred confirmations of sword purchases he hath got them framed to his own end and purpose which was to bring in all these Nations into subjection to his Babylonish usurpations Which those Kings finding no way inconsistent with their own designes did willingly promote labouring to enforce all Consciences into subjection to the Romish Sea Hence it is that such an interposition was made of the rights of Holy Church That is Babylon the Mother of Harlots in all the Types Oathes and Bonds between Prince and People and for the advancement of the righteous judgements of God That the sons of men may learn to fear and tremble before him And it may be observed that that which doth and shall stick upon Potentates to their ruine is not so much their own or any other interest as the dregs of that Papall Antichristian interest thrust into their Oathes and Obligations for no other end in the world but to keep the Lord Jesus out of his Throne And this is a reason why the Lord Jesus by his mighty power at the bringing in of his unmoveable Kingdom will shake the Heavens and Earth of the Nations Reas Even because in their present constitutions they are directly framed to the interest of Antichrist which by notable advantages at their first moulding and contrived insinuation ever since hath so rivited it self into the very fundamentals of them that no digging nor myneing with an earthquake will cast up the foundation stones thereof c. Because as is their Interest so is their Acting The present powers of the Nations stand in direct opposition to the bringing in of the Kingdome of Christ At which time saith the Doctor Two things there are that will be confessed incumbent on him in this day of his advancement 1. The bringing home of his antient people to be one fold with the fulnesse of the Gentiles raising up the Tabernacle of David and building it as in the dayes of old In the accomplishment of innumerable promises and answer to millions of prayers Doctor in this you and your brother yet hath not cut a thred but proceed Doctor Now there are two main hinderances of this work that must be removed the first whereof is 1. Real The great river Euphrates the strength and fulnesse of those streams do yet rage so high that there is no passage for the Kings of the East to come over wherefore this must also be dryed up as other waters were for their forefathers of old Rev. 16. 12. and doubtlesse this is spoken in allusion to Abrahams going over that River into Canaan when the Church of God in his family was there to be erected whence he was called the Hebrew that is the Passenger i. e. over that River Gen. 14. 13. And then it may well enough denote the Turkish power which proud as it is at this day possessing in peace all those Regions of the East yet God can quickly make it wither and be dryed up Or to the deliverance of the Jews in Babylon when it was taken and destroyed by the drying up of the streams of that river and so the yoke of her tyranny broken from the Churches neck Jer. 51. 31. c. And so it can be no other but the power of the Romish Babylon supporting the Kings of the Nations Which must therefore be shaken and dryed up 2. Moral Or the Idolatry of the Gentile worshippers The Jews stick hard as yet at this That God should abolish any kinde of worship which himself instituted But that he should ever accept any falsworship which he had once strictly prohibited and no where to this day appointed To this they will never be reconciled Now such is all the invented idolatrous worship which the Kings of the earth have sucked in from the Cup of Fornications held out unto them in the hand and by the Authority of the Roman Whore This still they cleave close unto and will not hearken to the Angel preaching the everlasting Gospel that men should worship him who made the Heavens and the Earth and the Sea and the fountains of Water Rev. 13. 6 7. i. e. The God of Heaven in Jesus Christ according to his holy just and righteous laws statutes judgements and Ordinances as afore mentioned in opposition to all their Jeonolatry Artolatrys Hagiolatry Stanrolatry and Masse abomination This then must also be removed And because as it hath been said it is so rivited and cemented into and with all the Orbs of the Nations Heaven and Earth i. e. the politick or humane Frames of Government which they have made for * themselves and their interests they therefore must be shaken and brought to destruction before it can be effected The second thing he hath to accomplish is the Tremendous totall Destruction of the man of Sin and all his adherents that are not obedient to the Heavenly call Rev. 18. 4. c. Doct. Pray what is your meaning by the adherents of Babylon Resp Are not most Potentates tyed by Oath or other compact either to maintain the whole or some part of the old Tower under the name of Right of Holy Church Prelates and the like true Doctor they are Query It is clear then that you include all sorts of Governours and Governments to be adherents to the Papal power or mystery Babylon the great the Mother of Harlots and abomination of the the earth who support Prelacy

shake the Heaven and Earth of the Nations these are the things shaken in my Text. Query The heavens of the Nations what are they Resp Even the Political heighths and glory i. e. these Formes of Government which they meaning the Civil and Ecclesiasticall Magistrates whether under Pagan or Antichristian Babylon have set up for themselves not for Christ and their own Interest not Note for the Interest of Christ and his sanctified ones with the grandure and lustre of their Dominions The Nations Earth is the multitude of their people their strength and power whereby their Heavens and Political Heighths and Splendor of the Popular Multitude and Strength of the Nations of the earth that are to be shaken as in Rev. 12. 16. and 21. 13. where by an Earthquake great Babylon receives a fatall blow and Isa 51. 15 16. and 34. 4. All the Host of Heaven shall be dissolved and the Heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll and all the Hosts shall fall down as the leaf falleth from the Vine Now these dissolved and rolled Heavens are no other than the Powers and * Note Heighths of the popular Nations Their Government and Tyranny As both the foregoing and following verses do declare the Lords wrath saith the Prophet is upon the Nations and his fury upon their Armies he hath delivered them to the slaughter c. vid. Ezek. 3. 2. 7. You may take it saith this learned Rabby for a rule that in the denuntiation of the judgment of God throughout all the Prophets Heavens Sun Moon and Stars and the like acceptable beauties of the Heavens are taken for Governments Dominions in Pollitick States As in these Scriptures Isa 12 13 14 15. Jer. 15. 9 and 51. 25. Isa 13. 13. and 60. 20. Psal 68. 8. Joel 2. 10. Obad. 4. Mat. 24. 29. Luke 21. 25. Rev. 18. 12 13. and 11. 12. and 20. 11. and 6. 12 13 14 15. The wasting and destroying of the Pagan Roman State and the plagues and commotions of the people the dethroning of idol worship the destruction of persecuting Emperours and Captains with the transposition of Powers and Soveraignty from one sort to another is held under this Grandure of words being part of the shaking of Heaven and Earth in my Text vid. Euseb Eccles Hist Lib. 9. c. 8. 10. Lib. 8. cap. 17. de Vet. Constan lib. 1. cap. 50 51 52. Adde hereunto saith the Court Chaplain the promises of the restauration of Gods people into a glorious condition after all their sufferings How now Doctor take heed what you say for these words are petty Treason if your Masters come to hear thereof But I pray what is that Restauration and glorious state you here dream of for I will assure you the Court counts such expressions but dreams and phansies ●nd such a thing as will never be And therefore pray let us see what ground you have in scripture for such a restauration and glorious estate as you speak of Doct. It is perpetually in the Scriptures held out under the same terms meaning of Heaven and Earth and you have a plentifull demonstration of this point How Doctor is there such a plentifull demonstration in scripture of a restauration of Gods people into a glorious state and condition after all their sufferings Pray what scriptures are those they will be Novelists at Court for they can entertain no such Phansies therefore pray le ts have them Doct. See Isa 65. 17 Behold I creat new Heavens and a new Earth and the former shall not be remembred nor come into my mind Doct. how ever this is to you I am sure it is a new and strange doctrine at Court what man Must all the political government in the world with the grandure and lustre of them be so shaken and done away ●● that they shall not so much as be remembred nor come into the minde of God and his people Indeed Doctor you must preach this doctrine no more at Bethel for now it is the Kings Chappel I will assure you there is now treason in such Texts But certainly Doctor you judge this glorious government to be within us not visible in the world See v. 18. Be ye glad and rejoyce for ever in that which I create Reas For behold I create Jerusalem a rejoycing and her people a joy But Doct. the Court will tell you that this Jerusalem which God will so create is meant of Jerusalem within man and not of a Jerusalem without man or visible as that Jerusalem in which the Jews did inhabit in Canaan And therefore for our better understanding of this particular we will if you please take a view of the following expression of the Prophet which are these And I will rejoyce in Jerusalem and joy in my people and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her and the voice of crying There shall be no more thence an infant of daies nor an old man that hath not filled his dayes for the child shall die an hundred years old but the sinner that is an hundred years old shall be accursed what think you of these word● Doctor Is all this meant to be fulfilled within the people of God but if we have no more than this to say for the Fifth Monarchy without or under the Heavens Mr. Cardell one of the late Fifth Monarchists will tell us that all the four Monarchies three of which are past and dissolved viz. the Babylonish Meads and Persians with the Greatian Monarchy have been all within us and that the fourth Monarchy viz. the Roman Monarchy is now within us and is in like manner to bee dissolved within us And therefore it is far lesse to have Infants and Old men within us at one and the same time as before mentioned therefore we must yet proceed to the following verses and see if we finde any thing that the Quakers cannot so well digest as old men and children to live and die as aforesaid we shall therefore proceed to v. 21 22. c. where the Prophet saith They shall build houses and inhabit them they shall plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them Surely the Quakers hath divellish wide weasands if they swallow downe all these particulars as Houses and Vineyards with their builders and Planters but they do these things onely when they are in their Quaking fits But Sir this Text puts me in minde of your brother Doctors Master Thomas Goodwins Sermon upon Rev. 5. 9 10. where speaking of the glorious estate and condition that the people of God shall enjoy after all their sufferings citeth this very text to prove his Assertion i. e. That they shall enjoy a Kingdome upon earth for saith he they shall build houses and plant vineyards O to see how good wits will jump for he useth even your own words i. e. A glorious condition after all their sufferings and therefore Gentlemen seeing you are both convinced of this truth See if you can conquer the
