In chap. 6 is shewed How that for the Sins of the Churches who began to revolt from the Faith once given to the Saints which they were commanded to a contend for but neglecting their b Watch herein Hypocrites crept in among them deluding them by their c fair Speeches so deceiving the hearts of the simple they soon embraced the Doctrine of Antichrist for many Opposers of the Truth were in those days And so the Churches fell more and more from the Truth as was clearly signified by the opening of the Seals Rev. 6. and sounding of the Trumpets Rev. 8. So that the Sun wherewith the Church was cloathed became black as d Sackcloth of Hair the Moon bloody the Stars the Ministers fell from the heavenly Doctrines of Faith to e earthly things like unto the Doctrine of these times that Men speak evil of those things they cannot comprehend by f corrupt Nature So that the heavenly State of the Church was rolled up together as a g Scroll That as God of old delivered his Church for like sins into the hands of the old Babylonians who destroyed both Temple and City and killed many and would not suffer their Bodies to be put in the h Grave Even so did the Lord deliver the Christians into the hands of the Spiritual Babylon the Romish Harlot who like old Babylon killed many of God's Servants and would not suffer their Bodies to be put in the i Grave Notwithstanding though the Beast was said in a sense to overcome k he Saints yet he could not for they were with Christ in this War the called chosen and faithful l all the time of the thousand Years of the Beasts Reign and would not worship the Beast nor his Image neither had received his Mark in their Foreheads by openly yielding unto his Canons nor secretly in their Hands by paying his Priests their duties as they call them but by Falth keeping the Commands of God they lived and m reigned with Christ a thousand years on n Earth and this was in the time of the Beast's Reign else the Praise given them by God's Spirit had not been properly belonging unto them of not worshipping the Beast So that they are under a great Mistake that have taught from Rev. 20.4 that the Saints have not yet reigned with Christ on Earth and how many have been deceived in this Point by them when the Saints Reign on Earth is not after an earthly manner as in pag. 18. is shewed but over Sin the World and the Devil and this is the Saints Victory even their Faith So saith Paul I have fought the good Fight I have finished my Course I have kept the Faith henceforth there is laid up for me a Crown not of Gold as some expect on Earth but of Righteousness and Glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ a Jude v. 3. b 1 Cor. 16.13 c Rom. 16.18 d Rev. 6 12. e Phil. 3.19 f Jude 10.

As God of old in Wrath remembred mercy to his ancient Church captivated in Babylon signified to Ezekiel there by the little Book given him to a eat that he must prophesie again to the dry b Bones to call them to Repentance and to return and build the Temple as was further signified to Zachary by a measuring c Line shewed him that Jerusalem should be built and the Temple in it and God's Worship restored as was accomplished in the days of Nehemiah Ezra Zachary and Haggai As their Books do shew at large Even so did the Lord in Wrath remember Mercy to his Church captivated by the spiritual Babylon Therefore by a like Sign as was shewed to Ezekiel so to John that he must eat the little d Book signifying how the Lord after a thousand years of the Beasts Reign would raise up his faithful Servants and deliver his Captives as was fulfilled in the end of the sixth Seal Rev. 7. and the beginning of the seventh with a measure of John's Spirit to call his Elect out of the Spiritual e Babylon the Romish Church the great City which reigned over the Kings of the Earth whose f City was so large as she reigned over all People Kindreds Tongues and Nations where her Canons and Orders were obeyed So that to the Elect among these must the Eaters of the little Book prophesy as Ezekiel did to the dry Bones that lay dead in the g Antichristian Errors So that the rest of the dead lived not again h since their Fall in Adam and their own Trespasses and Sins since comitted in spiritual i Fornication with the Romish Harlot until the thousand years Reign of the Beast was ended which time of her Reign to wit her Eclesiastical Estate in making Laws over Mens Consciences began about the year of our Lord 313 or 315. and made not an end of making Laws till about the year 1564.

God manifested in the flesh The b Altar figured the Doctrine of his Oblation and Mediation for his Church and the whole measuring the Temple Altar and VVorshippers signifying the Restoring of the Christian Religion from the Apostacie of Antichrist and more particularly the Temple figured Christ truly professed for his Person and Doctrine of true Christianity and the Constitution of his Church therein and the Altar the Doctrine of his Oblation and c Mediation for his Church and the VVorshippers are faithful Christians which worship God in Spirit and in Truth and not according to the appointment of Mahomet nor the appointment of the Pope but according to the appointment of the Lord Jesus the only Lord and Law-giver to his Church and Arch-Bishop of our Souls contrary to the Heresies and Abominations of Antichrist who together with all that obey his Orders in the service of God make up one Body together the Man of Sin a 1 Cor. 9.16 b Rev. 6.9 Heb. 13.10 12.
