A59383	Olbia, the new i[s]land lately discovered with its religion and rites of worship, laws, customs, and government, characters and language : with education of their children in their sciences, arts and manufactures with other things remarkable / by a Christian pilgrim, driven by tempest from Civita Vecchia, or some other parts about Rome, through the straits, into the Atlantick Ocean ; the first part, from the original.	Sadler, John, 1615-1674.	1660 (1660)	Wing S278; ESTC R9276	335,173	410

one as thou Father art in me and I in Thee that they also may be One in us And for this also I pray and make it my dying request That the World even the whole World may beleeve that thou hast sent me As now my Disciples do and are happy by it For it is Life eternall to know thee the only true God and whom thou hast sent Jesus Christ. Yea I have yet one thing more to desire for the World even for the World also though I did not so pray for them in the beginning of my Prayer And the glory that thou gavest me I have given them that they may be One as we are One and that the World may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them as thou hast loved me And again I have declared thy Name and I will declare it that the Love wherewith thou lovest me may be in them and I in them Plainly intimating that All that come to Know his Name which he will ever declare shall come to Love God being Loved of him with the same love he loved Christ. To whom he gave many great Revelations not for himself as he said when the voyce came from heaven I have glorified my Name and will glorifie it again But that He might shew them to his Children and so great is his goodnesse to his Servants also Thus his Father Abraham was called the Friend of God because he knew his mind to which also Christ alludeth it may be more then once and was made his Privy Councellor For how or why should I hide from Abraham the thing or any thing I do seeing that Abraham shall surely become a Great and mighty Nation All the Nations of the Earth shal be blessed in him For I know him that he will command his Children and his Houshold after him his Houshold after him for he took his Enocks or his Catechised men to pursue the four Kings And they shall keep the Way of the Lord to do Justice and Judgement that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him Which was to be a Blessing to All Nations yea and to All Families and by consequence Housholds of the Earth Which is perfectly fulfilled in Christ that Blessed Seed whose seed also must be as the sand on the Sea shore yea and as the Dust of the Earth for multitude for I saw a multitude which none could number in the Revelation and as the stars also through All the Heavens for Glory And yet these are only the First Born or those that turn others to Righteousnesse Being Kings and Priests to God and his Father But there are others also that shall be as the Firmament though not so bright as the Starrs For so we read in the last of Daniel and of Starrs also there is great difference and severall Magnitudes as St. Paul tells us in the 15. to the Corinthians As his Master also said In my Fathers House are many and it may be very different Mansions Every one also of that Blessed Seed and of the first Born hath the Blessing of Abraham and is a Child of the Promise as Isaac was and is so made Blessing unto All Nations and Families of the Earth and hath the Sure Mercies of David also as we touched before to Him and his Seed after Him Which may be hinted also in the close of the second Commandment For what is there said Of Gods shewing mercy unto thousands is plainly meant of Thousand Generations as appeareth by the opposition of three or four Generations before in the same Commandement And in the 7. of Deutronomy it is so expressed Know therefore that the Lord thy God he is God the faithful God Which keepeth Covenant and Mercy also which is hence remembred by Daniell and Nehemiah wi●h them that love him and keep his Commandments even to a Thousand Generations Which also plainly sheweth that the words of the second Commandement are not to be restrained to those only that actually love God and walk in his Commandements themselves But to their Seed also even to a Thousand Generations And in the name of Goodnesse proclaimed to Moses this of Keeping Mercy for Thousands is written with a very Great and unusuall Letter as to intimate some unexpressible Greatnesse of Goodnesse as the Jews will teach us And those which are not the Seed of Abraham may yet be within the thousand Generations of Noah who was also a Perfect man in his Generations and very dearly beloved and Blessed by God who also blessed his Sonns and made an everlasting Covenant with them And his mercy is to a thousand Generations yea to All Generations as the Psalmes expresse it from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him and their Childrens Children Whereas on the other side when he would expresse his great Jealoufie and visiting the Fathers Iniquity upon their Children it is but for three or four Generations VVhich is so far from such a Threatning as may be taken by some that it is very great Goodnesse That the worst of Gods Visitations here threatned shall be only for three or four Generations was so proclaimed by God when he caused all his Goodnesse to passe before Moses who also repeated this on God as a promise when he interceeded for Israel at their making the Calf which sure he would not have then pressed if he had not taken it for a great peece of Goodnesse as it was the last in that great Proclamation and God useth to reserve his Best for the last And when Moses heard it he made hast to worship as if he had now seen the very worst of God to be Very Good and much better then he knew before Though it was a good Report he had long had of Gods Goodnesse but not half or it may be the thousand part of that which will be known When he shall come to be Admired by All that Beleeve Yea and That also of Not holding guiltless or not Quitting the Guilty speaketh Goodness also and was in his Name of Goodness Proclaimed to Moses and so taken by Him and repeated and pressed on God as an argument for Pardoning and sparing the poore People when the Calf was made And God answered I have Pardoned according to thy Word And truly All the earth shall be filled with the Glory of the Lord or with the Salvation of God as we have found by comparing two Psalms together and the 40 of Esay with the Evangelist c●ing it which is a very Sweet and Gracious Promise By which we may clearly see that the worst of those Expressions did not mean Eternall Punishment but only such a Visitation for some few Generations as might very well stand with Pardoning So that the persons so Visited should not be destroyed for the Lord visits not to destroy but to save but yet Chastened and Corrected in measure and not wholly left unpunished As we find the very same Phrase used by God

Palm tree which it also signifies as That which Riseth by Pressing down and was used at the Feast of Tabernacles and yet also by the Jews shaking their Palms Thrice every way crying Hosanna Hosanna As their Fathers did to Christ spreading Palm branches as we read in the Gospel But how Hated and Cursed Things and Persons may be Loved and Blessed as changed by Him that is not changed as we read in the same Prophet to which also St. James alludeth who also telleth us We are All begotten by One Father and that He hateth putting away in himself also I hope more than any person We must speak anon When I consider the solemn engagement of God to his Son Ask of me and I will give thee all Nations and the utmost ends of the Earth or in the Gospel-words Ask and thou shalt receive seek and thou shalt finde knock and it shall be opened which was first said to Christ before he said it unto us and he saith it to every one and with that also Because it is so to every one therefore so to you or them that then heard him I have often thought it such a ground of Faith and Hope that instead of doubting whether I was given to him or not I have often pressed it on him Ask me that thou mayst receive me seek me and thou shalt finde me and by vertue of the Covenant my hard heart also shall be opened to thee if thou wilt knock heartily Now thou saist thou standest at the door and knockest O but do it heartily which is the great Law of All Servants and thou art the Lords Servant and so called through the Prophets Gospel all the Bible And the Lords servant must be gentle towards all even to them which oppose themselves c. I have also judged it an unworthy thought of God to think he would so solemnly bid him ask what he would and whom he would and then to tye his tongue or narrow his heart so as he durst not or he would not ask as many as he could dispose or manage And to put it out of doubt I see him very solicitous to perswade and assure us that the Father hath so far prevented all his asking or our fears doubts that he hath given him all Things all Persons all Power in Heaven and Earth And on this Rock he grounds his Calls and all our Faith and Hope and coming to him For we must needs have staggered at all his words and promises till with Abraham we were fully perswaded that he was able to perform what ever he promised and this was imputed to him for Righteousness and not unto him only but unto us also it shall be imputed a strange expression to the Gentile Romans If we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead who was delivered for our offences and raised again for our Justification We erre greatly not knowing the Scriptures and the mighty Power of Christ which if we knew we should not dispute his will but rowle our selves upon it as we daily pray and say Lord if thou wilt thou canst make us whole and cleane The God whom we worship is able to deliver us out of this Pit and fiery Furnace was it not a great mystery But however we will not worship the Golden Image of the Beast or him that was or is to be a Beast and to eate grass as an Oxe nor will we receive his character or name or number of it though set up in the plain of Dura every Generation of this World made up of 6. in bredth and 60. in height 666 was also the number of Talents of Gold brought yearly unto Solomon But of this again in our discourse of times and numbers weights and measures And when our Saviour himself came to dye and all the Scripture was against him that he could not live yet he was not afraid to put himself upon the infinite Power of God with Father if it be be possible and all things are possible The Angel to the Virgin said all things shall be possible with God and Christ several times with God all things are possible and at his coming down from the Mount an embleme of his second coming he addeth all things are possible to him also even to a poor weeping man that believeth All things are possible to thee O Father and to mealso they shall be possible But not my will but thine be done on Earth and my Earth also as in thy highest Heavenly Throne which shall also be my Throne And Father I will that those which thou hast given me to whom thou hast given all things may be with me and see my Glory and sit on my throne also And his Throne is established with Mercy as we read in the Prophet Isa. Yea rather with Mercy than Truth or any other thing for so the Proverbs say Mercy and Truth preserve the King but his Throne is established with Mercy So that if he cannot hold both he must let go Truth and all Justice rather than Mercy For Mercy shall triumph over all Judgement and in Judgement he still will still doth remember Mercy And he that sheweth not mercy in all things and all times shall have no mercy shewed him and himself bid them go learn what that meant I will have mercy and not sacrifice or mercy rather than any sacrifice He hath shewed thee O man what is good and what the Lord delighteth in to do Justice but especially to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God Ride on prosperously because of Truth and Meekness of Righteousness and seeing God accepteth mercy rather than any other sacrifice let him guide thee also in the way he shall chose and best accept as the Psalmist speaketh I will therefore sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever for I have said mercy shall be built up for ever Mercy and Truth shall go before thy face O blessed are the people that know that joyfull sound and understand it They shall walk O Lord in the light of thy countenance in thy name they shall rejoyce all the day for they that know thy name will trust in it and in thy very Justice they shall be exalted Mercy and Truth are met together Righteousness and Peace do kiss each other Melchizedek the King of Righteousness is also King of Salem that is Peace and his Throne of Judgement in the Revelation is a white Throne and is established with mercy For his mercy endureth for ever for his mercy endureth for ever Even that Mercy which is Over all his works and his compassions never fall And Solomon saith he that honoureth his Maker hath Mercy on the Poor He shall hear the Poor when he cryeth and him that hath no Helper no Helper He shall save their souls and shall redeem them from deceipt and violence or as this Psalm is expressed in Ezechiel He shall offer sacrifice for every one that erreth and is simple

the Field as we read in Gen. 3. to be compared with the Revelation in divers places Which yet were not so subject to Adam though he had a Command rather than Power or Knowledge how to use it As to Noah who had All the Beasts delivered over by God into his Hand as Job was into Satans with Permission and Commission and a Promise also that God would keep them under with Fear renewed also in Hos. and other places Onely Spare their Blood that is their Soul as also God said of Job For a Goodman is merciful to the Soul of his very Beast as we read in Wise Solomon who yet saith He and We and All are Beasts So also was God and our Saviour merciful to his poor Beast Nebuchadnezar A great man and yet greater than we may imagine First a Man and So a little God and on Horsback a Cherub Covering Cherub As they Picture George on Horsback over the Dragon of great Worship among the old Saxons or English and He hovered so long till he received also the Dragons Power and seems to Conquer Him But O! by This Power He becomes a Serpent and bites the Horses Heel till his Rider fall Backward also Lebab turned into Babel and bow to the Beast But He that made Leviathan can cause his Sword his Great and sore and strong and long Sword to approach him And shall visit the Crossing Serpent and slay the Dragon in the great Deep And Behemoth also the Great Beast the Feminine Plural Beasts Mother of Beasts and Fornication even Great Babylon Of which in Job the Psalms Prophets and Revelation in divers places And All shall worship the Beast whose Names are not written in the Lambs Book of Life from the Foundation of the World For All Tongues and Nations and Kindreds are under his Power and the Dragons that gave Power to This Beast Are they not the same words that are spoken of Nebuchadnezar in the Prophet Jeremy Chap. 27 But He that leadeth Captive shall be led Captive and He that slayeth with the Sword shall be slain with the Sword Here is the Faith and patience of the Saints And He that will not open his Prison Doors or visit his Captives shall be Bound himself and not visited for a long season And He that maketh Others worship the Beast or Image of the Beast in Dura or any other Province of Babylon shall himself be Turned into a Beast and eat grass with an Ox. He would be a Beast he played and Acted the Beast the Roaring Tearing and Devouring Beast and He that Giveth every thing the desire of his Heart Gave that Beastly Man a Beastly Heart But How Long Holy and True Remember how short my Time is Why hast thou made All men so Vain Seven and but Seven Times 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or Then shall pass over Thee As if Here also God would intimate that All Time and Times and all their Ever also Pass and shall Pass quite away As we noted before in 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 also or Wrath For so the English sound 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 also by W as in With For 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or many other words As Esay Cryeth Hide thy self a little moment till the Wrath be Passed Or as Jonathan said to David Hide thy self till my Fathers Wrath be over Till the Morning or to morrow 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 much as 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 666. For The sun must not go down on Wrath and if Sorrow last All Night Joy shall come with the Morning Sun But what are These 7 Times They are said to be Years But These are Masculine and Feminine Solar and Lunar Yea and as Shanah a Year in the Singular is very near akin to Nahash a Serpent as we noted So is Shanim Years but Nashim Women also by a Metathesis which yet I name not Aversa Venus as some of their Poets may Jeremy tells us that All Nations must serve Babel yea and Tongues also must Babble As at the Tower of Babel for 70 years As they tell us of 70 Nations that rose up at that Babbling And if Then the King of Babylon himself become a Man again and be restored to the lost Image of God from the Image of the Beast Is it not possible that All Tongues and Nations also may be restored with him But in That Gospel which I cited so much already Levit. 26. Our Saviour tells them that If they will not hearken unto Him but despise his Statutos as Nathan chargeth on David himself and their soul abhor his Judgements and quite Break his Covonant or be Uneircumcised He will Then Then What not till Then and All That Will not and Despise and Soul abhoring and All Covenant-breakings He will Then begin to consume their Eyes we touched it before in Sampson and cause sorrow of heart fair warnings and they shall sow their Seed in Vain And I will set my Face my Face but not my Heart against you And They that Hate you shall Reign over you And if you will not yet Hearken unto me I will punish you Seven as we saw before And if yet you will walk Keri c. I will yet Seven more And I will also send the Beast as alluding plainly to that in Gen. 3. Where the Serpent is more subtile 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 used of Adam and Eve in the Verse before Then Any Beast of the Field the very Phrase here used in Leviticus But yet I will yet remember my Covenant as we saw before And there was much need of This Memory in God and His Remembrance of his Holy Covenant at this Time of Babylon And as Hezekiahs Queen was Hephzibah to which Esay 62. 4. may allude So his Mother was My Father Abi of Zechariah the Lords Remembrance slain it seems between the Porch and the Altar Though they Acted this again after our Saviour also in another Zechary of Baruch also as we may learn from Josephus And though Manassehs Name may hint that He forgot his Duty yet the Lord still Remembred his Covenant and his Promise to Remember it And although he had now cause enough given him by Ammon the people also to Despair of their Amendment which may be Hinted in Josiah the Lord Despairing Yet his Mother was Beloved Jedidah as Solomon was Jedidiah and Jedidoth we saw before in the Psalms and the Daughter of the Lords Eternity Adaiah And he gave Josiah 4 Sons First Johanan the Lord Gracious And then Jehojachim the Lord will Raise again And Zedekiah the Lords Justice Shallum Satisfied or Pacified As in another Zechary when the white Horses had gone out after the Black he said My Spirit is Quieted even towards the North or Babylon Haran Hamath and other Places or Persons also at my Left Hand which was Northwards as we saw before And then presently followes Go to them of the Captivity even of Cheled my Age or Cheled and Tobiah
