To the Reader PErusing this Treatise I could not but take notice of some pretious truthes in it and commend them abroad Rom. 14.17 Ephes 4.3 1 Cor. The spirituall designe of this Author I finde to be this to set up the Kingdome of God in spirit and to draw believers by that more into spirit and that no difference of outward administrations or Ordinances should divide Christians that are baptised into one spirit which Truth I did much rejoyce to see from his penn and practice and should rejoyce to see the like from all the rest We know he is not a Iew who is one outward Rom. 2. neither is that Circumcision which is outward in the flesh we are the circumcision saith the Apostle Phil. 3. who rejoyce in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh There are some excellent Truthes hinted in this booke which I intend to speake on as of the two Adams the spirituall Church the spirituall Liberty the spirituall not personall reign of Christ in a little Treatise of my own Ephes 1.17 1 Cor. 2. The Lord fill us with the Spirit of wisdome and Revelation The spirituall man judgeth all things Iohn Saltmarsh THE Marrow of Christianity SECTION 1. Of Adams Condition before his fall THe condition of Adam in his innocercy before his fall war 1. A condition of humane perfection an upright and perfect man this is the conclusion of wisdome Eccles 7.29 Loe this onely have I found that God hath made man upright but they have sought out many inventions Obj. But it is said Gen. 1.27 that God created man in his own Image in the Image of God created he him therefore it seemes that Adam had more in him then perfect humani●y that he was partaker of the divine nature Answ For the clearing of his Scripture two things are to be considered 1. what is meant by the Image of God 2. 2. what is not mean by it 1. what we are to understand by the Image of God in which Adam was crea●ed 1. reason wisdome and understanding Adam was made a reasonable wise and understanding man in this particular he was in the Image of God A wise God there is no searching of his understanding Esa 46.28 Adam had the Image of Gods wisdome not the wisdome of God not the thing it selfe it dwelled in God fully it was essentiall in him but imparted to Adam it was and is in God essentially he is wisdome it selfe Adam was but the Image God himselfe the substance That this Image was in man at first appeares first from Scripture Gen. 2.19.20 the Lord brought all the creation to wit sensitive Creatures before Adam that he might give names unto them or to see what he would call them God would now put him to the imploying of that reason and understanding he had given unto him a perfection of reason above all other Creatures 2. It appeares from naturall experience hence it is that there is so much enquiring after a perfection of humane reason so much studying of Arts as Philosophy Logick Rhetorick c. but from these corrupted reliques or principles of reason yet remaining in faine man striving after and hardly being satisfied wi●hout the perfection of reason able to give a reason of all things and this your heathen Philosophers have gone far in and this is that may be attained in an high measure and yet be but a reasonable morall man nay were it possible to attaine that perfection that was in Adam yet it would be no more then a morall and humane perfection and this is that which many who beare the name of Christians too much presse after and glory in as if without this wisdome there could be no knowledge of the minde of Christ thus did the Greekes seeke after wisdome 1 Cor. 1.22 the Greekes being the deepest in the knowledge of humane Arts and of the nature and cause of things therefore they would judge of the Gospel according to reason they seeke after naturall wisdome but saith the Apostle we preach Christ to the Greekes foolishnesse so indeed is the Gospel in the ministery of it meer folly to the highest naturall understanding in the world nay it is that which the wisdome of the Gospel destroyes where it comes in power he destroyes the wisdome of the wise and brings to nought the understanding of the prudent 1 Cor. 1.19 and here lies the great mistery of mistake I had almost said of Iniquity we seeke after the knowledge of God in the wisdome of the first Adam how many are there that would confine the knowledge of God unto this wisdome who are not ashamed to say that Philosophy is the mother of Theologie and without this naturall wisdome men must come short in the knowledge of God when the truth is the first Adam was of the earth earthly the second is the Lord from heaven and they who have but the first Adams wisdome are still of the earth earthly the wisdome of the first Adam comes infinitely short of bringing us to the knowledge of God in the spirit but it is by the wisdome of the second Adam who is the Lord from heaven and the wisdome of the father we attaine the knowledge of God in the spirit which wisdome destroyes and brings to nought the wisdome of the first Adam 1 Cor. 1.19 Chap. 2.6.7.8 and 3 Chap. 18.19.20 Note that all unbe●ievers and car●all professors are in the wisdome of the first Ad●m all believers spiritually made alive by Jesus being delivered from themselves are in the wisdome of the second Ad●m the Lord Jesus who is the wisd●me of the Father 1 Cor. 1.24 2. Adam was in the Image of God that was in a perfect morall pure and sinlesse condi●ion he was made upright innocent without sin but he sought out many inventions Qu. How may a morall purity and righteousnesse be said to be the Image of God Answ 1. God was and is perfectly essentially and spiritually pure Adam was but the Image or Character of this purity as it is possible to draw a compleate Image or Caracter of a living man in peece of stone or timber and we say and speake truly that it is the Image or likenesse of a living man yet it is not a living man nor
Nations both Gentile as well as Jew but the veil shall be taken away Isai 25. And I will saith the Lord destroy or swallow up in ●his mountaine that is in the Church the face of the covering cast over all people and the veile spread over all Nations Such hath been the ignorance that hath overspread all People and Nations through the spiritual operation of the man of sinne that the mystery of the Gospell hath been hid as it were from us and sealed up even with seven seales a perfection of darknesse that none was found worthy to open it Humane Arts and Creature-wisdome being set a-work did but so much the more darken it and cast a veile upon it till at last the Lord Jesus begins to open it himselfe and will unseale it by degrees and cause the veile to vanish away to the great glory of his spirituall Ones but to the great terror of all humanists who were left without this spirituall knowledge of Christ See the further confirmation of this truth Isa 11.9 The earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea As ignorance hath as a veil been spread over all Nations so shall the knowledge of the Lord goe forth abundantly throughout all Nations Isa 60.17 19 20. Rev. 21.22 23. Secondly that which shall make for the Churches spirituall glory shall be the enjoyment of a full freedome from the guilt of sinne that which much troubles many a pretious soule and it was that the Apostle Paul was freed from Rom. 8. We have not received the spirit of bondage to feare again but the spirit of adoption whereby we cry Abba Father And this is that the Lord hath promised to his people in the latter day Isa 33.24 And the inhabitant shall not say I am sick the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity Sin is the cause of spirituall sicknesse This cause shall be taken away for they shall be forgiven their iniquity i. e. they shall live in the knowledge and enjoyment of it And from henceforth they shall not say I am sicke and the voyce of crying and weeping shall be no more heard in her for the former things are passed away there shall bee no more sin nor sorrow but everlasting joy shall be upon her head and sorrow and sighing shall passe away Isai 35.10 A third thing that shall make for the Saints spiritual glory is the knowledge of and enjoyment of a spiritual Onenesse with God in Christ and each with other although this be a glorious spiritual truth yet it is that the Saints have lived exceeding short in the knowledge of it the knowledge and enjoyment of it will be exceeding glorious to the spiritual Christian What this union is and wherein it consists I referre it to what hath been said formerly in the glorious condition of persons in the second Adam above the first A fourth thing that will make for the Saints spirituall glory is a living above creatures and things in the spirituall enjoyment of God whom to enjoy is life when all things below shal bee nothing when the soule shall be content to suffer the losse of all things that Christ may bee all and in all the glorious Lord will bee unto us a place of broad rivers streams wherin shal go no Gally with Oares nor shall gallant Ships passe thereby Isai 33.24 no need of rowing in creatures or things no need of gallant ships of any thing to carry the soul up unto God or to bring God in Christ down to the soule but the glorious Lord will be all and in all and the spiritual Christian shal live in the enjoyment of him verse 23. Then shal the tacklings be forsaken or loosed they could not strengthen their Mast they shal not be able who desire it to saile any further or longer in ordinances duties creatures but the great spoyle shal be divided and the lame take the spoyle the lame contemptible ones they are the people that are like to enjoy this spiritual glory A fifth thing that wil make for the Saints spiritual glory is a spiritual and internal conformity unto God they shal live up in the spirit and walk after the spirit Christ will manifest himselfe spiritually in them the light of the Moone shall be as the light of the Sunne and the light of the Sunne shall be seuen-fold as the light of seven dayes the light of the Moon that is of the Church shal be as the light of the sun that is Christ the sonne of Righteousnesse who is both a Sun and a shield and the light of the sunne shall be seven-fold that is Christ shal appeare in the spirit to his conforming them to himself in the spirit which wil appear seven times more glorious than formerly when we knew him after the flesh Zach. 12.8 He that is weak and feeble amongst them shal be as David that is Christ David shal be as God even as the Angels of God before him This is the glorious conformity that all the Saints shal have unto Jesus Christ in the spirit this glorious unity and conformity unto the Law of Righteousnesse is that wil appear at the first sight of it very terrible and dreadful to the sons of men Cant. 6.10 Who is She that looketh forth as the morning faire at the Moon cleare as the Sun terrible as an Army with Banners such wil bee the strangenesse of this glorious truth that it wil not only appear terrible and dreadful to the men of this world but even Christ sets it forth himself with a note of admiration not as if it were strange to him but rather to discover her excellent glory and indeed the Church will bee worth a looking on her glory a seeking-after of all spiritual ones 4 Particular propounded for the clearing of the truth in hand is that the kingdome of Christ is wholly spiritual and not of this world that as formerly so in the latter dayes the glory of his Kingdom shal be in the spirit and not in the flesh it wil be spiritual and not personal for clearing of it I shal first prove it from testimony of Scripture 2ly By spiritual Arguments grounded upon Scripture 3ly Answer such Questions and Scripture-grounds which seeme to hold it forth 1 By testimony from Scripture it is the word of Christ himself My Kingdom is not of this world that is not a fleshly and external Kingdome over the bodies of men but a spiritual and internal one the kingdom of heaven is within you So likewise 1 Cor. 5.16 There is no more knowledge of Christ after the flesh they are too fleshly thoughts for a spiritual Christian Secondly it wil appear by spiritual Arguments likewise 1 Argument The spiritual presence of Christ with his Saints is the most glorious presence Christ wil be most gloriously present with his people in the latter dayes ergo his presence and so his Kingdome will be a spiritual
and in things never of God prescribed yet the spirit of lov● should so temper ●u● spirits as that we should not bite and devoure each other but let as many as are spiritual though differing in some circumstantial things in the letter yet own each other in ●he spiri● impu●ing those differences to the flesh a●d this union in the spirit the knowledge of it will in conclusion bring all the Saints into one spiritual way Esa 35.9 And so they shall worship God in the Spirit with one heart Z●ph 3. and so pu an end to divisions and dividing principles which flow meerly from the flesh SECTION IX The spirituall Kingdome of Christ in his Church in the latter dayes of the Gospel discovered THE Kingdome of Christ hath alwayes been and still is spiritual but in the latter dayes of the Gospel it shall be much more spiritual and glorious than formerly with relation to the subjects of it For the clearing of this truth in hand note these 4. particulars 1. That Christ is a King 2. Who are the subjects of his Kingdome 3. That his Kingdome shall increase in glory and spirituallnesse in the latter dayes 4. That his Kingdome is spiritual and not of this world First that Christ is King I suppose it is unquestionable all who own the Gospel but in the letter confesse as much in word see a Scripture or two to confirme it Psal 2.6 The Lord speaking of Christ saith Yet have I set my King upon the holy hill of Sion notwithstanding the rage of men yet Christ is King and will reign so likewise Psal 45. with Heb. 1.8 but unto the Son he saith thy Throne O God is for ever and ever a Scepter of righteousnesse is the Scepter of thy Kingdome he hath a Kingdome and a Scepter by which he rules he is the Prince of the Kings of the earth a King of Kings and Lord of Lords 2. Who are the subjects of his Kingdome it is true he is King over all King of Kings and Lord of Lords he will rule over his enemies with his Iron rod and dash them in peeces like a Potters vessell but he is in a more special manner King over the Saints and in them he lives and so rules in them as wel as over them he is not only King of nations but king of Saints Rev. 15.3 It is part of the Saints song of joy Just true are thy wayes O thou King of Saints and in the Saints he reigns spiritually powerfully for in the day of his power he maketh them a willing people the subjects of Christs Kingdome are a free people the manner how Christ reignes in and over his people and what are his Lawes I passe it in this place and referr you to the Kingly Office of Christ in my booke intituled the exaltation of Christ in his Offices and and so come to the 3. thing propounded That is that the Kingdome of Christ shall increase in glory and spiritualnesse in the latter dayes the glory of the Church in the latter dayes shall increase and the manifestation of Christs Kingly power shall increase Esa 9. of the increase of his Government and Peace there shall be no end The Churches glory shall consist of 2. particulars that is external and internall 1. External the Church shall injoy much external glory liberty and peace even in the world in the latter dayes Qu. Wherein shall the external glory of the Church consist Answ 1. In the abundance of peace and quiet even from the men of the world Esa 66.12 I will extend peace to her like a River and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing streame peace shall be extended not onely in the Spirit but in the letter likewise for the ground of this peace is rendred in verses 15.16 for behold the Lord will come with fire c. Esa 65.25 the Wolfe and the Lamb shall feed together c. they shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy Mountain saith the Lord God will take away the Wolvish disposition of men that they shall live peaceably amongst the Saints they shall not hurt nor destroy c. 2. God wil take off the spirits of evil men he will make them stoop and fall before the Saints Mich. 7.16.17 The Nations shall see and be confounded at all their might they shal lay their hand upon their mouth their eares shall be deaf they shall licke the dust like a Serpent they shall move out of their holes like wormes of the earth they shall be afraid of the Lord our God and shall feare because of thee Thus will the Lord deale with his enemies in the latter dayes he will take away their Chariot-wheels and cause them to drive heavily 3. God wil give the Saints a good name even amongst their enemies they shall be high even in the thoughts of bad men Isa 65.15 And yee to wit the Lords enemies shall leave your name for a curse to my chosen for the Lord will slay thee and call his servants by another name Formerly the Saints had a name of reproach amongst the wicked if a man departed from iniquity he made himselfe a prey but the Lord wil give his servants another name even amongst their enemies that men shall not blesse themselves in their evill wayes but whoso blesseth himselfe in the earth shall blesse himselfe in the God of truth 4. God will make his enemies in stead of persecuting to serve the Saints Isai 60.12 For the Nation and kingdome that will not serve thee shall perish yea those Nations shall be utterly wasted Vers 14. The sonnes of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee and all they that despised th●e shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet and shal call thee the Citie of the Lord. Thus you see the Churches enemies shall not only acknowledge the Saints and confesse them to be the Lords Citie but bow down unto them and do them service 5. The Saints shall be exceeding many and that will adde to their externall glory Times have been that to be a Christian indeed would have been a wonder and he that departed from iniquity made himselfe a prey and so were counted the off-scouring of all things but now a little-one shall become a thousand and a small one a strong Nation yea the Lord will hasten it in his time Isa 60.22 and vers 5. Then shalt thou see and flow together and thy heart shall feare and be enlarged because the abundance of the Sea shall bee converted unto thee the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee This with much more shall be the eternall glory of the Church Secondly the Church shall enjoy abundance of internall glory in the latter dayes both is coming on apace Quest Wherein shall the Churches internall glory consist Answ 1. In the abundance of spirituall light and knowledge Much ignorance hath possessed the soules even of Saints a long time a veil hath been spread over all
Thessalonians were them so delivers it in the present tense when he might haue said rather to speake after the manner of men then they which shal be alive at his coming c. as in Revel the word might have run thus and so questionlesse it is to be understood then they that were beheaded for the witnesse of Jesus were raised or lived reigned with Christ as the sence of the former then they that shall bee alive at the comming of the Lord shal not prevent them which are asleep so that the spirit of God might as wel deliver a truth which is in the Present tense in the Preterpluperfect tense as a truth in the Present tense which was in the Future and yet is all to exercise the mind of him that readeth and to let us know there is mystery in the Gospel Secondly very few Saints have been beheaded in the litteral sence those that have dyed for Christ have dyed other deaths not beheaded therefore we cannot understand it in the letter but in the spirit The fourth particular propounded was what was meant in that the rest of the dead were not raised until the 1000. yeares were finished that is none that had beene bodily dead Saints or wicked good or bad were raised till after the 1000 years were finished and then you shall see the resurrection of all which is called the second resurrection The first is called a resurrection and the first resurrection because it shall be a resurrection from shame disgrace in the world And secondly it shal be a glorious resurrection in the spirit this first all the Saints have in some measure been partakers of it Thus it appeares that Christ shall have a Kingdome a glorious a spiritual One Quest But when shal this Kingdom be Answ 1. It is already begun in the spirits of Saints the Kingdome of Heaven is within you 2 I beleeve that the time of the 1000 years which is a more glorious estate in the spirit is not yet begun but the beginning of that time shal be when the 7 seales are fully opened and the 7 trumpets fully founded and the 7 vials powred forth they being but effects of each other the opening of the seales occasions the sound of the trumpets the sound of the trumpets occasion the vials the opening of the seales the unfolding of the mysteries of the Gospel which have been hid Rev. 5.1 2. As light breakes forth the trumpets sound the servants of Jesus preach forth the mystery of the Gospel the preaching of the mysteries of the Gospel in the power and puritie of it occasions the vials of wrath to fal upon the Antichristian estate both in the spirit and in the letter which work is now a doing Wait the Lords time and it wil come on apace But first we are yet like to be given into the hands of the little horn who changes times lawes the two witnesses are yet like to be slain to sydead 3 dayes a half and the woman cloathed with the Sun to be driven into the wildernesse for a little space a time times halfe a time the Beast with two hornes like a Lambe hath yet a little time to make use of his power perswading them that dwel in the Earth to make an Image to the first Beast and that none but those who own it shal buy or sel with them the Saints beheaded under the Altar to wait a little time before they be raised up to live with Christ 1000. years but it is not long the vision is for an appointed time in the end it wil speak and not ly it wil come and not tarry The first 1000. is almost past the second and third are coming on apace all the Nations and Kingdomes in the world wil come apace to be the Kingdoms of the Lord of his Christ and he shall reign for ever their lives shal be prolonged for a season a time and other Scriptures are alledged for the personal reign of Christ as the stone cut out of the Mountain without hands Dan. 2. that is the glorious power of Christ by weak meanes subduing all Antichristian enemies without his Saints all Antichristian things by his spirit within them So that in Dan. 7.10 the glorious company of Saints attending on Christ in the spirit which shal be fulfilled at the raising of the two witnesses up into heaven in the sight of their enemies Rev. 5.10 11. This is the first glorious work of the Lord Jesus in and amongst the Saints the Lord reigneth let the Saints rejoyce the Lord reigneth let the world tremble See Zach. 14.5 The Lord our God wil come and all the Saints with him that is Christ will come in the spirit and all the Saints shall appear gloriously in him A word of Application First if this bee truth that the Kingdome of Christ is a spiritual kingdome not of this world this may inform us how far besides the Gospel in the spirit and truth of it those men are who make the Kingdome of Christ to bee meerly political and a state Kingdom who turne the world by a humane power into the Church and Kingdome of Christ as they say Christ must have a worldly carnal Kingdome no better than the Kings of the earth enjoy or else he shal have none at all it savors exceedingly of the earth ere long thither it must return Secondly this should incourage the Saints to presse forward after the knowledge of God in the spirit that as the kingdome of Christ is spiritual and not of this world so may the Saints Kingdom likewise be in the spirit and so all their enjoyments may be spiritual enjoyments this is that will make the soule fat and wel-liking in the Lord fill the soule with joy peace which the world is not acquainted with their eyes never saw it nor their hearts conceived it neither are they like to see it unlesse the Lord make them spiritual SECT X. Of Death Resurrection Judgement and the state of the Saints after judgment eternally with God FIrst of death It is appointed for all men once to dye Dust we are and to dust we must return and therefore it behoves us to expect it All the dayes of mine appointed time wil I waite till my change come Death is certain although the time be uncertain it is that none are in a common and ordinary way exempted from unlesse those Saints who are alive at the last coming of Christ they shal be changed in a moment in the twinkling of an eye 1 Cor. 15.51 52. and so shall bee caught up in the spirit to meet the Lord in the Ayre 1 Thes 4.17 Secondly of the resurrection That there shal be a resurrection of the body at the last day is evident Iohn 5 28 29. Iohn 11.24 with 1 Cor. 15. throughout Rev. 20.12 13. although this truth is by some denyed and by others too carnally looked upon some thinking that our
that is First of all Antichrists spiritual delusions by which he hath deceived soules 2 And all Antichrists deluding formes and ordinances by which the common sort of people are generally deluded the worke of Christ is to powre downe Vials of wrath upon the head of the Man of sinne both in the spirit and in the letter Looke about you therefore all you whose spiritual life consists in nothing but spiritual and Antichristian delusions with invented and Antichristian formes and ordinances A Vial of Wrath is coming on you which wil shatter to pieces al your confidence and then if mercy prevent not you may stand looking on and crying alas alas in one houre is so great riches come to nought and then when this is fulfilled there shal be no more warre in Heaven or spiritual delusion under the name of Christ A glorious word for those that dwel in Heaven and that which wil cause joy to the Saints For first they shal bee without and above all danger of delusions in the spirit or in the letter And secondly they shal from the same ground be for ever freed from fellowship with Hypocrites and literal Christians for their communion shal bee more in the spirit and lesse in the letter and there shal in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth neither whatsoever worketh abhomination that is lives earthly carnal and prophane or maketh a lye that is Hypocriticall that seemes to be what he is not But they which are written in the Lambs book of life and there shal be no more a Cananite in the house of the Lord for ever This is the great work Christ hath to do in these latter dayes the consummation of the Kingdome of Antichrist who hath a long time sate in his seate with the exaltation of his owne Kingdome in the spirit SECT V. Quest When he shall be ruined Answ FIrst in the mystery and spirits of the Saints as Jesus Christ comes in and shiues gloriously in the spirit so shal Antichrist bee discovered and destroyed and so hee hath received a great blow already in this Nation through the shinings in of Jesus Christ in the spirit amongst many of his Saints so that this is the time of Antichrists ruine when Jesus Christ comes in and takes place in the spirit of his people as the Kingdome of Christ increaseth so the Kingdome of Antichrist decayeth and consumeth Secondly Antichrist shal bee destroyed when the everlasting Gospel shal be preached that is when the Angel flyeth through the middest of Heaven preaching the everlasting Gospel that is when the Ministers of the Gospel shal come forth with their ful and heavenly discoveries of God in the spirit being permitted to preach the Gospel by the Earthly power in all places with liberty For much hath beene done already by the witnesses professing in sackcloth that is almost always in danger of a civil persecution and much ignorance of the mystery of the Gospel which hath caused them to prophesie in sack-cloth yet they have had power to cause fire to come from Heaven as oft as they please burning up all Antichristian formes and invented delusions And then what wil be done think you when the Ministers of the Gospel shal come forth in the full and bright discoveries of the Gospel with liberties here below for the publishing of it Thirdly Antichrist shal bee destroyed when the witnesses have beene slaine and laine dead three dayes that is a short space then a tenth part of the City shal fal and the rest shal have their time prolonged but for a time and a season The first woe is almost past behold a second and third woe cometh quickly waite and it wil come apace Thus have I from the Light of Truth with as much brevity as may be in some measure hinted at this Man of sinne this Mystery of Iniquitie with his reign ruine with the meanes and time FINIS Errata PAge 4. line 5. for ministry read mystery p. 5. l. 29. for in peece r. in a peece p. 11. l. 1. for manifesteth 2.
