A40762	A sober inquiry, or, Christs reign with his saints a thousand years, modestly asserted from Scripture together with the answer of most of those ordinary objections which are usually urged to the contrary.	I. F.	1660 (1660)	Wing F26; ESTC R5515	86,615	187

But take we divers bodies whereof the one sort are just and the other wicked and compare them together and ask the question which of these shall rise first out of their Graves and the answer must be the just shal arise before the wicked And this the Scripture calls the first resurrection and the resurrection of the just opposed to the unjust Object 20 If the first resurrection be the resurrection of the body who hath part therein not the Saints in general for the Text speaks of Martyrs only and yet not the Martyrs only for then they only should be blessed which is false Answ The first resurrection is the resurrection of the body and all the Saints have part therin who in a sense are all Martyrs as well as those who are actually beheaded or killed for the Word of God See this more largely proved and cleared before But suppose it true that that text Rev. 30.4 speaks only of Martyrs which yet it doth not in a strict fence yet other texts speak of all the Saints and therefore the other Saints besides Martyrs are to be added to and counted in the number Zach. 14.5 And the Lord my God shall come and ALL the Saints with thee 1 Cor. 15.23 They that are Christs at his coming Not only Martyrs in a strict sense but they be they who they will so they belong to Christ they that are Christs at his coming 1 Thessal 3.13 At the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his Saints 1 Thes 4.14 Even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him And John Rev. 5.9.10 speaking of the priveledg of the Church redeemed by Christs blood or rather they themseves speaking of it say thou hast redeemed us by thy blood out of every kindred and tongue and people and nation and hast made us unto our God Kings and Priests and we shall reign on the Earth It is not the priviledg of Martyrs only but of all the Saints who for the sake and cause of God are killed all the day long and are accounted as sheep for the slaughter and are slain if not in effect yet in affection and accounted as the off-scouring of all things But thus I have briefly endeavoured to remove twenty ordinary and common Objections which lying in the way have been an occasion to keep some off from giving any heart● entertainment to this truth It may be some will blame me for dwelling so long in so short a tract on objections but I did it because I know men that are not perswaded of the truth in hand will raise many Others perhaps will think of some that I have not named but yet I hope an answer may be picked out of what hath been said to them that may be further objected I have now only a few things more in so many words to hint and I shall conclude leaving the whole to the censure of the Church and people of God Note we therefore that the resurrection of the just in the morning of the day of Judgement or beginning of the thousand years is called the first resurrection not simply and absolutely as if no other corporal resurrection had gone before it but the first secundum quid because it is the first to the thousand years reign and the first in order to the second which will be universal of all the rest of the dead in the last Judgment properly and strictly so called So here are as it were a determination of two resurrections differing not specie in kind but only tempore gradu in time and degree Specie in kind it is but one resurrection only of which we say in our Creed I believe the resurrection not resurrections for ●●ough we hold two degrees or two times of rising again from the dead yet we beleev both making but one but one resurrection For we believe at the resurrection of Christ som Saints did rise again and yet we hold no more but one resurrection Mat. 27.52 Yet without doubt the Greek Article twice repeated 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 this that resurrection that first hath a singular emphasis to demonstrate some first resurrection known and spoken of in the writings of the Prophets and Apostles Of this resurrection of the just Isaiah seems to speak Isa 26.14 They are dead they shall not live they are deceased they shall not rise Where vivere it the same with resurgere and it is meant of the non-resurrection of the unjust i. e. in that resurrection and therefore it is said on the contrary and by way of opposition vers 19. Thy dead men shall live together with my dead body shall they arise Awake and sing ye that dwell in dust the earth shall cast out her dead Here these dead say the Annotators on the Bible are distinguished from those dead before spoken of ver 14. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 vivent mortui tui sicut cadaver meum resurgent and are to be referred to the first resurrection or the resurrection of life as it is phrased John 5.29 That is peculiar to the faithful and opposed to that ver 14. Thy dead men shall not live c. They that interpret this of an Allegorical resurrection depart from the literal sense without need or cause contrary to the rule of any true and genuine interpretation See also Jer. 31.15 Rachel weeping for her children because they are not that is because they are killed it follows ver 17. there is host in thine end 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in novissimo tuo saith the Lord that thy children shall come again into their own border viz being raised again from the dead for it is irrational to interpret this comfort of any others then of these concerning whom the Lamentation and mourning did arise and grow So Ezek. 37.12 13. Therefore prophesie and say unto them thus saith the Lord God behold O my people I will open your graves and cause you to come up out of your graves and b●ing you into the Land of Israel And ye shall know that I am the Lord when I have opened your graves O my people and brought you up out of your graves And shall put my Spirit into you and ye shall live and I shall place you in your own Land then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it and performed it saith the Lord See the whole text and context it is very full and patt to our present purpose without any interpretation at all Dan. 12.2 Many of them that sleep in the dust shall awake some to everlasting life and some to everlasting shame and contempt That is the just to life eternal in the first resurrection and the unjust to everlasting shame and contempt in the second resurrection Yea Paul himself declares this first resurrection 1 Thes 4.16 The dead in Christ shall rise first The vulgar translation hath the word primi but the Greek is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 primum but it comes all to one And
