i_o in_o my_o temptation_n therefore_o i_o appoint_v unto_o you_o a_o kingdom_n as_o my_o father_n have_v appoint_v unto_o i_o that_o you_o may_v eat_v and_o drink_v at_o my_o table_n in_o my_o

it_o unless_o you_o will_v say_v that_o the_o disciple_n do_v then_o sit_v on_o seat_n judge_v the_o twelve_o tribe_n of_o israel_n or_o that_o christ_n himself_o do_v then_o reign_v for_o it_o be_v his_o own_o kingdom_n which_o he_o here_o appoint_v unto_o they_o neither_o will_v the_o text_n which_o you_o have_v cite_v prove_v that_o the_o time_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o the_o saint_n

for_o the_o argument_n be_v that_o if_o christ_n do_v now_o reign_v and_o shall_v reign_v only_o till_o his_o come_n than_o those_o saint_n which_o shall_v be_v find_v alive_a at_o his_o come_n shall_v be_v exempt_v from_o his_o kingdom_n shall_v not_o reign_v with_o he_o as_o the_o saint_n depart_v do_v reign_n with_o he_o to_o which_o you_o say_v no_o more_o but_o this_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v catch_v up_o to_o meet_v he_o and_o beside_o see_v our_o saviour_n be_v not_o to_o give_v up_o his_o kingdom_n to_o his_o father_n till_o after_o his_o next_o appear_v and_o that_o the_o time_n of_o his_o reign_n be_v to_o be_v but_o a_o 1000_o year_n it_o must_v needs_o follow_v according_a to_o your_o opinion_n that_o not_o only_o all_o the_o saint_n before_o his_o incarnation_n but_o that_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o too_o and_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o saint_n that_o have_v be_v convert_v within_o the_o first_o six_o hundred_o year_n and_o upward_o since_o his_o incarnation_n must_v be_v exclude_v from_o his_o kingdom_n and_o yet_o doubtless_o both_o the_o saint_n before_o christ_n first_o come_v and_o the_o saint_n under_o the_o first_o age_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v all_o reign_v spiritual_o as_o well_o as_o the_o saint_n since_o that_o time_n they_o have_v be_v conqueror_n i_o say_v over_o sin_n and_o over_o suffering_n for_o obedience_n unto_o

ecclesiastical_a history_n do_v testify_v and_o therefore_o that_o reign_n of_o the_o saint_n reveal_v in_o the_o 20_o chap._n of_o the_o apoc._n as_o a_o reign_n to_o come_v and_o to_o be_v but_o of_o a_o 1000_o year_n continuance_n must_v needs_o be_v mean_v of_o some_o other_o reign_n and_o consequent_o of_o a_o proper_a and_o politic_a reign_n on_o earth_n at_o the_o redemption_n of_o

that_o adam_n revolt_n be_v a_o diminution_n of_o the_o father_n kingdom_n whereas_o indeed_o it_o make_v way_n for_o the_o salvation_n of_o those_o who_o god_n have_v predestinate_v unto_o the_o

somany_a and_o no_o more_o will_v he_o make_v heir_n with_o christ_n will_v he_o make_v partaker_n of_o the_o kingdom_n prepare_v for_o they_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n second_o you_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o bring_n of_o the_o faithful_a into_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o father_n be_v the_o render_n of_o the_o kingdom_n unto_o he_o and_o so_o you_o make_v christ_n reign_n and_o the_o render_n of_o his_o kingdom_n to_o the_o father_n to_o be_v all_o one_o and_o to_o contemporate_a whereas_o the_o give_v up_o of_o his_o kingdom_n must_v needs_o succeed_v the_o time_n of_o his_o reign_n for_o to_o cease_v from_o govern_v a_o kingdom_n must_v needs_o presuppose_v a_o precede_a government_n of_o it_o yea_o and_o you_o yourself_o say_v afterward_o that_o when_o the_o

for_o they_o wherein_o you_o plain_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o render_v up_o of_o the_o kingdom_n to_o the_o father_n be_v to_o be_v when_o the_o number_n of_o the_o elect_a be_v fulfil_v when_o these_o who_o have_v before_o be_v receive_v into_o mercy_n be_v all_o present_v unto_o god_n the_o father_n with_o spotless_a and_o incorruptible_a body_n and_o soul_n which_o be_v a_o flat_a contradict_v of_o your_o former_a word_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o faithful_a into_o mercy_n that_o the_o bring_n of_o they_o into_o the_o father_n obedience_n at_o their_o conversion_n be_v the_o render_n of_o christ_n kingdom_n three_o you_o tell_v we_o that_o adam_n revolt_n be_v a_o sin_n direct_o against_o the_o father_n whereas_o the_o work_n of_o power_n be_v
