Beasts which in Ezechiel's Mircavah the Jews will have to be the Emblems of the four great Monarchies in Daniel even these four Beasts and the Elders of Presbyters with all the Angels of Heaven and all the Creatures of Heaven and Earth and of the Sea and under the Earth how long or how far this may reach I know not all shall fall down about the Throne giving Honour and Blessing and Praise to him that sitteth on the Throne and to the Lamb for ever and ever And the four Beasts again in special say Amen There is much spoken of a Personal Reign of Christ upon Earth I do not affirm it yet I believe there is more much more for it then I have yet seen in any of the many Writers on Daniel or the Revelation And beside the Judgment of so many if not all the Orthodox in Iustin Martyr's time there be some very antient almost Apostles that relate how our Saviour himself discoursed of this Kingdom which the Acts do but Intimate But for my part I do acknowledg my self to be so ambitious as to expect somewhat much higher and better then his bodily Presence which yet I long for as the Captive hasteth to be loosed But this would please or profit little without Life and Power and Real Light above our Doubts Disputes or Demonstrations Nor would this much profit man or please God I think without true Love proportionate to such a Light The first Paradice had one River parted into four Streams and one Tree of Knowledg but of Evil rather than Good The new Paradice shall have many Rivers of Knowledg to cover the Earth and many Trees of Knowledg also whose very Leaves shall heal the Nations what then shall their Fruit be but Resurrection from the Dead I see so much of this vain World that I cannot but earnestly desire and long for a new Earth and for new Heavens but yet I should not value or desire them much were it not that in these I hope to see more Iustice and more Mercy Is not that the World to come of which the Hebrews and our Saviour speak as pardoning all but one Sin The Phrase is common with the Jews who do expect it on Earth and the Prophets make it a pardoning World to come so that the Inhabitants shall not say they are Sick for their Iniquities shall be forgiven I must confess my Hope is that he that bid us still forgive so much that we might be like our Father meaneth himself to forgive very much being himself the Founder and great Patron of that great Order of Christians whose Badg is this Conquer thy self and others Evil by doing Good Elijah must level his Way and many if not all the Antients thought Elijah yet to come which our Saviour also seemeth to intimate with that at his Transfiguration And the Jews repeat the Verse of the Prophet Malachi which seemeth also to speak of two Days and all Elijah's Work was hardly fulfilled at Christ's first Coming However when that Levelling is over and past the Lamb shall come of another Spirit For the Son of Man came not to destroy but save He is the Prince of Peace And when he shall come to Conquer He will come on a White Horse and shall ride on Prospering because of Meekness with Truth and Righteousness He will have Mercy and not Sacrifice and that will please him more than all burnt Offerings He will make our Officers Peace and our Exactors Righteousness For Violence shall be no more But a King shall Rule in Judgment and a Man shall be an hiding Place from Storm and Tempest I will hear what the Lord God will speak For he will speak Peace as well as Truth to his People and to his Saints that they may no more return to Folly or have Cause to Blush Mercy and Truth shall meet together Righteousness and Peace shall kiss each other Truth shall spring out of the Earth but Mercy this the Jews called Righteousness shall come down from Heaven for the Kingdom of God confisteth in Peace and Ioy as well as Righteousness For the Fruit of Righteousness is Peace and Assurance for ever being sown in Peace of them that make Peace Such is the Wisdom from above and such are the Fruits of the Holy Spirit What shall we say then to the Messenger of the Nation or to the Angel spoyling Edom and Babylon What That the Lord hath founded Sion and the Poor of his People shall trust in it He will leave an afflicted poor People and they shall trust in the Name of the Lord and then will he give them a pure Language that they may all call upon him with one Consent Thou hast indeed smitten Edom and Babylon Let not thine Heart lift thee up for why wilt thou meddle to thine own Ruine that thou shouldest also fall thou and all Juda with thee Shall the Sword devour for ever Knowest thou not that it will be Bitterness in the latter end How long shall it be then ere thou bid the People return from persuing their Brethren Again and yet again I bow my Soul and Pray and humbly Beg That all may be both Iust and Iustly done Not with Justice only but with Pitty and great Compassion and much Mercy for in many things we fail all I say that the Commons also failed to the Common-wealth But to speak freely altho I will not Judg the Commons yet I cannot Justifie that House but I must also Condemn what was lately done to them also even to the House of Commons by that Army which hath often been acknowledged to have both served and saved them from Ruine or Slavery I desire not to dispute matter of Fact nor can I Judg it It is true that by express Law besides all of Reason and Nature there should be no Force of Arms near or so much as in appearance of overawing the Parliament and I looked on it as an heavy Charge on some that perswaded the Scots or the Northern Army to look as if they would have moved towards the City and Parliament against its Will Nor can we forget it was so late that the House voted it Treason to act by Command of Parliament under a visible Force But how shall wee know or discern this visible Force They may be Free under that which I may think a Force and therefore I must believe them to be Free unless they declare themselves to be Forced For by Judging what is the Priviledg of Parliament I may certainly break their Priviledg while I inveigh against others for so doing and by this incur the Danger of those that Judg before the time or out of Place for I suppose I see 100 of the Commons seized and secured I cannot Judg it a Breach of Priviledg because I know not but it might be done by the Command Order or Consent of Parliament till it declare the contrary Or if not by Order of Parliament yet it may be by some
