whereunto reftrence is afterwards often fitly made in the enfuing

p The fecond is the Irenicon ) or the ‘peaceable confideration of

I Chrifls peaceful Kingdom on Barth-to come, chiefly proving from.

Scripture. and many forts of Arguments, that fuch a Kingdom and
Rate of things {hall be in the world, upon a {even-fold foundation,
fet down in the beginning thereof. Whereunto is added an Appen-
dix of the firfi bleflEd Refurreaion of the loft, Rev.zo.6. to be in

The third is intituled. The Parallel of the Prophetiml Vifiam of D4--

couched before in Daniel's {aid Viflons, to be [hut up and fealed unto

wonderful giv'ng the Book of Revelation to the Evangelift St. 791:»,

opened and nnlealed them, and gave them a Ipecial command not to.
feel them any longer, Rev.zz.lo. Which {aid ‘ Parallel was the fourth

thing propounded to be’conlidered in this fu’bjeét, in the fecond page
of the Irenicon,‘ and afterwards, as an Additional thereof, was anne-
xed toit, to makeup that part of the {aid Irenic‘on, :5 containing the
main-ground thereof, boch from that greatly beloved Prophet Daniel
in the Old Tei’tament, and the beloved Difciple 70.611 in the New :
To prepare for which Parallel (being of {0 very great concernment
inthe {aid Doétrine) firfi there is let down an abridgement Oi the

will convince themfelves which, were the concealerséand hiders ; and

Worldsviz. Of David’s Kingdom raifed by Géd from a low beginning,
to become great, like the great men of the Earth, as God {peaketh of
it, ,2. 5402.7. though as a man that flied much blood, in a warring con-
dition, till God gave him peace in the end, (ac. And of Solomon’s
Kingdom, that peaceful Prince, when his'Subjeé’ts were {aid to {it un-

the worlds view, taking our nature, was little regardedof them, cal-
iCd commonly; The Son ,Of 70/epb and Mar], and afterwards dilgracer-
fully, The Galilean, from which Countrey they expeaed no good to

even his own Kindred believed no: on him 3thongh elpecially amongfi
them, both before his birth, at his birth, and afterwards, glorious and
radiant Beams of Di vine Majefly wonderfullyriflione Ont in himfi where-

by God evidently manil’efled, and wrote as it were with a fun beam of 7_ ‘

Light (as was alio plainly told ) That that Child before promiled and
prophefied {0 often tocome,‘ was his own and oner Sen. . ,
2. After DaVid’s Kingdom began, there was at hrfl no outward

reproba'bility appearing to Band againfi King Sanl 3 raving that 34“;

mull make David’s fi;l’t el‘tate appear to be the beginning of a’ very pii
‘ tifnl Principality. So when the ufurping god of this prefent world,
andthat moflty'rannous Princeolthe power of the Air, was by
.Chriflto be thrown down, from his "Regency, afie‘rhis {6"long 'and‘

‘the world in the form of a. Servant, wasbor-n of a Mother 2 Virgin“.
but in a prefent mean condition, though inwardly glorious in huhncfs
and grace, though lineally defcended from the Loyns of King Davide

how he {hou‘d be able, to overcome that old Realm/rub, the Prince of "

But that he was his Type, 7 his Name denotes, his Olfice, his Works,

his executing of Judgment, his Peoples Peace, Plenty, Security, under
him, we. which he walked wifely, and flood upright, do abundantly

Firth In Gods Meflage, verf.8. He direéts the Prophet Nathan to
make to Davida rehearfal of mercies pali; namely, How he exalted

fhim from a lqw eflate, even from the Sheep~coat, from following the
_ it’sfghecrpk toan excejllentDignity; not onely to be a Ruler in ordinary

way, but that, Which added much to his exaltation and honour, was,

great things formerly had been done by God, upon whom his Name
was called. , . , ‘

Secondly, Verflg. Heminds him how he had been with him in a
fpetialmanner in a way of grace, to wit, to be for him, and again?!
his Enemies; and f3 eifeélually as to cut them all off in his own fight,
and that thereuponhe had made him a great Name, as the great Men
that are upon the Earth. a .

Thirdly, Verflro. He fets down (as in a Parenthefis) a mofl- won-
derful mercy promil‘ed to his faid People, long after to take place, and
to be in fulfilling to the end of the world : laying, 1 will appoint a

Plate (not what he had done before, or unto that time (as afterwards is '

And verf.r I. in the beginning of it, he adds another difliné‘e time 'A
