Certainely there

The

the

that
are in this king-

This
kingdome mull certainely
go
on

My
brethren
we
read
in
Scripture
of
the
good tydings
of
the kingdome
:

few
things
that
I
have fpoken

when
Chili
,sva§
tifen
ägaine, we finde that the great things that
Chriíl did,it
was
to
tell
his Multiples of
the
good things
of
this kingdome of
Hea-
ven,
you know
Chrift after
his
refurreEtion
did continue
with
his
Difciples forty
dayes
:Now
you
will
fay;
What
did Chriíl
do
in thole forty dayes
?
we read
of
many
things
that Chrift
did
before
his
death, but
what have we
of
what he
did
in
thofe
forty
dayes
?
the
Scripture tells
you
that
he
did
teak
to
them
about the kingdome of Heaven,Chrift then
did
difcourfe about
this
point that
I
am now fpeaking of,
telling of them
what a
blefied
and
glorious kingdome
of
the
Meffias
they were
to
come
to,
and though
they were like
to be
Poore
in
the
world
and
defpifed,
and
be
as
nobody, yet
they were members
of
that
kingdome,
and had
the
priviledges of
it
,
and
drift
would
make
them inflrumentall
for
the
furtherance
of that
glorious kingdome,and
fo
told them
what belongs
to the
kind
dome,
The
ordinances
of
the kingdome,
the
lawes of
it,
añd
the
priviledges
of
it,
and
therefore
we find
it
that the
Dif-
ciples
before the
reCurrecófion
of Chritl, and the fhedding
abroad
of the
Spirit, they
dream'd of
a
meere
earthly
kingdome, when wilt thou
teflore the
kingdome
to
¡fr`acl,
but
when
Chrift
had
told
them
of
this kingdome
,
and
the
Spirit
was
shed
abroad
in
their hearts, they
never minded
an earthlykingdome more
:
No,
they
had done with that,tiow
they
came
to
underfland what
was
the
meaning
of the
king-
dome
of
the
Metfiah
that
Chriíl did
preach unto
them
in
the
forty dayes
that
he
was
with them before
his
Afeention.
