§. Certain Articles or Positions tending to the confutation of the Jews in this point, and the Millenaries that concur in many things with them.

1. That the Book of Daniel speaketh nothing of the state of the Jews, beyond the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus.
2. That the Revelation intendeth not the stories and times that are written in Daniel, but taketh at him and beginneth where Daniel left, to discourse the state of the new Jerusalem when the old one was ruined.
3. That the fourth Monarchy in Daniel, is not Rome, nor possibly can be, Dan. 7. 11, 12. well weighed together.
4. That the blasphemous horn in Dan. 7. 8, 25. &c. is not Antichrist, but Antiochus.
5. That Antichrist shall not be destroyed before the calling of the Jews, but shall persecute them, when they are converted, as well as he hath done the Church of the Christians: And that the slaying of the two Prophets, Rev. 11. aimeth at this very thing, to shew that Antichrist shall persecute the Church of Jews and Gentiles, when towards the end of the world they shall be knit together in profession of the Gospel.
6. That the calling of the Jews shall be in the places of their residence among the Christians, and their calling shall not cause them to chang place, but condition.
7. That Ezekiels New Jerusalem is bigger in compass by many hundreds of miles, than all the land of Canaan ever was in its utmost extent.
8. That the earth was cursed from the beginning, Gen. 3. 17. and therefore Christs Kingdom not to be of the cursed earth, Joh. 18. 36.
9. That the Kingdom everlasting that began after the destruction of the fourth beast, Dan. 2. 44. & 7. 14. 27. was the Kingdom of Christ in the Gospel, and began with the Gospel, preached among the Gentiles.
10. That the binding of Satan for a thousand years, beginneth from the same date.
11. That his binding up, is not from persecuting the Church, but from deceiving the Nations, Rev. 20. 3, 8.
12. That multitudes of those places of the Old Testament that are applied by the Jews and Millenaries, to the people of the Jews, and their earthly prosperity, do pur∣posely intend the Church of the Gentiles, and their spiritual happiness.
