Good News for the Israel of God, and particular∣ly for His New-English Israel! If the Devils Time were above a Thousand Years ago, pronounced, Short, What may we suppose it now in Our Time? Surely We are not a Thousand Years distant from those Hap∣py Thousand Years of rest and peace, and [which is better] Holiness, reserved for the people of God in the latter days; and if we are not a Thousand Years, yet short of that Golden Age, there is cause to think, that we are not an Hundred. That the blessed Thousand Years are not yet begun, is abundantly clear from this, We do not see the Devil bound; No, the Devil was never more let Loose than in our Days; and it is very much that any should imagine other∣wise: Page  37 But the same thing that proves the Thousand Years of Prosperity for the Church of God, UN∣DER THE WHOLE HEAVEN, to be not yet Begun, do's also prove, that it is not very Far Off; and that is the prodigious Wrath with which the Devil do's in our Days Prosecute, yea, Desolate the World. Let us cast our Eyes almost where we will, and we shall see the Devils Domi∣neering at such a rate as may justly fill us with a∣stonishment; it is Quaestionable whether Iniquity ever were so Rampant, or whether Calamity were ever so Pungent, as in this Lamentable Time; We may truly say, Tis the Hour and the Power of Darkness. But, tho' the Wrath be so Great, the Time is but Short: when we are perplexed with the Wrath of the De∣vil, the Word of our God at the same time unto us, is that, in Rom. 16. 20. The God of Peace shall bruise Satan under your feet SHORTLY. SHORTLY, didst thou say, Dearest Lord! O! Gladsome word! A∣men, Even so, Come, Lord! Lord Iesus, Come Quic•…∣ly! We shall never be rid of this Troublesome Devil, till, Thou do come to Chain him up!

But because the people of God, would willingly be told Whereabouts we are with reference to the Wrath and the Time, of the Devil, you shall give me leave humbly to set before you a few, Conject∣ures.
