VVHat Mankinde was, is, and shall be.

What the Serpent is, that caused Adams fall, and whence he sprang.

The Serpent is not Gods Creature.

When all creatures, except Man, are to be dissol∣ved into nothing.

Seven Dispensations which God will have Man∣kind to passe through before he subdue the Ser∣pent under the feet thereof, and what they are.

The Citie Sion, or the Elect, are in gathering up to God in six of those dispensations, in every sea∣son of time; and in the seventh the mystery of God shall be finished, and not till then.

The Citie Sion, or the Elect, shall first be taken up to God, afterwards they that were cast into ever∣lasting fire, while the Elect were in gathering, shall be redeemed, and partake of the glory of the Citie.

What is meant by everlasting fire, and the word, for ever and ever, so often used in Scripture.

God is honoured in the salvation of Beleevers, and in the losse and shame of unbeleevers.

God hates none but the Serpent and his seed; hee loves every branch of mankinde, and in his owne seasons wil manifest his love to every one, though to some at the ninth, some at the tenth, and some at the last houre.

How the Serpent under the names of Beast, Whore and false Prophet, makes use of that time God hath given him.

The bitternesse that is in mens spirits in these dayes, is the smoak of the Serpents torment, the restlesnesse of that wicked one day and night, and beginning of his sorrowes.
