The marrow of Christianity, or, A spirituall discovery of some principles of truth meet to be knowne of all the saints : represented in ten sections / by T. Collier ; whereunto is added an epistle, written by M. Saltmarsh.

SECTION V. Quest. When he shall be ruined?

Answ. FIrst, in the mystery and spirits of the Saints, as Jesus Christ comes in, and shines gloriously in the spirit; so shall Anti∣christ be discovered, and destroyed: and so he hath received a great blow already in this Nati∣on, through the shinings in of Jesus Christ in the spirit amongst many of his Saints, so that this is the time of Antichrists ruine, when Jesus Christ comes in; & takes place in the spirit of his people, and the Kingdome of Christ increaseth, so the Kingdome of Antichrist decayeth and consumeth.

Secondly, Antichrist shall be destroyed when the everlasting Gospell shall be preached; that is, when the Angell flyeth through the middest of Heaven preaching the everlasting Gospell; that is, when the Ministers of the Gospel shal come forth with their full, and heavenly discoveries of God in the spirit, being permitted to preach the Gospel by the earthly power in all places with liberty: For, much hath been don already by the witnesses pro∣phesyng in sack cloth: that is, almost always in dan∣ger of a civill persecution; and much ignorance of the mystery of the Gospel, which hath caused them to prophesie in sac-cloth; yet they have had pow∣er, to cause fire to come from Heaven, as oft as they

please, burning up all Antichristian formes, and invented delusions: And then, what will be done, think you, when the Ministers of the Gospell shall come forih in the full and bright discoveries of the Gospel, with liberties here below for the publish∣ing of it.

Thirdly, Antichrist shall be destroyed, when the witnesses have been slaine, & laine dead three dayes; (that is a short space) then a tenth part of the City shall fall, and the rest shall have their time prolonged; but, for a time & a season. The first woe is almost past; behold, a second, and third woe cometh quickly: wait, and it will come apace.

Thus have I from the light of Truth, with as much brevity as may be, in some measure, hinted at this Man of sinne, this mystery of Iniquity, with his reign, ruine, with the meanes and time.
