Christs personall reigne on earth, one thousand yeares with his saints the manner, beginning, and continuation of his reigne clearly proved by many plain texts of Scripture, and the chiefe objections against it fully answered, explaining the 20 Revelations and all other Scripture-prophecies that treat of it : containing a full reply to Mr. Alexander Petrie ... who wrote against ... Israels redemption / by Robert Maton.

Israel's Redemption.

For though this of Hosea be understood by some Expositours of the vocation of the Gentiles, [ 22] that is, of the Christian Church in these our dayes; yet doubtlesse, they are much mistaken in this exposition, for seeing this and the former Prophecie concerne one and the same thing, to wit, the uniting of all the Tribes un∣der one King, therefore they must needs receive their accomplish∣ment at one and the same time: and so this must be referr'd to the Jewes, as well as the other.

Mr. Petrie's Answer.

This is a quarrell against the Apostle: and now let all the world judge, whether he or the Millenaries being contrary shall be followed, especially seeing now we have found, that our Saviour exponing the former Pro∣phecie of Ezekiel, and the Apostle exponing this like Prophecie of Hosea, doe accord harmoniously.

Reply.

That we neither quarrell with the Apostle, nor with any man else, may be seene by our words; for of the Apostle we speake not, and the worst that we say of others, is, that they are mistaken: and whether this be so worthy to be cal'd a quarrell, as your cal∣ling

it a quarrell against the Apostle, is to be cal'd an egregious untruth, [let all the world judge,] and let it judge it too, whether our Saviours words in the 10. chap. of St. John, doe expound the former Prophecie of Ezekiel, of which he speakes not a word. And though the Apostle alledgeth some of the words of this Pro∣phecie, yet it is not to shew that the Prophecie is to be understood of the Gentiles, but to shew that God did reject some and choose others of the Israelites, as he pleased.
