THE CONTENTS.
Chap. I. THE Kingdom of Christ as described in the Scripture. Chap. II. An Answer to Mr. Tho. Beverley's Twelve Principles, and much of his Catechism of the Millennium, necessitated by his many provocations, and challenge to all the Doctors and Pastors of the Church, and his censure of Dissenters as Semi-Sadducees of the Apostasy. His first Principle examined. Of delivering up the Kingdom to the Father. Christs Kingdom began before the (disputed) Thousand years, proved. His Enemies much subdued before. What is meant by Giving up the Kingdom? The longer continuance of Christs Kingdom, proved. Of Christs being subject to the Father. And God All in All. Whether it be true that Christ was eternally a Man, having an eternal Kingdom as Man; but not as the Son of Man after the Millennium? Whether out Union with God and Christ, Joh. 17. be that Then God shall be All in All as before the World began? Whether we were in God before the World began, and how? The tendency of this Doctrine. Of Mr. T. B's ambiguous Language. His 2d, 3d, 4th, 5th and 6th Principles. The 7th Principle. That those found on Earth shall be presently caught up at the Lords Coming, and not stay a Thousand years after; proved fully: And the limitation of a Thousand years confuted. ⟨image 4⟩The 8th Principle. The Thousand years further confuted. The 9th Principle more of the Giving up the Kingdom. The 10th, 11th and 12th Principles. Of the Fifth Monarchy, &c. More of Mr. B's. Ambiguities. Chap. III. Of those Millenaries that place the Thousand years Reign before the Conflagration. Chap. IV. That the Ten Tribes will never be found and called, if they never were so heretofore. Chap. V. The Ten Tribes were not lost nor extinct, proved. Chap. VI. What Conversion the Twelve Tribes have already had? Chap. VII. Whether there be any Jerusalem Monarchy of Jews, or any further Conversion of them, more than of other men promised by God? The pretended proofs examined. Chap. VIII. Reasons for the Negative humbly offered to Trial. And some Objections answered. Chap. IX. Of the New Earth; what is certain, and what uncertain?
