Seasonable truths in evil-times in several sermons / lately preached in and about London

But seventhly, is it not a great matter for us to reign with Christ a thousand years? Such a thing there is promised in Revel. 20. I will not now debate how and in what manner it shall be made good: but this is certain, there is such a thing promised, as reigning with Christ a thousand ⟨p. 72⟩years. Who is that promised to? vers. 4. such as those that suffer for the Name of Christ: And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them. And I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the Word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands▪ and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Now is it not an hundred times better to live and reign with Christ a thousand years in the day of glory, then to have some particular worldly interest together for the present? Sure it is.

Now put all these seven things together: why every •ne of them is a great matter, but put them all together, and you cannot but say we shall have a thousand-fold in this life.

I but mark, the Apostle tells us we shall have an hundred-fold in the fame kind, in this life: how can that be?
