Now the Church never yet found such a state suitable to those promises and predictions; some great thing remains to be accomplished, which the world hath not yet seen, nor the Church experienced. But that Truth that will not lye, that Truth which cannot lye, has assured it. The Mystery of God shall be finished, Rev. 10.7. The Church hath hitherto been gasping in the fire, and in the water; she has lived, but as wrapped in a winding-sheet; the Saints under the Altar have cried a long time for the vengeance of the Temple to recompense their blood. There is a time when this Lazarus, that hath lain begging at the door of the rich and mighty, shall be mounted up to a better state. Zion shall enjoy a Resurrection, and fling off all badges of a Funeral. For the Highest himself shall establish her.
