2. That when Christ comes, He ⟨p. 38⟩will Restore all his holy Ordinances unto their Primitive Power and Purity; yea unto an higher and greater degree of Excellency, than in the Apostles Days. God will not only give his Churches of Saints Pastors according to his own heart, which shall feed them with knowledge and understanding, Jer. 3.14, 15. but HE will also pour out his Spirit upon Sons and Daughters; and upon the Servants, and upon the Hand-maids also God will pour out his Spirit, Joel 2.28, 31, 32. Before the great and terrible DAY of the LORD come. The LORD will vouchsafe unto his Churches such Anointing of his holy Spirit, as the Apostle John witnesseth and recorded, 1 Joh. 2.20, 27. But ye have an Unction from the holy ONE, and ye know all things, &c. Read v. 27. and Joh. 6.45. & Isa. 54.13. & Jer. 31.34 It is written in the Prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. And not only be instructed and led by the holy eternal Spirit into the sound and saving Knowledge of all the Truths in God's written Word, as the Truth is in Jesus; but they shall see with their Eyes ⟨p. 39⟩those things fulfilled, which they have read and heard out of the written Word of God, Matth. 24.33, 34, 35. That Gospel Ordinance of Praising God, will then be with greater spiritualness, and with more heavenly mindedness performed, in the General Assembly and Church of the first Born, where all the Sons of God shall sing together, even all the Saints and Angels shall celebrate the high Praises of God together. Read Rev. 5.11, 12, 13
