1. In general; for then the Ransomed of the LORD shall return and come to Zion with Songs, and everlasting Joy, &c. Isa. 35.10. Then shall be the confluence of all spiritual Comforts to the Church and People of God, Isa. 60.1, 2, 3, 7, 13, 19-22. The LORD shall be thy everlasting Light, and thy God thy Glory, vers. 19. All the promises of Grace and Glory shall then be performed, which are in Christ Yea, and in Christ Amen, to the praise and glory of God, 2 Cor. 1.20. And then all Prophecies relating to the Churches Spiritual Glory, shall be fulfilled, Act. 3.19-21. which God hath spoken by the mouth of his holy Prophets. Then will be a superabundant pouring out of the Spirit, Joel 2.28. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your Sons and your Daughters shall prophesy; your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. And God will graciously prevent the Prayers of his Saints, Isa. 65.17, 24. It shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and whilst they are yet speaking, I will hear. All the Sons & Daughters of God will then be of one ⟨p. 43⟩Heart, and of one Mind, Jer. 32.39, 40. Then all sanctified Believers will come in the Unity of the Spirit to a perfect Man, Eph. 4.13. And in that Day there shall be ONE LORD, and his Name One in all the Earth, Zech. 14.9. & Zeph. 3.9. And They shall serve the LORD with one consent. And then Honour, Dignity and Renown shall be given to the Church of God, to Religion, to Religious persons, and to all holy things,
