Thirdly, observe this, that if Christ should come on the Earth for a thousand years, then Christ would leave the Church after that thousand years for a while, in a worse condition, then he found it▪ and I draw it from that Text which they pretend to be the strength of their Argument, Revel. 20. 5, 7, 8. But the rest of the Dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished This is the first resurrection, and when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his Prison; And shall go out to deceive the Nations which are in the four quarters of the Earth, G•g and Magog, to gather them together to Battle, the number of whom is as the Sand of the sea. So that after the thousand years, the Devil shall be let loose again, and there shall be an innumerable company of enemies, and they shall destroy multitudes of the godly; Therefore Christ would leave his Church in a worse condition then he found them, if this were true that Christ should reign a thousand years upon the Earth.
