This is the substance of their persuasion, concerning his Coming, Person, Office and Work. When he shall come, whether he shall live always, or dye at an hundred years old, whether he shall have Children, and if he have, whether they shall succeed him in his Throne, whether all the Jews that are dead shall rise at his coming, and their Galgal, or rolling in the earth from all parts of the world into the Land of Canaan shall then happen or no, whether the general Resurrection shall not succeed immediately upon his Reign, or at least within forty years after, or how long it will be to the end of the world, they are not at all agreed. But this, as hath been declared, is the substance of their persuasion and expectation; that he shall be a mere man, and that the Deliverance which he shall effect, shall be by mighty Wars, wherein the Jews shall be always victorious, and that in the Dominion and Rule which they shall have over all Nations, the Third Temple shall be built, the Law of Moses be observed by him and them, and the Noachichal Precepts be imposed on all others. As for any Spiritual Salvation from sin and the curse of the Law, of Justification and Righteousness by him, or the procurement of Grace and Glory, they utterly reject all thoughts about them.
