Every Age hath it's peculiar work, hath it's peculiar light. Now what is the light which God manifestly gives in, in our days? surely not new doctrines, (as some pretend) indeed old errors, and long since exploded fancies. Plainly the peculiar light of this generation, is that discovery which the Lord hath made to his people, of the mystery of Civill and Ecclesiastical Tyranny. The opening, unravelling, and revealing the Antichristian interest, interwoven, and coupled together in civill, and spiritual things, into a State opposite to the kingdom of the Lord Jesus, is the great discovery of these days. Who almost is there amongst us now, who doth not evidently see, that for many generations, the Western Nations have been Juggled into spiritual and civill slavery, by the legerdemain of the Whore, and the Potentates of the Earth, made drunk with the cup of her Abominations? How the whole Earth hath been rolled in confusion, and the Saints hurried out of the world, to give way to their combined interest? Hath not God unveiled that Harlot, made her naked, and discovered her abominable filthiness? Is it not evident to him that hath but half an eye, that the whole present Constitution of the Governments of the Nations, is so cemented with Antichristian mortar from the very top to the bottom, that without a through shaking they cannot be ⟨p. 36⟩cleansed? This then plainly discovers, that the work which the Lord is a doing, relates to the untwining of this close combination against himself, and the kingdom of his dear Son, and he will not leave until he have done it.
