1. The Officers, the Ministry in the saved Tribes of Israel will be very spiritual. Then will the Lord clothe his Priests with righteousness, Psal. 13•.9. See Mal. 3.3. He shall sit as a refiner and p• rifier of silver, he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness. There shall be a wonderful spiritual glory upon the Ministers of God in those days, Dan. 12.3. Those that be (z)Teachers shall shine as the brightness of the Firmament, and they that turn many to righteousness as the Stars for ever and ever. ⟨p. 115⟩As 'tis said of John Baptist, that he was a burning and a shining light; so shall all the Ministers of God be in that day which is hastening apace; They shall be set in a brighter firmament of Church-estate, than ever yet was in the world, and their shining shall be answerable. To be sure, there shall in that day be no (a)more Chemarims, no more of those black Priests which wear the marks of Baal about them continually▪ I marvel not that that sort of men are enemies unto these truths; If they could hinder it, Ministers should never preach of them, people should never hear of them, nor one nor other should ever dive into them. Why? their guilty-self-condemned hearts misgive them, that when this day cometh they must ••ll, when Zion awaketh to put on her beautiful garments, and to shake her self from the dust, Woe to Babylon, and to all the Babylonish brood! they shall perish from off this earth, and from under these heavens.
