Yea 2ly. There w•ll a time come when the Israel of God shall be saved from all outward afflictions: Not only from persecution and oppression from men, but […] all external and corporal calamities: And […] shall be upon earth too; for I am not speaking of that salvation which the elect of God shall […] eternally after the end ⟨p. 120⟩shall come, but of what shall be upon earth sometime before Jesus Christ hath delivered up his Mediatory kingdom. Now I say there will a time come when upon earth the Israel of God shall be wholly freed from affliction, Zeph. 3.15. Thou shalt not see evil any more, Isa. 61. Beg. liberty shall be proclaimed to the captives, the opening of the prison to them that are bound, and to them that mourn in Zion shall be given beauty for ashes, joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. So that after the time cometh that the Jews shall mourn, that they shall look upon him whom they have pierced and mourn bitterly, they shall no more lie in the ashes of affliction and outward calamity. See Chap. 51.11. sorrow and mourning shall flee away: Affliction shall vanish. And hence it is said of the new Jerusalem, Rev. 21.4. God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no sorrow, nor crying, nor any more pain, for the former things are passed away.
