That there shall be a General conversion of the Tribes of Israel, is a truth which in some measure hath been known, and believed in all ages of the Church of God, since the Apostles days. For proof whereof it might easily be showed that the (a)Ancients (Fathers as they are called) did many of them so believe. Yea even in the dark times of Popery, sundry (b)of the School-men did assert this truth. And since the glorious light of the everlasting Gospel hath (according to the Scriptures) broke forth to the consuming of the man of sin, this amongst many other precious and holy truths, hath been abundantly born witness unto by the chief (c)Reformers of Religion in this and the last Century. Nor is it so much doubted of at this day, as heretofore •t hath been. But there is another thing asserted in the subsequent Discourse which seemeth a Paradox unto not a few, that is to say, the notion of the Chiliad.
