Publisher's Synopsis
An Exposition of the Mystery which was kept secret since the world began; wherein the Doctrine of the Holy Trinity is manifested in the Glory-Man, the Lord JESUS, and that Christ's bearing the Iniquity of our Sin in his Sufferings was the Atonement he made to God for the Elect; set forth against the Socinian and Neonomian triumphs, and against some other Cowardly Professions. It is likewise demonstrated that an Interest in Christ is built alone upon the Free, Absolute and Everlasting Love of the Father, Son, and Spirit, towards an elect Remnant in Christ Jesus, against the Arminians. And therein is some account given of the Mystery of the Elect and their Union in Christ Jesus before the Foundation of the World; proving that their Free Grace Union according to God's Ancient Settlements was never, as to the Comprehensive and Supreme Relation of the elect in Jesus Christ destroyed by their Subordinate Nature-Fall in Adam. To these things are added a Vindication of the Excellency of God's Free Grace against the whole Arminian Scheme. And lastly, the Spiritual Operations of the Holy Ghost are Vindicated, as the Immediate spring, Life and source of all True Religion.OccasionedBy divers Notorious Errors in the writings of Mr. John Hunt of Northampton, and many other Writers, Preachers and Professors of the Gospel on most sides; who instead of increasing on the Foundation at this day, have shamefully cast off the First Faith. And that now when the Water of the Euphrates, or the Power of the Turk since the Peace of Carlowitz, {Treaty of Carlowitz, 1699, } hath been eminently dried up, so as not to overflow the Western Monarchy as heretofore; and now likewise, although for the elect's sake, God has shortened the days, upon the rising of the Two Witnesses in England, who rose and stood upon their Feet in this Street of the great City, where they had been slain in their open Testimony of Experimental Truth; yea, to make way for the coming of the Glorious Kingdom of Christ, we have seen the Seventh Angel in the Ministry of Christ, {presently for Dispatch since this last Liberty, } pouring forth his vial into the Air, which hath cried with a great voice out of the Temple of Heaven, from the Throne of the Glory-Man, IT IS DONE; all is done in Christ Jesus before believing; and on this has been further uttered, the Kingdoms of this World are become the Kingdoms of our LORD, and of his Christ, and he shall Reign forever and ever. Nevertheless Deserters of the Faith, even so far as was believed to be the Last Age, by their unbelieving VOICES from the Pulpit, and angry THUNDERS awing the people, have drowned the Report of the Seventh Angel. Time now for more LIGHTNINGS to come forth after them, towards the Advance of a Spiritual Reformation breathed after.By JOSEPH HUSSEY, a Poor Despised Servant of JESUS CHRIST, and Pastor of the Congregational Church of Christ at Cambridg
