Revelation20:6
Verſe 6. Bleſſed and happy is he] The holy only have part in this reſurrection, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. and are therefore happy, or out of harms-way, as the word ſignifies.
The ſecond death hath no power] For they are brought from the jaws of death to the joyes of eternall life, where is mirth without mourning, riches without ruſt, &c.
But they ſhall be Prieſts] See the Note on Chap. 1.6.
They ſhall raign] The righteous are Kings, Mat. 13.17. compared with Luk. 10.24. Many righteous is the ſame with Many Kings. See the Note on ver. 4.
A thouſand years] Theſe thouſand years begin (ſaith Maſter Brightman) where the former ended, that is in the year 1300. whereby continuance thereof is promiſed for a thouſand years forward, among ſome of the Gentiles: and how long it ſhall raign afterwards among the Jews, he onely knows that knows all.
