I've searched* some issues in puritan era, and I've founded some Puritans were Premillenialists or Millenarists(the old term), and this in all 3 Confessional and Theological Positions: Particular Baptists, Independents/Congregationals and Presbyterians

Benjamin Keach - LBCF1689
XXXIV. WE believe that the Bodies of all Men, both the Just and Unjust, shall rise again at the last day, even the same numerical Bodies that die; though the Bodies of the Saints shall be raised immortal and incorruptible, and be made like Christ's glorious Bo∣dy: and that the dead in Christ shall rise first.
Short Confession of Faith

And that the World to come shall begin in its greatest Glory at the Resurrection, doth appear by our Saviour's own words; But they*which shall be worthy to obtain that World to come, and the Resurrection from the Dead, neither marry, nor are given in Marriage: Neither can they die any more; for they are equal unto the Angels, and are the Chil∣dren of the Resurrection. It appears, the World to come, or Kingdom of the Messiah in its greatest Glory, and the Resurrecti∣on, commence together, or at one and the same time. And this is further confirmed, because in one Place it is said, that those who follow Christ, and suffer for him, shall be rewarded at the Resur∣rection of the Just, as Luke 14. 14. And in another Place it is said, in the World to come, as Luke 18. 30.
...
2. The World to come shall be a World without Sin, a Holy World, a Righteous World: this present World is a wicked World, an ungodly World; but all the Inhabitants of that World to come shall be Holy, they shall be all filled with Righteousness: Hence it is Peter saith, We, according to his Promise, look for a new*Heaven and a new Earth, wherein dwelleth Righteousness.
3. The Government of that new World shall be alone in the Hands of the Saints, no wicked Man shall be in any Place of Power there; no corrupt Judges, nor Justices, Righteousness shall then bear Rule: The People also shall be all Righteous, they shall inherit the Land for ever, the Branch of my planting, the Work of my Hands,*that I may be glorified.—The Kingdom and Dominion, and greatness of the Kingdom under the whole Heaven, shall be given to the People of*the Saints of the most High.

A golden mine opened

Hanserd Knollys - LBCF1689
The next particular in our general Position to be explained, is the Resurre∣ction of the Body, at the Second Com∣ing of Jesus Christ: compare 1 Cor. 15.20, 22, 23. with 1 Thes. 4.16. The Lord himself shall descend from Heaven—And the Dead in Christ shall rise first.
The Dead Bodies of the Saints shall then be Raised from the Dead, that shall yet remain in their Graves: They that sleep in Jesus will God raise up; them will Jesus Christ awaken with the Trump of God, 1 Thes. 4.14. The Resurrection of the Dead hath this Order, and is described by the Apostle in this manner, to wit, Christ first, 1 Cor. 15.22, 23, 24. afterwards they that are Christ's at his Coming. But the rest of the Dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished, Rev. 20.5, 6. This is the first Resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first Resurre∣ction. They shall Reign with Christ a thousand years, and that on Earth, Rev. 5.9, 10. These Kings and Priests are the Children of the Resurrection, Luk. 20.35, 36. being the Children of God. Whose vile Bodies shall be changed and fashioned like unto Christ's glori∣ous Body. The Saints raised Bodies will be perfect, no defect, no deformity, but spiritual, and glorious, 1 Cor. 15.42, 43, 44. So is the Resurrection of the Dead; It is sown a natural Body, it is raised a spiritual Body. It is sown inPage 30dishonour, it is raised in glory. After the Saints deceased are raised, and have lived and reigned with Christ a thou∣sand years, shall be the general Resur∣rection, Rev. 20.12, 13. And I saw the Dead small and great stand before God.

Jeremiah Burroughs - DFS
Yea, and then Fourthly, The Lord promiseth to Daniel, as a peculiar and special favour unto him, that he should arise, and stand in the Lot at the end of the dayes. Now for Daniel to arise at the day of Judgment, that's a thing that is common to all, good and bad; but here it is promised to him as a special Mercy, that he shall stand up in the latter dayes in his Lot: And there∣fore, according to the Reverend Bright∣man, and others, this place is interpre∣ted of the time of the calling in of the Jews, when they and the Gentiles shall joyn together; and Jerusalem shall then be set up as the Praise of the whole Earth.

William Twisse - WCF
Preface Mede's Work on Revelation, a very premillennial Work
Many shall runne (or passe) to and fro, and knowledge shall be encreased, Dan. 12. 4. I lighted some times upon a wittie interpretation of this passage in a certain Manuscript; and the interpretation was this. That the opening of the world by Navi∣gation and Commerce, and the increase of knowledge, should meet both in one time, or age. The observation is justified by experience, howsoever Divines may judge as they see cause of the congruitie thereof unto Daniels text. And this increase of knowledge, which these latter times have brought forth, appeares in no∣thing more remarkeably, then in the interpretation of this mysterious booke, the Revelation of Saint Iohn. And as the mother of Solomon saith of the vertuous wo∣man, whom she describeth, Pro 31.29. Many daughters have done vertuously, but thou surmountest them all. In like sort may it be said of Mr Mede in reference to his Ex∣positions of the Revelation. Many Interpreters have done excellently, but he surmounteth them all.
A PREFACE written by Doctor Twisse, shewing the Methode and Excellency of Mr Medes interpretation of this My∣sterious book of the REVELATION of Saint JOHN.

John Bunyan - Non Confessional
The second also the apostle asserteth in that fourth chapter to the Hebrews, "There remaineth therefore a rest," or the keeping of a sabbath, "to the people of God" (v 9 read also vv 4-11). Which sabbath, as I conceive, will be the seventh thousand of years, which are to follow immediately after the world hath stood six thousand first: for as God was six days in the works of creation, and rested the seventh; so in six thousand years he will perfect his works and providences that concern this world. As also he will finish the toil and travel of his saints, with the burthen of the beasts, and the curse of the ground; and bring all into rest for a thousand years. A day with the Lord, is as a thousand years: wherefore this blessed and desirable time is also called "a day," "a great day," "that great and notable day of the Lord" (Acts 2:20), which shall end in the eternal judgment of the world. God hath held forth this by several other shadows, as the sabbath of weeks, the sabbath of years, and the great jubilee, which is to be the year after forty-nine years are expired (Lev 25:1-13). Of all which, more in their place, if God permit.

Ver. 4. "And the days of Adam, after he had begotten Seth, were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters."
Adam therefore, as a type of Christ, reigned in the church almost a thousand years. The world therefore beginning thus, doth shew us how it will end; namely, by the reign of the second Adam, as it began with the reign of the first.
These long-lived men therefore shew us the glory that the church shall have in the latter day, even in the seventh thousand years of the world, that sabbath when Christ shall set up his kingdom on earth, according to that which is written, "They lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years" (Rev 20:1-4). They:—Who? The church of God, according also as it was with Adam. Therefore they are said by John to be holy, as well as blessed: "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God, and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years" (v 6). In all which time the wicked in the world shall forbear to persecute, as did also the brood of wicked Cain in the days of Adam, Seth, &c. Hence therefore we find in the first place the dragon chained for these thousand years.

So, Do you know any other puritan with a premillennial view?

And Am I classifying these one correctly as premillennial?

I was doing some research the other day, just going over book titles; and coincidentally, I came across this book which stood out to me, because, at least in my limited experience, I see so few Puritan (or Puritan era) books propagating what we would consider a dispensational/premillennial slant. I havent had time to read the book; and I do not know if this person would qualify as a Puritan, or as Premillennial/Millennial, but what I have goes as follows:


MATON, ROBERT (1607–1653?), divine, was the second son of William Maton of North Tidworth, Wiltshire, and his wife Thomazin, daughter of William Hayter of Langford. He was born in 1607, probably at North Tidworth, but the registers previous to 1700 have been destroyed. He entered as a commoner at Wadham College, Oxford, in Michaelmas term 1623, aged about sixteen, matriculated 3 Nov. 1626, proceeded B.A. 25 Oct. 1627, and M.A. 10 June 1630 (Gardiner). Taking holy orders he was presented to a living, but in what county is uncertain. Wood (Athenæ Oxon.) says that he was always at heart a ‘millenary,’ but that he never made public his views until the rebellion, in which he saw a possibility of their fulfilment. He published in 1642 ‘Israel's Redemption, or the Propheticall History of our Saviour's Kingdom on Earth,’ &c., and ‘Gog and Magog, or the Battle of the Great Day of God Almightie,’ London, 1642; 2nd edit. 1646. The former work led him into some controversy, and in 1644 a reply, entitled ‘Chiliasto Mastix, or the Prophecies … vindicated from the Misinterpretations of the Millenaries, and specially of Mr. Maton,’ &c., was published at Rotterdam by Alexander Petrie, minister of the Scots church there. Maton remained an ardent believer in the literal meaning of scriptural prophecy, and in 1646 he published, in reply to Petrie, ‘Israel's Redemption Redeemed, or the Jewes generall and miraculous Conversion to the Faith of the Gospel, and Returne into their owne Land; and our Saviour's Personall Reigne on Earth cleerly proved.’ He endeavours here to show the ‘proper sense of the plagues contained under the Trumpets and Vialls.’ Wood wrongly says (ib. iii. 409) that Petrie wrote a second reply. Maton's book was republished (London, 1652) under a new title, ‘Christ's Personall Reigne on Earth One Thousand Yeares. … The Manner, Beginning, and Continuation of His Reigne clearly proved by many plain Texts of Scripture,’ &c. It was again republished as ‘A Treatise of the Fifth Monarchy’ (1655), with a portrait of Maton by Cross (Granger). Though not apparently openly connected with the Fifth-monarchy men, Maton was doubtless in sympathy with them. Of his death we have no record.

[Wood's Athenæ Oxon. ed. Bliss, iii. 409; Granger's Biog. Hist. of England, iii. 52; Steven's Hist. of the Scottish Church in Rotterdam, Edinburgh, 1832, pp. 12–14; Gardiner's Registers of Wadham Coll. Oxford, pp. 70–1; Sir Thomas Phillipps's Visitatio Heraldica Com. Wilt., 1828, catalogued under ‘Wilts,’ for Maton's pedigree.] - DNB

Here is also a list of books with the term "1000 years" included in them. May be you can find some books that will fit your inquiry. I apologize for the inconvenience of photoing the titles, but it is the only way I can conveniently convey to you the long titles for searching in EEBO-TCP if you do not have Puritan Search. If Puritan Search may help your research, you can find it here: www.puritansearch.org In many ways it is many times more useful than searching EBBO-TCP manually.

Here is also a list of books with the term "1000 years" included in them. May be you can find some books that will fit your inquiry. I apologize for the inconvenience of photoing the titles, but it is the only way I can conveniently convey to you the long titles for searching in EEBO-TCP if you do not have Puritan Search. If Puritan Search may help your research, you can find it here: www.puritansearch.org In many ways it is many times more useful than searching EBBO-TCP manually.

I've this program here.
I thought about search in it before, but I did not.

Now I will try to find and read these* works, and search more.

I haven't looked into this in a long time and have never delved into it as deeply as I would have hoped. But I remember reading in the recent biography on Jeremiah Burroughs that premillennialism was relatively common among the Independents but not among the Presbyterians, and that this was one of the differences or bones of contention between them.
 
I've searched* some issues in puritan era, and I've founded some Puritans were Premillenialists or Millenarists(the old term), and this in all 3 Confessional and Theological Positions: Particular Baptists, Independents/Congregationals and Presbyterians

Benjamin Keach - LBCF1689


Hanserd Knollys - LBCF1689


Jeremiah Burroughs - DFS


Thomas Goodwin - WCF


William Twisse - WCF

Preface Mede's Work on Revelation, a very premillennial Work


John Bunyan - Non Confessional


Marshall, Palmer and Some Independents - Secondary References by Robert Baillie




So, Do you know any other puritan with a premillennial view?

And Am I classifying these one correctly as premillennial?
Just dropping a comment to note that the premillennialists among the puritans tended to be historicists, not futurists, in their reading of Revelation. Thus, their interpretation of prophecy really had little in common with modern premillennialism, let alone dispensationalism.

Fun fact: If you read Matthew Poole's commentary on Revelation (thoroughly historicist), when he comes to the millennium, he doesn't know whether to place it before or after the return of Christ.
 
Yeah, Truthly every 16-18 century protestant theologian that I remember, every one was historicist, except Hugo Grotius
I'm myself a Partial Preterist as Grotius, but it's clear in my mind, that Partial Preterism is not a common and usual position in 16-18 century

Interesting point about Matthew Poole, I didn't know that
Thanks
 
I was doing some research the other day, just going over book titles; and coincidentally, I came across this book which stood out to me, because, at least in my limited experience, I see so few Puritan (or Puritan era) books propagating what we would consider a dispensational/premillennial slant. I havent had time to read the book; and I do not know if this person would qualify as a Puritan, or as Premillennial/Millennial, but what I have goes as follows:


MATON, ROBERT (1607–1653?), divine, was the second son of William Maton of North Tidworth, Wiltshire, and his wife Thomazin, daughter of William Hayter of Langford. He was born in 1607, probably at North Tidworth, but the registers previous to 1700 have been destroyed. He entered as a commoner at Wadham College, Oxford, in Michaelmas term 1623, aged about sixteen, matriculated 3 Nov. 1626, proceeded B.A. 25 Oct. 1627, and M.A. 10 June 1630 (Gardiner). Taking holy orders he was presented to a living, but in what county is uncertain. Wood (Athenæ Oxon.) says that he was always at heart a ‘millenary,’ but that he never made public his views until the rebellion, in which he saw a possibility of their fulfilment. He published in 1642 ‘Israel's Redemption, or the Propheticall History of our Saviour's Kingdom on Earth,’ &c., and ‘Gog and Magog, or the Battle of the Great Day of God Almightie,’ London, 1642; 2nd edit. 1646. The former work led him into some controversy, and in 1644 a reply, entitled ‘Chiliasto Mastix, or the Prophecies … vindicated from the Misinterpretations of the Millenaries, and specially of Mr. Maton,’ &c., was published at Rotterdam by Alexander Petrie, minister of the Scots church there. Maton remained an ardent believer in the literal meaning of scriptural prophecy, and in 1646 he published, in reply to Petrie, ‘Israel's Redemption Redeemed, or the Jewes generall and miraculous Conversion to the Faith of the Gospel, and Returne into their owne Land; and our Saviour's Personall Reigne on Earth cleerly proved.’ He endeavours here to show the ‘proper sense of the plagues contained under the Trumpets and Vialls.’ Wood wrongly says (ib. iii. 409) that Petrie wrote a second reply. Maton's book was republished (London, 1652) under a new title, ‘Christ's Personall Reigne on Earth One Thousand Yeares. … The Manner, Beginning, and Continuation of His Reigne clearly proved by many plain Texts of Scripture,’ &c. It was again republished as ‘A Treatise of the Fifth Monarchy’ (1655), with a portrait of Maton by Cross (Granger). Though not apparently openly connected with the Fifth-monarchy men, Maton was doubtless in sympathy with them. Of his death we have no record.

[Wood's Athenæ Oxon. ed. Bliss, iii. 409; Granger's Biog. Hist. of England, iii. 52; Steven's Hist. of the Scottish Church in Rotterdam, Edinburgh, 1832, pp. 12–14; Gardiner's Registers of Wadham Coll. Oxford, pp. 70–1; Sir Thomas Phillipps's Visitatio Heraldica Com. Wilt., 1828, catalogued under ‘Wilts,’ for Maton's pedigree.] - DNB


Also look at Nathanael Homes, 1599-1678 - Apokalypsis Anastaseaos - The Ressurection Revealed, or, The Dawnings of the Day Star to Rise and Radiate a Visible Incomparable Glory Far Beyond any since the Creation Upon the Universal Church on Earth For a Thousand Years Yet to Come; Before the Ultima.
I've found more about Robert Maton and Nathanael Holmes

Robert Manton
You see againe, that when our Saviour comes to reigne over all the earth, he comes not alone, but brings all the Saints with him. Which words as they doe establish the literall sense of the first Resurrection, mentioned in the 20. Chap. of the Rev. So they make the Kingdome of Israel, and the thousand yeares reigne of the Saints there spo∣ken of, to sunchronize and meete together, for why shall the Saints come with him, but because they have a share in this Kingdome, and are to be his assistants in it, as he told his Disciples; and as the Elders in the 5. Chap. of the Rev. at the 10. ver. said in the hearing of Saint John. Thou hast made us unto our God Kings, and Priests, and we shall reigne on earth. And this will appeare to a diligent eye, even out of the controversed place in the 20. Chap. of the Rev. for besides, that the opposition betwixt the first and the last Resurrection, doth impose the same sense on both; besides this, I say, the vision represented not unto Saint John, perfect men (at the first) that is, men that should be be∣headed for the witnesse of Jesus; but soules onely, and that as of men already beheaded: which most manifestly shewes, that the Resurrection after men∣tioned, did follow their death, and not goe be∣fore it. And therefore, may not be taken spiritu∣ally...
Israel's redemption

Nathanael Holmes
All such saints shall reign with Christ, (the kingdoms of the earth then being actually and absolutely become His kingdoms,) and visibly possess the power and dominion over the earth, for a thousand years, literally and properly taken; and Christ shall most gloriously appear, at least at the beginning and ending of that thousand years: though we cannot yet so demonstratively and infallibly hold forth, that he shall continue all that time personally present upon the earth. The Devil, in the meanwhile, shall all that time be wholly and absolutely restrained (in effects, acts, and person,) from the precincts of the Church.
The Resurrection Revealed, Nathaniel Homes
 
Another thing to note is that older covenant premils as well as some older postmils saw not only a mass conversion of the Jews but also a restoration to the promised land. This can be confusing or bewildering to many who assume that only dispensationalists believe that. (Dispensationalism as a system or whole package was new but some of the components were not new.) Some of the writers of Puritan era don’t really fit into the current categories. There are 19th and even 20th century teachers, some of them well known, that don’t fit into our usual categories either.

Yeah, I've pointed it.

It could be strange for some of us with a modern eschatology, but it's the normal pre-mil and pos-mil eschatology

Other interesting point it's that some as Benjamin Keach and Knollys see a effusion of Holy Gifts and Power in the millennium
I've read about a pos-mil that believed that persons shall die very old, like in the pre-flood time

I've seen Knollys appealed to by "Reformed Charismatics."

I think John Gill might have taught that the "sign gifts" would return in the millennium, but maybe I have him confused with another old Baptist writer. Maybe I'm thinking of J.M. Pendleton, who was postmil, I think. It has been a while since I've read old Baptist works, and by no means have I read a ton of it. There is more and more available now that things like Early English Books Online exist.

Dying very old is probably taken from Isa 65:20. It is a common text used by premils against amils. Many and perhaps most postmils today are essentially "optimistic amillennialists" who are optimistic about the progress of the gospel in this age, whereas many amils are just about as pessimistic as premils. Partial preterist postmils often don't argue for a separate millennium or golden age at the end of the age the way older postmils did.
 
Very Interesting Point
If you have any link or doc, please share
I remember seeing an essay or paper about it, but it was almost 20 years ago. I don't know if it was in a theological journal somewhere or if it was just something that someone posted online that may or may not still be online today.

I will try to find about Gill and this Pendleton (I don't know him)
John Gill and John Lightfoot are my favorite theologians

Pendleton was a Baptist theologian in the USA in the 19th Century. He is one third of the famous (or infamous) "Triumverate" of Landmark Baptist leaders. If it is a book of his that I'm thinking of, it is from his "Christian Doctrines," which is a basic or introductory theology book. (I think his views on soteriology may have been broadly Calvinistic, but he probably wasn't even a "Five Pointer" much less "Reformed" otherwise, although he probably would have had traditional views on observing the Lord's Day.) Maybe page 383 about men being raised up and going forth in the spirit and power of Elias is what I'm remembering, but I thought I remembered something more specific about miracles or what are called by some "sign gifts." He doesn't specifically say that these men will be "miracle workers" but perhaps it is implied. He cites Andrew Fuller in that paragraph, so maybe Fuller had something to say about it. (That chapter does confirm my memory of Pendleton being postmil though, and postmil of a sort rarely seen today.) So maybe it's not Pendleton and might have been someone else. I haven't read a lot of Gill, especially not in the last 15-20 years. But now that I've thought more about it, I think it was either Pendleton or some other postmil that I was thinking of, and I thought it was an interesting view at the time that I first encountered it.

You had asked about premil, so I apologize if this has gotten the thread off track.
