Rev. 22 16. that god will dwell on the earth and for a sure evidence of the same saith the Text J Jesus have sent mine Angel to testifie unto you these things in the Churches which things Peter questioned not but to his Church said Beloved seeing that yee look for such things be diligent that yee may be found in peace without spot and blameless And to any Church that shall question these things 2 Pet. 3.14 saith John These sayings are faithful and true for I Iohn saw and heard these things Rev. 22.6 16 18 and J testifie unto every man that heareth the words of the Prophesie of this book wheresoever it is published that if any man shal add too or take away from the words of the Prophesie of this book God shal take away his part out of the book of life and also take away his Part out of the holy City which City saith the Text lyeth four-square the length is as the bredth Rev. 21.16 twelve thousand furlongs the squares lye East West North and South The East and West are derived from the antipodes of the rising and setting of the Sun in the firmamental heavens created on the fourth day The North and the South are derived from the antipodes of the two ends of the worlds Axletree called the North and south pole or the two frozen Zones of the earth by reason of the suns obscurity and distance This City is to be on earth because it lyeth four-square East West North and south It is walled about and so bounded The length is as the bredth twelve thousand furlongs which is fifteen hundred miles The Text saith in it there shall be no need of the sun But the Text doth
