shall_v be_v make_v the_o praise_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n than_o there_o shall_v be_v new_a heaven_n and_o a_o new_a earth_n create_v that_o be_v there_o shall_v be_v as_o great_a a_o change_n of_o thing_n as_o if_o there_o be_v new_a heaven_n and_o new_a earth_n create_v there_o shall_v be_v a_o mighty_a glorious_a power_n of_o god_n manifest_v towards_o his_o church_n as_o if_o god_n be_v create_v new_a heaven_n and_o new_a earth_n again_o oh_o we_o do_v not_o know_v but_o that_o either_o you_o or_o some_o of_o your_o child_n may_v yet_o live_v to_o see_v such_o time_n as_o these_o be_v and_o it_o be_v another_o world_n indeed_o it_o be_v not_o the_o world_n that_o we_o live_v in_o now_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o kind_n of_o new_a world_n and_o therefore_o some_o scripture_n that_o many_o time_n we_o think_v be_v mean_v concern_v the_o life_n in_o heaven_n after_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n because_o they_o be_v speak_v of_o another_o world_n they_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n here_o in_o this_o world_n and_o to_o the_o end_n that_o i_o may_v show_v this_o for_o otherwise_o all_o that_o be_v say_v be_v but_o in_o vain_a it_o may_v be_v you_o will_v say_v that_o the_o prophet_n mean_v that_o state_n of_o the_o church_n triumphant_a in_o heaven_n and_o so_o the_o apostle_n st._n john_n in_o his_o reference_n to_o what_o the_o prophet_n say_v he_o seem_v to_o mean_v it_o of_o the_o glorious_a state_n of_o the_o church_n in_o heaven_n and_o i_o very_o believe_v the_o most_o of_o you_o that_o have_v read_v with_o observation_n the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o book_n of_o the_o revelation_n you_o have_v think_v it_o have_v be_v mean_v of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n in_o heaven_n but_o that_o it_o can_v be_v be_v mean_v i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o reason_n or_o two_o why_o the_o 21_o of_o the_o revelation_n can_v be_v mean_v of_o the_o church_n in_o heaven_n first_o because_o the_o text_n say_v that_o jerusalem_n shall_v come_v down_o from_o heaven_n after_o he_o have_v describe_v it_o in_o the_o 10_o verse_n he_o carry_v i_o away_o in_o the_o spirit_n to_o a_o great_a and_o high_a mountain_n and_o show_v i_o that_o great_a city_n the_o holy_a jerusalem_n descend_v out_o of_o heaven_n from_o god_n that_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o jerusalem_n shall_v not_o come_v from_o the_o earth_n nor_o from_o any_o earthly_a mean_n though_o man_n ought_v to_o do_v what_o they_o can_v yet_o it_o shall_v be_v too_o great_a a_o glory_n for_o any_o earthly_a mean_n to_o be_v able_a to_o bring_v but_o it_o shall_v come_v down_o from_o heaven_n there_o shall_v be_v some_o admirable_a glorious_a work_n of_o god_n from_o heaven_n to_o bring_v jerusalem_n into_o such_o glory_n as_o it_o shall_v be_v bring_v into_o and_o that_o be_v one_o thing_n that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o state_n of_o heaven_n for_o it_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o then_o beside_o that_o that_o be_v a_o undeniable_a reason_n be_v that_o which_o you_o have_v in_o the_o 24_o and_o 26_o verse_n and_o the_o nation_n of_o they_o which_o be_v save_v shall_v walk_v in_o the_o light_n of_o it_o and_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n do_v bring_v their_o glory_n and_o honour_n into_o it_o they_o do_v not_o bring_v their_o honour_n to_o the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n triumphant_a in_o heaven_n the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n shall_v have_v no_o need_n of_o any_o of_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n the_o mean_a poor_a servant_n or_o boy_n that_o be_v godly_a shall_v be_v more_o glorious_a than_o all_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n ever_o be_v in_o this_o world_n but_o this_o be_v such_o a_o state_n that_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v bring_v their_o glory_n to_o it_o and_o in_o the_o 26_o verse_n they_o shall_v bring_v the_o glory_n and_o honour_n of_o the_o nation_n into_o it_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o when_o this_o time_n come_v the_o lord_n will_v make_v all_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o be_v some_o way_n serviceable_a to_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o church_n that_o be_v the_o plain_a meaning_n of_o it_o that_o whereas_o now_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o nation_n do_v persecute_v the_o church_n general_o and_o as_o in_o the_o second_o psalm_n you_o have_v it_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n they_o combine_v themselves_o together_o against_o jesus_n christ_n and_o will_v none_o of_o his_o government_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o the_o lord_n say_v that_o he_o will_v set_v his_o king_n upon_o his_o holy_a hill_n and_o then_o here_o be_v the_o prophecy_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v such_o a_o work_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o king_n and_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n as_o they_o shall_v all_o come_v in_o and_o bring_v their_o glory_n to_o jerusalem_n to_o the_o church_n to_o do_v the_o uttermost_a they_o can_v to_o make_v the_o church_n to_o be_v glorious_a this_o be_v in_o general_n the_o state_n of_o jerusalem_n when_o it_o shall_v be_v make_v the_o praise_n of_o the_o earth_n but_o now_o that_o i_o may_v come_v to_o move_v particular_n about_o this_o the_o first_o thing_n be_v this_o when_o that_o time_n shall_v come_v all_o tear_n shall_v be_v wipe_v from_o the_o eye_n of_o saint_n the_o people_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v deliver_v from_o all_o enemy_n they_o shall_v never_o be_v any_o further_o pester_v with_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a man_n to_o be_v enemy_n to_o they_o but_o be_v full_o free_v from_o they_o all_o we_o groan_v under_o the_o burden_n of_o the_o enmity_n of_o wicked_a man_n and_o their_o opposition_n i_o but_o let_v we_o be_v content_a to_o bear_v it_o and_o to_o endure_v opposition_n from_o wicked_a and_o

the_o malice_n of_o all_o the_o wicked_a man_n in_o the_o world_n nay_o there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o the_o saint_n shall_v be_v above_o the_o malice_n of_o wicked_a man_n upon_o this_o earth_n in_o the_o 28_o of_o ezek._n a_o chapter_n that_o speak_v so_o much_o of_o the_o glorious_a condition_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n verse_n 24._o there_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o a_o prick_a briar_n

they_o shall_v be_v deliver_v whole_o from_o they_o rev._n 21.4_o there_o be_v a_o scripture_n lead_v to_o that_o way_n and_o god_n shall_v wipe_v away_o all_o tear_n from_o their_o eye_n and_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o death_n neither_o sorrow_n nor_o cry_v neither_o shall_v there_o be_v any_o more_o pain_n for_o the_o former_a thing_n be_v pass_v away_o this_o be_v prophesy_v of_o for_o such_o time_n as_o these_o be_v for_o those_o that_o then_o live_v the_o saint_n be_v like_a to_o live_v when_o christ_n shall_v come_v in_o that_o glorious_a state_n of_o judgement_n and_o have_v no_o pain_n nor_o sickness_n and_o therefore_o be_v deliver_v from_o all_o enemy_n and_o from_o all_o evil_n both_o from_o without_o and_o within_o in_o regard_n of_o any_o pain_n or_o misesery_v and_o in_o the_o 19_o of_o the_o revelation_n we_o have_v it_o there_o prophesy_v of_o christ_n that_o he_o shall_v come_v and_o have_v his_o vesture_n dip_v in_o blood_n in_o the_o overcome_a all_o the_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a verse_n 13._o and_o he_o be_v clothe_v with_o a_o vesture_n dip_v in_o blood_n and_o his_o name_n be_v call_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o army_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n follow_v he_o upon_o white_a horse_n clothe_v in_o fine_a linen_n white_a and_o clean_a and_o out_o of_o his_o mouth_n go_v a_o sharp_a sword_n that_o with_o it_o he_o

say_v be_v they_o not_o now_o no_o certain_o not_o so_o as_o then_o in_o that_o we_o do_v not_o see_v such_o a_o eminency_n of_o christ_n take_v the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o earth_n now_o more_o than_o former_o and_o i_o say_v this_o be_v a_o evident_a argument_n that_o the_o witness_n be_v not_o slay_v in_o the_o 12_o of_o daniel_n there_o you_o have_v a_o prophecy_n of_o the_o same_o time_n that_o we_o have_v here_o but_o mark_v how_o he_o begin_v this_o prophecy_n there_o say_v he_o in_o the_o 1_o vers_n and_o at_o that_o time_n shall_v michael_n stand_v up_o the_o great_a prince_n which_o stand_v for_o the_o child_n of_o thy_o people_n and_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o time_n of_o trouble_n such_o as_o never_o be_v since_o there_o be_v a_o nation_n even_o to_o that_o same_o time_n and_o at_o that_o time_n thy_o people_n shall_v be_v deliver_v every_o one_o that_o shall_v be_v find_v write_v in_o the_o book_n though_o the_o time_n of_o trouble_n without_o be_v great_a such_o as_o never_o be_v the_o like_a yet_o these_o that_o be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n shall_v be_v deliver_v and_o so_o he_o go_v on_o describe_v the_o glorious_a condition_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n as_o it_o shall_v be_v i_o speak_v something_o to_o that_o in_o the_o open_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o this_o new_a jerusalem_n and_o show_v you_o that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v mean_v there_o of_o the_o glory_n of_o heaven_n but_o of_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o church_n here_o that_o shall_v be_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o then_o in_o the_o 3_o d._n of_o revel_v vers_fw-la 10._o we_o read_v of_o a_o

whether_o yet_o this_o be_v come_v upon_o we_o do_v not_o certain_o appear_v and_o therefore_o let_v the_o consideration_n of_o this_o prepare_v we_o for_o suffer_v before_o hand_n for_o god_n will_v

of_o these_o there_o shall_v come_v such_o evil_a time_n just_a before_o this_o glorious_a time_n of_o the_o church_n as_o our_o time_n may_v be_v account_v golden_a and_o happy_a time_n in_o

that_o point_n of_o religion_n that_o will_v take_v up_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n most_o in_o such_o time_n as_o these_o be_v it_o be_v call_v the_o fine_a linen_n of_o the_o

of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n know_v they_o must_v have_v righteousness_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n that_o be_v not_o only_o be_v careful_a to_o have_v righteousness_n before_o

the_o glory_n of_o this_o new_a jerusalem_n let_v we_o labour_n to_o draw_v all_o that_o we_o can_v to_o godliness_n and_o be_v godly_a ourselves_o that_o shall_v be_v the_o work_n of_o all_o those_o that_o profess_v godliness_n to_o labour_v now_o to_o walk_v so_o as_o to_o make_v every_o body_n in_o love_n with_o godliness_n and_o to_o labour_v to_o wipe_v off_o all_o the_o aspersion_n that_o be_v cast_v upon_o the_o way_n of_o godliness_n there_o be_v strange_a error_n and_o miscarriage_n of_o man_n why_o now_o those_o that_o be_v faithful_a shall_v labour_v to_o wipe_v off_o all_o

for_o we_o see_v they_o to_o be_v the_o way_n of_o god_n i_o this_o be_v very_o hopeful_a that_o jerusalem_n be_v lift_v up_o indeed_o if_o so_o be_v we_o will_v convince_v man_n by_o our_o holy_a

ever_o they_o do_v and_o indeed_o but_o that_o we_o know_v god_n can_v bring_v the_o great_a good_a out_o of_o the_o great_a evil_n one_o will_v think_v that_o there_o be_v as_o great_a a_o stop_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o church_n in_o these_o time_n as_o ever_o there_o be_v but_o woe_n to_o those_o that_o be_v the_o stopper_n and_o howsoever_o some_o cry_n out_o such_o man_n stop_v it_o
