these_o reason_n which_o be_v this_o that_o it_o be_v nowhere_o say_v that_o all_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o this_o new_a earth_n or_o all_o the_o member_n of_o this_o commonwealth_n shall_v sit_v

that_o shall_v be_v convert_v at_o and_o by_o the_o personal_a and_o visible_a appear_v of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o all_o his_o saint_n with_o he_o and_o so_o make_v of_o the_o seed_n
