any_o man_n and_o beast_n such_o absurdity_n will_v follow_v upon_o that_o doctrine_n as_o it_o will_v grieve_v any_o man_n heart_n to_o hear_v they_o &_o much_o more_o to_o believe_v they_o to_o

therefore_o where_o christ_n be_v thither_o we_o must_v ascend_v namely_o to_o the_o heaven_n and_o forsake_v the_o earth_n and_o never_o look_v to_o enjoy_v any_o benefit_n by_o the_o renew_a frame_n

more_o be_v not_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n sufficient_a cause_n for_o we_o to_o live_v and_o die_v in_o expectation_n of_o the_o performance_n thereof_o have_v god_n no_o other_o end_n and_o use_n of_o the_o new_a earth_n except_o man_n dwell_v in_o they_o paradise_n wherein_o adam_n once_o dwell_v and_o from_o which_o he_o and_o we_o be_v expel_v be_v it_o destroy_v when_o man_n do_v not_o inhabit_v it_o or_o do_v any_o man_n live_v know_v unto_o what_o use_n the_o lord_n appoint_v it_o sure_o none_o and_o therefore_o if_o man_n may_v be_v on_o earth_n and_o god_n suffer_v paradise_n for_o his_o secret_a purpose_n best_o know_v to_o himself_o not_o to_o be_v inhabit_v much_o more_o after_o the_o judgement_n when_o the_o gate_n of_o heaven_n shall_v be_v open_a shall_v not_o any_o man_n need_v once_o to_o dream_v of_o a_o habitation_n upon_o earth_n second_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o cause_n yet_o be_v this_o cause_n a_o sufficient_a reason_n to_o all_o sober_a man_n to_o persuade_v they_o of_o the_o use_n of_o the_o new_a earth_n namely_o that_o whereas_o sin_n have_v now_o make_v it_o subject_a to_o corruption_n and_o yet_o the_o first_o purpose_n of_o god_n that_o it_o shall_v remain_v for_o ever_o in_o pure_a estate_n without_o corruption_n have_v not_o sin_n bring_v in_o death_n to_o man_n and_o corruption_n to_o the_o creature_n must_v still_o stand_v and_o therefore_o for_o the_o first_o purpose_n of_o god_n which_o never_o alter_v he_o will_v preserve_v this_o outward_a world_n even_o as_o the_o body_n of_o man_n that_o it_o may_v remain_v before_o he_o as_o a_o monument_n of_o his_o own_o handy_a work_n for_o ever_o two_o opinion_n be_v very_o gross_a one_o that_o if_o man_n have_v not_o fall_v he_o shall_v never_o have_v come_v to_o heaven_n but_o enjoy_v only_o this_o world_n felicity_n whereas_o the_o only_a difference_n betwixt_o we_o now_o in_o a_o degenerate_a estate_n and_o he_o in_o a_o pure_a estate_n concern_v life_n eternal_a be_v not_o in_o regard_n of_o place_n for_o he_o shall_v have_v go_v to_o heaven_n as_o elias_n and_o enoch_n without_o leave_v behind_o he_o his_o mortal_a part_n and_o that_o without_o pain_n of_o death_n or_o help_n of_o a_o mediator_n by_o his_o own_o righteousness_n holiness_n and_o integrity_n and_o now_o through_o many_o affliction_n pain_n and_o death_n by_o the_o help_n of_o a_o mediator_n and_o after_o the_o body_n resurrection_n will_v go_v to_o heaven_n and_o life_n eternal_a the_o second_o error_n be_v that_o the_o world_n shall_v have_v need_v any_o purgation_n or_o shall_v have_v wax_v old_a like_o a_o garment_n as_o now_o it_o do_v or_o that_o there_o shall_v have_v need_v any_o judgement_n except_o sin_n have_v enter_v into_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o earth_n at_o the_o beginning_n be_v ordain_v to_o stand_v for_o ever_o psal_n 19.90_o and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o cause_n that_o man_n shall_v inhabit_v it_o now_o after_o the_o judgement_n then_o if_o man_n have_v never_o sin_v and_o that_o this_o purpose_n of_o god_n shall_v sustain_v and_o repair_v it_o for_o to_o be_v a_o monument_n of_o his_o own_o work_n for_o evermore_o quest_n 53._o if_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v it_o remain_v as_o a_o monument_n of_o his_o own_o work_n why_o then_o do_v not_o the_o sea_n remane_fw-la for_o it_o be_v express_o say_v reve._n 21.1_o and_o there_o be_v no_o more_o sea_n ans_fw-fr the_o apostle_n in_o the_o revelation_n declare_v only_o a_o vision_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v certain_o expound_v literal_o in_o every_o point_n he_o repete_v what_o he_o see_v and_o not_o in_o every_o part_n what_o shall_v be_v for_o god_n have_v reserve_v some_o thing_n unto_o himself_o but_o forasmuch_o as_o many_o vision_n be_v allegorical_a especial_o in_o the_o revelation_n where_o the_o angel_n be_v minister_n or_o bishop_n the_o church_n candlestick_n the_o beast_n governor_n &_o

troublesome_a generation_n of_o this_o world_n and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o can_v see_v no_o cause_n or_o reason_n to_o interpret_v that_o part_n of_o saint_n johns_n vision_n literal_o but_o rather_o that_o in_o the_o renew_a estate_n of_o the_o world_n after_o the_o late_a day_n there_o shall_v dwell_v righteousness_n neither_o man_n with_o beast_n or_o one_o with_o another_o shall_v have_v any_o

all_o allegorical_a i_o conclude_v that_o the_o first_o division_n which_o god_n make_v of_o water_n shall_v stand_v both_o above_o and_o beneath_o the_o firmament_n and_o that_o the_o sea_n shall_v
