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

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

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
