be_v reduce_v to_o nothing_o its_o quality_n shall_v be_v change_v and_o it_o may_v be_v its_o form_n shall_v be_v alter_v but_o its_o substance_n and_o matter_n shall_v continue_v always_o the_o same_o for_o first_o as_o god_n have_v create_v the_o world_n for_o his_o own_o glory_n he_o can_v be_v disappoint_v of_o the_o intent_n of_o his_o creation_n and_o because_o this_o world_n have_v not_o glorify_v he_o as_o it_o ought_v he_o will_v put_v it_o into_o a_o condition_n proper_a to_o glorify_v he_o according_a to_o that_o purpose_n for_o which_o he_o draw_v it_o out_o of_o nothing_o second_o see_v that_o this_o world_n be_v create_v to_o serve_v man_n as_o a_o looking-glass_n to_o behold_v the_o eternal_a power_n of_o god_n and_o that_o this_o beautiful_a looking-glass_n have_v be_v spot_v and_o sully_v by_o sin_n it_o be_v yet_o possible_a to_o cleanse_v it_o and_o make_v it_o bright_a that_o it_o may_v represent_v its_o creator_n better_o and_o show_v forth_o a_o more_o perfect_a image_n of_o his_o divine_a majesty_n three_o see_v that_o god_n do_v nothing_o in_o vain_a there_o be_v no_o likelihood_n that_o he_o shall_v destroy_v the_o world_n total_o and_o reduce_v the_o primitive_a matter_n to_o nothing_o from_o whence_o it_o be_v draw_v to_o create_v new_a matter_n because_o he_o be_v able_a of_o this_o old_a matter_n to_o make_v a_o new_a earth_n and_o new_a heaven_n as_o pure_a and_o undefiled_a as_o if_o the_o matter_n have_v be_v new_o create_v four_o sin_n have_v spoil_v and_o disfigure_v the_o work_n of_o the_o creation_n but_o it_o have_v not_o touch_v neither_o the_o first_o matter_n nor_o its_o be_v so_o that_o god_n can_v take_v away_o this_o defilement_n and_o remove_v the_o deformity_n without_o touch_v the_o matter_n which_o of_o itself_o be_v innocent_a and_o harmless_a in_o man_n the_o little_a world_n and_o the_o compendium_n of_o the_o great_a i_o find_v a_o beautiful_a and_o perfect_a image_n of_o that_o which_o god_n shall_v do_v with_o the_o whole_a world_n god_n intend_v not_o to_o destroy_v the_o substance_n of_o our_o soul_n but_o only_o to_o purge_v they_o from_o all_o vicious_a quality_n and_o beautify_v they_o with_o righteousness_n and_o true_a holiness_n so_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v as_o the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n likewise_o he_o intend_v not_o to_o destroy_v the_o substance_n of_o our_o body_n but_o he_o will_v free_v they_o from_o corruption_n from_o death_n and_o clothe_v they_o with_o glory_n and_o immortality_n so_o that_o this_o vile_a body_n shall_v be_v render_v conformable_a to_o the_o glorious_a body_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o shall_v shine_v as_o the_o sun_n likewise_o god_n will_v not_o altogether_o destroy_v the_o world_n and_o abolish_v its_o substance_n but_o he_o will_v rectify_v all_o its_o imperfection_n and_o add_v to_o it_o a_o great_a glory_n if_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o i_o to_o discover_v here_o all_o my_o thought_n i_o must_v say_v that_o i_o put_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o heaven_n and_o earth_n for_o the_o earth_n be_v altogether_o corrupt_a and_o spoil_v with_o sin_n it_o be_v the_o earth_n especial_o that_o groan_v under_o the_o burden_n of_o so_o many_o iniquity_n which_o reign_n in_o it_o but_o if_o heaven_n be_v guilty_a of_o any_o crime_n it_o be_v because_o it_o have_v give_v light_a to_o such_o as_o have_v be_v rebel_n against_o the_o divine_a majesty_n and_o assist_v the_o curse_a earth_n by_o its_o gracious_a and_o continual_a influence_n because_o of_o this_o great_a difference_n it_o be_v my_o opinion_n that_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v destroy_v by_o fire_n and_o that_o all_o its_o beautiful_a building_n and_o proud_a palace_n shall_v be_v turn_v into_o ash_n but_o the_o change_n which_o shall_v happen_v in_o heaven_n shall_v only_o be_v to_o make_v it_o more_o beautiful_a and_o bright_a that_o child_n of_o god_n may_v have_v there_o a_o more_o glorious_a palace_n this_o seem_v to_o have_v be_v typify_v in_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n for_o as_o we_o have_v already_o observe_v speak_v of_o that_o which_o shall_v happen_v to_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n that_o when_o a_o earthen_a vessel_n be_v defile_v it_o be_v to_o be_v break_v to_o piece_n but_o such_o vessel_n as_o be_v of_o a_o more_o precious_a metal_n as_o of_o brass_n of_o silver_n or_o of_o gold_n be_v to_o be_v purify_v with_o fire_n likewise_o the_o earth_n with_o all_o its_o work_n shall_v pass_v through_o the_o flame_n so_o that_o it_o shall_v loose_v its_o present_a shape_n and_o quality_n but_o heaven_n that_o be_v as_o brass_n or_o rather_o as_o fine_a silver_n shall_v only_o he_o purify_v by_o the_o fire_n of_o the_o last_o judgement_n if_o you_o remove_v the_o cause_n you_o take_v away_o also_o the_o effect_n if_o you_o remove_v away_o sin_n you_o also_o remove_v its_o punishment_n now_o it_o be_v because_o of_o man_n sin_n that_o the_o world_n have_v and_o shall_v see_v so_o great_a a_o change_n therefore_o as_o god_n by_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n have_v forgive_v man_n sin_n it_o be_v also_o to_o be_v expect_v from_o the_o same_o mercy_n that_o he_o will_v not_o total_o destroy_v the_o world_n but_o that_o he_o will_v rather_o free_v it_o from_o corruption_n unto_o which_o our_o sin_n have_v enthral_v it_o unless_o god_n deal_v in_o this_o manner_n our_o joy_n and_o comfort_n can_v be_v accomplish_v and_o god_n will_v not_o appear_v perfect_o satisfy_v while_o a_o subject_a continue_v in_o rebellion_n and_o in_o the_o displeasure_n of_o his_o prince_n not_o only_o his_o person_n be_v pursue_v and_o punish_v but_o all_o that_o belong_v to_o he_o bear_v the_o mark_n of_o the_o wrath_n and_o indignation_n of_o the_o prince_n who_o he_o have_v offend_v his_o dwell_a house_n be_v common_o pull_v down_o his_o wood_n be_v cut_v and_o mangle_a and_o his_o inheritance_n be_v destroy_v but_o when_o his_o peace_n be_v conclude_v and_o his_o pardon_n grant_v his_o house_n be_v build_v up_o again_o all_o sign_n of_o the_o king_n displeasure_n be_v take_v away_o and_o every_o thing_n appear_v with_o a_o more_o pleasant_a countenance_n likewise_o because_o of_o our_o rebellion_n and_o our_o treason_n against_o god_n he_o have_v punish_v the_o world_n for_o our_o sake_n and_o have_v make_v it_o sensible_a of_o his_o wrath_n but_o now_o that_o our_o peace_n be_v make_v or_o rather_o god_n have_v make_v peace_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o son_n we_o may_v just_o expect_v that_o he_o will_v remove_v all_o sign_n of_o his_o displeasure_n and_o revenge_n i_o remember_v upon_o this_o subject_n what_o david_n say_v to_o god_n when_o he_o see_v the_o angel_n destroy_v jerusalem_n i_o have_v sin_v and_o i_o have_v do_v wicked_o but_o these_o sheep_n what_o

our_o sake_n at_o present_a we_o can_v find_v no_o difficulty_n to_o understand_v the_o forementioned_a passage_n of_o holy_a scripture_n and_o such_o as_o tend_v to_o the_o same_o purpose_n for_o when_o david_n and_o st._n paul_n assure_v we_o that_o the_o heaven_n shall_v perish_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v change_v as_o a_o garment_n i_o answer_v that_o they_o shall_v perish_v in_o respect_n of_o their_o quality_n and_o not_o of_o their_o substance_n and_o that_o the_o change_n shall_v not_o be_v as_o when_o one_o garment_n be_v cast_v off_o and_o another_o be_v take_v but_o as_o when_o the_o spot_n and_o blemish_n of_o a_o old_a garment_n be_v take_v away_o and_o it_o become_v fresh_a when_o your_o clothing_n be_v grow_v old_a and_o wear_v out_o if_o it_o be_v in_o your_o power_n
