given to another hence by way of Allegory and Metaphor it is called Bone in Scripture Isa 66. 14. See p. 119. Query What is that gross part the Man-Eaters may eat Is it only the Belly Guts and Draught which p. 111. he tells us Paul distinguisheth from the Body saying God will destroy the Belly but he doth not say he will destroy the Body And what is the more subtile and ivisible Part Is it that very Numerical Body that dyeth without Belly Guts and Draught which he saith elsewhere Man was cloathed with after the Fall Or is it that Body which he pretends is proper to Man as Man and received before the Fall Again What is that Bone he speaks of Is it the Bone LUZ he hath talkt of Or what is it If he will needs set up for a new Sect between the received Opinion of the same Body of Flesh Blood and Bones rising and our sticking to Scripture Words that it is sown a natural Body raised a spiritual Body let him explain his terms Now let us hear him upon a new Subject having treated from p. 122. of the new Heaven● and new Earth promised to the Saints in p. 124. he saith This new Earth is called Prov. 8. 26. The highest Part Heb. Head of the Dusts of the World And Isa 58. The high places of the Earth All which he tells us cannot be understood of any visible places of the Earth Why so Because G. Keith saith it And that it is called Prov. 8. The Head of the Dusts of the World doth plainly Point at the Excellency of it for as Man is called in Scripture the little World and the whole Creature so the World may be called and is so called by some a great Man Now though the lower Parts of this great Man i. e. the World are visible to our carnal Eyes yet the Head or chief Part of i● is invisible to us and will be until we attain to our Resurrection Bodies but with Eyes suitable to our Resurrection Bodies we shall both see it and find our selves in it c. See p. 124 125. And then tells us That in Scripture the Word Land or Earth hath a Reference to a certain Place or Region above the Globe of this visible Earth whither the Body of Christ is ascended and whither the Bodies of the raised Saints at the Resurrection of the Dead shall ascend c. Answ That Prov. 8. and Isa 58. speak of the new Heavens and the new Earth he would enforce Ibid. from the Terms high and highest Part of the Earth alledging the visible Mountains are but like Moles in a Face and from the Excellency of it But what of all that The Hills are the highest places in respect of the Valleys and a Mole in a Mans Face is a rising there and higher than the rest as well as that one part of the Earth excells another Was not Canaan the Land he had espied for Israel the Glory of all Lands Ezek. 20. 6. Or is there no transcendency no excellency to be allowed to one part of the visible Creation before another but we must needs confound it with the new Earth Again I observe that with him This new Earth is part of the old Earth the lower Parts of this great Man the World are visible the other the Head or Chief Part invisible Whence will he pretend to deduce his Proof hereof viz. That the new Earth was part of the old Will he do it by plain evidence of Holy Scripture and in Scripture Words and Terms to which he said in p. 118. it is only safe to keep Or will he dig into the Ditch of that called Philosophy a Phrase of his own to make it out And whereas he tells us that the Word Land or Earth in Scripture hath reference to a certain Place or Region above the Globe of this visible Earth whither Christ is ascended and the Saints Bodies shall ascend why doth he not give his Reader Chapter and Verse where it is so said that he may see whither cogent or aptly applied or no From p. 125. to p. 127. he infers the long Life of those within the Millenium or thousand Years from Isa 65. 20 21 22. saying p. 126. The Age of Men shall be exceedingly prolonged beyond what it is now even as it was in that Time before the Flood Again Whereas it is promised As are the Days of ● Tree so are the Days of my People I do well remember that Justin Martyr in his Dialogue with Tryphon the Jew saith ' That they should be read As are the Days of the Tree of Life so are the Days of my People which do relate to Adams Paradisical Estate before the Fall saith G. Keith for if Adam had not sinned he had never dyed the Bodily Death c. p. 127. What is this but to confound long Life with Eternity and that out of the same Text Especially considering tha● in that very verse it is said They shall not build and another inhabit they shall not eat and another plant for as the days of a Tree are the days of my People Isa 65. 22. Doth he think what they built and planted while here they should inhabit in and eat of hereafter Looking back upon p. 126. towards the bottom I find this Passage viz. The raised Saints shall need neither Candle nor Light of the Sun even to their bodily Eyes as Adam before his Fall needed no Light of the Candle or of the Sun c. Answ This ● gratis dictum that Adam before the Fall ●eeded not either Light of the Candle or Sun ●or have we plain Evidence of Holy Scripture for ●● or so much as Scripture Words or Terms ●hich he even now said it is only safe to keep ●● That the raised Saints as to their bodily ●yes shall not need it is ejusdem farinae for ● is the Sight so the Object And it is not to ● questioned but they shall be in as good a ●ondition as ever Adam was before the Fall ●●d may be inferred that their Opticks if the ●me which lies upon him to prove will be as enetrating as ever his were before he fell To an Objection That ' As the Manna was not to be gathered on the Sabbath-day c. ●o in the Time of the 1000 Years or great Sabbath there is no possibility of Conversion to any who have not been formerly con●erted he Answers It doth well enough prove that there is no possibility of Conversion to any who have formerly lived in the World and neglected their Time of Grace and Salvation which they once had it is ●ain for any such to expect to live again and ●ave another Time of Grace and Salvation ●ut it doth not in the least prove that any ●uch who have not at any Time formerly ●ived in the World shall not have a Time of Grace c. This I bring as an Instance of his ●ning to the Notion of the Revolutionists which
