A58888 A discoverie of the vvorld to come according to the Scriptures the first part thereof being didactical, or such as contains a form of positive doctrine : wherein 1. The doctrine of the world to come is propounded, explicated, confirmed, and applyed in a more familiar method then formerly hath been observed, 2. The doctrine of millenaries, touching a new reformed church in the latter times, which they call a new world, is confuted, 3. Sundry passages of holy writ are interpreted in reference to the world to come, which have been formerly wrested, and forced in a wrong sense / written by J. Seager... Seager, J.

useful_a use_n sundr●_n way_n as_o first_o by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v we_o may_v discern_v some_o difference_n betwixt_o eternal_a salvation_n and_o eternal_a life_n because_o eternal_a salvation_n in_o a_o proper_a sense_n shall_v be_v a_o eternal_a preservation_n from_o the_o evil_n of_o the_o world_n to_o come_v but_o eternal_a life_n in_o a_o proper_a sense_n shall_v be_v a_o eternal_a conjunction_n union_n or_o communion_n with_o god_n and_o with_o christ_n indeed_o this_o difference_n have_v not_o be_v observe_v by_o all_o writer_n but_o many_o have_v speak_v confuse_o of_o the_o world_n to_o come_v and_o of_o the_o thing_n which_o shall_v be_v contain_v in_o it_o and_o though_o the_o same_o man_n when_o they_o speak_v of_o temporal_a salvation_n temporal_a life_n glory_n

world_n to_o come_v by_o any_o thing_n they_o shall_v do_v or_o suffer_v in_o obedience_n to_o god_n will_v in_o this_o world_n for_o suppose_v they_o shall_v do_v much_o here_o in_o obedience_n to_o

of_o death_n shall_v be_v better_o unto_o they_o then_o the_o day_n of_o their_o birth_n eccles_n 7._o 1._o and_o this_o temporal_a death_n shall_v be_v second_v with_o everlasting_a life_n in_o the_o

16._o 25._o four_o it_o may_v inform_v we_o that_o god_n elect_v shall_v not_o doubt_v of_o everlasting_a life_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v because_o the_o word_n make_v it_o sure_a unto_o they_o

5._o 13._o five_o it_o may_v inform_v we_o that_o god_n elect_v shall_v constant_o hope_v for_o eternal_a life_n and_o live_v in_o expectation_n thereof_o because_o this_o hope_n be_v commend_v tit._n

such_o as_o desire_v to_o enjoy_v everlasting_a life_n with_o god_n elect_n must_v choose_v the_o way_n that_o lead_v thereunto_o and_o walk_v in_o it_o for_o there_o be_v but_o one_o way_n that_o

unto_o eternal_a life_n be_v so_o describe_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o we_o may_v know_v it_o from_o other_o way_n for_o it_o be_v call_v the_o strait_a way_n the_o narrow_a way_n the_o old_a

the_o second_o adam_n 2._o the_o reason_n why_o dead_a man_n and_o woman_n shall_v rise_v again_o be_v because_o they_o have_v reasonable_a soul_n live_v while_o their_o body_n be_v dead_a as_o abraham_n isaac_n jacob_n dives_n lazarus_n be_v now_o alive_a in_o their_o soul_n their_o body_n be_v dead_a but_o other_o creature_n as_o bird_n beast_n fish_n have_v no_o soul_n live_v while_o their_o body_n be_v dead_a for_o there_o be_v this_o difference_n betwixt_o a_o man_n and_o a_o beast_n that_o when_o a_o man_n die_v his_o spirit_n live_v and_o ascend_v to_o god_n that_o give_v it_o but_o when_o a_o beast_n die_v his_o spirit_n die_v with_o
he_o and_o return_n to_o dust_n which_o be_v a_o matter_n well_o know_v &_o consider_v but_o of_o a_o few_o therefore_o solomon_n say_v who_o know_v the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n that_o go_v upward_o
