mystery_n which_o we_o must_v not_o hope_v perfect_o to_o understand_v till_o we_o see_v the_o bless_a accomplishment_n of_o it_o i_o can_v not_o but_o transcribe_v a_o paragraph_n worthy_a of_o

that_o sit_v upon_o it_o ready_a to_o deliver_v up_o the_o kingdom_n to_o god_n all_o in_o all._n this_o be_v certain_a because_o the_o new_a heaven_n and_o new_a earth_n be_v concurrent_a with_o the_o new_a jerusalem_n as_o be_v most_o clear_a by_o the_o conjunct_a vision_n john_n have_v of_o they_o revel_v 21._o 12._o i_o see_v a_o new_a heaven_n and_o v._o 1._o and_o i_o john_n see_v the_o

there_o can_v be_v any_o doubt_n in_o the_o connexion_n or_o order_n the_o divine_a prophecy_n have_v so_o take_v care_n satan_n cast_v into_o the_o lake_n must_v needs_o be_v after_o the_o 1000_o
