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.

shall_v never_o be_v dissolve_v which_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o aristotle_n the_o philosopher_n who_o be_v the_o more_o to_o be_v pity_v because_o he_o know_v not_o the_o scripture_n nor_o the_o

worth_a my_o labour_n to_o spend_v more_o word_n in_o confutation_n of_o this_o opinion_n the_o three_o opinion_n be_v of_o those_o who_o think_v that_o this_o present_a world_n shall_v only_o be_v purge_v by_o fire_n at_o the_o latter_a day_n from_o its_o evil_a quality_n and_o not_o dissolve_v as_o the_o old_a world_n in_o noah_n time_n be_v drown_v in_o respect_n of_o its_o superficies_n and_o in_o respect_n of_o some_o creature_n in_o it_o yet_o the_o substance_n of_o it_o remain_v firm_a so_o say_v they_o this_o present_a world_n shall_v be_v purge_v by_o fire_n from_o its_o

but_o these_o be_v mistake_v also_o for_o though_o i_o grant_v that_o fire_n have_v a_o purge_n and_o refine_n virtue_n and_o that_o if_o the_o lord_n shall_v restrain_v the_o fire_n of_o the_o

gold_n be_v in_o it_o it_o shall_v only_o then_o purge_v and_o refine_v the_o world_n and_o the_o substance_n thereof_o shall_v remain_v yet_o the_o scripture_n show_v plain_o that_o by_o the_o fire_n of_o that_o great_a day_n the_o heaven_n shall_v pass_v away_o with_o a_o great_a noise_n and_o the_o element_n shall_v melt_v with_o fervent_a heat_n the_o earth_n also_o and_o the_o work_n that_o be_v therein_o whether_o work_v of_o the_o first_o creation_n or_o work_n of_o nature_n or_o work_n of_o man_n art_n and_o industry_n shall_v be_v burn_v up_o 2_o pet._n 3._o 10._o now_o when_o any_o substance_n be_v consume_v and_o burn_v up_o it_o be_v more_o than_o purge_v ●●om_o its_o corruption_n but_o this_o present_a world_n shall_v ●e_v one_o day_n consume_v and_o burn_v up_o in_o respect_n of_o its_o ●●esent_a substance_n and_o so_o it_o shall_v be_v more_o then_o purge_v use_v refine_v by_o fire_n much_o more_o i_o may_v say_v against_o this_o opinion_n if_o 〈◊〉_d have_v

come_v from_o the_o earth_n shall_v meet_v in_o these_o corrupt_a cloud_n and_o air_n which_o now_o be_v and_o so_o i_o may_v well_o gather_v from_o this_o place_n that_o the_o world_n to_o come_v shall_v begin_v immediate_o or_o sudden_o upon_o the_o dissolution_n of_o this_o present_a world_n which_o position_n thus_o clear_v cross_v a_o certain_a use_n opinion_n of_o mr_n mede_n revelation_n mede_n in_o his_o book_n on_o the_o revelation_n for_o though_o he_o grant_v that_o the_o world_n to_o come_v shall_v not_o begin_v before_o this_o present_a world_n shall_v be_v dissolve_v yet_o he_o think_v that_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n shall_v continue_v for_o a_o thousand_o year_n and_o thereupon_o shall_v follow_v the_o world_n to_o come_v but_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v what_o he_o mean_v by_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n in_o that_o place_n whether_o the_o day_n of_o sentence_n or_o the_o day_n of_o execution_n if_o he_o mean_v the_o day_n of_o execution_n he_o may_v as_o well_o have_v say_v the_o day_n of_o judgement_n shall_v continue_v for_o ever_o for_o doubtless_o the_o execution_n of_o the_o last_o judgement_n shall_v continue_v for_o ever_o and_o ever_o but_o if_o he_o mean_v the_o day_n of_o sentence_n i_o wonder_v he_o shall_v say_v the_o day_n of_o judgement_n shall_v continue_v a_o thousand_o year_n see_v no_o good_a reason_n can_v be_v give_v why_o the_o lord_n shall_v so_o long_o deliberate_a about_o the_o sentence_n of_o judgement_n notwithstanding_o then_o this_o opinion_n of_o he_o i_o be_o still_o of_o the_o opinion_n that_o the_o world_n to_o come_v shall_v begin_v immediate_o or_o sudden_o upon_o the_o dissolution_n of_o this_o present_a world_n and_o if_o so_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n why_o good_a christian_n shall_v mourn_v
