that_o christ_n and_o the_o saint_n shall_v receive_v a_o kingdom_n &_o reign_v upon_o earth_n now_o i_o shall_v proceed_v to_o resolve_v the_o matter_n as_o touch_v the_o time_n and_o that_o be_v also_o foretold_v in_o the_o scripture_n to_o be_v a_o thousand_o year_n which_o time_n will_v contain_v ten_o generation_n it_o be_v preconsider_v that_o person_n shall_v live_v in_o that_o day_n to_o be_v a_o hundred_o year_n old_a according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n isa_n 65.20_o which_o say_v there_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o thence_o a_o infant_n of_o day_n nor_o a_o old_a

john_n rev._n 20.4_o 5_o 6_o 7._o where_o the_o lord_n show_v john_n that_o the_o godly_a be_v to_o live_v again_o after_o death_n and_o to_o reign_v with_o christ_n a_o thousand_o year_n before_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o dead_a man_n viz._n the_o wicked_a be_v to_o live_v again_o but_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v demand_v of_o i_o whether_o christ_n and_o the_o saint_n shall_v reign_v but_o one_o thousand_o year_n i_o shall_v not_o say_v positive_o that_o they_o be_v to_o reign_v no_o long_o as_o just_a to_o limit_v the_o time_n yet_o i_o shall_v give_v my_o judgement_n as_o a_o man_n who_o have_v obtain_v favour_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o say_v its_o like_a that_o a_o thousand_o year_n may_v be_v the_o set_a time_n first_o because_o we_o know_v that_o christ_n be_v to_o give_v up_o the_o mediator-ship_n and_o kingdom_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o father_n and_o then_o he_o be_v to_o be_v all_o in_o all_o as_o you_o may_v read_v 1_o cor._n 15.24_o and_o the_o son_n then_o must_v be_v in_o subjection_n to_o the_o father_n so_o that_o although_o christ_n be_v to_o receive_v the_o kingdom_n and_o greatness_n of_o the_o kingdom_n under_o the_o whole_a heaven_n and_o possess_v it_o and_o reign_v yet_o he_o be_v to_o leave_v it_o again_o at_o the_o time_n appoint_v of_o the_o father_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o time_n before_o mention_v viz._n at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o thousand_o year_n but_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v object_v and_o say_v object_n that_o that_o thousand_o year_n reign_n which_o you_o speak_v of_o may_v possible_o be_v but_o the_o very_a time_n or_o day_n that_o christ_n and_o the_o saint_n shall_v pass_v sentence_n upon_o the_o wicked_a as_o christ_n to_o judge_v &_o the_o righteous_a to_o be_v say_v to_o judge_v as_o they_o acknowledge_v christ_n judgement_n to_o be_v just_a &_o so_o trample_v down_o the_o wicked_a because_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o one_o day_n with_o the_o lord_n be_v as_o a_o thousand_o year_n and_o a_o thousand_o year_n as_o one_o day_n 2_o pet._n 3.8_o answ_n it_o can_v be_v so_o understand_v because_o christ_n be_v to_o sit_v upon_o the_o throne_n of_o his_o father_n david_n and_o to_o govern_v it_o in_o which_o time_n his_o dominion_n shall_v be_v from_o sea_n to_o sea_n and_o from_o the_o river_n unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n they_o that_o dwell_v in_o the_o wilderness_n shall_v bow_v to_o he_o his_o enemy_n shall_v lick_v the_o dust_n the_o king_n of_o tarshish_n and_o of_o the_o isle_n shall_v bring_v present_n

upon_o the_o earth_n selah_n then_o shall_v the_o earth_n yield_v she_o increase_v and_o god_n even_o our_o god_n shall_v bless_v we_o and_o all_o the_o end_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v fear_v he_o for_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v king_n over_o all_o the_o earth_n from_o these_o scripture_n we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v to_o dwell_v with_o man_n even_o to_o come_v down_o and_o dwell_v with_o they_o it_o be_v not_o say_v that_o man_n shall_v dwell_v with_o god_n imply_v a_o remove_n of_o their_o place_n but_o the_o tabernacle_n of_o god_n to_o be_v with_o man_n and_o he_o to_o dwell_v with_o they_o imply_v that_o god_n will_v remove_v his_o habitation_n but_o peradventure_o some_o may_v say_v will_v the_o lord_n come_v and_o dwell_v with_o we_o upon_o a_o corrupt_a carnal_a earth_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o first_o christ_n do_v dwell_v with_o his_o disciple_n upon_o the_o earth_n and_o eat_v with_o they_o after_o his_o resurrection_n what_o will_v that_o teach_v we_o weigh_v it_o well_o but_o second_o the_o earth_n than_o shall_v be_v more_o pure_a than_o the_o heaven_n be_v now_o for_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v clean_o in_o his_o sight_n and_o very_o good_a as_o he_o at_o first_o make_v they_o when_o the_o restorer_n shall_v have_v restore_v all_o thing_n for_o then_o the_o curse_n will_v be_v take_v away_o but_o as_o say_v eliphaz_n job_n 15.15_o the_o heaven_n be_v not_o clean_o in_o his_o sight_n i_o may_v speak_v of_o god_n dislike_n of_o it_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o angel_n transgression_n but_o you_o will_v say_v there_o shall_v be_v a_o new_a heaven_n as_o well_o as_o a_o new_a earth_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a where_o ever_o god_n seat_n be_v there_o be_v heaven_n but_o god_n seat_n shall_v then_o be_v upon_o earth_n in_o jerusalem_n where_o he_o be_v shadow_v out_o of_o old_a and_o hence_o jerusalem_n be_v call_v by_o the_o prophet_n isa_n 65.17_o 18_o 19_o the_o new_a heaven_n in_o these_o word_n behold_v i_o create_v a_o new_a

be_v hear_v no_o more_o in_o she_o nor_o the_o voice_n of_o cry_v from_o these_o word_n we_o may_v see_v what_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v by_o the_o new_a heaven_n and_o new_a earth_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o 21_o chapter_n of_o the_o revel_n and_o what_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o tabernacle_n of_o god_n be_v with_o man_n and_o he_o to_o dwell_v with_o they_o even_o the_o lord_n

seven_o because_o christ_n have_v command_v we_o to_o pray_v for_o it_o even_o that_o his_o kingdom_n may_v come_v that_o his_o will_n may_v be_v do_v in_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n for_o there_o be_v a_o time_n come_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o and_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v full_a of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o water_n cover_v the_o sea_n when_o the_o law_n shall_v go_v forth_o of_o zion_n and_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n from_o jerusalem_n now_o till_o that_o day_n there_o will_v be_v weakness_n and_o imperfection_n among_o the_o godly_a that_o the_o will_n of_o god_n sometime_o will_v be_v oppose_v and_o resist_v but_o at_o that_o time_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o sin_n or_o disobedience_n among_o the_o godly_a for_o if_o they_o seek_v for_o

among_o the_o nation_n psal_n 22.27_o 28._o ezekiel_n 37._o matth._n 6.10_o micah_n 4._o from_o hence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o christ_n be_v to_o have_v a_o kingdom_n and_o reign_v and_o govern_v the_o nation_n upon_o the_o earth_n at_o which_o time_n his_o will_n shall_v be_v do_v upon_o earth_n as_o the_o angel_n do_v it_o in_o heaven_n and_o this_o kingdom_n also_o be_v the_o saint_n it_o

20._o and_o i_o think_v it_o can_v be_v rational_o imagine_v that_o christ_n shall_v reign_v over_o the_o house_n of_o david_n in_o jerusalem_n a_o thousand_o year_n and_o no_o generation_n to_o

even_o all_o the_o jew_n that_o live_v to_o his_o come_n and_o be_v not_o before_o convert_v unto_o gospel_n obedience_n shall_v live_v in_o their_o flesh_n and_o not_o be_v change_v at_o the_o

and_o thus_o i_o pass_v the_o first_o thing_n although_o more_o may_v be_v say_v to_o it_o but_o enough_o to_o prove_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v some_o live_n in_o the_o flesh_n even_o the_o jew_n when_o christ_n come_v and_o also_o in_o the_o time_n of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o second_o all_o the_o gentile_a saint_n shall_v be_v with_o christ_n before_o he_o shall_v descend_v upon_o the_o

the_o lord_n thy_o god_n shall_v come_v and_z all_z saint_n with_o he_o from_o whence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o saint_n yea_o all_o the_o faithful_a gentile_n be_v to_o be_v catch_v up_o to_o
