kingdom_n of_o god_n which_o be_v partly_o a_o note_n of_o distinction_n partly_o a_o note_n of_o eminence_n it_o be_v usual_a in_o scripture_n when_o a_o word_n of_o ordinary_a use_n for_o natural_a

but_o a_o faint_a shadow_n and_o resemblance_n of_o what_o he_o be_v in_o truth_n that_o he_o be_v so_o kind_a so_o tender_a so_o careful_a of_o he_o as_o that_o the_o kindness_n the_o tenderness_n the_o care_n of_o a_o shepherd_n towards_o his_o flock_n do_v but_o faint_o resemble_v what_o he_o be_v in_o truth_n so_o here_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n or_o as_o elsewhere_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n the_o heavenly_a kingdom_n with_o the_o like_a expression_n do_v import_n not_o such_o as_o what_o man_n on_o earth_n call_v a_o kingdom_n but_o somewhat_o else_o thereby_o resemble_v and_o

1_o cor._n 15.50_o flesh_n and_o blood_n can_v inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n to_o see_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n therefore_o be_v to_o enjoy_v to_o enter_v into_o and_o to_o inherit_v that_o
