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.

their_o salvation_n but_o suggestion_n of_o this_o nature_n do_v usual_o and_o for_o the_o most_o part_n come_v from_o satan_n the_o father_n of_o lie_n god_n persuade_v all_o afflict_a sinner_n to_o

for_o salvation_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v in_o all_o which_o suggestion_n satan_n act_v the_o part_n of_o a_o liar_n because_o he_o do_v not_o certain_o know_v any_o of_o these_o thing_n to_o
