the_o sound_n of_o the_o seven_o trumpet_n it_o be_v say_v then_o that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o this_o world_n be_v become_v the_o kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o of_o his_o christ_n by_o this_o time_n you_o will_v understand_v what_o christ_n mean_v john_n 18_o when_o he_o say_v his_o kingdom_n be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n and_o indeed_o he_o himself_o tell_v we_o in_o the_o follow_a word_n but_o now_o be_v my_o kingdom_n not_o from_o hence_o as_o if_o christ_n shall_v say_v i_o be_o a_o king_n and_o shall_v have_v a_o kingdom_n but_o not_o now_o not_o in_o this_o world_n but_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v for_o we_o must_v know_v that_o there_o be_v more_o world_n than_o one_o there_o be_v the_o old_a world_n which_o be_v drown_v and_o there_o be_v this_o present_a evil_a world_n and_o as_o the_o old_a world_n be_v drown_v and_o the_o wicked_a in_o it_o be_v general_o though_o not_o universal_o destroy_v by_o water_n so_o will_v this_o present_a world_n and_o the_o wicked_a that_o be_v therein_o though_o not_o all_o be_v destroy_v by_o fire_n 2_o pet._n 3.7_o as_o hereafter_o we_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o show_v after_o which_o there_o will_v be_v a_o new_a heaven_n and_o a_o new_a earth_n wherein_o dwell_v righteousness_n a_o new_a face_n of_o thing_n a_o new_a world_n and_o this_o be_v call_v by_o the_o apostle_n heb._n 2.5_o the_o world_n to_o come_v when_o all_o thing_n must_v be_v put_v in_o subjection_n to_o christ_n ver_fw-la 8._o and_o this_o be_v the_o world_n in_o which_o will_v be_v or_o which_o be_v christ_n kingdom_n and_o now_o to_o speak_v a_o little_a to_o this_o point_n about_o the_o end_n of_o this_o world_n and_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o world_n to_o come_v and_o see_v what_o the_o scripture_n speak_v to_o it_o in_o 2_o pet._n 3.7_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o heaven_n &_o the_o earth_n which_o be_v now_o be_v reserve_v unto_o fire_n against_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n or_o as_o some_o render_v it_o a_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o perdition_n of_o ungodly_a men._n and_o this_o can_v be_v mean_v of_o the_o ultimate_a judgement_n because_o after_o this_o there_o will_v not_o only_o be_v a_o new_a heaven_n but_o a_o new_a earth_n also_o wherein_o dwell_v righteousness_n that_o be_v righteous_a man_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v build_v house_n and_o plant_v vineyard_n and_o eat_v the_o fruit_n of_o they_o isai_n 65.21_o yea_o and_o worship_n god_n with_o external_a worship_n from_o one_o sabbath_n to_o another_o and_o that_o not_o for_o a_o little_a while_n but_o these_o new_a heaven_n and_o new_a earth_n be_v to_o remain_v chap._n 66.22_o but_o what_o then_o may_v we_o think_v will_v become_v of_o the_o old_a heaven_n and_o the_o old_a earth_n will_v they_o not_o still_o have_v a_o be_v for_o answer_v hereunto_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o forementioned_a chap_n do_v make_v a_o parallel_n between_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o old_a world_n and_o the_o world_n that_o now_o be_v that_o as_o the_o old_a world_n be_v destroy_v by_o water_n so_o will_v this_o world_n be_v by_o fire_n proper_o so_o call_v as_o to_o that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v destroy_v for_o as_o in_o the_o old_a world_n there_o be_v not_o a_o annihilation_n of_o any_o thing_n nor_o be_v all_o man_n nor_o all_o the_o brute-creature_n destroy_v nor_o be_v the_o empyrean_a or_o starry_a heaven_n then_o touch_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v only_o the_o aerial_a heaven_n with_o what_o be_v contain_v in_o they_o which_o be_v the_o furniture_n of_o they_o or_o what_o move_v in_o the_o air_n that_o will_v be_v the_o subject_a of_o this_o burn_a and_o it_o may_v be_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n mean_v by_o element_n melt_v with_o fervent_a heat_n which_o distinguish_v from_o the_o heaven_n for_o it_o can_v be_v that_o the_o element_n proper_o so_o call_v shall_v melt_v with_o fervent_a heat_n the_o water_n not_o be_v capable_a of_o burn_v or_o melt_v the_o fire_n be_v that_o which_o burn_v all_o thing_n and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v burn_v and_o for_o the_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v not_o destroy_v by_o the_o flood_n though_o much_o deface_v so_o neither_o will_v it_o be_v destroy_v by_o fire_n so_o as_o not_o to_o be_v but_o this_o fire_n shall_v rather_o be_v for_o the_o restoration_n of_o it_o than_o the_o destruction_n of_o it_o as_o a_o vesture_n shall_v thou_o change_v they_o and_o they_o shall_v be_v change_v psal_n 102.6_o but_o that_o the_o earth_n shall_v have_v a_o habitable_a be_v after_o the_o end_n of_o the_o thousand_o year_n be_v

upon_o the_o breadth_n of_o the_o earth_n but_o it_o may_v be_v some_o may_v think_v that_o this_o burn_v of_o the_o world_n will_v be_v at_o or_o after_o the_o general_a judgement_n but_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v it_o may_v be_v otherwise_o for_o then_o the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n be_v say_v to_o fly_v away_o from_o the_o face_n of_o he_o that_o sit_v on_o the_o throne_n to_o judge_v the_o world_n and_o it_o have_v be_v before_o show_v that_o after_o this_o burn_a there_o will_v be_v a_o new_a earth_n as_o well_o as_o a_o new_a heaven_n and_o who_o can_v tell_v but_o that_o this_o

the_o last_o day_n and_o we_o do_v not_o know_v that_o ever_o this_o have_v be_v accomplish_v and_o that_o this_o be_v not_o at_o the_o general_a judgement_n but_o before_o be_v clear_a out_o of_o joel_n 2.32_o for_o at_o this_o very_a time_n when_o this_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v and_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v burn_v some_o shall_v be_v deliver_v for_o in_o mount_n zion_n and_o in_o

destruction_n of_o the_o wicked_a of_o the_o world_n as_o have_v be_v before_o show_v and_o this_o will_v be_v by_o fire_n as_o the_o wicked_a of_o the_o old_a world_n be_v destroy_v by_o water_n and_o the_o apostle_n peter_n say_v express_o this_o fire_n be_v for_o the_o perdition_n of_o ungodly_a men._n paul_n also_o tell_v we_o that_o christ_n will_v be_v reveal_v from_o heaven_n in_o flame_a fire_n to_o take_v vengeance_n on_o wicked_a man_n 2_o thes_n 1.8_o but_o more_o clear_a isai_n 66.15_o for_o behold_v the_o lord_n will_v come_v with_o fire_n and_o render_v his_o anger_n with_o fury_n and_o his_o rebuke_n with_o flame_n of_o fire_n for_o by_o fire_n and_o by_o sword_n will_v the_o lord_n plead_v with_o all_o flesh_n and_o the_o slay_a of_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v many_o but_o what_o then_o may_v we_o think_v will_v become_v of_o good_a man_n and_o the_o irrational_a creature_n at_o this_o time_n when_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v in_o a_o flame_n how_o shall_v they_o be_v save_v indeed_o this_o be_v a_o question_n too_o hard_o for_o i_o or_o any_o man_n else_o to_o determine_v neither_o do_v i_o know_v that_o it_o be_v reveal_v in_o the_o scripture_n yet_o for_o resolution_n of_o this_o i_o propound_v to_o consideration_n first_o that_o when_o the_o world_n be_v destroy_v by_o water_n it_o be_v possible_a some_o good_a man_n may_v perish_v in_o that_o destruction_n who_o see_v that_o deluge_n come_v on_o the_o world_n may_v repent_v and_o so_o have_v their_o soul_n save_v and_o if_o so_o why_o may_v not_o some_o good_a man_n be_v take_v away_o in_o this_o general_a destruction_n by_o fire_n as_o to_o their_o body_n and_o be_v raise_v to_o heaven_n as_o elias_n be_v in_o fiery_a chariot_n and_o their_o soul_n be_v save_v but_o second_o though_o we_o do_v not_o know_v how_o they_o shall_v be_v save_v yet_o the_o lord_n know_v how_o to_o deliver_v the_o godly_a out_o of_o temptation_n when_o the_o unjust_a shall_v be_v reserve_v to_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n to_o be_v punish_v 2_o pet._n 2.9_o and_o we_o know_v that_o faith_n have_v quench_v the_o violence_n of_o fire_n heb._n 11.34_o and_o that_o the_o fire_n that_o burn_v up_o
