it a new world a world to come For the second Adam for the substance the same world shall be restored which was lost in Adam this God will do before he hath done with it and this restitution of it is the world to come Now then why is it called A world to come It is called so though the foundation of it be now laid and was laid then when our Lord and Saviour was upon earth the foundation of it is laid in the new creature As the first creation began the old world so this new creature begins the new world and as the old world was six days in making so this new world is not perfected at once the new creature that is in your hearts it is but the beginning of it Mark in Heb. 2. how this new world is begun and but begun and when it began Ver. 2. If the word spoken by Angels was steadfast how shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation which at first began to be spoken of by our Lord and was confirmed to us by them that heard him God also bearing them witnesse c. For unto Angels hath he not put into subjection the world to come whereof we speak its plaine hee speaks before of the preaching of the Gospel which was begun to be preached by Christ and though the Angels delivered the Law yet this Gospel which is the Kingdome of Heaven and the beginning of the world to come whereof we now speak this Gospel was not delivered by Angels this world to come was not subjected to them they preached it not neither shall they have to do in that world which the Gospel begins so that you see this world to come began when Christ began to preach and therefore observe the language of the Gospel Repent saith John the Baptist for the kingdingdome of Heaven is at hand the world to come is coming upon you so our Saviour Mark 1. 14. Mat. 16. 28. There be some standing here that shall not dye saith Christ and yet all were dead that stood there long ago they shall not dye saith he till they see the Sonne of man come in his Kingdome The foundation of this world was laid by Christ in bringing in the Gospel and it was he that was Prophesied of in Dan. 2. 44. In the dayes of these Kings whiles Principalites and Powers were standing he that meant to raigne in the world came stealing in upon it In the dayes of these Kings shall the God of Heaven set up a Kingdome that shall never be destroyed c. This new world began in the flourishing and height of the Roman Monarchie what did Christ when he came into the world and afterwards went up to Heaven he began this world before that time the Devill was worshipped as the God of this world in all parts of it Christ he flings him downe Luke 10. 17 18. I saw Satan fall down like lightning Christ destroyed the Devil in all those heathen Oracles whereby people were deceived when heathenisme did not prevaile then did Jewisme shew it selfe and Christ he throws that down too by the preaching of the Gospel the Apostle cals this a shaking of the earth There was a great deal of the old world gone presently and fell down before this new world Jesus Christ he converted by the Apostles millions of soules over all the world in 2 Cor. 5. 17. Conversion is there expressed by the passing away of old things this is the first dayes work for the world is yet to come this is but a delivering us out of this present evill world and not a subjecting of it to Christ as in Gal. 1. 4. When Christ threw down heathenisme and Jewisme it was but the first dayes work like a new naile that being strucken in puts out the old one by degrees This kingdome of Christs shall break in peeces and consume all other kingdomes Dan. 2. 44. this will eat out all the Monarchies and glory of the world Now after this first days work of throwing down heathenisme and Jewisme then came a night of Popery wch was set up in the room thereof what will Christ do before he hath done he will have a second days work and will not cease till he hath thrown down every ragg all that drosse and defilement that Antichrist and Popery brought into the world We now are under the second days work we are working up still to a purer world it is still this new world working up to its perfection and Jesus Christ will never rest till he hath not onely thrown out all the drosse of this world both of doctrine and worship which conformity to the world hath brought in But for a second degree of this work Jesus Christ will not rest till he hath brought in the generallity of men in the world to be subject to himselfe the world according to Scripture account consists of Jews and Gentiles and how bitterly doth the Apostle complaine in his time of Gods cutting off the Jewes the generality of the Nation was cast off and for the Gentiles saith he Who hath beleived our report There was very few of them in comparison that did come in to Christ but there will come a time when this new world shall have a further perfection when the generality of mankinde Jew and Gentile shall come into Christ The world was made for Christ and he will have it before he have done Rom. 11. 26. All Israel shall be saved There he tels us of a new world of the Jewes and for the Gentiles he tels you They shall be cast in the vaile shall be taken from off all nations Isa. 25. 7. And that which is so much aleadged for unity shall one day be fulfilled but it will be when Christ is Lord of all the earth and not till then Christians will not agree till then here will be a brave world indeed that will be another degree of that world to come One shepheard and one sheepfold of Jewes and Gentiles and that as large as all the world John 10. 16. This was never yet fulfilled Jewes and Gentiles were never yet one sheepfold together but they shall be so one day Read the Prophets and you shall read there of strange things of glorious times that shall be here upon earth of all Nations coming into the Church the mountains of the Lords house being set on the top of the mountains and all Nations flowing unto it and of great prosperity they shall have which was never yet fulfilled and there are many fall in and acknowledge thus much that there shall be a glorious church on earth when the Jews shall be called but there is a third thing which is much controverted which here followeth The third degree of this new world is this that vvhen this glorious time comes that Jesus Christ as we have said will call home both Jews and Gentiles and have a new world in respect of the multitudes that shall come into him Christ
