In several Ages it had several Forms in Adam's time it was outwardly most glorious as well as inwardly perfect in the Ten Fathers time before the Flood it was in Families with a mean outward Glory in the time of Tabernacles made by Moses and of the Temple built by Solomon it had a world of g●orious Types in the New Testament in the first 300 Years it was mean in Constantine's time and downwards it had a great deal of outward Glory but of late times in many places very mean yet still we truly confess one universal Church in Kind Nature Essence and i● internal Form when Christ's time shall ●ome he will make the Church Spiritually and Eternally glorious and she will sing Allelujah for her safe Delivery at the ultimate Day of Judgment but how long this ultimate Day may be how long ere the Evening of the Millenary Day will be in coming we cannot t●ll because the Prophets of the Old Testament in general have spoken of the Times of Restitution but have not spoken of all things that are to be f●lfill'd and many things in the New Testament the Apostles tell us were hid in old time and St Iohn's Six first Seals Trumpe●s and Viols shew as much as also the binding of Satan c. Some think the Opinion of the Thousand Years makes Christ's Kingdom to be Earthly but the Scriptures make it to be Spiritual neither doth the Word of God make the Kingdom of the M●diatour of two kinds and of a different nature but one and uniform from the Beginning to the End Luke 1.32 Also in this New Creation when things shall be re-created or made a-new there shall be no noisome Fumes Vapours or any noxious Exhalations fier● or watry c. to cause Sickness Death it self 〈◊〉 then be swallowed up in Victory 1 Cor. 15. and all Sorrow removed Rev. 21.4 the Air shall not be an Habita●ion for Devils as formerly for which he was called Prince of the Air Eph. 2.2 but the Devil shall be chained up Re● 20.2 and every Vnclean Spirit shall be removed far away from the Church Zech. 13.2 As in the first Creation God made all things in a short time so will it be in the new Creation for Christ will then do great things suddenly Isai. 66.8 The Appearance of Christ shall be on a sudden Matth. 24.27 the Change of the Believers surviving at Christ's Coming shall be effected in a moment in the Twinkling of an Eye 1
