man_n need_v once_o to_o dream_v of_o a_o habitation_n upon_o earth_n second_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o cause_n yet_o be_v this_o cause_n a_o sufficient_a reason_n to_o all_o sober_a man_n to_o persuade_v they_o of_o the_o use_n of_o the_o new_a earth_n namely_o that_o whereas_o sin_n have_v now_o make_v it_o subject_a to_o corruption_n and_o yet_o the_o first_o purpose_n of_o god_n that_o it_o shall_v remain_v for_o ever_o in_o pure_a estate_n without_o corruption_n have_v not_o sin_n bring_v in_o death_n to_o man_n and_o corruption_n to_o the_o creature_n must_v still_o stand_v and_o therefore_o for_o the_o first_o purpose_n of_o god_n which_o never_o alter_v he_o will_v preserve_v this_o outward_a world_n even_o as_o the_o body_n of_o man_n that_o it_o may_v remain_v before_o

be_v not_o in_o regard_n of_o place_n for_o he_o shall_v have_v go_v to_o heaven_n as_o elias_n and_o enoch_n without_o leave_v behind_o he_o his_o mortal_a part_n and_o that_o without_o pain_n of_o

that_o in_o the_o renew_a estate_n of_o the_o world_n after_o the_o late_a day_n there_o shall_v dwell_v righteousness_n neither_o man_n with_o beast_n or_o one_o with_o another_o shall_v have_v any_o
