A58888 A discoverie of the vvorld to come according to the Scriptures the first part thereof being didactical, or such as contains a form of positive doctrine : wherein 1. 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.

come_v from_o the_o earth_n shall_v meet_v in_o these_o corrupt_a cloud_n and_o air_n which_o now_o be_v and_o so_o i_o may_v well_o gather_v from_o this_o place_n that_o the_o world_n to_o come_v shall_v begin_v immediate_o or_o sudden_o upon_o the_o dissolution_n of_o this_o present_a world_n which_o position_n thus_o clear_v cross_v a_o certain_a use_n opinion_n of_o mr_n mede_n revelation_n mede_n in_o his_o book_n on_o the_o revelation_n for_o though_o he_o grant_v that_o the_o world_n to_o come_v shall_v not_o begin_v before_o this_o present_a world_n shall_v be_v dissolve_v yet_o he_o think_v that_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n shall_v continue_v for_o a_o thousand_o year_n and_o thereupon_o shall_v follow_v the_o world_n to_o come_v but_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v what_o he_o

if_o he_o mean_v the_o day_n of_o sentence_n i_o wonder_v he_o shall_v say_v the_o day_n of_o judgement_n shall_v continue_v a_o thousand_o year_n see_v no_o good_a reason_n can_v be_v give_v why_o the_o lord_n shall_v so_o long_o deliberate_a about_o the_o sentence_n of_o judgement_n notwithstanding_o then_o this_o opinion_n of_o he_o i_o be_o still_o of_o the_o opinion_n that_o the_o world_n

the_o second_o adam_n 2._o the_o reason_n why_o dead_a man_n and_o woman_n shall_v rise_v again_o be_v because_o they_o have_v reasonable_a soul_n live_v while_o their_o body_n be_v dead_a as_o abraham_n isaac_n jacob_n dives_n lazarus_n be_v now_o alive_a in_o their_o soul_n their_o body_n be_v dead_a but_o other_o creature_n as_o bird_n beast_n fish_n have_v no_o soul_n live_v while_o their_o body_n be_v dead_a for_o there_o be_v this_o difference_n betwixt_o a_o man_n and_o a_o beast_n that_o when_o a_o man_n die_v his_o spirit_n live_v and_o ascend_v to_o god_n that_o give_v it_o but_o when_o a_o beast_n die_v his_o spirit_n die_v with_o
he_o and_o return_n to_o dust_n which_o be_v a_o matter_n well_o know_v &_o consider_v but_o of_o a_o few_o therefore_o solomon_n say_v who_o know_v the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n that_o go_v upward_o
