and_o new_a earth_n and_o this_o be_v of_o great_a concernment_n that_o we_o understand_v it_o aright_o on_o these_o two_o account_n 1._o because_o the_o present_a heaven_n of_o the_o air_n have_v not_o the_o will_n of_o god_n do_v in_o it_o now_o any_o more_o than_o in_o this_o earth_n 2._o because_o in_o full_a sense_n the_o will_n of_o god_n shall_v not_o be_v do_v in_o the_o new_a earth_n

may_v be_v a_o prayer_n for_o a_o parallelism_n betwixt_o the_o new_a heaven_n and_o the_o new_a earth_n in_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n teach_v we_o by_o jesus_n christ_n as_o in_o the_o new_a
