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.

for_o all_o and_o every_o one_o of_o mankind_n none_o of_o they_o except_v wh●ch_o bold_a assertion_n must_v needs_o be_v erroneous_a because_o it_o cross_v all_o such_o scripture_n passage_n as_o
