god_n and_o for_o the_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n as_o in_o heaven_n and_o on_o earth_n as_o be_v further_a to_o be_v make_v out_o in_o the_o explain_v that_o petition_n and_o it_o do_v assure_v we_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o petition_n be_v not_o that_o there_o may_v be_v only_o such_o a_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n as_o be_v before_o jesus_n christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o since_o christ_n come_v universal_a among_o the_o saint_n viz._n with_o that_o sincerity_n and_o in_o that_o do_v it_o that_o be_v of_o the_o same_o kind_n with_o that_o in_o heaven_n such_o indeed_o there_o have_v be_v but_o alas_o it_o have_v be_v but_o in_o so_o very_o low_a degree_n as_o bear_v no_o proportion_n so_o that_o except_o there_o be_v a_o new_a state_n of_o thing_n such_o a_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n can_v never_o arise_v to_o any_o perfection_n see_v it_o have_v not_o do_v it_o in_o 1600_o year_n and_o we_o can_v have_v no_o reason_n except_o such_o a_o kingdom_n come_v to_o expect_v it_o in_o 1600_o or_o 16000_o more_o if_o time_n can_v so_o long_o continue_v all_o which_o make_v it_o beyond_o all_o doubt_n that_o this_o petition_n can_v never_o be_v fulfil_v but_o by_o such_o a_o kingdom_n as_o shall_v bring_v heaven_n and_o earth_n to_o such_o a_o parallel_n and_o therefore_o as_o shall_v be_v show_v in_o the_o explain_v the_o petition_n itself_o the_o prayer_n be_v most_o strict_o and_o yet_o most_o intentional_o for_o a_o exact_a paralellism_n between_o the_o new_a heaven_n and_o the_o new_a earth_n as_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n and_o wherein_o righteousness_n shall_v dwell_v alike_o it_o be_v therefore_o a_o prayer_n not_o only_o for_o the_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n on_o earth_n but_o also_o in_o heaven_n viz_o in_o that_o new_a heaven_n and_o that_o such_o a_o heaven_n and_o earth_n may_v be_v in_o a_o parallel_n one_o to_o another_o according_a to_o the_o promise_n so_o that_o the_o prayer_n if_o we_o speak_v sincere_o of_o the_o matter_n be_v not_o direct_o that_o the_o will_n of_o god_n may_v be_v do_v in_o this_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v now_o do_v in_o the_o three_o heaven_n above_o we_o where_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o holy_a spirit_n of_o angel_n and_o saint_n be_v but_o that_o there_o may_v be_v such_o a_o parallel_n new_a heaven_n and_o new_a earth_n although_o it_o be_v most_o true_a the_o present_a sanctification_n of_o the_o name_n kingdom_n and_o will_v of_o god_n do_v in_o the_o high_a heaven_n be_v the_o original_a exemplar_n of_o all_o and_o therefore_o the_o new_a jerusalem_n come_v down_o from_o god_n out_o of_o heaven_n into_o that_o new_a heaven_n of_o the_o air_n and_o so_o there_o be_v a_o parallel_n on_o the_o new_a earth_n betwixt_o that_o new_a heaven_n 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 as_o it_o be_v now_o in_o the_o high_a heaven_n by_o way_n of_o parallel_n 1._o becaose_o the_o present_a heaven_n or_o air_n be_v by_o scripture_n make_v the_o habitation_n and_o residence_n of_o spiritual_a wickedness_n for_o they_o be_v spiritual_a wickedness_n in_o heavenlies_n that_o must_v be_v in_o heavenly_a place_n for_o they_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v in_o any_o other_o sense_n in_o heavenlies_n nor_o can_v they_o be_v in_o any_o other_o heavenly_a place_n but_o the_o air_n the_o heaven_n of_o the_o divine_a presence_n can_v be_v no_o residence_n for_o bad_a spirit_n satan_n with_o his_o army_n and_o host_n of_o bad_a spirit_n be_v call_v the_o prince_n of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o air_n that_o be_v he_o have_v under_o divine_a permission_n a_o residence_n in_o the_o air_n and_o when_o ever_o god_n have_v use_v for_o his_o sathanick_n ministry_n he_o have_v undoubted_o great_a command_n there_o so_o there_o be_v now_o a_o parallel_n betwixt_o the_o will_n of_o god_n not_o do_v by_o those_o spiritual_a wickedness_n in_o the_o air_n or_o the_o heavenlies_n and_o the_o not_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n by_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o wicked_a one_o on_o earth_n but_o when_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n shall_v come_v these_o wicked_a spirit_n shall_v be_v under_o a_o obligation_n to_o dislodg_v from_o their_o heavenlies_n and_o whether_o there_o be_v not_o a_o force_n upon_o they_o by_o the_o fire_n of_o that_o day_n i_o will_v not_o dispute_v but_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a they_o be_v lay_v hold_v of_o bind_v and_o chain_v and_o lock_v up_o in_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n and_o can_v come_v out_o to_o deceive_v the_o nation_n for_o those_o 1000_o year_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n thus_o it_o may_v be_v very_o well_o understand_v there_o 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 heaven_n and_o in_o the_o new_a earth_n to_o be_v effect_v and_o bring_v to_o pass_v by_o his_o kingdom_n and_o this_o be_v the_o most_o true_a and_o proper_a sense_n of_o this_o petition_n as_o in_o heaven_n and_o upon_o earth_n 2._o the_o will_n of_o god_n shall_v not_o be_v do_v at_o all_o in_o the_o new_a earth_n as_o it_o be_v now_o in_o the_o high_a of_o heaven_n by_o way_n of_o parallel_n for_o though_o it_o be_v true_a the_o will_n of_o god_n do_v now_o in_o the_o high_a heaven_n by_o angel_n and_o saint_n be_v the_o first_o exemplar_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o the_o parallel_n to_o which_o it_o answer_v but_o the_o new_a heaven_n be_v the_o parallel_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o the_o angel_n and_o saint_n do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v out_o of_o body_n and_o in_o a_o state_n of_o spirit_n and_o so_o can_v be_v a_o agreeable_a parallel_n jesus_n christ_n be_v so_o transcendent_a he_o in_o his_o own_o person_n can_v be_v n●_n parallel_n but_o betwixt_o holy_a spirit_n and_o spirit_n in_o so_o mean_a and_o sinful_a a_o state_n there_o be_v so_o great_a odds_o there_o can_v be_v no_o parallel_n but_o betwixt_o christ_n as_o the_o head_n and_o his_o saint_n of_o the_o first_o resurrection_n in_o incorruptible_a body_n in_o the_o new_a heaven_n and_o the_o saint_n the_o live_n the_o remain_v on_o the_o new_a earth_n in_o change_v body_n that_o shall_v not_o die_v there_o shall_v be_v though_o not_o a_o perfect_a equality_n yet_o so_o great_a a_o likeness_n in_o the_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n as_o in_o the_o new_a heaven_n by_o one_o and_o in_o the_o new_a earth_n by_o the_o other_o as_o shall_v fill_v out_o the_o paralellism_n to_o great_a glory_n of_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n as_o in_o heaven_n and_o upon_o earth_n and_o thus_o whether_o we_o take_v this_o petition_n in_o the_o more_o general_a sense_n and_o as_o it_o be_v universal_o expound_v viz._n that_o the_o will_n of_o god_n may_v be_v do_v on_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v now_o in_o the_o high_a heaven_n or_o whether_o we_o take_v it_o in_o the_o more_o true_a near_o strict_a sense_n wherein_o there_o be_v so_o great_a evidence_n our_o lord_n defign_v it_o it_o be_v very_o evident_a it_o be_v a_o petition_n that_o must_v be_v answer_v in_o some_o state_n on_o earth_n and_o not_o in_o the_o heaven_n of_o eternity_n only_o in_o perfection_n and_o here_o only_o in_o some_o degree_n or_o likeness_n of_o kind_a in_o regard_n of_o sincerity_n and_o further_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a upon_o a_o new_a argument_n there_o be_v a_o parallel_n betwixt_o the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n in_o this_o prayer_n it_o be_v not_o say_v therefore_o on_o earth_n as_o in_o heaven_n but_o as_o in_o heaven_n and_o upon_o earth_n but_o such_o a_o parallel_n can_v be_v in_o either_o the_o body_n of_o saint_n now_o on_o earth_n so_o unfit_a for_o the_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n nor_o in_o a_o earth_n so_o under_o the_o curse_n as_o this_o be_v that_o yield_v nothing_o

therefore_o the_o new_a earth_n that_o the_o come_v kingdom_n of_o god_n by_o jesus_n christ_n bring_v with_o it_o have_v now_o dispatch_v this_o first_o and_o great_a argument_n that_o this_o

which_o we_o call_v the_o evil_a of_o punishment_n and_o of_o affliction_n in_o the_o world_n which_o be_v so_o from_o the_o want_n of_o such_o a_o plentiful_a and_o happy_a state_n that_o may_v
