A30152	The holy citie, or, The new-Jerusalem wherein its goodly light walls, gates, angels, and the manner of their standing, are expounded : also, her length and breadth, together with the golden measuring-reed, explained, and the glory of all unfolded : as also, the numerousness of its inhabitants, and what the tree and water of life are, by which they are sustained / by John Bunyan ...

the_o street_n and_o open_a place_n of_o their_o city_n and_o place_n of_o privilege_n thus_o it_o be_v in_o the_o figure_n when_o the_o city_n jerusalem_n be_v build_v after_o the_o captivity_n as_o

of_o god_n the_o way_n of_o holiness_n and_o newness_n of_o life_n because_o as_o it_o be_v natural_a for_o the_o stranger_n so_o soon_o as_o ever_o he_o be_v enter_v the_o gate_n of_o a_o city_n to_o have_v his_o foot_n in_o the_o street_n of_o the_o city_n so_o it_o be_v natural_a for_o the_o sinner_n so_o soon_o as_o ever_o he_o be_v enter_v into_o the_o church_n by_o christ_n to_o have_v his_o foot_n tread_v gate_n in_o the_o way_n and_o path_n of_o holiness_n wherefore_o it_o be_v usual_a in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o call_v the_o transformatian_n of_o the_o sinner_n 8._o from_o

be_v enter_v in_o to_o the_o new_a jerusalem_n be_v to_o walk_v in_o the_o street_n thereof_o the_o way_n of_o holiness_n even_o the_o way_n in_o which_o man_n learn_v to_o fear_n god_n and_o to_o

the_o perfection_n of_o light_n grace_n faith_n and_o spiritual_a comfort_n that_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o this_o city_n 25._o shall_v then_o enjoy_v daniel_n also_o call_v it_o one_o street_n to_o signify_v the_o same_o thing_n wherefore_o from_o hence_o i_o gather_v that_o then_o all_o saint_n shall_v walk_v as_o before_o i_o have_v make_v appear_v even_o in_o one_o street_n in_o one_o way_n and_o in_o one_o light_n it_o be_v antichrist_n that_o have_v bring_v in_o all_o those_o cross_n by-law_n and_o odd_a nook_n that_o to_o this_o day_n many_o a_o honest_a heart_n do_v great_o lose_v itself_o in_o but_o at_o this_o day_n they_o shall_v be_v otherwise_o mind_v that_o be_v make_v all_o to_o savour_v one_o thing_n and_o to_o walk_v one_o way_n not_o bite_v and_o devour_v each_o

spirit_n one_o faith_n one_o baptism_n 33._o even_o as_o we_o be_v also_o call_v in_o one_o hope_n of_o our_o call_v now_o therefore_o when_o saint_n 27._o have_v the_o rubbish_n of_o antichristian_a

when_o he_o say_v the_o tree_n be_v on_o either_o side_n of_o the_o river_n whence_o by_o the_o way_n note_v yet_o again_o that_o both_o the_o water_n of_o life_n and_o also_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n they_o be_v both_o to_o be_v enjoy_v by_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o this_o city_n in_o the_o way_n of_o holiness_n the_o tree_n be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o street_n and_o the_o river_n run_v

because_o john_n do_v understand_v he_o so_o call_z it_o one_o tree_n to_o wit_n the_o tree_n of_o life_n but_o mark_v again_o so_o far_o as_o the_o river_n go_v so_o far_o the_o tree_n go_v so_o that_o where_o you_o can_v find_v the_o tree_n of_o life_n be_v sure_a there_o be_v none_o of_o the_o water_n of_o life_n no_o christ_n no_o grace_n he_o that_o have_v the_o son_n have_v life_n 36._o
