be_v move_v in_o respect_n of_o its_o essence_n because_o this_o shall_v continue_v not_o only_o until_o but_o after_o its_o new_a creation_n i_o infer_v then_o that_o the_o world_n to_o come_v shall_v be_v the_o same_o with_o this_o for_o essence_n and_o essential_a property_n though_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v the_o same_o with_o it_o for_o substance_n and_o quality_n these_o six_o ground_n thus_o clear_v make_v for_o the_o discovery_n use_v of_o three_o error_n the_o first_o error_n be_v of_o those_o who_o think_v that_o the_o world_n to_o come_v shall_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o bless_a heaven_n or_o three_o heaven_n which_o now_o be_v which_o opinion_n as_o i_o take_v it_o have_v be_v effectual_o confute_v before_o in_o my_o second_o section_n and_o so_o i_o need_v say_v no_o more_o of_o it_o in_o this_o place_n the_o second_o be_v the_o error_n of_o those_o who_o think_v that_o the_o world_n to_o come_v shall_v be_v the_o same_o for_o substance_n with_o this_o present_a world_n which_o error_n as_o i_o conceive_v have_v be_v substantial_o refute_v in_o my_o two_o last_o ground_n upon_o this_o section_n for_o though_o i_o grant_v in_o one_o of_o they_o that_o the_o world_n to_o come_v shall_v be_v the_o same_o for_o essence_n with_o this_o world_n yet_o i_o have_v show_v in_o the_o other_o that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v the_o same_o for_o substance_n with_o it_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v say_v no_o more_o at_o this_o time_n concern_v this_o matter_n the_o three_o be_v the_o error_n of_o those_o who_o think_v that_o the_o world_n to_o come_v as_o a_o continent_n shall_v not_o consist_v of_o new_a heaven_n and_o a_o new_a earth_n because_o say_v they_o where_o ever_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o new_a heaven_n and_o a_o new_a

they_o make_v use_v of_o a_o figurative_a or_o allegorical_a interpretation_n when_o the_o proper_a and_o literal_a sense_n be_v only_o right_a and_o orthodox_n 3._o because_o they_o wrest_v many_o
