Heavenly.

This City is on earth, but not of earth. This is not terrestrial Jerusalem: tShe is in bondage with her children. She was not only then under the Roman servitude literally: but according to Pauls meaning allegorically, she could not attain the liberty of the Spirit, but abideth under the wrath of God, and horror of conscience. But this Jerusalem is heavenly. uI saw the holy City, new Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a Bride adorned for her husband.
This Citie is on earth, but not of earth. This is not terrestriall Ierusalem: tShe is in bondage with her children. She was not onely then vnder the Romane seruitude literally: but according to Pauls meaning allegorically, shee could not attaine the liberty of the Spirit, but abideth vnder the wrath of God, and horrour of conscience. But this Ierusalem is heauenly. uI saw the holy City, new Ierusalem comming downe from God out of heauen, prepared as a Bride adorned for her husband.
