§. 22. Of the true meaning of this phrase, nor in this world, nor in the world to come.
The Greek word,1 and the Latin also, which we translate World, signifieth rather time, then place. By this World, is meant the time of a mans life here upon earth: by the World to come, all the time from his death proceeding on without end to eternity. Two Worlds are in Scripture given to every man to be in, one from the time of his conception, or birth, to his death; the other from thence for ever: for after death there is no alteration of a mans estate. But because the manifestation of that perpetual and eternal estate is at the great day of judgement, when all shall stand before their Judge, and receive their doom, the beginning of that age, or world to come, is commonly reckoned from the day of judgement: in which respect Christ joineth that world, and the resurrection from the dead together. 2Which being so, it is as evident as may be, that no sin can be forgiven in the World to come.
THe Greeke word,1 and the Latin also, which we translate World, signifieth rather time, then place. By this World, is meant the time of a mans life here vpon earth: by the World to come, all the time from his death proceeding on without end to eternity. Two Worlds are in Scripture giuen to euery man to be in, one from the time of his conception, or birth, to his death; the other from thence for euer: for after death there is no alteration of a mans estate. But because the manifestation of that perpetuall and eternall estate is at the great day of iudgement, when all shall stand before their Iudge, and receiue their doome, the beginning of that age, or world to come, is commonly reckoned from the day of iudgement: in which respect Christ ioyneth that world, and the resurrection from the dead together.
