§ 6. V. It is said to be to meet him in the Air. But no Bible but yours doth say that Christ shall dwell a Thousand years in the Air. And you your self say that at the end of the Thousand years he shall give up his Airy Humane Kingdom: And when he hath removed his dwelling the Inhabitants of the Earthly Paradise will come too late.
