The glorious kingdom of Christ, described and clearly vindicated against the bold asserters of a future calling and reign of the Jews, and 1000 years before the conflagration and the asserters of the 1000 years kingdom after the conflagration : opening the promise of the new heaven and earth and the everlastingness of Christ's kingdom against their debasing it, who confine it to 1000 years ... : answering Mr. Tho.

§14. IX. Either the feigned Conversion of these Jews will be before the burning of the World, or after: But neither before nor after: Therefore not at all.
1. If it be Before, either it will be the Thousand years Reign, or some part of the Thousand years Reign, or before it all.
1. If it be Before, either it will be the Thousand years Reign, or some part of the Thousand years Reign, or beffore it all.
If it be the Thousand years Reign, then 1. The World must last yet a Thousand year after the Jews Conversion: Which few believe. 2. And then there will be no Thousand years Reign after the Conflagration, which our chief Millenaries will not endure: For there is but One Thousand years Reign looked for by them. 3. And then the New Jerusalem state shall have the numberless Enemies of the Armies of Gog and Magog: And shall fall to a Laodicean Lukewarmness: What! After so many Millions of Miracles?
2. But if they say it will be After the burning of the World, that is before disproved: For the Thousand years are past before that Conflagration. Gog and Magog, and the numberless Enemies will not survive the Burning, nor live in the New Earth, wherein dwelleth Righteousness.
