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.

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.
3. And if they say that it will be but some part of the Thousand years, or a short time before the Conflagration. 1. The Thousand years will not be divided, part before the Burning, and part in the next World. 2. And so short a Reign of the Jews, as shall end before the Thousand years, and Burning, will not answer the glorious preparation of so many Millions of Miracles, nor the Doctrine of their so speedy Apostasy after, as to prepare for the Incendium.
