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.

3. It is uncertain whether there shall be any Generation on the New Earth: Mr. Beverley saith, They shall multiply so as to compensate with a [much more] for the Jewness of the saved▪ under the first Adam] and each shall live the Thousand years: But Christ saith that the Children of the Resurrection neither Marry nor are given in Marriage, but are like the Angels, and die no more. The doubt is then, whether he call only those in Heaven, and not those on the New Earth, the Children of the Resurrection.
4. It is uncertain whether there shall be any stated visible presence of Christ here, or that only he shall appear as in Heaven, as the Sun doth by its Light; or only sometimes be seen as he was after his Resurrection. And so of the Angels.
5. Its uncertain whether the New Earth shall have any End or Change, or shall be Everlasting. It's certain that the Thousand years Rev. 20. are before it in this Life, but of its Duration God hath said nothing to us.
