3. The Title of [His Kingdom, and eating and drinking] are as fully answered without the middle Kingdom as with it; unless you can prove that those Apostles with Christ, shall dwell, and eat ⟨p. 10⟩and drink a Thousand years on Earth, in their spiritual bodies, or have a middle sort of bodies for that middle Kingdom; and had they not better before, and must they lay those by for worse?

You say, [It cannot be a Throne he hath yet] what! when it is said, He is set down on it?] But Saints must sit with him, you say: And may not he sit down before them? Must he stay till every Saint be with him?
