Secondly, This word pure, and clear as Crystal: It also showeth us that at the day of New Jerusalem the Doctrine of Grace shall be cleansed from all those ⟨p. 255⟩dirty and muddy inventions, that Sin, Satan and the Wisdom of this world hath thrown into this River, and into its goodly Crystal Streams; I say, at this day they shall not come near it, neither shall the rubbish they have already cast into it any more be there for ever.
