And in the 37 of Ezek. the beginning, the receiving of the Jews there, is set out by the dry Bones that were breathed upon by the breath of God, and so they stood up as an Army, and had life.
Yea, and this shall be as a new Creation: There will be as great works done, as God did when he made the World at first, and he will put forth as great a power. So you have it set forth unto you in the 65. of Isa. There the Prophet prophesying of a Glorious Condition of the Church, what it should be, mark how he doth express it. For behold, I create new Heavens, and a new ⟨p. 21⟩Earth, and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. But be ye glad, and rejoice for ever in that which I Create; for behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her People a Joy. I create (saith he) new Heavens, and a new Earth. When will God do this? Why, saith he, Be glad in it; for behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her People a Joy. When this Jerusalem shall be made the praise of the whole Earth, then there shall be new Heavens, and a new Earth created: That is, there shall be as great a change of things, as if there were new Heavens, and new Earth created: There shall be a mighty glorious power of God manifested towards his Churches, as if God were Creating new Heavens and new Earth again. Oh! we do not know, but that either you or some of your Children, may yet live to see such times as these are.
