All the fore-mentioned Instances by experience are known to consume by degrees; So do all things here below: As for the Heavens, they may be said to wax old as doth a garment, in that they are appointed to an end, to an end I say of what they are now, 2 Pet. 3. 10. The longer therefore they have continued, the nearer they approach to that end; as a garment the longer it is worn, the nearer it is to its end.
The comparison betwixt heavens and garments is to be taken not simply of the manner of their coming to an end, by decaying and wasting more and more, but indefinitely in regard of the end it self, namely, that they shall have an end.
