THE WORLD That now is.
THE VVORLD That now is.
THE holy Scripture of Truth speaketh of three Worlds; viz. The WORLD that was, 2 Pet. 3.6. The WORLD that now is, called this WORLD; Mat. 12.32. & the WORLD to come, Heb. 2.5. The WORLD that now is, is the Subject of the first Part of this Treatise: And the WORLD to come, shall be the subject of the latter Part thereof. The principal matter of which we intend to treat touching the WORLD that now is, doth concern the first Coming of Christ into this WORLD, when the WORD was made Flesh, and dwelt among us, Joh. ⟨p. 2⟩1.14. The chief matter of the latter Part of this Treatise doth concern the Second Coming of Christ in the WORLD to come. Wherein there will be New Heavens, a New Earth, and a New Jerusalem, and all things will be new-created, Rev. 21.1-5.
