Again, pass not bold conjectures in determining the place where Christ shall come to judge the world: many men where the Scripture is silent do run into many strong conceits to determine that which the Scripture doth not, many Books do determine the place where Christ shall come to judge the world, and that is in the Valley of Jehoshaphat, and there is one Text which seems to carry it that way; which is in Joel 3. 12. Let the Heathen be awaked, and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, for there will I sit to judge all the Heathen round about. Here they do conjecture that Christ shall come to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, and there he shall judge all the world, and I shall, to show the vanity and wickedness of these, give these five demonstrations.
Againe, passe not bold conjectures in determining the place where Christ shall come to judge the world: many men where the Scripture is silent doe run into many strong conceits to determine that which the Scripture doth not, many Books doe determine the place where Christ shall come to judge the world, and that is in the Valley of Iehoshaphat, and there is one Text which seemes to carry it that way; which is in Ioel 3. 12. Let the Heathen bee awaked, and come up to the Valley of Iehoshaphat, for there will I sit to judge all the Heathen round about. Here they doe conjecture that Christ shall come to the Valley of Iehoshaphat, and there hee shall judge all the world, and I shall, to shew the vanity and wickednesse of these, give these five demonstrations.
