1.1 In its greatness and bigness;and therefore it is called a great City, Revel 21. 10. And,that great City by way of emphasis;The holy Jerusalem descending out of heaven. Our Saviour Christ saith,2 That in his fathers house there are many Mansions; Who ⟨p. 55⟩can tell how many? For there are in heaven a great multitude,3 which no man could number, of all Nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues. If the Sun be 166times bigger than the Earth, how big is this blessed City?
