Hitherto of the judgement it self. The consequents of the judgement follow; and they are five: first, the firing of the world, that is, the dissolution of the world by a wonderful fire that shall enclose all, so as the world shall not appear, till it be renewed again, and come out of that fire as out of a furnace: for as the Apostle Peter saith, The heavens being on fire shall pass away and be dissolved with a noise, and the elements shall melt with heat, and the earth with the works thereof shall be burnt upy. And there shall be then new heavens, and new earth, that is, as it were a new refined. And the Apostle John saith, the heavens and the earth shall fly away from the face of him that sitteth on the thronez.

The consequents of the iudgement follow; and they are fiue: first, the firing of the world, that is, the dissolution of the world by a wonderfull fire that shall inclose all, so as the world shall not appeare, till it be renewed againe, and come out of that fire as out of a fornace: for as the Apostle Peter saith, The heauens being on fire shall passe away and be dissolued with a noise, and the elements shall melt with heat, and the earth with the works thereof shall be burnt vpy. And there shall be then new heauens, and new earth, that is, as it were a new refined. And the Apostle Iohn saith, the heauens and the earth shall flie away from the face of him that sitteth on the thronez.
