7 17 The Greatness of for Kingdom under the whole Heaven, shall be given to the People of the Saints of the most High, whose Kingdom is an Everlasting Kingdom, and all Dominions shall serve and Obey Him. Mark, 'Tis a Kingdom [under] the whole Heaven, that is propounded; I know not by what Rule then, it should be Expounded, A Kingdom [in] the Third Heaven. Briefly, Look back upon the Image that N•bat•adi•g a• had of the Four Monarchies, & you'• see a Two-fold State on the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. First, that Kingdom ha's the State of a small State; which l•es in the Homage that our Lord Jesus, ha's from a few people here and there, while the Fourth [or the Roman] •sonarchy is yet a live. But then that Kingdom ha's the State of a Mountain; which will be when the Glory of our Lord shall fill the whole Earth, upon the Dissipation of the last Monarchy which is adverse thereunto. Then shall we have the Answer to that Ancient Prayer, Lord, Let thy Man be Hallowed, Let thy Kingdom come, Let thy Hell be done an Earth, as it is in Heaven!
