THE Design of the former part of this Dissertation is to handle the Controversy under Debate ([Greek or Hebrew]) only in a defensive Way, and I have therefore but touched, and not enlarged on the Arguments that prove a future Conversion of the Israelitish Nation. In this last part, which concerns the first Resurrection, to begin with the Millennium, I once purposed to consider the Question ([Greek or Hebrew]) and only by positive Reasons to confirm what I believe is Truth. But I perceive it will be needful to endeavour the Removal of some Objections which detain many sober Minds from the embracing of such a Paradox as that which we have been labouring to evince.
