But shall we not imagine, that ther• will be then to be seen on the Earth ▪ some sweet Reflections of the Light, which the City of Glorified Saints will sh•d down upon it? Yes; Tis not ill done by those Interpreters [Provided alw••• ▪ they do not Exclude th• […] ▪ which they are […]] I say, Tis […] Ill don• •y […] who in the Vision that is now […] us, look •o find the State of t•• Church […] Earth, after th• Approaching Fall of Antichrist. We have a world of Reason to Believe, That the Second Woe is past away; and that we are entering into the Sev••th ⟨p. 4⟩Day of the Romish Jericho, •nd that b••ck, [But, Oh! Let i• be Brief!] Time, wh•• the Vials of the Wrath of God, […] the most Woeful Plagues that ever […] heard of, are to be poured out […] the Antichristian World. When […] fearful Dispensation is over, then ▪ th•• comes on that State of th• Church on Earth, which will answer the Description, that is here given us, of a New Jer•s•l•m. There has been a Time, when the City of R•me, so extended her Pri iledges and her Obligations that — Orbis erat; People all over the World, were the Fre•-men of that mighty City. There will b a Time, when Jerusalem shall be Literally Rebuilt, and People all over th […] shall be under the […] of […] Holy City. — Orbis erit.
