Now the great
thing that
we are to
doe,
it
is
in

two
.particulars.
Firll
,
To
open
to
you what is
the
meaning
of this
what

by the
kingdome of Heaven.
-
And.then fecondly; To
apply
the kingdome
of Heaven to
fuch
as

of

(

to

Glory of

Generali,
but onely
fo

here,
that
is
more peculiarly applicable
to
the poore

viz.
three
forts

in
the
kingdome of Heaven,
which
will appeare
farther,
botil
in the opening
of
thekingdome
of Heaven
what
it
is, and
therm
the
application
of
it
unto thefe
three
forts
of poore people.'
For the
firfl
then
,
The kingdome of
Heaven.
By
the
kingdome
of
Heaven is
underflood
not
firílly the
,Glory of the
Saints
that
they
f]hall
have
to
all
eternity;But the
Rate
of
the
Meifias,that's
the
king
of
Heaven: The
ftate,I

ofthe
Mefl'ias
after
his
Coming into the
world.,
and all
the
good
things
that
he brings with him
;hat's
the
kingdome
of
Heavew.which is
here meant
:
There
-s
the kingdome
of Gods
power whereby
he rules
over
the
world
And then
there's
the
kingdome that
he hath
liven
to
his Son
the Mediator
; It's
the
fecond kingdome
that's here meant.
When God
had
made
this,
world,
he
himfelf reign'd over
it,and
was
the
King
of
-it;
But
the world that he made was fpoild with
fin,
and
fo
God
could
not
have
that Glory
from
the
world
that
he
made
it
for
;
'Therefore
the
Lord
he_was
pleafed to,ere&
anew world,
anotherfpirirual
heavenly
world,
to Clorifie
himfelfe in
i,n
another
rranner,
more
fpiriruall and heavenly
then
in
the
for-
mer world,
and he
makes
his on
to
be
the
King
of that
