A58184Now if the Po pours so much Water hourly into the Sea, what then must the Danow and the Nile do?
A58184Of which what Account or Reason can we give, but the motion of the Earth from West to East?
A58184Or lastly, How the several Individuals of these kinds, shall contrary to their primitive Natures, live and dure immortally?
A58184Or must we say with Oriegn, That they are in a mutable state too, and that Heaven will have an end as well as Hell?

A58184These Bodies being found dispersed all over the Earth, they of the contrary Opinion demand how they come there?
A58184They enquire whether the Vegetables, and Creatures endued with Sense shall all be restored, or some only?
A58184This answers the second Question, What the Means and Instruments of this Dissolution shall be?
A58184To him I reply, How then can he confirm the Blessed, reserving their Liberty?
