and_o then_o to_o be_v finish_v and_o satan_n to_o be_v loose_v out_o of_o his_o prison_n again_o to_o who_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o thousand_o year_n have_v respect_n to_o the_o reign_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o saint_n in_o all_o age_n during_o the_o time_n of_o every_o dispensation_n of_o god_n towards_o his_o people_n in_o the_o world_n and_o so_o the_o first_o resurrection_n have_v

resurrection_n be_v more_o glorious_a in_o john_n time_n and_o the_o first_o age_n of_o the_o church_n after_o christ_n than_o before_o under_o the_o law_n so_o it_o shall_v be_v more_o glorious_a yet_o than_o ever_o before_o call_v therefore_o the_o new_a jerusalem_n wherein_o god_n shall_v come_v down_o and_o dwell_v with_o man_n to_o wit_n more_o in_o the_o fullness_n and_o glory_n of_o
