Answ. What that glory which the Elect which thou spoke of in thy fourth querie shal inherit which was and is defiled, it is to be in hell, in utter darknesse for ever and ever, where all the unclean are, and thou would know where it is, it is without the gate of the City, among the dogs and whoremongers, and lyars, and deceivers, and whatsoever is defiled shall be trodden in the wine-presse of the wrath of God for ever and ever, where is weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. But as for the Elect wheat of Christ, which thou sayest is the children of Adam, thou speakest thou knowes not what, the first man is of the earth earthly, and he begate his image, and that which is earthly shall never inherit, but are to have their portion with Cain, where thou art that hath uncovered thy nakednesse, but the Elect and the wheat shall be gathered in∣to the barn, and they are not, nor ever were they defiled, but shall reign with the Lamb in the new Jerusalem for ever and ever, where no unclean thing can enter, nor nothing that destroyes or defiles in that holy mountain of the Lord, if thou have an ear thou may hear.
