At our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, Cant. 7. 13. Even at our doores, (not far to seek, not hard to procure) is offer made unto thee of all variety of fruit, whether from the young Converts, or thy more setled professors. Hall. Hereby the Church intimates her readiness to receive Christ at his coming, having as the manner was at Nuptials, prepared all manner of flowers and pleasant fruits to strew his way with, and declare her joyful readinesse to interta in him. Annot.
Hereby is signified variety and plenty of delightful graces, the fame and odour whereof both at home and abroad, neer and far spread it self (for a thing is said to be at the doores, when it is nigh at hand, Mat. 24. 33.) so that now the state of the Church (instructed unto the Kingdome of Heaven) is like the householder which bringeth forth out of his treasury things new and old, Mat. 13. 52. Aynsw.
New heart]
;;A soul renewed and changed, not in substance and faculties of it, but in the qualities, being framed anew after God, in knowledge, righteousness, and true holiness. Ezek. 11. 19. I will put a new heart in thee. He who said, I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit, hath elsewhere said, Make your selves a new heart; how is it then that he who saith Make, saith, I will give it? Why doth he command us to make, if he be the giver? Why doth he give, if man himself be the maker and worker? The cause is, he giveth the thing which he commandeth us to make, and helpeth us whom he hath commanded, that we may do the thing commanded. For through his grace it cometh to passe that man is endowed with a good will, who before naturally had an evill will. August. lib. de Grat. & libero arbitrio. c. 16.

A new heaven, and new earth]
;;The estate and condition of the world after the last judgement, when it shall be purged from vanity and corruption, and restored to such glorious perfection and proportion, as if heaven and earth were created a new. 2 Pet. 3. 13. Rev. 21. 1. I saw a new heaven and a new earth. Rom. 8. 20, 21.
;;2. The blessed estate of the elect under the New Testament, being quite altered and framed (as it were anew) by the Spirit and Gospel of Christ. Isa. 66. 22. The new heavens and the new earth which I shall make, shall remain before me.
I saw a new heaven and a new earth, Rev. 21. 1. … interpretation of this, may be taken out of Heb. 12. 26. Heaven in this part of the Revelation is put for the more pure Church, and the Earth for the degenerating Citizens thereof. Brightman.
It may be spoken of a glorious Church on earth, after the destruction of the Whore, Beast, Dragon, and all covert and open enemies, which new estate will abide till glory come. Security is like to be her only trouble when Christ cometh, 1 …. 5. 2, 3. 2 Pet. 3. 3, 4. Mat. 24. 37, &c. & 25. 1, 2, &c. Bringing in of Eastern Kingdoms to the faith, and destroying all the enemies of the Church, may well be called a new world. Or, it may be taken literally for the happy estate of Gods saints in heaven, in soul, and body, after the day of judgement. Annot.
By a new heaven and a new earth (saith Dent.) is meant the renewed estate of heaven and earth, after this life, in their quality, not in their substance.
This imperfect condiction of the heavens and earth that now are, shall passe away, and there shall be an happy Renovation of all things, the heaven and earth refined to their utmost perfection. Hall. Napier.
Not only become they now spiritual by a true belief in the Gospel, that before were carnall, but also in the end of the world shall the whole bodies of heaven and of earth, as gold in the furnace be purged from filthiness by fire going before the Judge, which both are now defiled with the wickedness of the creatures. Bale.
New …]
;;The City of God, or the heavenly City. Rev. 3. 12. I will write upon him the name of the City of my God; that is, the new Hierusalem.
;;All believers of the Gospel from the first preaching of it, are called New Jerusalem, which is said to be the Mother of us all, by a familiar speech of the Prophets, who as they liken particular Churches to the daughters, so they compare the whole Church with the Mother, Rev. 21. 2. & Gal. 4. 25.
