We must next discuss the quality which the world and those who rise again will have after the judgment. Here a threefold matter offers itself to our consideration: (1) The state and quality of the world; (2) The state of the blessed; (3) The state of the wicked.

Under the first head there are five points of inquiry:

(1) Whether there will be a renewal of the world?

• (2) Whether the movement of the heavenly bodies will cease?
• (3) Whether the heavenly bodies will be more brilliant?
• (4) Whether the elements will receive an additional clarity?
• (5) Whether the animals and plants will remain?
