1. The time of accomplishing of it, [the hour cometh] viz. of Christs death, resurrection, and glorification; for then he drew all men unto him, and then was the Gospel published abroad. Yet this hour was now begun, because that Christ ⟨p. 52⟩was now exhibited. Now this time is called an hour, because it is a set and certain period which God hath appointed, and in which these things should be fulfilled.
