Such shall be the show and sight of the Son of GOD, he shall come down with majesty from heaven: the Trumpet of God shall sound, and be heard from the one end of the heaven, to the other: and whosoever shall ⟨p. 175⟩hear it, shall quake for fear. Then shall he be the judge over all flesh. Then be shall show him self to be King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. Then shall he not come in humility, meekness, and mercy: but with dread and terror of judgement, and justice. Not with twelve poor Apostles: but with twelve thousand Angels to attend upon him. Not in the preaching of the Gospel, & calling sinners to repentance: but in the sound of a Trumpet, wherewith all the corners of the earth shall be amazed. Then shall he not say, come unto me all ye that travail, and be loaden, and I will refresh you: I am sent to the lost Sheep of Israel. He shall not say, Father forgive them, for they know not what they do. But, you have been ashamed of me, and of my word, before men: therefore now will I be ashamed of you before my heavenly father.

Then shal he be the iudge ouer al flesh. Then be shal shew him selfe to be King of Kings, and Lorde of Lords. Then shal he not come in humilitie, méeke nesse, and mercy: but with dread and terrour of iudgement, and iustice. Not with twelue poore Apostles: but with twelue thousande Angels to attende vpon him. Not in the preaching of the Gospel, & calling sinners to repentance: but in the sounde of a Trumpet, wherewith al the corners of the earth shal be amazed. Then shal he not say, come vnto mee al ye that trauaile, and be loaden, and I wil refresh you: I am sent to the lost Shéepe of Israel. He shal not say, Father forgiue them, for they knowe not what they do. But, you haue béene ashamed of me, and of my worde, before men: therefore now wil I be ashamed of you before my heauenly father.
