When the Lord Jesus shall show him self from heaven. There are many which are ashamed of Christ, and of his word, in the presence of such as are enemies to the Cross of Christ, and have countenance and authority in this world. But a time shall come, when Christ will show himself from heaven accompanied with his holy Angels. Then will •e also be ashamed of them, and put them from ⟨p. 244⟩his presence: then will he render bengeaunc• to them that have hated his trueth: they shall then know whose members they have killed, and whose word and gospel it was, which they so despitefully reproached. Then the s•ake of their torments shall ascend evermore, and they shall have no rest day, nor night. In this manner shall God triumph in victory over the wicked, by judging them to everlasting destruction: and will show himself wonderful in giving rest, and joy, and glory, and everlasting blessedness to all those which love his trueth, and believe in him.
When the Lorde Iesus shall shewe him selfe from heauen. There are many which are ashamed of Christ, and of his word, in the presence of such as are enimies to the Crosse of Christ, and haue countenance and auctoritie in this worlde. But a time shall come, when Christ will shewe himselfe from heauen accompanied with his holie Angels. Then will •e also be ashamed of them, and put them from ⟨p. 244⟩his presence: then will he render bengeaunc• to them that haue hated his trueth: they shall then know whose members they haue killed, and whose word and gospel it was, which they so despitefully reproched. Then the s•ake of their torments shall ascend euermore, and they shall haue no rest daie, nor night. In this maner shal God triumph in victorie ouer the wicked, by iudging them to euerlasting destruction: and wil shew himselfe wonderful in giuing rest, and ioie, and glorie, and euerlasting blessednesse to all those which loue his trueth, and beléeue in him.
