The second point is the testimony it self. Behold the Lord cometh &c.] In which observe three points: first, the coming of the Lord: secondly, the judgement of the Lord: thirdly, the cause of it in the 15. verse: To give judgement against all men, &c. First of the party coming: ⟨p. 112⟩Behold the Lord cometh.] Where the Apostle speaketh in the time present, which is put for the time to come: which form of speech showeth the certainty of Christs coming to judgement; who shall as certainly come, as if he were now already coming. Concerning which certainty, it may be demanded first, whence cometh this coming of Christ to be so certain? Ans. From the unchangeable will of God, which hath certainly decreed the same.1 For he hath appointed a day in the which he will judge the world in righteousness. And thus are all other the articles of our faith most certain, in that they are grounded on the unchangeable will and word of God.
