This verse containeth the testimony it self, the preface of which was laid down in the former: wherein two things are to be noted: first, the time when wicked men shall abound in the Church: in the last time.] Secondly, what manner of persons they are; namely, described by two properties: first, they are mockers: secondly, fleshly.
THis verse containeth the testimonie it selfe, the preface of which was laid downe in the former: wherein two things are to bee noted: first, the time when wicked men shall abound in the Church: in the last time.] Secondly, what maner of persons they are; namely, described by two properties: first, they are mockers: secondly, fleshly.
For the time: It is called the last time: which is the time from the Ascension of Christ unto the end of the world. It may be asked, how could this be called the last time, seeing it is sixteen hundred years ago? Ans. It is so called for two causes: first, because it goeth next before the end of the world, and shall be closed up of the last day: 1. Corin. 10.11. To admonish us upon whom the ends of the world are come.
