And then the Church hath a desire of this coming. That Christ will come. I need spend ⟨p. 107⟩no time to prove it, for it is an Article of faith, He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. 1And he will come to make an end of what he hath begun here. He came to redeem our souls, he must, and he will come to redeem our bodies from corruption. He came to be judged, and to die for us, he must come to be judge of the quick, and dead, he came to contract us, he will come again to marry us, and to take us where he is. He loved us so, that he came from heaven to earth where we are, to take our nature, that he might be a fit Husband, but he will come to take us to himself, we shall enter into his Chamber, to the Palace of the great King, Psal. 45.2 He will come; there is no question of that.
