There were all kind of witnesses then of his first coming, Angels, men, women, shepherds, the Devils themselves, The Trinity from heaven ⟨p. 19⟩witnessed of him: so for his second coming there are witnesses. Christ himself saith he will come. The Angels say, This Jesus that ye see go up shall come again. It is an Article of our faith, that he shall come. The Spirit of God in every Christian saith come, and that is not in vain, the desires of the Spirit of God must be fulfilled, therefore he shall come; and the Spirit of God stirs up our spirits to say come. There are all kind of proofs, & arguments for it. It is an Article of our faith: it is laid here for a ground, and therefore I will not enlarge my self in it: but come to the next point. Christ will appear, and We shall also appear with him in glory.
There were all kind of witnesses then of his first comming, Angels, men, women, shepheards, the Devils themselves, The Trinitie from heaven ⟨p. 19⟩witnessed of him: so for his second comming there are witnesses. Christ himselfe saith hee will come. The Angels say, This Iesus that ye see goe up shall come againe. It is an Article of our faith, that he shall come. The Spirit of God in every Christian saith come, and that is not in vaine, the desires of the Spirit of God must be fulfilled, therefore he shall come; and the Spirit of God stirres up our spirits to say come. There are all kind of proofes, & arguments for it. It is an Article of our faith: it is laid here for a ground, and therefore I will not inlarge my selfe in it: but come to the next point. Christ will appeare, and We shall also appeare with him in glory.
We shall appear, and appear with him and appear in glory with him. Christ himself his glory is in some sort hid now: for though he be King of the Church, yet we see what enemies are in the Church; and Satan ruffles in the Church a great while, and the nearer he is to his end, the more he rageth; so that Christs glory seems to be hid; but Christ then shall appear, and his Church shall appear with him in glory.
