A Sermon of the latter day.
Second to the Thessalonians. Chapter first. 6 IT is a righteous thing with God, to recompense tribulation unto them that trouble you. 7 And to you which are troubled, rest with us in the Revelation of our Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power, 8 In flaming fire, rendering vengeance unto them that know not God, and that obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 Which shall be punished with everlasting damnation, from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power. 10 When he shall come to be glorified in his Saints, and to be made marvellous in all them that believe (because our testimony towards you was believed) in that day.

One of the principallest Articles of our faith is this, that our Lord Jesus Christ must appear from heaven. Now, it cannot be, that his coming should be unprofitable: and therefore it necessarily followeth, that we must look and wait for our redemption and salvation from thence. Neither must we stand any whit in doubt thereof, because if we should so do, it were even enough to make whatsoever our Lord Jesus Christ hath done and suffered, of none effect. For, why came he down into the world, why took he our flesh upon him, why suffered he upon the Cross, why rose he again, and why ascended he into heaven? Forsooth he did all this, to this end and purpose, that he would gather us together into his kingdom, whenas he shall appear. And therefore this his coming, is as it were to seal and ratify all whatsoever he hath done and endured, for our salvation.
