Doct. 1. The end of all things is at hand.
This is gathered from verse 7. Now this may be understood, 1. of the end of all men, that live together, because a generation of men soon passeth away, and so the end of all those is properly said to be at hand. 2. It may also by the same reason be understood of the final condition of all those: because look how every one dyes, so shall he continue for ever, either happy or wretched. 3. It may also in some sort be understood of the end of the world.

Reason 1. Because these are the last ages, after which there is no coming of Christ to be expected; but unto judgement, nor any change of worship, but upon the consummation of all things.
