Secondly, I am to show you, how he is come, There is a two fold coming of Christ: his gracious, and his glorious coming. His glorious coming is not till hereafter, at the last day. This is the coming that he speaks of, Rev. 1. 7. He speaks of it as if it were present: because 'tis as certain as if it were present. Every eye shall see him. But then there is his gracious coming, and that is two fold corporal, or spiritual. His corporal coming, in his admirable Incarnation: his spiritual coming in the Gospel Invitation.

(First,) His corporal coming in his admirable incarnation. And this is blessed news to the world, at this his coming there were a quire of angels to celebrate his praise, Luke 2. 13, 14.
