Doct. 6. The joy of Christians in the return or reappearing of their Lord, is such as no man shall take from them.
Of these by Gods assistance, I shall speak in order, and therefore be but short on each.
Doct. 1. Sorrow goeth before joy with Christs disciples.
The evening and the morning make their day. They must sow in tears before they reap in joy; They must have trouble in the World, and peace in Christ. God will first dwell in the contrite heart to prepare it to dwell with him in glory. The pains of travail must go before the joy of the beloved birth.
Qu. what kind of sorrow is it that goeth before our joy.
