Now this later part contains in it four of these ten words of Comfort, held out in this Model. 1. The first is, an obviating and removal of a discouragement and temptation which might possibly be upon the spirits of dying Saints, namely, lest the condition of the Saints which shall be found alive at the last day, should be happier, or (at least) sooner happy, than the Saints which are fallen asleep long before; and the removal of this discouragement, makes a seventh Word of Comfort in this Model. 2. A second word is, The coming of Christ, his last appearance; the Lord himself shall descend, &c. and this is the eighth word contained in this Model. ⟨p. 57⟩3. The third is, The joyful and triumphant Meeting which all the Saints of God shall then have with one another, and with Christ their Head and Husband, ver. 17. And this is the nineth Consolatory Argument, in the order of the context. 4. The last word of Comfort is, That blessed co-habitation and Communion which the Saints shall enjoy with Jesus Christ for ever: then shall we ever be with the Lord, vers. 17. And this is the tenth and last Consolatory Argument, contained in this Model.
