A Congregation of Kings and Priests in all their Royal Robes: Yea (as I may so say) a Congregation or Constellation of Morning-Stars, yea of so many Noon-day Suns, arising from the Earth, co-Ascending through the several Regions of the Air, to meet the Sun of Righteousness, now descending from his own Orb of Supreme Glory and Majesty in the highest Heavens, to Judg both the quick and the dead?
