The second Branch of our general ⟨p. 10⟩Position, which hath also been proved, is this, That the LORD Jesus Christ shall appear the Second Time; which is now to be explained. The Second Coming of Christ from Heaven, is often asserted by the Prophets and Apostles, and confirmed by the Testimony of Christ himself. Rev. 22.7. I come quickly, ver. 12. Behold I come quickly. And ver. 26. Surely I come quickly, Amen, Even so, Come LORD Jesus. Zech. 14.5. And the Lord my God shall come, and all the Saints with thee.

Phil. 3.20. & Heb. 9.28. do testify, That our LORD Jesus Christ will certainly, suddenly, and visibly appear the Second Time, and come from Heaven upon the Earth in his own Person. This Job believed, and therefore did he speak, Job 19.25. For I know that my Redeemer Liveth: And be shall stand [[Greek or Hebrew]] in the last of Time or Day upon the Earth. Read ver. 26, 27. Heb. 10.37. Yet a little while and HE that ⟨p. 11⟩shall come, will come, and will not tarry. Act. 1.11. This self same Jesus, which is taken up from you into Heaven, shall so come in like manner, as ye have seen him go into Heaven.

As the Lightning cometh out of the East, and shineth unto the West, so shall also the Coming of the SON of Man be, so visible,
