Secondly, Christs coming again is a Doctrine of comfort, in case of all persecution thou undergoest from men, for Christ, for the Gospel, 1 Thess. 1. 6, 7. Seeing it is a righteous thing with God, to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you: And to you who are troubled, rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from Heaven, with his mighty Angels. As if he should have said, you are troubled and persecuted about the Gospel, for Christs sake, why, be not troubled, for Christ is coming from Heaven, 1 Peter 4. 13.
