And Jews and Gentiles may suspect the whole Gospel, because they see Men peremptory about things which are not revealed in the Gospel, and shall see their false-hood appearing to all; be not peremptory in your determinations about the time of Christs coming, nor about the place where, for neither is revealed in Scripture Christ did deny his Disciples when they asked him where he should come▪ Luk. 17. 37. And they answered and ⟨p. 149⟩said, where Lord? And he said unto them, where the body is, thither will the Eagles be gathered together. Christ told them of the destruction of Jerusalem, and of the end of the Wo•ld; then said the Disciples, but where Lord wilt thou come?
