First, we read in Scripture, that Christs first coming it was in the form of a servant, Phil. 2. 7. But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. Now in the second coming, he comes with that glory and Majesty of a King. In the first coming, he had no reasonable creature to attend him, at the second coming he shall have all the Saints and Angels in Heaven to attend him. At his first coming he was swaddled with swaddling bands, but at this second coming he shall be as it were clothed with the Clouds of Heaven.
