Again, his first coming it was in dishonour and contempt, every Traveller had more honour then Jesus Christ, for the Inn was for every Traveller, but there was no room for Christ there, he was borne in an outhouse; ⟨p. 178⟩but his second coming shall be in great glory.

Again, in his first coming, Christ representing the persons of the Elect came with sin imputed to him, and was the greatest Beggar in the world, as Luther saith and the greatest sinner in the world, not by way of inherence but by way of imputation; therefore Luther calleth him Peccator maximus, the greatest sinner: Christ incoming into the the world, had all the sins of the Elect of God imputed to him; so he came as a sinner, as an evil person, though he was not so, yet he was looked upon as so; But the second time, he shall come without sin, he shall not have our sins by imputation cast on him, because when he comes again he shall make a total Abolition of sin; Therefore, there needs no imputation of our sins upon Jesus Christ. Thus you have a fourth way of his coming, he shall come Gloriously.
